81: Custodian Going Bankrupt? | What's Going On With Prime Trust and How Does It Affect Swan, Strike, River | Binance and Coinbase Sued by the SEC


Listen Later

A deeper dive into the pros and cons of qualified custodians used by exchanges vs having your own infrastructure. A bankruptcy scare that led to speculation. Seems like Swan is doing just fine as it adds 85 jobs openings, triples the sales team and 15x's marketing spend.

A light touch on the Binance and Coinbase lawsuits as well.
