Markets are red across the board — and yes, crypto felt it too.
But in the middle of the chaos, Bitcoin’s getting a surprising nod from BlackRock’s CEO... could it really challenge the US dollar?
And Binance? They’re under fire again — this time for questionable token listings and dumping stablecoins.
We’re unpacking all of it — the bloodbath, the bold claims, and the backlash — right here on Crypto Curious.

April 1, 2025

Crypto Curious is back this week with a VERY special guest... She’s been making people laugh through every bear market...the queen of crypto comedy and founder of Web3 Is A Joke – welcome, Mona!
First up, the notorious Lazarus Group and Kim Jong Un were spotted popping bottles in Ibiza—because apparently, laundering billions just isn’t thrilling enough without a beachfront DJ set.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin maxi Michael Saylor has stunned the crypto world by—brace yourself—buying Ethereum. That’s right, the man who put “laser eyes” in his LinkedIn bio just aped into ETH.
In corporate news, Ripple is making waves—literally. They’ve just acquired Trojan Condoms. Why? We have no idea, but let’s hope their liquidity stays as strong as their protection.
And finally, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has returned from Turkey with... a full head of hair. That’s right—crypto winter might still be dragging on, but Brian’s hairline? Bull market confirmed.
Buckle up—it’s April Fools', and nothing is as it seems. Let’s get into it!
