One of the biggest benefits of Web3 and blockchain tech is that Artists can be compensated for their work long after the initial sale. The benefit of selling your work on the blockchain is that royalty terms are baked into an underlying Smart Contract tied to the artists work. But some platforms are creating ways to circumvent these rules and undercut the agreements. This week sparked a huge debate on twitter over Artist Royalties in Web3, so we sit down with Andrew Hayward of Decrypt Media to break it all down. Plus Web3 artist SWOPES joins Shira to give her take. 

After months of anticipation, the Fed has issued guidelines for banks looking to get into Crypto trading. We're joined by Hannah Lang, writer at Reuters, to try and understand what rules have been laid out and what this means for regulators.
