Description

This episode is sponsored by NYDIG. Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW takes a deep dive into a recent speech by Sir Jon Cunliffe, the Bank of England’s Deputy Governor, Financial Stability. The speech was called “Is ‘crypto’ a financial stability risk?” NLW explores the four reasons Cunliffe is concerned about the potential for crypto to grow into a systemic financial risk. He argues that ultimately the focus on digital assets is a distraction from the real problem: opaque institutions in the traditional financial system.   NYDIG, the institutional-grade platform for bitcoin, is making it possible for thousands of banks who have trusted relationships with hundreds of millions of customers, to offer Bitcoin.
