The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.
Hey crypto fam, Crypto Willy here, your friendly blockchain buff next door, and you won’t believe the action we’ve seen leading up to June 24, 2025. Bitcoin and the whole digital asset universe have been on a tear — so let’s break down the wild week and what it means for you.
First up, the crypto market is sporting serious green. After some geopolitical tensions cooled off in the Middle East, we saw 98 of the top 100 coins shoot upward. The total market cap’s now cruising at a beastly $3.23 trillion, with $150 billion in 24-hour trading volume. Bitcoin is back up, riding a 3.5% jump to $105,471. Compare that to where it languished just yesterday around $101,924 — not bad for a coin that many said was “tapped out.” Meanwhile, Ethereum is flexing hard, up 7.5% to $2,422, and XRP leads the charge with an 8.1% burst, now at $2.20. The real fireworks came from Sei, up an insane 36.1%, and SPX6900, surging almost 28% in a single session.
It’s not just the price action that’s changing the game. U.S. banks, like the heavyweights rolling out “deposit tokens,” are stepping even deeper into the blockchain pool, making crypto products more mainstream and accessible for regular folks — and that means more eyes, and wallets, in the space. On the product front, we’re seeing a blitz of new launches and acquisitions — it’s the Wild West with regulations, but with a lot more suits and less tumbleweed.
Now, let’s talk investor strategy. Reports from Bybit and the crew show Bitcoin now holds a whopping 30.95% of all crypto investor portfolios — up from just 25.4% at the end of last year. That’s partly because U.S. crypto laws are finally cutting some slack, and those shiny spot Bitcoin ETFs are letting more institutional money pour in. Interestingly, though, retail investors are diversifying; they’re still holding tight to Bitcoin but are also chasing altcoins with ETF dreams, like XRP. For every $1 in ETH, the average investor is holding $4 in Bitcoin. That gives you a sense of the shifting sands in portfolio strategy.
And if you’re hunting for what’s hot next, Solana, Chainlink, and Dogecoin are catching plenty of hype. Solana’s blazing fast chain and Chainlink’s oracle tech are making waves, while Dogecoin keeps stacking its meme magic. Meanwhile, the top 10 cryptos haven’t changed much: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, and XRP are still dominating the leaderboard, with names like Cardano, Avalanche, Shiba Inu, and Polkadot staying relevant.
Bottom line: Institutional adoption’s turning up the volume, retail traders are broadening horizons, and legacy banks are finally getting comfortable with blockchain. I’ll keep you posted as the landscape shifts, but for now, enjoy the uptrend and keep your wallets handy. This is Crypto Willy, keeping it real on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show — catch you next week!
