About this listen

We have one goal: to make sense of what actually moved markets this week and lay out what it means for tomorrow, for you. 
 Digital Asset Digest is meant to pay homage to a fundamental principle crypto markets thrive on - Volatility. For traders, it is their lifeblood. But what actually drives this fundamental shift in markets, every single day? That is what we want to help our DeFi traders figure out. From macro policy shifts to obscure governance votes, our job becomes to surface signals others miss and tell you why they matter.Chris and Marine ~ MC² Finance Politics & Government

  • DaD Talks: Meet the True Cross-Chain Experience | Solana x Ethereum
    Jul 16 2025

    Solana on Ethereum? Not quite, but MC² Finance just made it feel real. In this special announcement episode we unpack how Swig SDK turns your MetaMask into a Solana super‑wallet. No Phantom installs, no SOL in your pocket, no risky bridges. A smart wallet spins up on Solana, a paymaster covers gas in USDC, and session keys sign everything behind the scenes. The result: trade SOL tokens, mint NFTs, or chase memecoins straight from Ethereum in one tap.


    We reveal the tech, the security proofs, and what intent‑based trading means for the next wave of DeFi UX. We also quantify the friction Swig erases: 4 fewer onboarding steps, 70 % drop‑off reclaimed, and zero bridge attack surface. If you care about speed, safety, and a single wallet future, press play. Solana speed meets Ethereum liquidity today. Bring your ETH. Leave the headaches. It ships live in the MC² app.

  • Week 12: What made DeFi move? | Fireworks, Parades & Oranges
    Jul 15 2025

    This twelfth episode of DAD: Digital Asset Digest captures a fireworks-filled week across crypto where Bitcoin broke $110K, Solana secured its first ETF, and DeFi served up drama worthy of a Netflix series.

    Our hosts unpack Bitcoin’s July breakout to $110,300, driven by over $5.6 billion in ETF inflows and momentum from Trump’s crypto tax proposals. The spotlight then shifts to the historic REX-Osprey Solana ETF launch, boasting 7.3% staking yield and $12M AUM on day one. We also dive into Circle’s stablecoin revolution, the GENIUS Act’s landslide Senate passage, and Polygon’s explosive $170M DeFi launch with Katana.

    But not all fireworks were celebratory. With $2.5B in crypto hacks in just H1 2025, security is under the microscope. We close with key market insights, alpha picks (BTC, ETH, SOL, MATIC, USDC), and reflections on what this week tells us about the maturity and fragility of crypto’s next chapter.

  • Week 11: What made DeFi move? | Memes, Saylor & Aptos
    Jul 3 2025

    This eleventh episode of DAD: Digital Asset Digest dives headfirst into one of the most unpredictable weeks of 2025 where meme coins, macro players, and regulatory chess moves collided in spectacular fashion.


    Our hosts open with Bitcoin’s wild ride between $96K and $107K, unpacking Michael Saylor’s latest 4,980 BTC purchase and what it signals for institutional conviction. We then turn to Trump’s headline-grabbing “American Bitcoin” project, which raised $220M, stirring debate about legitimacy, political optics, and market influence. The discussion shifts to Circle’s bold push into full-service banking, Aptos Labs’ regulatory milestone at the CFTC, and how these moves blur the line between crypto-native and traditional finance.


    We close by tracking Ethereum’s rebound toward $2,567, Solana’s quiet strength in the $119–$151 band, and XRP’s steady post-litigation climb before wrapping with our weekly alpha picks and a pragmatic take on what’s signal vs. noise in today’s market.
