Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast 👋🏼
Every Wednesday we break down the biggest stories in crypto and help you make sense of the week — whether you’re brand new to the space or already deep in the ecosystem.
👉🏼 This week, we’re kicking off December with a small market shake as Bitcoin starts the month with a bit of a wobble. We’ll unpack what’s behind the move and what it signals heading into year-end.
👉🏼 Then we shift to Ethereum, where the next major upgrade — Fusaka — is on the horizon. We’ll walk through what it aims to solve, what it unlocks, and why developers are calling it a meaningful step forward for the network.
👉🏼And finally, prediction markets are taking a major leap on-chain. Kalshi is tokenizing their markets on Solana, bringing a regulated prediction platform into the crypto world in a way we haven’t seen before.
Lots to get through — so, let’s get into it 🚀

208 - Solo Miner Jackpot, Kraken’s $20B Play & Jonno’s Big Case Study
November 26, 2025
•25m
Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast!
👉🏼 This week, we’re kicking things off with one of the wildest Bitcoin stories we’ve heard in a while: a solo hobby miner who beat million-to-one odds and walked away with more than $266,000 USD in BTC.
👉🏼 We then shift gears into big industry news — Kraken’s new $20B valuation and their confidential filing for a U.S. IPO, a major signal that crypto companies are heading back toward public markets.
And we’re not flying solo today: Jonno is back as guest host. You loved him last time for his security insights, and this week he’s brought a real-world case study showing how blockchain analysis helped police bring down a criminal gang. It’s a fascinating look at how crypto is shaping modern investigations.
So, let’s get into it 🚀
