This is the first of our 'What Crypto Did' episodes, where we talk about the latest news stories that have been filling your feeds over the past few weeks. We kick off with the biggest story that has been dominating the news lately, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Cryptocurrency has been catapulted into the spotlight as a result of the invasion, with the humanitarian aid fund Relief receiving over $50 million worth of donations in cryptocurrency. Then Tracey brings the bizarre story of the alleged Bitfinex hackers, an unknown writer and rapper Heather Morgan (AKA Razzle Khan) and her husband Elya Lichtenstein. We go over the crypto ads that aired during the superbowl and Tracey discusses Twitter's integration of Ethereum for tipping fellow users on the platform.
