I hate to say this out loud but I keep going back to some particular episodes to help me nod off when insomnia grips. I'm not sure I know how the episode on the gold standard ends and I must have listened to it more than 10 timss.

They don't have to stick the entire $80bn in one bank. It is the lack of transparency around the CP that is raising eyebrows. Why can't Tether list the papers they are invested in? It is such a simple thing to do. Could be all the

Selling options is not riskless. They would be collecting pennies until there is a big market move and they are on the hook for dollars.

CBOE has a market cap of $10 billion (on revenues of $3 billion) ICE has a market cap of $66 billion (on revenues of $8 billion) Coinbase's market cap is going to be higher than both exchanges combined - while doing a fifth of the reve

Could an existing exchange like say ICE or CME jump into the fray to service institutional investors? They already have much of the infrastructure to handle much larger trading flows than Coinbase. Talent/tech required to compete could
