Ledger Cast Rounds Up Flash Loan Drama, FTX Funding and Tron's Steemit Deal

The latest episode of the Ledger Cast podcast, hosted by Brian Krogsgard and Josh Olszewicz, works through a crowded week of crypto news. The hosts also look at a stumble in traditional markets and recent bitcoin and broader crypto price action.

Among the headlines, FTX is raising $15 million at a $1 billion valuation, Shopify has joined the Libra project, and Tron has bought Steemit. Visa is granting Coinbase bitcoin debit cards, and Ripple wants to get into DeFi as well.

Other items include drama around flash loans, the IOTA network possibly going live by March, and Algo staking arriving on the Coinbase and Binance exchanges. Binance has described its Malta presence as only its "spiritual headquarters," and the show also covers an SEC settlement with Enigma.

Josh Olszewicz has also written recent articles on Decred, Litecoin and Link for Brave New Coin, which sponsors the show. The episode is available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher, YouTube and RSS. The hosts note that the material is educational and not investment advice.
