seal brian brooks. sonali: thank you for joining us. just hired a former regulator at finance u.s. how are you looking to maneuver some of these regulatory concerns that exist in the u.s., let alone across the world? brian: first of all, thank you for having me these are really important questions. i quibble little bit with the premise and the premise seems to be that regulation is bad for crypto. we are in a transition point where the number of people participating in this market has gotten so big that you need basic frameworks. that is a sign of maturity and the growth of the market more than a sign of something bad. what i think it means is exchanges like ours, the biggest exchanges in the world need to be very sophisticated about how do you allow decentralization to occur? while ensuring the risk management, complying with the law, the disclosure of what you are selling to your customers. that is why we are so excited about bringing the former financial communications commissioner on board. we need people with those types of backgro

ceo brian brooks earlier.ar industry has spent decades getting electricity directly from the sun. now it's working on making panels more powerful and transparent. >> today we are at -- electric power research institute for a peek at one of many innovations companies are working to to take -- working to take solar power to the next level. the biggest success story for energy and environment is how companies manage to cut the cost of solar panels by 90%, make -- making them a cheaper source of electricity then in many parts of the world. now that they have made them cheap, companies are working to make them more powerful. the reason for that is that panels are just part of the cost of solar power. developers also have to compensate workers and pay lawns. as panels become a smaller part of the overall cost, it helps developers if they are more powerful to get more return on the rest of their spending. this is one of several firms researching a material. it is thin and transparent, and convert sunlight into electr

sonali basak spoke to brian brooks earlier about bitcoins association with money laundering and fraudegulation is bad or scary for crypto. the number of people participating in this market has gotten so big that you need basic frameworks and that is a sign of the maturity and growth of the market more than it is a sign of something bad. what i think it does mean is that exchanges like ours, the biggest in the world, need to be very sophisticated about how do you allow decentralization to occur, how do you bring these assets to the market, while ensuring good risk management, compliance with law, the disclosure of what you are selling to your customers and those kinds of things? that is why we are so excited about bringing the commissioner on board. we need people with those kinds of backgrounds who can bend policymakers in senior roles to help us navigate these shoals and successful companies will try and compete with that kind of talent. >> can you clarify the relationship for viewers between the company in the u.s. and global, the roads biggest crypto exchange by far? i know they ar

and may be brian brooks. in particular there was an enforcement action brought by the sec against a social media company that almost nobody had heard about the time called telegram. and tillich her most bring to launch a token that could be treated to its messenger service. they did it according to a generally excepted framework but the sec brought enforcement action and said that you can't do that. what this donald trump junior say? go follow me on telegram. telegram would've been a much more viable competitor to facebook if trump's sec had simple let them have their offering and let them develop in any direction and compete on your grams with the incumbents. but if these folks were upset about the social platforms that are not willing to allow this competitive activity, and i think they're going to really solidify the monopolies that are currently in place. so what i think the path is for states again that are upset about this is to coordinate, to use existing regulatory frameworks that have traditionally b

anna: that was brian brooks discussing regulatory concerns about crypto currency across the world, ann to that. let's gets to the market action this morning. european equity markets making decent gains, moving to the upside .6. laura coop joins us. this rally that we're seeing in the european equity market, a bit of a rebound from losses from yesterday. >> start from the upbeat day we saw in the latter part of u.s. session. what was the catalyst for that? we don't really know? could it potentially be oil prices tumbling? unlikely. potentially it is just the case of stocks taking a breath before they extend their climb higher. anna: indeed. what role is the big move that we have seen in treasury markets playing here? u.s. treasury markets yesterday saw substantial move, a substantial move to the upside. 1.33%. seems to be with the fact that we spent a lot of the first half of this year thinking about inflation and inflation fears. you have to wonder what the positioning is like in the treasury market at this point. >> certainly. the unwinding of the short treasuries was potentially par

brookings. doctor, i will ask it this way. if the delta variant is not breaking through, why all of this talk about boosters? >> yeah, brian really are to help supplement our immune response to the first two shots, and i think where it is getting very confusing here is that pfizer, you know, came out with their announcement last week and it really did imply we had to have boosters, all americans did. when i think if you really pause and look at the data, and i think that's what the u.s. officials did, even looking at israeli data and other countries, you do see that select populations, brian, probably do need a boost at some point in, let's say, anywhere from six to twelve months after their first doses. those are primarily 5% of americans with an immuno compromised condition or under cancer therapies or had an organizeal transplant and we are looking at elderly population. france, the uk and israel are moving ahead with these booster doses, the same dose that they got in the first and second, but a third dose for those special populations and high-risk workers. i think that's probably what a lot of the context was for the
