Highlighting what went right, and what went wrong, in this week’s crypto news analysis.
A relatively quiet week, with accompanying price stability (for crypto) across the boards. A few big announcements, like this one from Germany; interspersed with the odd keynote at the start of the 2019 conference season, like this one from the SEC’s ‘crypto mom’.
