Crypto is no longer living on the fringes — it’s rapidly becoming part of the global financial system. In this episode, we explore how cryptocurrencies are evolving in 2025 and what their growing integration with traditional finance really means.

We break down a high-profile debate between BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who agree that 2025 is a turning point for U.S. regulation — and that tokenization could transform global markets as we know them.

But not everyone is on board. We also cover the pushback from the DeFi world, including Hayden Adams’ criticism of Citadel and the growing fight over whether decentralized protocols should be regulated like traditional financial intermediaries.

On the market side, we look at what’s happening right now:

• Monad staking launches on Bitget with over $6 million locked in its first week
• XRP faces pressure from rising short selling
• Zcash holds a critical technical support level, signaling a possible short-term bounce

Whether you’re a long-term investor, a DeFi enthusiast, or just trying to understand where crypto is heading, this episode brings you the key stories shaping the future of digital finance.
