    November 6, 2019 /

    Crypto news site Cointelegraph now has two new editors. Veteran journalist Jay Cassano will be taking the helm of the publication as editor in chief, while Dylan Love will be head of news. Though still widely read in crypto, Cointelegraph had been officially rudderless since mid-September.

    Financial markets similar to NYC sewers: Paxos CEO

    ‘How do you take the $600 trillion of assets, change essentially where they sit so that they can be moved around instantaneously by a much wider variety of people.’

    What’s the difference between the global financial markets and New York City’s sewer system?

    Meltem Demirors questions Wall Street’s involvement in crypto

    But is it really such a bad thing?

    October 20, 2019 /
