Crypto Curious

This week feels like one of those episodes where you can genuinely feel the crypto industry shifting under the surface. 👉🏼 First up, billionaire investor and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban has revealed he sold around 80% of his Bitcoin holdings, calling the asset “a disappointment” and saying it’s drifted away from its original purpose. We unpack why he said it, whether he’s wrong, and why the comme...

Joining Blake and Tracey this week is a very special guest — Kate Cooper, CEO of OKX Australia . Kate’s spent more than a decade across media, financial services, and digital assets, and has become one of the most respected voices in the Australian crypto industry.

I’m Blake, and this week we’re joined by crypto educator and coach Will Wright — better known online as @cryptocoachwill — who’s built a strong following helping everyday people actually understand this space, instead of just chasing headlines and memes. And honestly… this week feels like one of those moments where crypto starts looking a lot more mature than people expected. Bitcoin has just had...

This week… crypto feels like it’s being pulled in three completely different directions at once. 👉🏼 We’re starting with Meta — yes, Meta — quietly stepping back into crypto, four years after the Libra collapse. This time, it’s not a grand announcement or a new coin… it’s stablecoin payments to creators, flying a lot lower under the radar — and surprisingly, regulators aren’t pushing back. 👉🏼 T...

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast brought to you by the Bamboo App - the easiest way to start investing small amounts in crypto! 👉🏼 This week we’re kicking off with Bitcoin, which is quietly putting together its strongest month in over a year, up 13% in April. After everything we’ve seen over the past few months, the question now is: what’s actually driving this move, and is it sustaina...

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast! This week… it feels like crypto just stress-tested itself — and not everything held up. 👉🏼 We’re starting with the biggest hack of 2026 so far — a single exploit that drained $292 million from Kelp DAO, froze parts of Aave, and triggered a $5.4 billion run across DeFi. This wasn’t just a bad day… it exposed how quickly confidence can disappear when ris...

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast! Trace is away this week, so we have Blake and Jonno Newman from TRM Labs on the mic. 👉🏼 This week is one of those weeks where crypto is colliding with the real world in a big way: geopolitics, global finance, and regulation all hitting at once. 👉🏼 We start in the Middle East, where tensions around one of the world’s most important shipping routes hav...

This week, crypto didn’t just move… it reacted . 👉🏼 A potential ceasefire sent markets flying — then reality tapped everyone back on the shoulder. 👉🏼 A $285 million “April Fool’s joke” turned out to be anything but funny. 👉🏼 And just when you thought things couldn’t get more futuristic… Google entered the chat with a warning that could rewrite crypto as we know it. From global politics to bi...

This week’s episode is all about power — who has it, who’s fighting for it, and how it’s reshaping the future of crypto. We 👉🏼 We start in the US, where one of the most important pieces of crypto legislation — the CLARITY Act — is now at risk of falling apart. Not because the industry disagrees on the big picture, but because of one very specific battleground: stablecoin yield. And at the centre...

By the end of the weekend, we were back below $69K, all triggered by a single geopolitical curveball. A post from Donald Trump on Truth Social referencing Iran was enough to rattle global markets, and with a key deadline expiring today, the uncertainty isn’t exactly behind us. But while prices were reacting in real time, regulators were doing something far more deliberate. In a move that could res...

This week feels like one of those moments where crypto takes another step toward the mainstream while still attracting just as much criticism as ever. 👉🏼 We start with BlackRock, which has just launched a new kind of crypto ETF — one that actually pays investors to hold it. It’s a major shift in how these products work, and a signal that traditional finance isn’t just entering crypto… it’s start...

This week’s episode is all about a shift in power, from institutions stepping further into crypto, to global markets reminding us why Bitcoin exists in the first place. 👉🏼 First up, Wall Street makes another serious move into the industry. The New York Stock Exchange has taken a stake in a crypto exchange, while Kraken has just secured something even more surprising — access to a Federal Reserve...

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast — brought to you by the Bamboo App . I’m Tracey, and as always, I’m joined by Blake. This week feels like a stress test for the entire space. 👉🏼 Bitcoin dumped to $65,000 in the middle of a macro storm — tariffs, inflation data, no rate cuts — and instead of blaming the economy, crypto Twitter decided a Wall Street trading giant was secretly nuking the...

With an impressive background coming from roles at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management (VP Strategy) & Venmo (Head of Business Operations), to eToro USA (launched their regulated crypto trading platform in the US); Hassan then ran GoTo Group (dual role as CEO of Coins.ph in the Philippines and SVP Strategy...

Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, brought to you weekly by the Bamboo App . This week we’re looking at how power in crypto is shifting, from social platforms to billionaire investors, to policymakers. 👉🏼 First up, Elon Musk is turning X into something that looks a lot like a live trading terminal — with crypto and stocks embedded directly into your feed. What happens when speculation sits i...

I’m Tracey, and this week feels like one of those defining moments where crypto shows its true colours. 👉🏼 Bitcoin has just had one of its most brutal weeks in years — billions liquidated, sentiment crushed, and a lot of newer investors getting a very real lesson in volatility. We unpack what actually happened, who got wiped out, and why long-term holders are quietly doing the opposite of panick...

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast — brought to you by the Bamboo App . We'll get straight into it - this week’s episode is all about conviction — who really has it, who thinks they do, and what happens when the market pushes back. 👉🏼 We start with Bitcoin sliding lower as markets react to Donald Trump’s pick for the next US Federal Reserve Chair, and why macro and liquidity still matter...

On this week’s Crypto Curious podcast, we break down three stories that say a lot about where the market is right now: speculation, security, and what’s coming next. Here’s what we cover: 👉🏼 How the meme coin PENGUIN rocketed to a $170M market cap — and what that says about attention, narratives, and timing 👉🏼 The first major protocol hack of 2026 , with Truebit losing $26M , and why security...

Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast — brought to you by the Bamboo App. I’m Tracey, and this week we’re looking at a set of stories that all point to one big shift: crypto adoption isn’t coming from where people expected. 👉🏼 We start with a $200 million Ethereum-backed bet on MrBeast — not a token launch, not an ad deal, but a signal that creators and distribution may matter more than exchange...

This week we’re looking at a set of stories that all circle the same uncomfortable question: who really has the power in crypto right now? 👉🏼 We start with a Trump-backed Bitcoin mining company that’s seen a brutal sell-off — followed by insider buying that’s raising eyebrows and forcing investors to think about confidence, optics, and political branding in crypto equities. 👉🏼 Then we turn to...

Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, and our first episode for the year! I’m Tracey, and today Blake and I are unpacking a week that feels quietly important as we settle into 2026. 👉🏼 We’re starting with the return of ETF inflows into Bitcoin — not in a euphoric rush, but in a much calmer, more deliberate way. We’ll talk about what that says about market maturity, and why this may matter more...

I’m Tracey and joining me in the hot seat are Blake and Craig Jackson for our end-of-year wrap.

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast! 👉🏼 This week, we’re kicking things off with one of the wildest Bitcoin stories we’ve heard in a while: a solo hobby miner who beat million-to-one odds and walked away with more than $266,000 USD in BTC. 👉🏼 We then shift gears into big industry news — Kraken’s new $20B valuation and their confidential filing for a U.S. IPO, a major signal that crypto...
