About this episode

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo returns to discuss why the Clarity Act failed, why he believes it is likely dead for now, and why the SEC and CFTC are moving quickly to write crypto rules anyway. He explains that both agencies had rule proposals ready before the vote failed, and that the next two years could create a full regulatory framework for digital assets even without Congress passing a comprehensive bill. Giancarlo also previews his new book, The New Adventures of Crypto Dad, and makes the case that the next major fight is financial freedom, privacy, and preventing the digital financial system from becoming a surveillance tool.  Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code CRYPTO101 for 20% OFF: https://www.trudiagnostic.com Check out ShipStation and use my code crypto for a great deal: https://www.shipstation.com Check out Scribe and use my code scribe.how/invest for a great deal: https://scribe.com Check out Quince and use my code CRYPTO101 for a great deal: https://www.quince.com Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/crypto101 Check out Omaha Steaks and use my code BEEF for a great deal: https://www.omahasteaks.com Get my #1 altcoin pick for this month.
