------------------------------------------------------------
Crypto has dominated headlines lately—and none of them have been good, to say the least.
FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried is facing fraud charges. Another lending platform, Celsius, went bankrupt. The value of Bitcoin has fallen by half, with other digital coins tumbling along behind it.
