Laura Shin: Perp marketplace asked to create market in own index raises crypto standards questions

Laura Shin: Perp marketplace asked to create market in own index raises crypto standards questions
Crypto marketplace faces standards concern

Laura Shin reports that a perpetual marketplace requested @carmenli to make a market in an index associated with her name.

She explains that @carmenli declined this request and discusses on Bits + Bips with @Steven_Ehrlich what this incident reveals about standards that the crypto sector has allowed to deteriorate.

Shin has previously drawn attention to centralized control at major firms, noting financial risks as Strategy and its shares declined to two-year lows. She also reported on Wall Street’s optimism surrounding Ethereum while citing questions about activity in ETH. These earlier reports add to her ongoing scrutiny of industry standards and market developments.
