Crypto often feels like a family affair.

ICYMI: EU policymakers largely overturned a proposal from @Europarl_EN calling for money-laundering checks on all transfers to unhosted crypto wallets on Wednesday.

Here’s how the news unfolded 🧵
coindesk.com/policy/2022/06…
Under the new agreement, verification requirements for unhosted wallets will only apply for transfers to one’s own private wallet, and only when the transfer is over 1,000 euros (~$1,052).
coindesk.com/policy/2022/06…
EU lawmaker @OKovarikMEP told CoinDesk the final result had “moved quite far from the initial proposal of the European Parliament.” Back in March, lawmakers demanded checks on all transfers to and from private crypto wallets.

Don't just follow the trend; invest in it.

Those who use crypto to make our future work model will be the ones who stay in it for the long run, @KyleSamani says.

These young graduates wanted to skip the nepotism and office politics.

So they joined a DAO.

#FutureofWorkWeek, presented by @Nexo: coindesk.com/layer2/futureo…
In 1977, the introduction of an LLC turned people on their heads. Today, it’s a widespread business model.

Could DAOs be this generation’s difference-maker?

Japanese exchange @Liquid_Global looks like a crypto success story.

@FTX_Official recently acquired it for an undisclosed price estimated at $140 to 200 million.

But … 🧵

CoinDesk interviewed over a dozen former employees and insiders. Nearly all asked for anonymity for fear of reprisal.

They say execs downplayed some cyber breaches, did not disclose others and prematurely stopped investigations into a $90 million hack. bit.ly/3wkTM46 Image
Employee concerns about regulatory, cybersecurity and business risks were dismissed and ignored by management. They were also blamed for not generating more revenue. bit.ly/3wkTM46 Image

🧵 How does crypto go from something only a few people use to something everyone uses without even thinking about it?

@Dan_Jeffries1 takes a look for #PaymentsWeek, presented by @circlepay: coindesk.com/layer2/payment…
