E40 • Jun 26, 2024 • 11 mins

Roni discusses Julian Assange's Bitcoin donations, UAE's new crypto payment regulations, and their potential impact on investments. The episode also covers Covalent's $5 million funding round, their expansion plans, and Arthur Hayes joining as an advisor.

Key Points

  • Julian Assange's release was significantly aided by an anonymous Bitcoiner who donated over 8 Bitcoin to help cover his legal and travel expenses.
  • The United Arab Emirates' new regulations on payment tokens may effectively ban crypto payments within the country, raising concerns about its impact on the UAE's investment climate and digital economy ambitions.
  • Covalent secured $5 million in strategic funding to expand its blockchain data infrastructure operations into Asia, highlighting the increasing importance of long-term data availability in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space.
