Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast, and what a start to October it’s been!


The market’s heating up, but when it burns red, it somehow means green for crypto. We’ll unpack what’s driving the surge, ask if the GENIUS Act could be the beginning of banking’s downfall, and talk about a wild story - $21 million vanishing into thin air!!


Yep, it’s 2025 and this stuff still happens.


Let’s get into it. 🚀

Previous Episode

Welcome to a very special episode of the Crypto Curious podcast — because today we hit a huge milestone... episode number 200.


That’s right, for nearly four years we’ve been here every Wednesday, helping you unpack the wild world of crypto — through the crashes, the comebacks, the memes, the meltdowns, and everything in between.


And to mark the occasion, we’ve brought back one of the originals... Craig Jackson is back in the chair with Blake and me today. The OG crew is reunited and ready to dive into some massive stories 👇🏼

👉🏼 from Vanguard finally wobbling on its anti-crypto stance

👉🏼 to the meteoric rise of Aster

👉🏼 and then a look back at the biggest moments we’ve covered across 200 episodes.


It’s already been one hell of a ride and, we’re just getting started 🚀
