Great conversation with Aya Kantorovich from FalconX.
Discussion of the state of regulation, CeFi vs DeFi, BitMex, AML, AMM, liquidity etc.
* DeFi opening finance and democratizing market accessibility for retail
* CEX, DEX, or the same? Crypto juggling labels and what it means for traders.
* Liquidity! Centralized and decentralized, what differentiates AMMs (Automated Market Makers) from centralized liquidity providers
* The global landscape, we cover Cold War, Geopolitical tensions in Africa, China-US relations, and more
* And finally, everyone’s favorite, regulation! What does regulation mean for institutions, what questions should protocols ask themselves, what are good resources and next steps?
