Welcome back to Crypto Curious!

Every Wednesday we dive into the dynamic world of crypto, from markets and regulation to the projects shaping what’s next.

👉🏼 This week, confidence is creeping back in. The U.S. government shutdown has officially ended, sparking a rally across global markets — and crypto is leading the charge.

I’m Tracey, and as always, I’m joined by Blake and we’re thrilled to welcome back the one and only Daxx, a.k.a. Kyle Stagoll to help us with the unpack!

👂🏼If you caught his last episode, you’ll know he’s got one of the sharpest reads on the charts, and he’s joining us again to talk market sentiment, cycles, and what this next phase could look like.

We’ve got plenty to cover — from Trump’s renewed stimulus talk, CFTC’s push for regulated spot crypto trading, to Solana’s staking ETF boom and Tether’s latest Bitcoin buy.

Let’s get into it 🚀

Welcome back to Crypto Curious! I’m Tracey, joined as always by my co-host Blake, and this week we’re unpacking a big shift in the markets — because so much for Uptober!

After six straight years of green, October finally broke its streak, closing in the red. We’ll dig into what’s behind the pullback, what it means for the next stage of the cycle, and whether “Moonvember” still has a chance.

Then we turn to MetaMask — the wallet giant making waves with its long-awaited $MASK token and new rewards season that’s got the crypto community buzzing.

We’ll wrap with a quick word on Aus Crypto Con, plus your short, sharp news bites — including everything from a $128M Balancer hack to Tether’s record profits and the rise of the digital euro.

It’s a packed episode of Crypto Curious — let’s get into it 🚀

👋🏼 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 to a very special episode of the Crypto Curious podcast — because today we hit a huge milestone… episode number 200.

That’s right, for nearly four years we’ve been here every Wednesday, helping you unpack the wild world of crypto — through the crashes, the comebacks, the memes, the meltdowns, and everything in between.

🎙️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.

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!
