Is Ethereum moving too slow?
On today's Markets Outlook, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson tells CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie why he believes Ethereum's ambitious roadmap must move faster—or risk losing its first-mover advantage to newer, more modern blockchains. He also explains why quantum readiness has become an urgent priority and shares his vision for a durable, peer-to-peer financial system built on true economic freedom.
Plus, in this week's Brand New Rails, we speak with Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante after Backpack Securities' tokenized SpaceX stock (SPCX) surpassed $1 billion in trading volume.
