Today is another special episode of the Rise'n'Crypto podcast because it marks both the end and the start. After 312 episodes, 1,586 stories, and 396,836 words, Rise’n’Crypto is coming to and end. But, this isn’t a sad day, because Rise’n’Crypto isn’t dead, it’s evolving. At Cointelegraph, we asked ourselves: how can we turn Rise’n’Crypto into something more. And now, we know. This daily show is moving to an hour-long live Space on X, where every day, Cointelegraph’s managing editor, Ga...
Bitcoin dominance is the talk of the town again as traders wonder just how high it would need to go to reach a ceiling and then start making way for altcoins. One trader even suggested that "altseason" came and went, it was just underwhelming. Elsewhere, MicroStrategy has rebranded to Strategy, adding the Bitcoin logo to its own new logo. Then, in an earnings call, Strategy reported $670M in net losses for Q4 2024, but it's all part of the plan, and that plan is — unsurprisingly — Bitcoin. In...
It was another day of volatility in crypto, and traders, analysts, and market commentators began to sound alike, saying that this bull cycle no longer resembles bulls of the past. But why? After we look at that, it’s on to some major US political moves that will affect crypto, from SEC “relief” to crypto regulation proposals from lawmakers. Finally, we’ll look at ZachXBT's latest investigation that suggests Coinbase users are being scammed out of $300 million per year! Further reading: ‘Atypi...
1As we move further from the weekend’s crypto bloodbath, we are getting a better sense of the scale of the event; the Bybit CEO said liquidations weren’t around $2 billion, but more like $10 billion! Nevertheless, yesterday saw a sizeable rebound across Bitcoin and altcoins, so there’s much to unpack. MicroStrategy finally put a halt on selling its stock for Bitcoin after 12 consecutive weeks of purchases, and Ethereum rallied as Eric Trump claimed it was a great time to buy ETH. Still, the Tr...
It was an utter bloodbath of a weekend for Bitcoin, spilling into Monday. The cause? Most point to US President Donald Trump, whose trade tariffs have wreaked chaos both inside and outside crypto. To begin today’s episode, I will go through exactly how Bitcoin was affected and what it might mean going forward. Then we’ll look at Binance being investigated in France on allegations of money laundering and drug trafficking, India’s hostile attitude toward crypto that may be changing and how one ...
Bitcoin is seeing a clear divergence in strategy between retail investors and whales — something that isn’t uncommon but is interesting. Outside of Bitcoin, it’s chaos as always. The parents of FTX’s former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, are looking into getting a pardon for their son from President Donald Trump, Pump.fun was hit with a class-action lawsuit claiming all memecoins from the platform are securities, Elon Musk’s dad has his own a memecoin and Ross Ulbricht's wallet loses $12 million in ...
Bitcoin saw some gains yesterday after the FOMC meeting, which included no surprises. Still, Fed Chair Jerome Powell answered a question that sparked today’s special episode: Is President Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly administration going to transform the cyclical nature of crypto? Have we seen the last altseason? Will crypto winters never be quite as frosty? I will look through the analysis of leading figures in the space and you can decide whether 2025 will be the year when everything chan...
Bitcoin's volatility has tapered since an explosive start to the week as analysts point to a strengthening correlation between BTC and the financial markets. The FOMC in the US is today and the FedWatch tool has the outcome at a 99.5% probability, so any deviation could reverberate through crypto. Also on Bitcoin, Poland has overtaken El Salvador for Bitcoin ATMs and the Czech National Bank will be discussing a strategic Bitcoin reserve of about $7.3 billion. Outside of Bitcoin, Bitwise filed...
It was a bumpy start to the week for Bitcoin as the world’s largest cryptocurrency dropped 7% to briefly trade below $98,000 on Jan. 27 — its lowest level in 10 days. The sudden correction followed shockwaves from the viral Chinese AI platform DeepSeek, whose launch sent ripples through both crypto and tech markets. Despite the dip, analysts remain optimistic, citing a lack of panic selling as a sign of confidence among long-term holders. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy announced a bold new $2.5 mil...
It was a placid weekend for Bitcoin and most of crypto until yesterday afternoon, when there was a sudden spike in volatility caused by the viral Chinese AI app DeepSeek. This impacted stock futures and, in a growing correlation, BTC, which fell 5% in 24 hours to below $100,000. Nevertheless, most prominent traders aren’t concerned. Then, outside of Bitcoin, one debate stole the conversation this weekend: a report that Elon Musk is looking at utilizing blockchain technology to track and reduc...
Yesterday saw volatility in Bitcoin that can be traced to peaks and troughs of hope and disappointment. So, in today’s episode, we’ll go through the announcements and executive orders from US agencies and President Donald Trump and why these ultimately disappointed crypto folks, even if they were overwhelmingly positive. Then we’ll look at the harrowing kidnapping of the Ledger co-founder in France and how the deceased cybersecurity developer John McAfee has been resurrected as an AI agent wi...
There is an air of uncertainty around the macroeconomic situation in the United States and it’s affecting crypto, but fortunately for the podcast, there are fascinating some stories unfolding. Firstly — and we all saw this coming — things are heating up around President Donald Trump’s memecoin launch, with House Democrats calling for an ethics probe and lawyers suggesting there are lawsuits in the pipeline. Then, at the World Economic Forum, the idea of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve is spark...
Bitcoin had a fairly quiet 24 hours as the market waited for US President Donald Trump to make an announcement. Still, flying under the radar were the spot Bitcoin ETFs, which racked up the best part of $2 billion of inflows in two trading days! Then, the SEC launched a crypto task force led by “Crypto Mom” Hester Peirce, Elon Musk’s DOGE agency launched its website with the Dogecoin logo, ETH struggled amid continued drama behind the scenes and then Trump officially pardoned Silk Road ...
Bitcoin took a hit yesterday and we needn’t look far for the cause. Yesterday was, of course, the US Inauguration Day, and despite high hopes for President Donald Trump’s first day back in office and the executive orders he might sign, there was no mention of crypto. This outraged much of Crypto Twitter as some of Trump’s “day one” promises fell short. But are critics overreacting? Does Trump need to prove his intentions with crypto or are they well-established? In today’s episode, I’ll take ...
As the day of the US presidential inauguration dawned, Bitcoin hit an all-time high and pushed $110K, but this was eclipsed by the biggest story of the weekend: Donald Trump launched an official memecoin. That’s right, mere days before becoming US president once again, Trump launched a Solana-based memecoin, TRUMP, and it hit a market cap of $15 billion within 48 hours, breaching the top 15 cryptocurrencies. The move shocked people inside and outside of crypto, and we were left to wonder what...
Today’s episode concerns US politics, but I would like to point out two important details: Firstly, it’s far more interesting than it sounds, and secondly, we are in a crypto era that is dependent US politics whether we like it or not. So, to start, we’ll look at BTC cycle top predictions, before we move into a medley of stories about strategic Bitcoin reserves. Then we’ll look at Senator Cynthia Lummis, who claims that whistle-blowers have told her the FDIC has been destroying documents pert...
Bitcoin had a positive 24 hours, venturing above $100,000 a few times though it hasn’t stuck yet. Analysts seem skeptical about reclaiming the six-figure price tag and expect sideways action for some weeks, but will Trump’s inauguration change that? Elsewhere, the newly appointed US Senate Banking Committee chair said that a crypto framework will be a priority, the US government has said the funds from a 2016 hack should go back to Bitfinex, outraging some users, and according to a survey, 60...
Bitcoin spent the past 24 hours with low volatility as it trades within a “narrowing triangle,” which may indicate that a breakout is close. The problem is, we don’t know which way that breakout will go and it may hinge on the FOMC meeting at the end of the month rather than on US President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week. Nevertheless, Trump’s re-entry into office could spark serious inflows into Bitcoin with an upper price target of $249,000 this year! This is also spurred on by...
Volatility rushed back into Bitcoin in the past 24 hours, albeit mostly in the right direction as analysts predict whether BTC is headed for $70,000 — or not. One point for the latter might be Bitcoin exchange reserves hitting their lowest levels since 2018, which may cause a supply shock. Elsewhere, reports circulate that President-elect Donald Trump will sign executive orders pertaining to crypto on day one back in the Oval Office, an appellate court criticizes the SEC in the Coinbase case ...
It was a fairly quiet weekend for Bitcoin (though it is getting louder as we move into Monday), but there is plenty to learn to prepare for this week, including Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy seemingly buying yet more Bitcoin. Outside of BTC, XRP may be looking at 60% gains ahead of Gensler's exit and Trump's entrance, Singapore blocks Polymarket over unlicensed gambling concerns and Wolf Capital co-founder pleads guilty to a $9.4 million Ponzi scheme that promised 547% returns!
