This week, I talk to Amplify co-founder Piers Curran about the latest expansion of the crypto market in which the broader rise in digital tokens has taken their overall market value past $3 trillion for the very first time. We also talk about the shift towards further adoption of Decentralised Finance (DeFi) and where it sits in the context of traditional assets and how to gain exposure to this emerging area.

The main macro theme of the week has been the surge in global inflation after US CPI rose at its fastest pace in 31 years last month. We look at the reasons and debate whether or not the Fed will blink with their transitory view. Finally, we review the current dynamics of COVID cases in England vs Mainland Europe and explain why Brexit negotiations will not conclude anytime soon!
