This week, we've got a very special guest joining us for this week's crypto news — Peter Stanhope, General Manager Australia at Nexo.
Peter has spent almost a decade at IG Australia, co-founded superannuation startup GigSuper, ran Capital.com's Australian operations, jumped the fence into crypto with Banxa, and now heads up Nexo here in Australia — just as they've launched regulated crypto-backed credit lines Down Under.
Welcome, Peter!
So what have we got for you this week?
First up, we're going inside Nexo with Peter to find out how a crypto platform went from a 2018 startup to more than 7 million customers — and what regulated crypto-backed lending actually looks like for Australians.
Then, California has had enough of politician memecoins. Its legislature has unanimously voted to ban public officials from launching their own coins — because apparently this is a problem we now need laws for.
And finally, we've got 4,000 goats, an insane wage law and a prediction market. A California goat-herding company has literally hedged the risk of a $240,000 wage bill by betting on whether the government will fix the law.
Let's get into it. 🚀
