gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Catherine Gu are back this week, talking about tokenized deposits — We're taking a closer look at what they are, how they intersect with CBDCs, and how bankers are thinking about using these assets.

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and Catherine Gu are back this week, talking about the future of bitcoin. We'll dive into what people in the space are building and ultimately, how do we create more utility around BTC, arguably the most important asset in crypto. Bitcoin is one of the most important and secure blockchains and assets, but the challenge with transacting BTC has always been its scalability, high cost and slow speed when transacting. Lightning Network is a layer-2 built on top of Bitcoin that enables users to send BTC quickly and cheaply by moving transactions off of the main blockchain. We'll discuss some exciting news surrounding Lightning Network and the main use cases we've seen, many of which are efforts to bring BTC to the mainstream as an asset you can transact with.

gm. Mauricio Magaldi and brand new co-host Catherine Gu are here this week, talking all things crypto UX. Since crypto is still very much in the growth and build stage, a lot of time, effort, and money is spent on technical research, cryptography, software engineering, and getting the structural parts figured out. But going forward, user experience will need to be prioritized and researched in order for it to be more accessible and usable to encourage mass adoption of blockchain and crypto. What are the pain points? What are the challenges and what can be made better for thenext generation of crypto users?

Banks are looking to CBDCs as a form of currency that expedites transactions and increases the security of payments between banks, institutions, and individuals and we look at the biggest news stories and developments around the world for CBDCs. Not only that but Visa has some news of its own: Just last week, Visa expanded its use of US Dollar Coin (USDC) for digital currency settlement, adding pilot programs globally with WorldPay, Nuvei, and Xapo, modernising large value, cross-border payments, for end-to-end digital currency settlement over blockchain.

gm. Mauricio Magaldi is back this week with a bonus episode to talk about a story that's been grasping everyone's attention. You may remember the OneCoin frenzy from its peak in 2015-2016, or its highly publicised fall in 2017 when its creator, Dr Ruja Ignotava, disappeared without a trace and millions, if not billions, of dollars. Regulators issued warnings, police departments around the world got involved, victims of the scam came out to share their stories, and the so-called ‘Cryptoqueen' is still nowhere to be found. Fast forward to right now, Ignatova is now on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list, and developments in her case have been rolling in. Today, we are bringing you a very special interview with the person behind the incredible 2019 BBC podcast series, ‘The Missing Cryptoqueen', which investigated the disappearance of Ignatova, and to chat about his new book: Jamie Bartlett.
