This bonus episode of Public Keys was recorded live at Consensus. Host Jennifer Sanasie sits down with three guests at the center of crypto in the public markets. Grayscale's Krista Lynch breaks down how crypto ETFs have evolved from simple bitcoin access into index products, in-kind creation for crypto whales, and early staking. Morgan Stanley's Amy Oldenburg explains how MSBT became the firm's most successful ETF launch ever — $230 million in three and a half weeks at 14 bps — while the firm simultaneously rolls out spot crypto trading across its $7 trillion wealth platform. And BitGo CEO Mike Belshe joins four months into his IPO to discuss the firm's OCC charter and why the Clarity Act matters more as a legislative stamp of approval than anything it changes on day one.
