What the Infrastructure Bill Could Mean for Crypto Firms

Jeff Horowitz, Chief Compliance Officer of crypto custodian BitGo, digs into the U.S. Senate's $1 trillion infrastructure bill and what it could mean for his business. "I don't see it as a day one issue for us, but as we've seen this week, really broad and narrowly defined definitions could mean a lot," Horowitz said.
