Will Bitcoin become legal tender in the U.S.? Plus, why crypto isn’t waiting for CLARITY

On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange, host Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Strike CEO Jack Mallers, who explains why he stepped down as CEO of Twenty One Capital, makes his case for bitcoin as "the most American money," and unpacks the launch of Strike Private. Zero Knowledge Group Founder and CEO Austin Campbell breaks down the CLARITY Act's failure to advance in the Senate, why the GENIUS Act has already reshaped the regulatory landscape, and how crypto has become caught in a broader fight over congressional ethics heading into the midterms. Plus, Christian Lopez, Managing Director and Head of Blockchain and Digital Assets at Cohen & Company Capital Markets, on the Fed's rate hike, how Anthropic's looming IPO is soaking up market liquidity, and why the tokenization of real-world assets is pulling Wall Street into crypto.
