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, Gareth Jenkinson, and I will tackle the breaking news in crypto, joined by the best names in the industry as guests. What’s more, the floor will be wide open for questions that we will dedicate time to answering every episode.
The future of crypto news is live. So, for the biggest stories, the biggest names, and your biggest questions, join the conversation every day on X, with me, Robert Baggs and Gareth Jenkinson.
Follow us on @Cointelegraph, @Gazza_jenks, @RKBaggs on X.

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 a follow-up to yesterday's story, we speak to attorneys about the SEC's proposed token relief and who might benefit. And finally, Solana app revenues soar, but for how long can this momentum continue?

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!

As 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 Trump family crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, was reportedly trying to sell more of its WLFI token, which was swiftly denied.

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 lucky maniac made the best part of $50 million in profit from a 50x leveraged short play on Ether!

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 a memecoin misstep.

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 changed.

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 with the SEC for a spot Dogecoin ETF and Roger Ver launched a social media campaign for a presidential pardon for his tax and mail fraud charges.

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 million share offering to fund additional Bitcoin purchases, doubling down on its bullish strategy.
Elsewhere, Arizona made headlines by advancing legislation to create a state-backed Bitcoin reserve, while the US CFTC scheduled public roundtables to discuss crypto regulation.

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 reduce government spending in the US. Could this move for transparency and accountability be a step forward? Alongside this discussion was a conversation around Coinbase’s token listing practices, with the exchange’s CEO pointing out that over 1 million new tokens are created every week. However, Tron’s Justin Sun believes the problems run deeper at Coinbase.

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 with a Web3 project.

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 sparking debates as Cointelegraph’s managing editor probes the thoughts of the Coinbase CEO on stage. And finally, Solana hit an all-time high off the back of this weekend’s madness, but with a hefty correction since. What is needed for it to chase down that $300 target once again?

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 founder Ross Ulbricht.

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 you through what happened yesterday and what may be coming next.Further reading:

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 it might mean for crypto taxes in the US, for regulations and even whether Trump might have violated the US Constitution. So, in today’s special episode, I break down the entire fiasco ahead of the inauguration.

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 pertaining to Operation Chokepoint 2.0.

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% of crypto investors are young, educated and invest under $10K.

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 the growing momentum of governments looking at Bitcoin reserves. Then, outside of Bitcoin, Meta commits to free speech before it starts blocking links to competitors, and the CryptoPunks floor price spikes 13% in just three hours after a rumor circulates.

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 and Tether is moving its headquarters and subsidiaries to El Salvador!

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!

Bitcoin fell a little further yesterday, dipping below $92,000 before beginning its recovery. However, something ahead looms large: It seems the US government may try to sell $6.5 billion in BTC before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. What would that mean for Bitcoin’s price? Also on Bitcoin, a judge in Wales has thrown out the case of the missing hard drive with $770 million of BTC on it! Elsewhere, one crypto commentator with a good track record predicts altseason is around the corner, and an art gallery is the target of a class-action lawsuit over an NFT collection it sold.

It’s been another rough 24 hours for crypto with Bitcoin falling through that $95,000 support and raising questions about where it may stop. Some analysts have flagged as low as $73,000! Part of the downward pressure has been courtesy of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, which on Jan. 8 saw the second-highest daily outflow since they launched a year ago. Elsewhere, the outgoing CFTC chair discusses crypto in a final message, and the story of how decentralized exchange Hyperliquid created the best and most lucrative airdrop in crypto history.

Dec. 7 was a tough day for Bitcoin, which shed more than $5,000 after the announcement of US job openings data. The reaction seemed a little confusing, so we’ll start today’s episode by unpacking that. Then, we’ll look at a bullish stance on driving BTC to new heights in 2025, before moving on to a landmark tax case in which a Texan is ordered to hand over his private keys and seed phrases. Finally, we’ll see how a trader turned $2,000 into $3.2 million in just 10 hours, and it wasn’t with a memecoin!

Bitcoin blasted back into the six-figure price range on Dec. 6 and US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a near-billion dollar day of inflows. Still, is the bull market entering its final stage, as one CryptoQuant contributor predicts? And what might a post-bull market look like? JPMorgan wrote in a recent investor note that the Bitcoin debasement trade is here to stay, after all. Finally, we’ll look at Federal Reserve Bank regulator Michael Barr stepping down and how the crypto industry
asserted "Operation Chokepoint 2.0" may be collapsing.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Rise’n’Crypto podcast! It’s going to be a massive 2025 for crypto and we’re off to a strong start. Despite a clear absence of retail investors since the holidays, BTC’s price is performing well. That may be due to spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, which had almost a billion dollars of inflows on Friday! Elsewhere, the “Trump Effect” is already visible with Ripple moving 75% of its job openings to the US and Dogecoin pumping as whales buy huge amounts of the original memecoin. So, grab yourself a coffee and let’s get into it!
