Tune in to this episode of @TheSTOShow where this week @happytokenizing, @KyleSonlin, and @NicoPantelis cover the industry leading headlines and market movements, including how the US is becoming the crypto capital of the world.

This week @Jason_Barraza_ had the opportunity to host @LeoMizuhara on @circle's acquisition of @Hashnote_Labs. They dive into what differentiates $USYC, impacts on collateral management for both crypto and TradFi, where he sees the market going for stables and yieldcoins, and a whole lot more insights!

Jason also sat down with @DavidIseminger from @IronWeave and @richardluftigcp from @CastleCPGO on their current $15M raise for a blockchain-based operating system. The 3 talk about what IronWeave is building, affinity benefits for token holders, traditional vs. tokenized raises, and more!
