It’s been another wild week in crypto, specifically for Sam Bankman-Fried. The crypto founder and former CEO of FTX has been spending time in a Bahamian jail after being denied bail related to multiple criminal charges. On Tuesday, he signed documents formally agreeing to be extradited to the US to face numerous charges, including allegations of fraud and money laundering.

The FTX bankruptcy and its aftermath are impacting the wider digital asset industry, including Binance - by far the largest crypto exchange in the world by volume - and its affiliate, Binance US.

Bloomberg editor Beth Williams joins the episode to consider the week’s events and ponder what’s next.
