We are on the cusp of new crypto spot ETFs being launched on a range of cryptos that will include in-kind redemptions and staking, which is all very exciting.

A crypto reserve SPAC could be an interesting investment opportunity for some. The race to be the next Mayor of NYC has opened a crypto divide which we want settled in our favour.

BBVA is in tune with the CCC. Trump wants GENIUS on his desk. HYPE as a treasury reserve, are you sure?

Yet more stablecoin action. Despite his best efforts otherwise, Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, just can’t get his own way, and we all need to be grateful for that.

Not for the first time we learn that UK politicians of any and all stripes are basically rubbish. Stablecoins continue to dominate the news. A lovely bit of fun with a BTC price prediction.

GENIUS gets an overwhelming vote, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get more debate and more votes. Ukraine is heading in the right direction, but Connecticut sure ain’t.

The CCC is back, you lucky people. I am going to try very hard once again to banish a bugbear of mine, constantly parroted by those of little knowledge or understanding. There is a risk in Strategy’s strategy, but it is not the one you think it is.

Individual’s US pension plans can now invest in BTC. Perhaps the UK is about to abandon its long-held scepticism and start to embrace the crypto revolution. Let us hope so.

The SEC retreats further from its previous role as guardian of the reign of terror against cryptos in the US. The CLARITY Act of 2025 aims to bring, well, clarity to crypto regulation in the US.

This is going to shock you – the UK is warming, ever so slightly, towards cryptos. I know, I am struggling to believe it myself. We should take a look at Pakistan, which is providing inspirational crypto leadership to other nations, but we won’t.

ETH is being adopted as a Treasury reserve asset, helping to fuel its recent near-doubling from local lows. A techie proves himself a fantasist. El Salvador fights the good fight against the IMF.
