Ledger Cast Weighs Altcoin Setups Alongside Bitfinex, KYC and Exchange News

Ledger Cast, the cryptocurrency trading and blockchain podcast hosted by Brian Krogsgard and Josh Olszewicz, used its latest episode to work through a run of recent industry news before turning to altcoins. The episode is framed around setups for 2020, and the hosts stress that the material is educational and not investment advice.

On the legal side, the hosts discussed a Bitfinex lawsuit that had been dropped. The case was filed again after the recording, this time with an additional plaintiff in New York, a reminder that withdrawing a complaint does not always end a dispute.

Identity checks were another thread. The hosts raised know-your-customer requirements at Deribit and at exchanges more generally, a subject that keeps coming up as trading platforms decide how much verification to demand from users.

The episode also touched on Tagomi, which the hosts described as an exchange and prime broker, along with the release of Virgil from jail, a follow-up on Iran, and remarks involving Senator Loeffler. Full details of each segment are in the episode itself.

The main focus, though, is the altcoin discussion. Krogsgard and Olszewicz walk through how they are thinking about particular altcoin setups heading into the new year. The show is available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher, YouTube, and via RSS. It is produced in partnership with Brave New Coin, a market data provider.
