| Why is this bull market being called confusing and atypical? | 05 févr. 2025 | 00:07:21 | |
It was another day of volatility in crypto, and traders, analysts, and market commentators began to sound alike, saying that this bull cycle no longer resembles bulls of the past. But why? After we look at that, it’s on to some major US political moves that will affect crypto, from SEC “relief” to crypto regulation proposals from lawmakers. Finally, we’ll look at ZachXBT's latest investigation that suggests Coinbase users are being scammed out of $300 million per year! Further reading:

| MicroStrategy to HODL $47B of Bitcoin, hits pause on new purchases | 04 févr. 2025 | 00:07:54 | |
As we move further from the weekend’s crypto bloodbath, we are getting a better sense of the scale of the event; the Bybit CEO said liquidations weren’t around $2 billion, but more like $10 billion! Nevertheless, yesterday saw a sizeable rebound across Bitcoin and altcoins, so there’s much to unpack. MicroStrategy finally put a halt on selling its stock for Bitcoin after 12 consecutive weeks of purchases, and Ethereum rallied as Eric Trump claimed it was a great time to buy ETH. Still, the Trump family crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, was reportedly trying to sell more of its WLFI token, which was swiftly denied. Further reading:

| Crypto suffers weekend massacre, but could Trump’s tariff war be good for Bitcoin? | 03 févr. 2025 | 00:07:16 | |
It was an utter bloodbath of a weekend for Bitcoin, spilling into Monday. The cause? Most point to US President Donald Trump, whose trade tariffs have wreaked chaos both inside and outside crypto. To begin today’s episode, I will go through exactly how Bitcoin was affected and what it might mean going forward. Then we’ll look at Binance being investigated in France on allegations of money laundering and drug trafficking, India’s hostile attitude toward crypto that may be changing and how one lucky maniac made the best part of $50 million in profit from a 50x leveraged short play on Ether!

| Memecoin madness: Ulbricht loses $12M in blunder, Elon Musk’s dad’s memecoin, Pump.fun class-action lawsuit | 31 janv. 2025 | 00:07:24 | |
Bitcoin is seeing a clear divergence in strategy between retail investors and whales — something that isn’t uncommon but is interesting. Outside of Bitcoin, it’s chaos as always. The parents of FTX’s former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, are looking into getting a pardon for their son from President Donald Trump, Pump.fun was hit with a class-action lawsuit claiming all memecoins from the platform are securities, Elon Musk’s dad has his own a memecoin and Ross Ulbricht's wallet loses $12 million in a memecoin misstep.

| Has President Donald Trump broken the wheel of crypto? | 30 janv. 2025 | 00:07:08 | |
Bitcoin saw some gains yesterday after the FOMC meeting, which included no surprises. Still, Fed Chair Jerome Powell answered a question that sparked today’s special episode: Is President Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly administration going to transform the cyclical nature of crypto? Have we seen the last altseason? Will crypto winters never be quite as frosty? I will look through the analysis of leading figures in the space and you can decide whether 2025 will be the year when everything changed.

| A Musk comment causes Roger Ver's odds of pardon to plummet | 29 janv. 2025 | 00:07:24 | |
Bitcoin's volatility has tapered since an explosive start to the week as analysts point to a strengthening correlation between BTC and the financial markets. The FOMC in the US is today and the FedWatch tool has the outcome at a 99.5% probability, so any deviation could reverberate through crypto. Also on Bitcoin, Poland has overtaken El Salvador for Bitcoin ATMs and the Czech National Bank will be discussing a strategic Bitcoin reserve of about $7.3 billion. Outside of Bitcoin, Bitwise filed with the SEC for a spot Dogecoin ETF and Roger Ver launched a social media campaign for a presidential pardon for his tax and mail fraud charges.

| Arizona Senate approves state Bitcoin reserve bill amid BTC price slip | 28 janv. 2025 | 00:07:15 | |
It was a bumpy start to the week for Bitcoin as the world’s largest cryptocurrency dropped 7% to briefly trade below $98,000 on Jan. 27 — its lowest level in 10 days. The sudden correction followed shockwaves from the viral Chinese AI platform DeepSeek, whose launch sent ripples through both crypto and tech markets. Despite the dip, analysts remain optimistic, citing a lack of panic selling as a sign of confidence among long-term holders. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy announced a bold new $2.5 million share offering to fund additional Bitcoin purchases, doubling down on its bullish strategy.

| Why Elon Musk wants to put government spending on a public blockchain | 27 janv. 2025 | 00:07:16 | |
It was a placid weekend for Bitcoin and most of crypto until yesterday afternoon, when there was a sudden spike in volatility caused by the viral Chinese AI app DeepSeek. This impacted stock futures and, in a growing correlation, BTC, which fell 5% in 24 hours to below $100,000. Nevertheless, most prominent traders aren’t concerned. Then, outside of Bitcoin, one debate stole the conversation this weekend: a report that Elon Musk is looking at utilizing blockchain technology to track and reduce government spending in the US. Could this move for transparency and accountability be a step forward? Alongside this discussion was a conversation around Coinbase’s token listing practices, with the exchange’s CEO pointing out that over 1 million new tokens are created every week. However, Tron’s Justin Sun believes the problems run deeper at Coinbase.

| Massive wins for crypto lost in disappointment of no US Bitcoin reserve announcement | 24 janv. 2025 | 00:07:24 | |
Yesterday saw volatility in Bitcoin that can be traced to peaks and troughs of hope and disappointment. So, in today’s episode, we’ll go through the announcements and executive orders from US agencies and President Donald Trump and why these ultimately disappointed crypto folks, even if they were overwhelmingly positive. Then we’ll look at the harrowing kidnapping of the Ledger co-founder in France and how the deceased cybersecurity developer John McAfee has been resurrected as an AI agent with a Web3 project.

| The Trump memecoin chaos: House Democrats call for ethics probe, lawyers predict lawsuits | 23 janv. 2025 | 00:07:26 | |
There is an air of uncertainty around the macroeconomic situation in the United States and it’s affecting crypto, but fortunately for the podcast, there are fascinating some stories unfolding. Firstly — and we all saw this coming — things are heating up around President Donald Trump’s memecoin launch, with House Democrats calling for an ethics probe and lawyers suggesting there are lawsuits in the pipeline. Then, at the World Economic Forum, the idea of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve is sparking debates as Cointelegraph’s managing editor probes the thoughts of the Coinbase CEO on stage. And finally, Solana hit an all-time high off the back of this weekend’s madness, but with a hefty correction since. What is needed for it to chase down that $300 target once again?

| The Trump era begins: SEC launches crypto task force led by 'Crypto Mom' Hester Peirce | 22 janv. 2025 | 00:07:42 | |
Bitcoin had a fairly quiet 24 hours as the market waited for US President Donald Trump to make an announcement. Still, flying under the radar were the spot Bitcoin ETFs, which racked up the best part of $2 billion of inflows in two trading days! Then, the SEC launched a crypto task force led by “Crypto Mom” Hester Peirce, Elon Musk’s DOGE agency launched its website with the Dogecoin logo, ETH struggled amid continued drama behind the scenes and then Trump officially pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.

| No mention of crypto on Trump’s first day! Are people overreacting? | 21 janv. 2025 | 00:07:04 | |
Bitcoin took a hit yesterday and we needn’t look far for the cause. Yesterday was, of course, the US Inauguration Day, and despite high hopes for President Donald Trump’s first day back in office and the executive orders he might sign, there was no mention of crypto. This outraged much of Crypto Twitter as some of Trump’s “day one” promises fell short. But are critics overreacting? Does Trump need to prove his intentions with crypto or are they well-established? In today’s episode, I’ll take you through what happened yesterday and what may be coming next.Further reading:

| TRUMP coin explained: The $15B memecoin that shook crypto and politics | 20 janv. 2025 | 00:08:01 | |
As the day of the US presidential inauguration dawned, Bitcoin hit an all-time high and pushed $110K, but this was eclipsed by the biggest story of the weekend: Donald Trump launched an official memecoin. That’s right, mere days before becoming US president once again, Trump launched a Solana-based memecoin, TRUMP, and it hit a market cap of $15 billion within 48 hours, breaching the top 15 cryptocurrencies. The move shocked people inside and outside of crypto, and we were left to wonder what it might mean for crypto taxes in the US, for regulations and even whether Trump might have violated the US Constitution. So, in today’s special episode, I break down the entire fiasco ahead of the inauguration.

| US Bitcoin reserve could include SOL, USDC and XRP, report claims | 17 janv. 2025 | 00:07:25 | |
Today’s episode concerns US politics, but I would like to point out two important details: Firstly, it’s far more interesting than it sounds, and secondly, we are in a crypto era that is dependent US politics whether we like it or not. So, to start, we’ll look at BTC cycle top predictions, before we move into a medley of stories about strategic Bitcoin reserves. Then we’ll look at Senator Cynthia Lummis, who claims that whistle-blowers have told her the FDIC has been destroying documents pertaining to Operation Chokepoint 2.0.

| US gov't says the more than $9B of BTC from 2016 hack should return to Bitfinex | 16 janv. 2025 | 00:07:37 | |
Bitcoin had a positive 24 hours, venturing above $100,000 a few times though it hasn’t stuck yet. Analysts seem skeptical about reclaiming the six-figure price tag and expect sideways action for some weeks, but will Trump’s inauguration change that? Elsewhere, the newly appointed US Senate Banking Committee chair said that a crypto framework will be a priority, the US government has said the funds from a 2016 hack should go back to Bitfinex, outraging some users, and according to a survey, 60% of crypto investors are young, educated and invest under $10K.

| Meta deletes links to decentralized competitors after committing to 'free expression' | 15 janv. 2025 | 00:07:39 | |
Bitcoin spent the past 24 hours with low volatility as it trades within a “narrowing triangle,” which may indicate that a breakout is close. The problem is, we don’t know which way that breakout will go and it may hinge on the FOMC meeting at the end of the month rather than on US President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week. Nevertheless, Trump’s re-entry into office could spark serious inflows into Bitcoin with an upper price target of $249,000 this year! This is also spurred on by the growing momentum of governments looking at Bitcoin reserves. Then, outside of Bitcoin, Meta commits to free speech before it starts blocking links to competitors, and the CryptoPunks floor price spikes 13% in just three hours after a rumor circulates.

| Court slams SEC over denying Coinbase request for crypto rules | 14 janv. 2025 | 00:07:24 | |
Volatility rushed back into Bitcoin in the past 24 hours, albeit mostly in the right direction as analysts predict whether BTC is headed for $70,000 — or not. One point for the latter might be Bitcoin exchange reserves hitting their lowest levels since 2018, which may cause a supply shock. Elsewhere, reports circulate that President-elect Donald Trump will sign executive orders pertaining to crypto on day one back in the Oval Office, an appellate court criticizes the SEC in the Coinbase case and Tether is moving its headquarters and subsidiaries to El Salvador!

| Could XRP be looking at a $4 price tag as Gensler leaves and Trump moves in? | 13 janv. 2025 | 00:07:34 | |
It was a fairly quiet weekend for Bitcoin (though it is getting louder as we move into Monday), but there is plenty to learn to prepare for this week, including Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy seemingly buying yet more Bitcoin. Outside of BTC, XRP may be looking at 60% gains ahead of Gensler's exit and Trump's entrance, Singapore blocks Polymarket over unlicensed gambling concerns and Wolf Capital co-founder pleads guilty to a $9.4 million Ponzi scheme that promised 547%

| Is crypto headed for a 'Banana Singularity,' where everything goes up? | 10 janv. 2025 | 00:07:38 | |
Bitcoin fell a little further yesterday, dipping below $92,000 before beginning its recovery. However, something ahead looms large: It seems the US government may try to sell $6.5 billion in BTC before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. What would that mean for Bitcoin’s price? Also on Bitcoin, a judge in Wales has thrown out the case of the missing hard drive with $770 million of BTC on it! Elsewhere, one crypto commentator with a good track record predicts altseason is around the corner, and an art gallery is the target of a class-action lawsuit over an NFT collection it sold.

| The $7B airdrop: How Hyperliquid set the standard with HYPE token | 09 janv. 2025 | 00:07:33 | |
It’s been another rough 24 hours for crypto with Bitcoin falling through that $95,000 support and raising questions about where it may stop. Some analysts have flagged as low as $73,000! Part of the downward pressure has been courtesy of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, which on Jan. 8 saw the second-highest daily outflow since they launched a year ago. Elsewhere, the outgoing CFTC chair discusses crypto in a final message, and the story of how decentralized exchange Hyperliquid created the best and most lucrative airdrop in crypto history.

| How a rise in job openings in the US caused Bitcoin's price to tank | 08 janv. 2025 | 00:07:17 | |
Dec. 7 was a tough day for Bitcoin, which shed more than $5,000 after the announcement of US job openings data. The reaction seemed a little confusing, so we’ll start today’s episode by unpacking that. Then, we’ll look at a bullish stance on driving BTC to new heights in 2025, before moving on to a landmark tax case in which a Texan is ordered to hand over his private keys and seed phrases. Finally, we’ll see how a trader turned $2,000 into $3.2 million in just 10 hours, and it wasn’t with a memecoin!

| Is the crypto bull market entering its final stage? | 07 janv. 2025 | 00:07:35 | |
Bitcoin blasted back into the six-figure price range on Dec. 6 and US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a near-billion dollar day of inflows. Still, is the bull market entering its final stage, as one CryptoQuant contributor predicts? And what might a post-bull market look like? JPMorgan wrote in a recent investor note that the Bitcoin debasement trade is here to stay, after all. Finally, we’ll look at Federal Reserve Bank regulator Michael Barr stepping down and how the crypto industry

| 'Dogecoin will finally hit $1' in 2025 as whales go on buying frenzy | 06 janv. 2025 | 00:07:07 | |
Happy New Year and welcome back to the Rise’n’Crypto podcast! It’s going to be a massive 2025 for crypto and we’re off to a strong start. Despite a clear absence of retail investors since the holidays, BTC’s price is performing well. That may be due to spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, which had almost a billion dollars of inflows on Friday! Elsewhere, the “Trump Effect” is already visible with Ripple moving 75% of its job openings to the US and Dogecoin pumping as whales buy huge amounts of the original memecoin. So, grab yourself a coffee and let’s get into it!

| Bitcoin social sentiment drops to lowest levels of year: Here's why that's bullish | 23 déc. 2024 | 00:07:15 | |
Despite an underwhelming weekend for Bitcoin and crypto, it's a busy episode today. First, we'll keep up with the tradition of sharing William Suberg's "5 things to know in Bitcoin this week," before unpacking his fifth point about social sentiment. That is, social sentiment around Bitcoin has dropped to its lowest levels of the year, yet that's bullish! Also bullish, MicroStrategy has surpassed the amount of BTC purchased in the past bull run, despite a markedly higher average price per coin. Outside of Bitcoin, Trump has nominated Stephen Miran as Council of Economic Advisors chair; Miran was on a crypto podcast earlier this month. Interpol issues a Red Notice for Hex founder Richard Heart, and Haliey Welch, known for Hawk Tuah, speaks for the first time about the legal case against the HAWK memecoin.

| $1B liquidated in 24-hour crypto bloodbath, but should you panic? | 20 déc. 2024 | 00:07:16 | |
The past 24 hours have been an absolute crypto bloodbath. More than $1 billion of long positions were liquidated when prices tanked and traders were "unprepared for the bad news." Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw record one-day outflows. So, why are most analysts calm and even positive? Aside from the chaos, the proposal to increase the Ethereum gas limit picks up steam, Craig Wright gets a one-year prison sentence suspended for two years for contempt of court, and the Tornado Cash co-founder wants his charges dropped following a verdict that OFAC "overstepped!" Yes, it's a busy episode today!

| 'No guarantee' Bitcoin 21M supply cap is truly fixed says BlackRock disclaimer | 19 déc. 2024 | 00:07:10 | |
Crypto, along with S&P 500, took a big hit yesterday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell made some unexpected announcements. Bitcoin briefly lost its six-figure price tag, but it bounced back and many are pointing out how commonplace this sort of pullback is. Perhaps the loudest conversation about Bitcoin was the disclaimer in a BlackRock video explanation of Bitcoin that re-ignited an old debate about BTC's supply cap. Also, a South Korean lawmaker may go to prison over allegations of hiding millions in crypto holdings while working on legislation concerning crypto!

| Trump meets Crypto.com CEO, firm drops SEC lawsuit the same day | 18 déc. 2024 | 00:07:22 | |
Bitcoin finally took a breather after a rocket-fueled weekend and early week, falling back a few percent. Still, one fascinating story that emerged was that US Bitcoin ETFs flipped US gold ETFs by assets under management. Elsewhere, President-elect Donald Trump met with the Crypto.com CEO and the exchange dropped its lawsuit against the SEC on the same day. Then, Pudgy Penguins launched its token, which encountered heavy volatility alongside the NFT collection's floor price, but the short-term numbers did not tell the full story.

| 107 whale wallets hold 57% of all existing ETH: Is that bullish or bearish? | 17 déc. 2024 | 00:07:14 | |
Bitcoin had such a strong weekend and weekly close that it set us up for some beautiful green charts, and that's exactly what we've got. With another new all-time high on Dec. 16, spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US raking in the inflows and spot volumes on exchanges surging, things look strongly bullish for BTC. As a consequence, Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy entered the Nasdaq 100 index, which has had a number of fascinating knock-on effects. Elsewhere, Ethereum's token distribution is unusual and changing quickly, and the 2022 LastPass data breach is still biting crypto victims who haven't moved their funds.

| If Trump makes Bitcoin a US reserve asset on 'day one', how high will BTC soar? | 16 déc. 2024 | 00:07:20 | |
Friday's episode was a little low on Bitcoin stories, but fear not, the weekend has given us a smorgasbord! BTC secured its highest-ever weekly close amid discussions about President-elect Donald Trump making Bitcoin a United States reserve asset on 'day one' in office. If that happens, what sort of price might Bitcoin reach? Well, there is quite a range of predictions. Then, after we're fully caught up on all things Bitcoin, I'll take you through the most viral story of the weekend: the memecoin trader who turned $27 into $52 million with PEPE.

| Is this 'patient zero' for the gaslighting about Bitcoin's environmental impact? | 13 déc. 2024 | 00:07:59 | |
Bitcoin had another fairly quiet day while retaining its six-figure price tag, but there is plenty to discuss besides price. Perhaps most interesting is a thread by the Bitcoin environmentalist, Daniel Batten, who claims he found "patient zero" for Bitcoin environmental impact misinformation. Then, we're going to look at Coinbase delisting Tether's USDT stablecoin in Europe, an early Bitcoin investor going to jail over unreported crypto gains, and Solana taking the crown for the top ecosystem by the number of new developers.

| Bitcoin glides to a record daily close as lawyers look at memecoins | 12 déc. 2024 | 00:07:36 | |
While Bitcoin had a quiet day in many ways, it managed to move back into a six-figure price tag and secure a record daily close. Now, with US macroeconomics playing ball and the crypto market said to be more stable, all eyes are looking for a new all-time high in the coming days, according to one analyst. Outside of Bitcoin, Roger Ver talks to Tucker Carlson and claims that the US is targeting him for his advocacy of cryptocurrencies rather than his taxes, the US Supreme Court denies Nvidia's appeal to dismiss a crypto class-action lawsuit and Cointelegraph speaks with legal experts about the consequences of shilling memecoins.

| Bitwise predictions for 2025 suggest crypto is in for a monumental year | 11 déc. 2024 | 00:07:37 | |
Bitcoin had another tumultuous day, crashing again into the $94,000 range, but has the week's rough start been the necessary clear-out the market needs to push forward? Also, on Bitcoin, Microsoft shareholders voted "no" to adding Bitcoin to its treasury, and Ray Dalio warned of a global debt crisis but sees Bitcoin as part of the safe haven. Then, the NY regulator approved Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin, and Bitwise predicted 2025 will be the "year of the crypto IPO," followed by some other eyebrow-raising events! So, grab yourself a coffee and let's get you caught up.

| The Bitcoin arms race: CZ says it's 'inevitable' China builds BTC reserve | 10 déc. 2024 | 00:07:19 | |
Bitcoin saw another brutal correction with cascading liquidations and a "mega dump" yesterday. About $1.6 billion was liquidated across crypto in this "crazy" reset and 11% was lost from crypto's market cap — What happened? In more bullish Bitcoin news, CZ said that it's "inevitable" that China will build a BTC reserve. Elsewhere, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse slammed the show 60 Minutes for omitting information in a crypto segment in which he appeared, and Google's new quantum computing chip solved a 30-year-old problem, but does it pose a threat to crypto encryption?

| Is Ethereum gearing up for a parabolic breakout? | 09 déc. 2024 | 00:07:34 | |
Bitcoin secured its first weekly close above $100K before dabbling in some volatility to start this week, and as always, we'll take a look at William Suberg's "5 things to know in Bitcoin this week" article to get up to speed. Additionally, while on Bitcoin, we'll look at the NCPPR pushing another Bitcoin treasury proposal, this time at Amazon. Then it's time for a comprehensive lay of the land with altseason; some argue it has started, some say it's about to get ugly and some are trying to draw our attention to Ethereum, which is showing green flags left and right.

| Hawk Tuah memecoin dumps 90% amidst accusations of insiders and snipers | 06 déc. 2024 | 00:07:12 | |
Bitcoin scared holders half to death on Dec. 5 as it plummeted $6,000 in four minutes, liquidating $300 million in long positions. Still, most analysts appeared to be counseling calm while whales of all varieties bought the dip. Then, we need to look at the effects of adding BTC to a company's treasury, Kraken's survey of crypto holders and the controversy around Haliey Welch's memecoin launch which dumped 90% amid some unusual on-chain data.

| BlackRock, Trump and $100K Bitcoin: What finally boosted it through the ceiling | 05 déc. 2024 | 00:07:28 | |
Bitcoin reached the hallowed heights of a six-figure USD price! After an enormous surge in the past 24 hours, BTC roared as high as $104K, leaving observers to decipher what pushed it over the crest, as well as how it got so far in this cycle. Still, the episode isn't all Bitcoin: Ripple's $RLUSD stablecoin was delayed, but it's coming soon with the intention of being an institutional choice, so we'll examine what you need to know about it. Then, Aptos co-founder Avery Ching discussed why consent for AI training may be a "perfect use case" for blockchain.

| Bitcoin would need to crash below $20K to seriously harm MicroStrategy's treasury | 04 déc. 2024 | 00:07:33 | |
The past 24 hours have been quiet for Bitcoin as whales are said to have re-entered a "wait-and-see" period. Well, that is apart from a Bitcoin price flash crash seen in South Korea following the president declaring martial law! While on Bitcoin, we'll look at recent research on MicroStrategy's financial situation and how its huge exposure to BTC is far more sensible than people might have you believe. Finally, we'll go through two stories pertaining to the SEC: the odds of Paul Atkins being the new chair spiking to 93% on Kalshi and Grayscale filing for a spot Solana ETF!

| Is the US government making a 'huge strategic mistake' selling Bitcoin? | 03 déc. 2024 | 00:07:11 | |
Bitcoin had a quiet start to the week after a historic monthly close, but only when it came to price action. Beyond that, plenty is happening. The big talking point of the past 24 hours is the US government moving almost 20,000 BTC to Coinbase Prime and possibly selling a portion of it. This drew criticism and reignited a debate over whether the US should be selling any Bitcoin. Also, while on Bitcoin, Michael Saylor delivered his pitch to the Microsoft board and shared the video and the pitch deck. Finally, the co-creator of Meta's stablecoin project, Diem, opens up about how it didn't just die, it was killed.

| Has altseason started? It has for Grayscale! | 02 déc. 2024 | 00:07:21 | |
Bitcoin closed out its biggest-ever monthly USD gains at more than $26,000, yet the signs say the market is not overheated. In fact, some technical indicators suggest we're readying for a sizeable rally. Outside of Bitcoin, things may be even more interesting. NFTs continue their ascent in monthly sales volume as the floor for some blue chip collections elevates as well. Then there is the renewed discussion over altseason, as tokens like XRP and XLM have gone parabolic in the past 30 days, enriching Grayscale's robust portfolio.

| Bitcoin whales enjoy $1.5B feast on price dip before market recovers | 29 nov. 2024 | 00:07:15 | |
Bitcoin's continued recovery in the past 24 hours has given analysts and traders cause to look behind the curtain of the market. It seems that Bitcoin whales aggressively took advantage of the panic-selling we saw when Bitcoin fell close to $90,000, scooping up $1.5 billion worth. Also on Bitcoin, the Cardano founder said Bitcoin DeFi will eclipse the rest of crypto DeFi within the next few years, helping propel the price ever higher. Elsewhere, open interest for Ethereum has been growing rapidly, overtaking Bitcoin by a decent margin, which may hint at a $4,000 price tag some day soon, and an ex-Binance employee sued the UK arm of the exchange for unfair dismissal while alleging bribery.

| Buying Bitcoin in 2013 was like buying 'gold in 1,000 BC' — Pantera's 130,000% returns | 28 nov. 2024 | 00:07:52 | |
The Bitcoin slump didn't last long! After sliding to $90K on Nov. 26, the past 24 hours have been more positive and there are signs we've seen the local bottom. As Bitcoin approaches that hallowed six-figure price tag, many portfolios are way up, and Pantera Capital's rivals any of them, as shown in a blog post by its CEO. Elsewhere, Tether discontinued support for the EURt stablecoin and we ask a MiCA expert why, Vancouver wants to become a "Bitcoin-friendly city," and a memecoin trader turns $160 into $5.6 million with a viral token.

| Who is behind the $2B of daily Bitcoin profit-taking? | 27 nov. 2024 | 00:07:49 | |
It has been a tumultuous 24 hours for Bitcoin, which nearly dropped out of the $90K range as long-term holders took huge profits. But, it seems, primarily "long-term holders" in a technical sense, as the real veterans are as diamond-handed as ever. And for good reason, because it seems the recent correction has not done much damage to Bitcoin's odds of a $100K price tag before 2025. Outside of BTC, we look at Binance delisting five tokens and sending them tumbling, Brazil considering a Bitcoin reserve and Tornado Cash getting a court victory in the US.

| Is Pump.fun's memecoin chaos going to result in a sea of criminal charges? | 26 nov. 2024 | 00:07:18 | |
The past 24 hours have not been pleasant for Bitcoin, seeing its value fall $5,000 over the course of the Nov. 25 daily candle as well as the biggest day of spot Bitcoin ETF outflows since the US election. The focus has shifted to the local floor and what will happen if the price drops below it. On the more positive side, MicroStrategy continues to stack the sats with another $5.4B purchase of Bitcoin! Elsewhere, Pump.fun's memecoin "freak show" may lead to criminal charges according to some legal experts, and Dogecoin futures open interest hits an all-time high, but is that good or bad for the price?

| Is Satoshi the '2010 megawhale' that is still actively selling Bitcoin? | 25 nov. 2024 | 00:07:48 | |
The weekend didn't bring the anticipated $100K price tag for Bitcoin. In fact, we saw a retracement as we neared the weekly close. This caused some heavy liquidations in the space, particularly with altcoins, but the dawn of a new week has (so far) returned us to that chase for the elusive six-figure price tag. While on Bitcoin, a team of researchers suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto didn't go dormant and that he's been strategically selling from old wallets since 2019. Also, Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) has been going through a difficult period as it was delisted from Coinbase and then experienced a flash crash on Binance! Finally, we'll look at the latest update on the seminal Alexey Pertsev and Tornado Cash case.

| Solana hits all-time high, SEC Chair Gary Gensler resigns, BTC's 'violent breakout' | 22 nov. 2024 | 00:07:08 | |
The past 24 hours saw Bitcoin come within spitting distance of the $100K milestone, continuing one of the best Novembers on record while attracting short positions that may risk a "violent breakout." But don't be fooled: Bitcoin isn't the only thing worth your attention. United States SEC Chair Gary Gensler resigned ahead of President-elect Donald Trump taking office in January, and the SEC's broker-dealer rule was tossed by a US court. Also, the UK — not wanting to be left behind — promised a crypto regulatory framework by early next year. And finally, Solana hits new all-time highs in one of the greatest redemption arcs in crypto's history.

| The perfect storm for Bitcoin, the Coinbase scammer making 5 figures per week | 21 nov. 2024 | 00:07:26 | |
Bitcoin has been highly volatile in the past 24 hours, particularly on the back nine, but very much in crypto's favor as it chases a six-figure price tag. So, to start with, I'll take you through some of the reasons for the momentum, what's going on behind the scenes of the markets and what might happen if and when the $100K threshold is breached. Outside of Bitcoin, Trump considers a dedicated crypto post within the White House, Japan looks to overhaul its "nebulous and variable" crypto taxes, and a Coinbase scammer who claims to make five figures per week from his exploits chats with a potential victim.

| BlackRock Bitcoin ETF options trade $1.9B on day one, California judge's massive ruling for DAO users | 20 nov. 2024 | 00:07:38 | |
Bitcoin enjoyed another brief stint in price discovery, setting a new peak of $94,105 according to Coinbase. This was seemingly propelled — at least in part — by the first day of trading options contracts on BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, which saw an "unheard of" $1.9 billion! Outside of Bitcoin, there were other important crypto developments in the past 24 hours. A California judge ruled that under partnership laws, DAO members can be liable for the DAO and other members' actions, Donald Trump chose crypto-friendly Howard Lutnick as secretary of commerce, and Ethereum DApp volume saw strong 30-day growth, but will the price follow?

| Bitcoin's Puell Multiple hints at 90% price rally, ‘I put most of my wealth into Bitcoin' — RFK Jr. | 19 nov. 2024 | 00:07:46 | |
Naturally, we're in a busy period for Bitcoin as it chases yet another all-time high, so there is a lot to catch you up on. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he put most of his wealth into Bitcoin alongside buying two BTC for every one of his seven children, MicroStrategy buys $4.6B billion more Bitcoin and is raising funds for another $1.75 billion purchase, while the Puell Multiple is approaching a score that often precedes a price rally of about 90%. Elsewhere, Goldman Sachs is turning its crypto platform into a standalone company and the crypto world feels a little uneasy about Binance's BFUSD offering.

| Bitcoin's best-ever weekly close, Trump to take DeFi mainstream, NFTs and memecoin frenzy | 18 nov. 2024 | 00:07:46 | |
The weekend might have seen Bitcoin dip into the $80K range a few times but it still secured the best weekly close on record and started Monday morning strong. So, to start today's episode I'll run down what you need to know about Bitcoin this week, then we'll move on to the wider crypto ecosystem. First up is the thought that Trump's policies may send DeFi mainstream, then the surge in NFT sales, and finally, how Solana-based DApps are raking in fees as memecoin demand returns to its former glory.

| Bitcoin to hit 'repeated all-time highs,' 18 US states file lawsuit against SEC and Gensler | 15 nov. 2024 | 00:07:16 | |
A wild 24 hours just unfolded and Bitcoin's 3% dip doesn't even make the list. Nevertheless, we'll start with a breakdown of why Bitcoin corrected yesterday before looking at comments made by VanEck's head of digital assets research on CNBC, as he says we're headed for "repeated all-time highs" over the next two quarters. Then, things have heated up with the SEC and its chair, Gary Gensler. Yesterday, Gensler doubled down on his crypto stance despite President-elect Donald Trump threatening to fire him (though we still don't know if that's a legal possibility.) Then, 18 US states filed a lawsuit against the SEC and Gensler for “gross government overreach” against the crypto industry. Finally, we spoke with the Consensys CEO about the situation and he says the SEC's cases against crypto firms are going to be "dismissed or settled."
