Crypto Biz: NYDIG stacks sats, Elon buys Twitter By Cointelegraph

For all the doom and gloom surrounding crypto markets these days, there’s plenty to be excited about. Institutional investors are still actively buying (BTC), venture capital is still investing heavily into blockchain startups and forthcoming regulatory clarity is likely to pave the way for wider adoption, perhaps as early as next year. This week’s Crypto Biz newsletter features some exciting stories about adoption, not to mention Elon Musk’s deal to buy Twitter (finally).

Sidebar: I had the opportunity to attend Circle Internet Financial’s Converge22 conference in San Francisco last week. In a media session on the sidelines of the conference, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said USD Coin’s (USDC) “stablecoin” label is a misnomer and that we should start thinking about the asset as a true form of a digital dollar. I also had the opportunity to interview several leaders from the blockchain community on topics related to interoperability, market manipulation, CeFi risks and crypto’s multichain future.
