Join Matt and Nick as they break down the price rally in the crypto market, Bitcoin ETF demand, signs of retail investors returning, memecoin mania, the ETHDenver conference and lots more.

Key Takeaways

• Bitcoin (BTC) hit record highs against the Australian dollar and other major currencies. The USD-denominated all-time high of $69,000 is certainly within striking distance.
• Coinbase suffered an outage after its traffic increased by more than 10x. Combined with recent growth in its app downloads, this signals that more retail investors are returning to the crypto market.
• Memecoins, the market’s riskiest sector, have strongly outperformed in recent weeks. Expect just about every sector to have a period of outperformance in this bull market.
• The key themes from ETHDenver, one of Ethereum’s largest annual conferences, were restaking, crypto x AI, parallel EVMs and Bitcoin L2s.
• Among the altcoin updates covered: Arbitrum’s integration with the Robinhood Wallet app and Blast’s mainnet release.
