Crypto is re-entering the startup dialogue, but during ETH Denver last week, the discussions revolved as much around regulatory changes in Washington as they did around digital tokens.

The era of relentless hype seems to be on pause. So, what lies ahead?
In this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan engages with Jacquelyn Melinek, CEO of Token Relations and host of the Talking Tokens and Crypto in America podcasts, to dissect the market’s evolution and identify which aspects of the crypto landscape are poised for longevity.
