Today we welcome Tracey & Craig back to the mic whilst Blake is at a Crypto convention in Brussels. We start with a little market talk and we do some personal reminiscing of market dips past. We'll dive straight into Bitcoin's wild ride as the German government shifts $75 million to exchanges, causing major market jitters and reintroduce you to the concept of the 'Fear & Greed Index' and how to use it to your advantage. We circle back on Friend.tech and their latest tweet that's stirring up the crypto community and unpack Donald Trump's bold idea of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.


Get ready for a lively discussion on the latest shocks and speculations in the crypto world!

🎙️ Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast – your weekly crypto crash course!


This week, Blake and I are broadcasting from our Perth studio while Craig hosts from Sydney with a very special guest, Jeff Yew. Jeff is a well-known figure in the Australian crypto scene and the founder and CEO of Monochrome Corporation, a multi-investment, crypto-asset financial services company. The Monochrome Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: IBTC) is Australia's first and only ETF to hold bitcoin directly, and was recently authorised under ASIC’s retail crypto-asset licensing category. Jeff has been involved in the crypto-asset markets since 2013, and we're thrilled to have him on the show.


Join us as we dive into Jeff's journey into crypto, discuss his time at Binance, and explore the exciting developments in the ETF market, including custody, trade execution, and ASIC regulations. We'll also cover adoption differences between Australia and the US, and get Jeff's thoughts on VanEck's recent filing for the first U.S. spot Solana ETF and its impact on the broader market. Plus, we'll talk about other popular ETFs and their relevance for cryptocurrencies. Don't miss this episode packed with insights and industry expertise!

Next Episode

This week on the show, we have Blake and Tracey on the mic as they explore how the Trump assassination attempt is impacting the crypto market, with a focus on prediction markets and Trump-themed tokens. The crypto market is making a strong comeback recently, so it's timely to cover the significant gains in Bitcoin and Ethereum and the SEC drops its investigation into Bitcoin Layer 2, Stacks, marking a big win for DeFi. That plus, Blake hit up last week's Ethereum Community Conference in Brussels, so we get the full lowdown on that.


Get ready for a lively discussion on the latest shocks and speculations in the crypto world!
