Description

It's the weekend edition of CoinMarketRecap! Connor Sephton and Molly Jane Zuckerman have a whistle-stop tour of this week's biggest crypto headlines. We discuss the latest twists and turns in the merge as the date for Ethereum's switch to Proof-of-Stake is revealed. Plus, two separate cases reveal why hiring hitmen using crypto (or at all) is a bad idea. We'll also find out why Mark Cuban is being sued... and why videos of Andrew Tate are causing controversy.
