New research reveals that crypto adoption is spreading quickly across the Asia-Pacific region, driven by practical utility and stablecoin use for daily finance, rather than by market hype (1:19).
The Czech National Bank has launched a pilot program to gain hands-on experience managing digital assets like Bitcoin and stablecoins (3:07).
We also break down the upcoming Grayscale IPO. As the asset manager prepares to list on the NYSE, we examine the competitive pressures and fee challenges it faces despite its long-standing position in the market (4:48).
And finally, we cover Public's $65 million acquisition of Alto's crypto IRA business, a strategic play to integrate tax-advantaged crypto holdings into mainstream retirement planning (6:12).
