Crypto Billionaires Reconcile, 'Britcoin' In Works

Crypto is an asset class that runs 24/7. It’s hard to keep up. So we’re back with a show that reviews the biggest stories of the week. Here’s one: the United Kingdom is amping up plans to launch a digital currency, which folks have started calling Britcoin.

And there’s been a significant development in the dispute among various crypto billionaires. On one side: Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss and their Gemini Exchange.

Senior editor Anna Irrera joins this episode to review the week’s top crypto news.
