About this listen

 In this episode, we break down a pivotal moment for digital assets where market momentum, regulation, and Wall Street finally collide. We start with the charts, unpacking Bitcoin’s powerful rebound back toward the $100,000 level after a bruising stretch of volatility. You’ll hear how sentiment flipped from fear to cautious optimism, what’s driving renewed risk appetite, and whether this rally looks like the start of a new leg higher—or just another bear market trap. From there, we zoom in on the institutional front, where long-awaited shifts are finally materializing. We discuss Vanguard’s move to open its doors to crypto ETFs on its platform and what that means for mainstream adoption, retirement accounts, and long-term capital flows. We also look at major US banks running stablecoin and crypto pilot programs in partnership with Coinbase, signaling that traditional finance is no longer sitting on the sidelines. On the technology and altcoin side, we cover the successful Ethereum Fusaka upgrade and how its scalability improvements could change user experience, DeFi, and on-chain activity. We then dissect the flood of capital into Spot XRP ETFs, which are racing toward the $1 billion inflow mark, and explore why institutional investors are suddenly paying attention to XRP’s narrative again. But it’s not all winners. The episode also examines MicroStrategy’s financial challenges in the wake of the recent correction, including the pressure on its share price and the risk of being removed from the MSCI index. We explore what that means for its bold Bitcoin-as-treasury strategy and for other corporates considering similar moves. Finally, we connect the macro dots. With the UK formally recognizing digital assets as property in new legislation, we look at how legal clarity might shape global crypto regulation. And we break down the US Federal Reserve’s quiet end to Quantitative Tightening (QT), discussing how liquidity, interest rates, and central bank policy are feeding into the latest crypto rally. If you want a clear, big-picture walkthrough of why crypto is suddenly back in the spotlight—and what might come next—this episode has you covered.
