45 - Taking Ethereum Public | Ether Capital's CEO Brian Mosoff & CFO Stefan Coolican

Ether Capital is a publically traded company out of Canada, and Ether Capital's job is to get ETH on the balance sheet. 

The company is centered around ETH the asset and Ethereum the ecosystem, and offers a bridge for investors to be able to access exposure to the Ethereum ecosystem via public markets. 

We dive into the background and context of the company, as well as how the company structure gives them a competitive advantage.

Ethereum vs The STABLE Act | Rohan Grey

Rohan Grey is an assistant professor of Law at Willamette University, an Advisor to politicians including Rashida Tlaib, and one of the authors of the STABLE Act, which wants to impose Federal Bank Chartering upon any stablecoin issuer.

Interesting, this proposed legislation includes entities like Square's Cash App or PayPal! Anything that offers a claim on 1 Dollar is cited by this law. 

Rohan and the STABLE Act appear to be an outgrowth of the rise of MMT and the power and ability of the state to solve economic problems like poverty and joblessness. Rohan wants to protect 'money', which he believes is a public institution that needs protecting!

Also interestingly, the goals of the STABLE Act and DeFi are highly similar, yet are opposing in their strategies for achieving these goals. 

Tune into the conversation to learn about a diversity of perspectives regarding how to protect money!

🤖YEARN - YIELD-SEEKING MONEY ROBOT THAT FARMS DEFI FOR YOU http://bankless.cc/yearn------ Jake Chervinsky on the recent FinCEN Proposed Rulemaking

FinCEN has finally released a long-rumored proposed rule on how crypto-asset custodians like Coinbase, Gemini, or Cash app can compliantly enable their users to take control over their cryptocurrency funds into 'self-hosted' or 'unhosted wallets'. 

This new rule would impose new obligations on virtual asset service providers (VASPs) like exchanges & custodians and increase the reporting requirements on outbound transactions to their customers' wallets. 

The actual release:https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm1216

We bring on Jake Chervinsky to help us go through some of this news and help us digest what was released!
