Welcome back to Crypto Curious! I’m Tracey, joined as always by my co-host Blake, and this week we’re unpacking a big shift in the markets — because so much for Uptober!


After six straight years of green, October finally broke its streak, closing in the red. We’ll dig into what’s behind the pullback, what it means for the next stage of the cycle, and whether “Moonvember” still has a chance.


Then we turn to MetaMask — the wallet giant making waves with its long-awaited $MASK token and new rewards season that’s got the crypto community buzzing.


We’ll wrap with a quick word on Aus Crypto Con, plus your short, sharp news bites — including everything from a $128M Balancer hack to Tether’s record profits and the rise of the digital euro.


It’s a packed episode of Crypto Curious — let’s get into it 🚀

Next Episode

Welcome back to Crypto Curious!


Every Wednesday we dive into the dynamic world of crypto, from markets and regulation to the projects shaping what’s next.


👉🏼 This week, confidence is creeping back in. The U.S. government shutdown has officially ended, sparking a rally across global markets — and crypto is leading the charge.


I’m Tracey, and as always, I’m joined by Blake and we’re thrilled to welcome back the one and only Daxx, a.k.a. Kyle Stagoll to help us with the unpack!


👂🏼If you caught his last episode, you’ll know he’s got one of the sharpest reads on the charts, and he’s joining us again to talk market sentiment, cycles, and what this next phase could look like.


We’ve got plenty to cover — from Trump’s renewed stimulus talk, CFTC’s push for regulated spot crypto trading, to Solana’s staking ETF boom and Tether’s latest Bitcoin buy.


Let’s get into it 🚀
