Crypto News Today

This week in crypto has been one of the most aggressive resets we’ve seen in months. Bitcoin slid into the mid-$80,000s, the crypto market shed more than $1 trillion in six weeks, forced liquidations wiped out over $2.2 billion, and institutional flows completely froze — leaving the market exposed to cascading downside.

But it’s not all doom. Some altcoins unexpectedly outperformed, interest-rate sentiment is shifting again, and early signs suggest the worst of the selling pressure may finally be slowing. In today’s Weekly Crypto Roundup, we break down:

– Bitcoin’s worst month since 2022

– Why the market structure caused the meltdown

– $2.2B in liquidations and what triggered them

– Altcoins like Audiera, Grass & Tensor bucking the trend

– Institutional treasuries plunging from $176B → $99B

– Why next week could bring relief if key signals hold

– Analyst insights from Markus Thielen, James Check & Matt Hougan

And before we get into all of that, a massive thank you to everyone who rated the show 5 stars — your support keeps this show alive. And don’t forget: once we hit 200 ratings before Christmas, two listeners will win 50 XRP each. If you’ve already rated us in the past, drop “done” in the comments so we can count you in.

Bitcoin has just recorded its worst month since 2022 — and in today’s deep dive, we break down exactly why it happened. This is the first major stress-test of the new ETF era, and the results were far more revealing than anyone expected.

We explore the macro shocks, the liquidity vacuum, the ETF inflow freeze, the $2.2B in liquidations, and why this downturn wasn’t driven by fear — but by structure. We also look at long-term holder behaviour, institutional positioning, and the early signs of exhaustion that could mark the beginning of stabilisation.

At the start of the episode, we’re also giving details on our Christmas giveaway: 50 XRP to two listeners. To enter, simply rate the show five stars and comment “done” below this episode. If you’ve already rated the show, you’re still included — just comment “done” so we know.

Today on The Daily Crypto Roundup, we break down one of the most chaotic days the market has seen in months. Bitcoin is slipping toward dangerous territory as global investors flee risk, nearly $400 billion has been erased from crypto valuations in a single week, and liquidations across Bitcoin, Solana, XRP and Dogecoin have topped more than $2.2 billion in just 24 hours.

We look at why the entire market has fallen back under the $3 trillion level, why margin calls are accelerating Bitcoin’s worst month since 2022, and how corporate treasury firms have seen more than $70 billion wiped off their combined market caps.

We also examine an unexpected bright spot — XRP massively outperforming Bitcoin over the past year — and share key comments from Binance CEO Richard Teng on why today’s volatility is actually in line with other major asset classes.

Today’s deep dive goes straight into the heart of the crypto market — interest rates. They are the invisible force that controls every bull run, every crash, every liquidity cycle, and every moment of panic or euphoria. We break down exactly how interest rates move the entire crypto ecosystem, why the last two years have been so brutal, and why the next two years could be explosive as global central banks shift their stance.

We also open the episode with shoutouts to RR84 and Pavel G, who are both receiving 10 XRP this week for their brilliant ideas and contributions to the show. If you want to be part of future giveaways, jump into the comments, send your thoughts, and get involved with the community.

Plus, a quick reminder: if we hit 200 five-star ratings before Christmas, we’ll be giving away 50 XRP to two listeners. If you’ve already rated the show, comment “done” so we can include you.

Today on The Daily Crypto Roundup, we break down a huge day across the crypto markets.

The UK’s Serious Fraud Office has opened a major investigation into a $28 million crypto scheme involving misleading NFT sales and investor losses. The Financial Stability Board has released a new review warning that global crypto regulation remains fragmented, inconsistent, and increasingly risky for cross-border markets. Meanwhile, the entire crypto sector has shed more than $1 trillion in value over the last six weeks as fears of a wider tech bubble collide with fading expectations of rate cuts.

We also look at Tether’s surprising new investment into Latin-American crypto settlement rails — a move that could reshape how USDT flows through emerging markets — and the massive headline of the day: the brand-new XRP ETF launches on the New York Stock Exchange. With its management fee waived for the first month, analysts say this could be a landmark moment for XRP’s long-term structure.

And don’t forget — if we hit 200 five-star ratings before Christmas, we’ll be giving away 50 XRP each to two listeners. If you’ve already rated the show, comment “done” below so we can count your entry.

El Salvador shocked the world in 2021 by becoming the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. Today, we dig into whether the world’s boldest national Bitcoin experiment is actually working — or whether the global headlines have missed the real story.

We break down why President Nayib Bukele pushed this through, how the Bitcoin Law changed everyday life, what’s happened with adoption, how much the country holds, the role of volcano-powered mining, and what analysts think about the long-term sustainability of this strategy.

We look at IMF pressure, bond market reactions, tourism data, domestic usage, and whether El Salvador’s strategy of “buying the dip” has paid off. And with Bitcoin hitting new cycles, we explore what might come next for the country’s finances, economy, and global influence.

Today’s Daily Crypto Roundup breaks down one of the busiest days we’ve seen in weeks. Bitcoin slips back under the $90,000 level, extending its deepest drawdown since 2017 as leverage finally flushes from the system. ETF flows turn sharply negative, with BlackRock’s IBIT posting its largest-ever single-day outflow — more than $523 million pulled in 24 hours.

At the same time, Kraken has quietly filed for a U.S. IPO, aiming for a 2026 listing that could reshape how crypto companies interact with public markets. In Washington, Trump’s nominee to lead the CFTC faces tough questioning from senators, with major implications for how Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other spot-market assets may be regulated going forward.

We also look at why analysts think the reopening of the U.S. government could set off a new wave of crypto ETF approvals, potentially the biggest expansion of regulated crypto products since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Today on The Daily Crypto Roundup, we’re diving into one of the most powerful forces shaping the market in 2025 — the rise of influencer-driven crypto cycles. We break down how online giants like Adin Ross and Andrew Tate are unintentionally moving meme-coin seasons, shifting retail sentiment, and causing liquidity waves simply through their streaming moments, viral reactions, and massive cultural reach.

We also take a closer look at Tate’s recent statement — “Bitcoin is going to $26,000” — and what it really means for sentiment, as well as his own meme-coin ecosystem and why it behaves the way it does. Plus, a shoutout to RR84, a friend of the show, for bringing that story to our attention.

This deep dive explores:

– How Kick streamers drive meme-coin volatility

– Why influencer casino culture pumps crypto liquidity

– How Tate’s bearish calls ripple through retail traders

– Why meme coins move more on culture than fundamentals

– The future of influencer-powered crypto markets

Today on The Daily Crypto Roundup, the market finally shows signs of stabilisation after one of the heaviest sell-offs of the year. Bitcoin dipped under $90k before reclaiming support, Ethereum flushed into a key zone and bounced, and the SEC just removed crypto from its 2026 exam priorities — a major shift in tone from Washington.

We break down the six biggest stories driving today’s bounce:

– The SEC pulling crypto out of its exam agenda

– Ethereum’s drop to the $3,000 support region

– Bitcoin’s capitulation wick below $90k and recovery

– A massive leverage flush that cleared out weak hands

– Crypto-linked stocks rebounding

– Select altcoins showing early signs of rotation

The market isn’t bullish yet, but the free-fall has slowed — and today’s stabilisation could mark the start of a base-building phase.

🧠 Today’s Deep Dive:

We break down Michael Saylor’s newest multi-billion-dollar Bitcoin accumulation — over 8,000 BTC added while the entire market is in fear mode, ETFs are bleeding more than $1.1B, and Bitcoin is battling one of its heaviest corrections of the year.

In this episode, we explore why Saylor buys when everyone else panics, how Strategy has engineered one of the most aggressive BTC treasury strategies ever attempted by a public company, what this move signals to institutions, and what it means for Bitcoin’s long-term future.

This is a neutral-to-heroic analysis of Saylor’s philosophy, the mechanics of his mega-purchase, and the broader tension between institutional fear and long-term conviction.
