We also have a huge segment led by the Geordie Prince taking a look at the performance of Ken's Coin of the Week picks! You may be surprised at how many legitimate crypto funds have lost out to the glorious Ken Dex...

This week Ken is not here so we miss out on the notorious Ken's coin of the week, but we do however take a look at the Syscoin/Binance disaster. What happened and who can we blame? Pro tip: Binance probably didn't get hacked. Coinbase Custody has gone live, will this make us all rich on institutional fat cat's money? Fcoin congested the Ethereum network, we tell you how annoying that is. Prince gives a full rundown of Beak's coins of the week and compares performance with Mike Novogratz, ex manager of Fortress Capital and Beak gives us some sage advice and has a punt at what may be the best performing coin from the week. As always, NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. All this, and more, from another prime episode of Crypto Weekly. Dangerously close to educational.

The Crypto Weekly crew chat with the CEO of INXT, Fran Villalba Segarra about the decentralised file storage landscape, their X Cloud Platform, INXT token economics and their upcoming beta.
