Today on the show, the whole gang is back together and just in time as markets flinch as the U.S. launches strikes on Iran, and Bitcoin feels the heat 🔥. But just as quickly as tensions rose, a possible ceasefire sends mixed signals through the crypto world.
👉🏼 Then: the U.S. takes the first real swing at stablecoin regulation with the GENIUS Act — but is it a breakthrough or just branding?
👉🏼And finally, the Fed holds interest rates steady. What does that mean for your crypto bag, and is the risk-on rally back?
Let’s get into it 🚀

My name's Tracey, & this week I'm flying solo with Blake while Craig enjoys one last week off.
This week on Crypto Curious, we're diving into the shiny new Bitcoin-back credit card from Coinbase. Yes, its metal, it’s got perks, and it’s the first of its kind on the Amex network.
Plus, crypto gets a glow-up in 2025 as new data shows it’s not just for bros and Lambos anymore. The space is growing up, and so are the people using it.
We're also checking in on the DECA conference, unpacking Trump’s crypto playbook, as we round it all out with our Short Sharp News Bites — kidnappings, stablecoins, and a whole lot of regulatory tea.
Let’s get into it 🚀
