Senate Gets Serious About Crypto Taxes-Will Trump Save the Day?

The panel of illustrious experts will regale us with their wisdom, including Jason Somensatto, director of policy at Coin Center, Andrea S. Kramer, founding member of AS Kramer Law (because apparently “law” is a full-time job), Lawrence Zlatkin, the VP of tax at Coinbase (a company that clearly knows how to play the tax game), and Annette Nellen, who chairs the Digital Assets Tax Task Force at the American Institute of CPAs-because the world definitely needs more tax task forces.

Aave V4: DeFi’s New Toy or Financial Revolution? 🚀💸

The star of the show is Aave’s new “hub and spoke” design, which sounds like something you’d find in a bike shop but is actually financial genius. 🛠️ The idea is to let crypto borrowing and lending markets have more custom parameters without turning liquidity into a game of Whac-A-Mole.
