👋🏼 Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast.

This week, we’re doing something a little different — bringing you the replay from our Crypto Curious Live webinar, where we talked through the biggest surprises in the market so far this year, why conviction still matters, and how we’re staying the course through all the chaos.

We also took some great questions from our live audience — everything from market timing to how to keep your cool when things get volatile. So if you missed the live session, sit back and enjoy the replay — packed with real talk, insights, and a reminder of why we’re all still here.

Let's get into it 🚀

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast — your weekly dive into the fast-moving world of crypto, where we break down what’s happening, why it matters, and what it means for you.

If you’re new to crypto, make sure you check out our early episodes for the basics — they’ll give you a solid foundation before we take you into the deep end.

👉🏼 This week on the show: the October 11 Crypto Crash — the $19 billion bloodbath that sent shockwaves through the market, and the hidden Binance flaw that helped fuel it.

👉🏼 Plus, Swift — yes, the banking giant that moves trillions a day — just entered the blockchain game. But not in the way you think.

We’ve got a massive week to unpack 👇🏼, so let’s get into it 🚀

🎙️This week in crypto, the Fed’s expected rate cut kept markets calm, until whispers of a classic Red September sell-off started to spread.

Meanwhile, BNB made headlines by breaking through the $1,000 mark, though not without fresh rumors swirling around Binance.

And in wallet news, MetaMask has finally confirmed what many have been waiting for: the launch of its own native token, MASK.

This is Tracey & Blake, and you're listening to Crypto Curious!

👉🏼 This week we’ve got a big one — Ethereum is smashing through an all-time high and everyone’s watching what happens next. We’ll break down what Jerome Powell’s latest speech means, and how QE could be fueling the momentum.

🦊 MetaMask is stepping up its game too, unveiling mUSD, a brand-new native stablecoin built to power its DeFi wallet — we’ll explore what that could mean for the ecosystem.

❓Finally, you’ve probably heard the phrase “local top” thrown around lately — but what does it actually mean, and how can you spot one? We’ll explain it in plain English.

But before that, have a special guest on the show while Trace is away - Ben Ritchie is the Managing Director of Alpha Node Global, a licensed Australian investment manager specialising in digital assets. With a background spanning Deloitte, ASX-listed companies, and global financial markets, Ben combines traditional finance expertise with a deep focus on cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation. He is also a strong advocate for investor education, regulatory clarity, and building bridges between traditional wealth management and the emerging digital economy.

Now let’s get into it. 🚀
