06. Blockchain reaction: The high cost of unregulated crypto

This episode of The Weekly Tradecast talks about ups and downs of cryptocurrencies with Marina Zucker, an UNCTAD economist working on debt and development finance issues.

After some incredible gains over two years, the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been plunging in recent months. More turbulence is likely.

Are cryptocurrencies here to stay? Is it time for governments to regulate them? Tune in to hear Ms. Zucker spell out the risks and share her ideas about solutions.
