The FTX hearing by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs starts shortly. I'll be livetooting it here, and will be publishing a recap of it in my newsletter later.

Hearing stream: https://banking.senate.gov/hearings/crypto-crash-why-the-ftx-bubble-burst-and-the-harm-to-consumers

I'll use the #FTXhearing hashtag throughout, so feel free to filter it out if I'm clogging your feed or you'd rather catch up later.

And, again, the conversations I'm having here are so much better.
