About this episode
The episode discusses the political battle over the CLARITY Act, the implications for crypto, and recent market events involving SpaceX and Cardano.
A centrist Democratic group is spending six figures to brand the CLARITY Act as "Trump's crypto grifto." Jamie Dimon is on the same side. David walks through what's actually happening and why crypto might need a Plan B. Plus: the SpaceX pre-IPO perp that flash crashed 45% on Hyperliquid, and Cardano canceling its annual conference.
