About this episode

The episode discusses SpaceX's historic IPO and ongoing Clarity Act negotiations in the Senate, featuring insights from key guests.

The largest IPO in history has arrived. Elon Musk's SpaceX begins trading at a roughly $1.8 trillion valuation as the crypto market looks to recover from recent lows. Meanwhile, Clarity Act negotiations continue in the Senate, but progress on at least one key sticking point appears to have slowed with just a month left before lawmakers depart for the August recess. White House Crypto Council Executive Director Patrick Witt joins us with the latest from Washington. We also dive into the House's renewed focus on crypto taxes with former IRS Digital Assets Senior Advisor and Crypto Tax Girl Tax Director Trish Turner, and discuss the industry's push to preserve developer protections in the Clarity Act with Jito Labs CEO Lucas Bruder.
