  • Coin-flict: The war in Ukraine has boosted crypto demand across the board, causing bitcoin price swings and renewing calls for more crypto rules. Ukraine has raised over $35M in crypto aid from a wide array of donors.
  • Yacht-onomics: To crank up pressure on Putin, the US and allies are targeting Russian oligarchs by going after their superyachts. So far, the politically connected oligarchs have lost at least $83B because of sanctions.
  • She-cession: More women stopped working during Covid than men, even though recessions usually hit men harder. Unemployment has fallen below 4%, from a 15% peak in 2020, but women’s jobs are recovering more slowly.
