In this episode, the Roundup crew and Myles O’Neil are diving into the hot topics from a volatile week in the markets. They discuss the recent Compound Finance governance attack, the first week of Ethereum ETF trading, and how teams should handle token unlocks. Additionally, they ask if crypto is now a bipartisan issue, and what governance tokens should be classified as. Finally, they speculate on whether or not we are entering a recession.

Thanks for tuning in!
