SOB #453 - Washington, Regulation & Bitcoin Custody with Peter Van Valkenburgh

On this episode of Speaking of Bitcoin, CoinCenter’s Research Director, Peter Van Valkenburgh, joins the hosts for a discussion about FinCEN’s “Self Custodied Wallet” rule. The recently proposed, much commented attempt to extend rules which govern how banks must report on their customers would apply to companies like CoinBase plus a whole lot more. It’s a bit of a wonky topic, but one that’s critically important as bitcoin continues its march towards the mainstream and governments seek to grapple with the implications.
