The Crypto Rundown

Hyperliquid stands out in a subdued crypto market as traders weigh its rebound against cooling volatility and lighter options activity.

Mark Longo breaks down Bitcoin and Ethereum price action, declining implied volatility in IBIT and ETHA, and the latest options flow in Strategy (MSTR), BitMine (BMNR) and Circle. He also examines Hyperliquid's HYPE token, an active November call trade in its associated treasury stock, and whether listeners would buy or sell those calls.

Plus, get updates on Solana, Sol Strategies, XRP, Dogecoin, Litecoin and more in this market-focused edition of The Crypto Rundown.

Bitcoin pulled back after a midweek rally, while Solana held on to much of its recent gains. Mark Longo breaks down the latest crypto options activity in IBIT, MSTR, ETHA, BMNR and PURR, including a sharp drop in MSTR volatility and an unusually long dated PURR call trade. Plus, a look at Circle's continued slide, renewed interest in Litecoin, and the listener poll asking which crypto asset you'd hold through year end.

Crypto markets are roaring back, and some of their riskiest corners are suddenly delivering eye-catching returns. Mark Longo welcomes back Bill Ulivieri of Cenacle Capital Management to examine Bitcoin's breakout, renewed crypto options activity and whether capital may be rotating from AI into digital assets.

They explore IBIT, MSTR, MSTU, Ethereum, BMNR, Circle, HYPE, PURR and Solana, along with two highly speculative names: STKE and Gemini Space Station. Bill also discusses options premium strategies, crypto yield opportunities, tokenized securities, regulatory developments and his outlook for the next crypto cycle.

Bill Ulivieri of Cenacle Capital Management returns to The Crypto Rundown — and after calling the Bitcoin bottom on his last appearance, he's feeling even more bullish about what comes next.

Mark Longo and Bill explore why Bitcoin could be sitting on a "coiled spring of energy," the latest action in IBIT and MSTR options, and whether Strategy still has more room to run. They also dig into the outlook for Ethereum, Solana and XRP, the surprising rise of Zcash, and the latest activity in ETHA, BMNR, Circle and PURR.

Plus, Bill explains why the convergence of crypto, blockchain and agentic AI could dramatically reshape trading, and highlights Arbitrum and Uniswap as two names worth watching as Robinhood pushes deeper into blockchain and DeFi.

Was this the greatest week in crypto history?

On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo is joined by Pat Wood, President and CEO of DelphX Capital Markets, to break down an explosive week across the cryptocurrency markets.

Bitcoin comes roaring back with a massive rally and surging ETF inflows, while activity and volatility heat up in IBIT and MSTR. We examine what the move means for Bitcoin traders, whether this rally has staying power, and why Pat believes the next generation of digital asset treasuries needs to think beyond simply buying and holding.

Then we venture into the Altcoin Universe, where the rally is spreading fast. Ethereum finally wakes up, Solana shows signs of life, XRP surges, and HYPE/Hyperliquid continues to generate serious buzz. We also examine the wild options activity in ETHA, BMNR, Circle (CRCL), and PUR, including the rush for upside exposure as crypto traders embrace the rally.

Plus, we discuss:

• Bitcoin's monster weekly rally and whether it can continue
• The resurgence in IBIT options volume and volatility
• MSTR, Michael Saylor and the future of digital asset treasury strategies
• Using covered calls and collars in crypto
• Ethereum's dramatic comeback
• The latest action in Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and other altcoins
• The growing excitement surrounding Hyperliquid and HYPE
• Why crypto market structure may be entering a new phase

On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo welcomes back Brandon Mulvihill, Co-Founder and CEO of Crossover Markets, for a wide-ranging conversation about the evolving crypto marketplace.

They explore the growth of institutional crypto trading, why Brandon believes crypto has more of a supply-chain problem than a demand problem, and how custody, credit, execution and regulation could shape the next phase of institutional adoption. Brandon also discusses the growth of Crossover Markets and CROSSx, the launch of CROSSx Disclosed, and what increasing involvement from traditional financial institutions could mean for digital assets.

Then the conversation turns to two of the hottest areas in the market: crypto perpetuals and prediction markets. Are perps really a revolutionary new product—or are they essentially the latest evolution of CFDs? And will prediction markets maintain their momentum as regulation and traditional sports betting continue to evolve?

Plus, we break down the latest action in Bitcoin, IBIT, Strategy (MSTR), Ethereum, ETHA, BMNR, Circle, HYPE, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and more.

On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, host Mark Longo welcomes Adam Bergman, founder of IRA Financial, to the Crypto Hot Seat for a deep dive into crypto, taxes and retirement accounts.

They discuss why investors may want crypto exposure in their IRAs, the potential tax advantages of trading crypto and options in retirement accounts, buying Bitcoin directly versus using ETFs and digital asset treasury companies, the role of gold alongside crypto, and whether investor attention is shifting from digital assets toward AI and other hot equities.

Then we head into the dog days of summer with a decidedly quiet crypto market. We break down the latest activity in Bitcoin, IBIT and MSTR before venturing into the altcoin universe for ETH, BMNR, CRCL, PURR, Solana, XRP, DOGE and more. Plus, we examine where options traders are still finding opportunities as volatility and trading activity cool off for the summer.

Is the crypto market simply cooling off for the summer, or are traders quietly positioning for the next big move?
