🎙️ Honest Money’s Weekly Bitcoin Brief

Bitcoin in 2025 looked very different to previous market cycles. In this episode, Anja breaks down how Bitcoin continued to mature as global financial infrastructure, often quietly and away from market headlines, and why Australia played a more meaningful role in the Bitcoin conversation this year than many realised.

This Bitcoin Brief covers Australia’s evolving Bitcoin regulation, the launch of Bitcoin-collateralised loan products, growing institutional investment, and why long-term holder behaviour remains one of the most important signals in the market. Despite relatively flat price action, significant progress continued across financial services, digital assets, and global Bitcoin adoption.

Bitcoin only. No hype. No distractions. Australian lens, global context.
