Craig and Tracey took the helm this week with Blake away pitching Bamboo at Consensus as one of eight finalists in the Web 3 Pitch Fest hosted by Extreme Tech Challenge. Trace opens the episode announcing that the New York State of Financial Services - who are notoriously strict, have released guidelines for issuing dollar backed stable coins. Discussion continues around Binance announcing they have invested an undisclosed amount into Pancake swap, a decentralised app (DAP) built on the BNB chain. Other headlines making news this week included market share data showing that FTX has flipped rivals Coinbase in market share with 11% despite having only been around for less than half of the amount of time as Coinbase. As a user of FTX Trace shares why she thinks more users are moving towards FTX over Coinbase and has a laugh about some of the major sponsorships they have announced in an incredible 18 month rise which has seen them reach a 32 billion dollar valuation!
