Wisconsin Could Strip Your Voting Rights for Using Prediction Markets?
Description
On CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol, Renato Mariotti is joined by guest host Ari Redbord, Global Head of Policy at TRM Labs, for a conversation on the politics of the CLARITY Act, the state-vs-federal fight over prediction markets, and Wisconsin's invocation of an 1849 law that could bar prediction-market users from voting.
And, they sit down with Rachel Anderica, Head of Global Operations at Anchorage Digital, who walks through Anchorage's agentic banking build inside its OCC trust and a "cashless reserves" model in partnership with JPMorgan.
Plus, the hosts name the TradFi endorsers of CLARITY — BlackRock, Fidelity, and Goldman Sachs — as the Person of the Week.
