An overview of the rapid growth of Bitcoin Strategic Reserves. A short discussion about contagion risk from the growing number of corporates putting BTC on balance sheet.

We are on the cusp of new crypto spot ETFs being launched on a range of cryptos that will include in-kind redemptions and staking, which is all very exciting.

A crypto reserve SPAC could be an interesting investment opportunity for some. The race to be the next Mayor of NYC has opened a crypto divide which we want settled in our favour.

Coinbase is a winner. Chainlink may well prove to be one too, as it helps drive the onboarding of potentially billions of new retail crypto investors.

Interregnum, and a serious one at that. Peter Schiff has shifted. Texas will have its own strategic BTC reserve.

Central bankers – I mean, wtf? Revolut shows TradFi the only way forward.

BBVA is in tune with the CCC. Trump wants GENIUS on his desk. HYPE as a treasury reserve, are you sure?

Yet more stablecoin action. Despite his best efforts otherwise, Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, just can’t get his own way, and we all need to be grateful for that.

Not for the first time we learn that UK politicians of any and all stripes are basically rubbish. Stablecoins continue to dominate the news. A lovely bit of fun with a BTC price prediction.

Stablecoins left, right, and centre. The existential threat to humankind posed by quantum computers just got a whole lot more urgent.

Stablecoins are destined to be the beating heart of TradFi. Coinbase might become the beating heart of CryptoFi.

GENIUS gets an overwhelming vote, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get more debate and more votes. Ukraine is heading in the right direction, but Connecticut sure ain’t.

The fifth and final Crypto Task Force took place on the topic of DeFi. Spot SOL ETFs look to be nailed on, but the timing is uncertain.

The CCC is back, you lucky people. I am going to try very hard once again to banish a bugbear of mine, constantly parroted by those of little knowledge or understanding. There is a risk in Strategy’s strategy, but it is not the one you think it is.

The Circle IPO was an unalloyed success. US debt threatens to spiral out of control.

Circle has a license to print money, and now all investors get a chance to participate. Hong Kong points the way forward for the Chinese embrace of cryptos.

Well, well, well, it’s the UK again, to everyone’s collective surprise. GENIUS comes back for a final debate and a vote.

Individual’s US pension plans can now invest in BTC. Perhaps the UK is about to abandon its long-held scepticism and start to embrace the crypto revolution. Let us hope so.

The SEC retreats further from its previous role as guardian of the reign of terror against cryptos in the US. The CLARITY Act of 2025 aims to bring, well, clarity to crypto regulation in the US.

This is going to shock you – the UK is warming, ever so slightly, towards cryptos. I know, I am struggling to believe it myself. We should take a look at Pakistan, which is providing inspirational crypto leadership to other nations, but we won’t.

ETH is being adopted as a Treasury reserve asset, helping to fuel its recent near-doubling from local lows. A techie proves himself a fantasist. El Salvador fights the good fight against the IMF.

Two vocal BTC-sceptics cannot hold back from embracing the crypto revolution.

H100 AB Group joins the ever-growing list of companies putting BTC on balance sheet. Expect more to follow and soon. An insightful resource comes in very handy.

BTC is poised to grow as its own asset class. Bitwise, though admittedly far from being impartial, provides some forecasts and commentary that perhaps we all need to think about in more depth.

Don’t believe the hype about the Banana Zone. Stablecoins are set for a major impetus. Trump’s Tariff Wars are back, allowing me to indulge one of my favourite pastimes, having a dig at one of my favourite bogeymen, for the first time in what feels like simply ages.

24.05.2025 06:29 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

You should dampen your expectations for the banana zone in the very near future. Or, perhaps not?

FIFA is an embarrassment, but its ruthless urgency of forever pumping its own executives’ bags bodes well for the crypto industry.

To celebrate a new ALL TIME HIGH just shy of $111k, today just happens to be BTC pizza day, a heart-warming story that is always worth revisiting.

One day, we will have breached $100k to the upside for the last time, to never see $99k again. Has that day been and gone?

β‚Ώapps are a thing. New York is potentially undergoing a seismic shift in favour of cryptos, nearly four years later than promised.

GENIUS passes another hurdle on its way to the statute book. The SEC is stepping up to facilitate the crypto revolution.
