This week’s That’s Our Two Satoshis looks at:
• The Democratic sweep complicates crypto legislation and increases congressional scrutiny

Happy Thursday, live from Tokenization Tower
We're all gonna die. Lol. What a morning, we saw US tech stocks lose $1.3 trillion in 30 minutes & the Nasdaq 100 is on track for its worst day since April 2025.
Some big liquidation event certainly just hit the tape.
Lots to cover today...
Frank Chaparro of GSR joins us in studio on capital markets after the blue wave.
Then, Jeff Dorman of Arca on the protocols with real revenue, real buybacks and real customers.
Great show today, the line-up is in:
1:30 PM ET @fintechfrank - @GSR_io
2:00 PM ET @jdorman81 - @arca
See you on the show.

• Digital assets increasingly trading on Strong earnings expected even as equity markets and crypto prices fall
