My name's Tracey, & this week I'm flying solo with Blake while Craig enjoys one last week off.

This week on Crypto Curious, we're diving into the shiny new Bitcoin-back credit card from Coinbase. Yes, its metal, it’s got perks, and it’s the first of its kind on the Amex network.

Plus, crypto gets a glow-up in 2025 as new data shows it’s not just for bros and Lambos anymore. The space is growing up, and so are the people using it.

We're also checking in on the DECA conference, unpacking Trump’s crypto playbook, as we round it all out with our Short Sharp News Bites — kidnappings, stablecoins, and a whole lot of regulatory tea.

Let’s get into it 🚀

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious. This week it's just Trace & Blake, as Craig is sunning himself in Europe! But we have two mega stories to cover along with a raft of killer short, sharp news bites.

The Bitcoin community is buzzing as Ross Ulbricht—yes, that Ross from Silk Road—makes a dramatic return to the spotlight. We’ll unpack the surprising wave of support he’s getting.

And then, the jaw-dropping story of James Wynn: the trader who turned $100 million into just $23… live, in front of the entire crypto world.

Stick around—this one’s wild.
