Welcome back to Crypto Curious and yes, the gang is back together!! Today, Tracey, Blake & Craig hit the mics kicking off with Sony - who are making waves with the launch of Soneium, their very own Ethereum Layer-2 testnet. What’s their play, and how could it revolutionize blockchain as we know it? Next up, the NFT giant OpenSea is feeling the heat, facing potential legal action from the SEC. Could this be the beginning of the end for the wild west of NFTs, or just another bump in the road? And finally, hold onto your hat's folks — Donald Trump is back, but this time he’s not just talking politics. We’re exploring his latest venture into DeFi and how some hefty crypto donations might just shake up the industry.

And before we get into all that, we’ll kick things off by examining the recent surge in Bitcoin’s price. Major political and economic shifts have sparked this rise—could this be a sign of things to come?
