Sarah and Christine sit down with one of the most influential individuals in financial regulation, Chris Giancarlo, also known as “Crypto Dad” for his father-like advocacy of cryptocurrency as former chairman of the CFTC, governing body that oversees Commodity Futures Trading, and member of the US Financial Stability Oversight Committee as well as the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets.

We break down the basics for our listeners – what should the average consumer know about crypto regulation and why is regulation so important for the future success of crypto? We also discuss Giancarlo’s new book (“CryptoDad: The Fight for the Future of Money”) and his future outlook on regulation, risk, and innovation in the US.
