Editor’s Note: Just after we finished taping this episode, Mastercard announced its patent to use cryptocurrencies as a payment method, and the price of bitcoin soared through the $6,800 resistance level we discussed in the show. We’ll try mentioning bitcoin’s new resistance level in the next edition of Crypto Monitor and see if we get the same result.
Summary
One of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, Binance, is launching a decentralized bank in Malta. What’s a decentralized bank? And why Malta? Andy Gordon and Vin Narayanan discuss that and other big cryptocurrency news in this week’s Crypto Monitor. They also introduce a new segment to the show called Role Play! That’s where Andy and Vin pretend to be someone from the crypto (or crypto-adjacent) world to discuss a topic in the news.
