The Weekly News Roundup, ending 5 June 2022

In adoption, we’re seeing the game theory often mentioned, as Bermuda and Cyprus respond to the incentives of drawing talent and money by crafting legislation to set their jurisdictions up as “crypto hubs.”

Lots of good data on LUNA’s demise keeps coming out.

And we’re seeing all that proposed legislation on stablecoins continuing to progress.

Oh…and the Solana network broke. Again. *eyeroll*

We’ve also got a couple old Bitcoin Forum posts for the Time Capsule.


Comments and suggestions, reach out -> hello @ tinycryptoblog.com

Be well, Everyone.
