Bloomberg Crypto - Terra: Is It Some Kind of Bitcoin?
play

06/23/22 • 18 min

The Washington Nationals baseball team didn’t have a great start to their season, and that’s not just because of their losing record. They also managed to debut a sponsorship deal with the organization behind the not-so-stable stablecoin, TerraUSD. The name of that organization, Terraform Labs, is now splashed all over billboards, uniforms, seats – everything. It might have seemed like a good play when they signed the contract, but by the time TerraUSD crashed and burned in early May, it started to look more like a strikeout. In this episode, Bloomberg senior editor Mike Regan, joins the conversation to sort through how crypto companies are changing the sports landscape.

Bloomberg Crypto - AI Hype Meets Crypto Winter
play

03/02/23 • 16 min

Most crypto enthusiasts pride themselves on being tech visionaries. After all, they were among the first to back innovative blockchain technologies and even embrace Web3 and NFTs.

Now there’s a new innovation that's captured the public imagination, and it's getting a lot of buzz in the crypto world too. It’s ChatGPT.

Late last year, OpenAI's new chatbot sparked a conversation about the future of artificial intelligence. People on the internet were going CRAZY about its ability to craft human-like responses and even ace an exam from Wharton.

Ever since, AI-linked crypto tokens have been on a rapid rise. At one point in early February, tokens from decentralized AI companies like SingularityNet and SingularityDAO soared over the span of just a couple of days.

But as the fervor grows, so do concerns. And some industry insiders are warning investors against being too bullish. So, what exactly are AI tokens and how can they shape the industry? Bloomberg’s Hannah Miller joins this episode.

Bloomberg reporter Hannah Miller joins this episode to discuss what’s happening with crypto VCs and the startups who need them.

As we reported this week, Binance acknowledged that it had been mistakenly mixing the collateral it holds for some of its tokens.... in the same digital wallet as other types of funds.

This kind of operational issue is a challenge for these exchanges, especially now, at a point when both regulators and customers are paying super close attention to how this industry is managing its transparency.

Also, layoffs continue to happen in crypto - and that’s impacting other industries, with numerous companies tightening their belts and shedding workers. Bloomberg senior editor Anna Irrera and Bloomberg reporter Justina Lee join to discuss.

Bloomberg Crypto - NFT Fans Say 2023 Is Looking Up
play

03/15/23 • 25 min

Listen to Bloomberg Crypto on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Some might argue that the popularity of NFTs faded as quickly as it rose. NFTs boomed in early 2022 when the crypto mania was at fever pitch. But a steep decline in sales and prices quickly followed, as 2022’s crypto winter set in, and digital asset bankruptcies piled up, culminating with the collapse of FTX late last year. But as we move into 2023, some crypto traders and NFT owners are cautiously optimistic, eyeing a Bitcoin bump despite the last year.

Former bond traders Ovie Faruq and Mike Anderson recently sold 72 iconic Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs for around 78 Eth each, which translated to roughly $9.25 million at the time.

Bloomberg reporter Abhinav Ramnarayan and Ovie Faruq, Co-founder at Canary Labs, join senior editor Anna Irrera to discuss the ins and outs of trading NFTs.
