Featured Story:
An Opinion piece by Coindesk Deputy Managing Editor of Features & Opinion, Daniel Kuhn, titled Should We Worry About Tether’s Bitcoin-Buying Plan?
On today's show, we focus on the fact that Tether holds the largest stablecoin, USDT, which could be viewed as an attempt to de-risk its U.S. dollar exposure.
This episode was edited by Ryan Huntington, and Senior Producer is Michele Musso. All original music by Doc Blust and Colin Mealey.
HOST
Adam B. Levine joined CoinDesk in 2019 as the editor of its new audio and podcasts division. Previously, Adam founded the long-running Let's Talk Bitcoin! talk show with co-hosts Stephanie Murphy and Andreas M. Antonopoulos.
Finding early success with the show, Adam transformed the podcast's homepage into a full newsdesk and publishing platform, founding the LTB Network in January of 2014 to help broaden the conversation with new and different perspectives. In the Spring of that year, he would go on to launch the first and largest tokenized rewards program for creators and their audience. In what many have called an early influential version of "Steemit"; LTBCOIN, which was awarded to both content creators and members of the audience for participation was distributed until the LTBN was acquired by BTC, Inc. in January of 2017.
With the network launched and growing, in late 2014 Adam turned his attention to the practical challenges of administering the tokenized program and founded Tokenly, Inc. There, he led the development of early tokenized vending machines with Swapbot, tokenized identity solution Tokenpass, e-commerce with TokenMarkets.com and media with Token.fm. Adam owns some BTC, ETH and small positions in a number of other tokens.
