Crypto Contagion with Binance CEO CZ 12/15/22

In its latest effort to fight inflation, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates half a point to the highest level in 15 years, but CNBC’s Steve Liesman explains why the markets have reacted poorly. As Wall Street and Washington digest the Capitol Hill hearings on the FTX collapse, the CEO of rival crypto exchange Binance assures investors, “We are financially strong.” Changpeng Zhao “CZ” addresses concerns that his platform is also at risk of liquidity issues, discussing crypto contagion and his own role in the FTX drama. Plus, cheers to the holiday season! Joe Kernen, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin are excited for their shopping–and their festive beverages.
