Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast - our final for 2025!
Today’s episode is a special one as our O.G crew is back together. I’m Tracey and joining me in the hot seat are Blake and Craig Jackson for our end-of-year wrap.
We’re looking back at the year that was in crypto, the all-time highs, the pullbacks, the memecoin madness, the slower but crucial progress on regulation, and what all of it meant for everyday investors using dollar cost averaging.
We’ll unpack the biggest themes that defined 2025, dig deeper into a few of the most important shifts, and then finish with our thoughts on what could matter most in 2026 and beyond.
It’s been a big year — so let’s get into it 🚀

Next Episode
Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, and our first episode for the year!
I’m Tracey, and today Blake and I are unpacking a week that feels quietly important as we settle into 2026.
👉🏼 We’re starting with the return of ETF inflows into Bitcoin — not in a euphoric rush, but in a much calmer, more deliberate way. We’ll talk about what that says about market maturity, and why this may matter more for long-term investors than short-term traders.
👉🏼 Then we’ll dig into comments from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who says the network may be closer than ever to solving crypto’s biggest technical trade-off — and why that confidence is worth paying attention to.
👉🏼 And finally, we’ll walk through the recent Ledger data breach — what actually happened, what didn’t, and why personal data leaks can still be a serious risk even when your crypto remains safe.
Let's get into it 🚀
