This Week in Crypto - FOMO Returns
Listen now
Description
Is crypto back? That’s one question Bloomberg editors and reporters discuss in another This Week in Crypto episode.  Already, the year is packed with digital asset action. Bitcoin is up 30 percent so far in 2023. Lots of smaller tokens are even more than that.  Suddenly, crypto enthusiasts are uttering words like FOMO — Fear of Missing Out - again. Then there are some crypto comebacks happening. Or, at least, some crypto comeback attempts. The guys behind 3AC, Three Arrows Capital, the cryptocurrency hedge fund credited in some circles with launching the crypto winter, are seeking funding for a new startup. Crypto Twitter has not been kind. And also, Heather Morgan, an accused cryptocurrency thief charged along with her husband in the world’s biggest crypto heist, has landed a new tech job! Bloomberg senior crypto editor Anna Irrera and Bloomberg reporter Vildana Hajric join Phili Lagerkranser in this episode to review and discuss this and all the week’s top digital asset news.
