It’s a massive week in crypto, and we’re diving straight into the biggest headline of them all:
💥 Bitcoin has smashed through its all-time high, officially entering blue-sky territory with some serious institutional heat behind it.
🤪 But that’s not all... the meme coin platform we all love (or love to hate), Pump.fun, has launched its own token — and let’s just say the drama did not disappoint.
👉🏼 From billion-dollar squeezes to Solana chaos, we’ve got it all.
I’m Tracey, and as always, I’m joined by my co-host Blake to break down the stories, explain what actually matters, and help you make sense of this wild, crazy week in crypto.
Let’s get into it 🚀
