In this episode of The Social Ledger Report, hosts JR (Founder of Social Market) and Leon Hitchens (CMO of Social Market) dive deep into the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency, trust, and global regulation. The duo returns after a brief break with a renewed focus, bringing clarity, humor, and candid insights to complex crypto topics without the jargon.

They begin by unveiling Social Market’s new direction, shifting from trading platforms to crypto coverage, a safer, more affordable protection system for users facing hacks, technical errors, or scams. Then, they explore key developments in the crypto world, including the rise of blockchain-based malware, Logan Paul’s CryptoZoo lawsuit dismissal, and Trump’s controversial pardon of Binance founder CZ.

The discussion expands to how major institutions, such as Western Union and Zelle, are adopting stablecoins, signaling that mass crypto adoption is closer than ever. The hosts end on a reflective note about how AI, developers, and blockchain technology are reshaping finance and what that means for the next decade of innovation.
