Can bitcoin cross $120K in this run? Bitcoin climbed higher on the back of a government shutdown and weaker-than-expected U.S. labor data. The largest crypto by market cap is flirting with the $120,000 level for the first time since mid August. This comes as the CME FedWatch predicts a 98.9% chance that the Fed will cut rates by 25 bps later this month. Will another cut boost BTC to a new high?

Web3 Academy: Exploring Utility In NFTs, DAOs, Crypto & The Metaverse
In this episode, we sit down with Alexander Cutler (Aerodrome) and Merlin Egalité (Morpho Labs) to unpack how Coinbase is plugging into DeFi rails letting millions of users borrow, lend, and trade onchain without ever touching a MetaMask wallet. Here's the twist: Coinbase doesn't own Morpho or Aerodrome. Yet, they're routing billions in volume through them, buying governance tokens, and earning revenue as if they built them. This is the hidden playbook that could define the next DeFi boom.~~~~~
Making a Scene - NFTs for Musicians: Beyond the HypeYou've heard the buzzword and seen the headlines. Here's the simple version, no tech talk. An NFT is a digital receipt that proves who owns a special version of something. That “something” can be your single, your album, a music video, a backstage pass, a signed vinyl voucher, or a bundle with all of the above. The receipt lives on a public database called a blockchain. Think of it like a global ledger that anyone can read but no one can secretly change. If a fan owns your NFT, the ledger shows it. If they transfer it to a friend, the ledger updates. That's it. Straightforward, public, and trackable. http://www.makingascene.org
Markus Söder - Depp oder Genie? Eigentlich der perfekte Mann für den neuen Bahnvorstand - Er baut Eisenbahn und will auch sonst ungern umsteigen, zum Beispiel auf neue Trinkflaschenverschlüsse. Aber warum hasst er Bayern so sehr? Warum jetzt Söder Kebab und trotzdem gegen Migration? Warum Burger und Cola Light und nicht Butterbrezen und Spezi? Und warum isst Bavarias Foodfluencer Nummer 1 nur Sachen wo kein Besteck involviert ist? Wir decken's auf in diesem monotheistischen Beitrag über seine Gottheit Markus Thomas Theodor Söder, den heimlichen Ministerpräsident von Helgoland.

Alles wartet auf Jackson Hole. Dort trafen sich gestern die US-Zentralbanker und berieten vor spektakulärer Bergkulisse über die künftige Zinspolitik. Was das für Krypto bedeutet und warum genau das den Bitcoin gerade ausbremsen könnte, diskutieren Julius Nagel und Florian Adomeit in dieser Folge von Alles Coin, Nichts Muss. Abseits davon haben die beiden jede Menge News im Gepäck: MetaMask launcht einen Token, der schon jetzt dazu verdammt scheint, auf der Stelle zu treten. LayerZero will den verlorenen Sohn namens Stargate zurück nach Hause holen, doch ein Wettbewerber könnte den Traum von der Reunion platzen lassen. Ein glücklicher Underdog gewinnt die Bitcoin-Mining-Lotterie, und die erste Treasury Company fliegt wegen Inkompetenz von der Börse. Apropos Fliegen: Zum Mond flog in dieser Woche auch der MemeCoin von Kanye West, legte aber kurz darauf eine heftige Bruchlandung hin. Währenddessen schnappt sich Heaven mit Tokenomics à la „Too Good to be True“ rund 40 Prozent des Launchpad-Marktes auf Solana.

Send us a textThe cryptocurrency onboarding experience remains a critical bottleneck for mainstream adoption, with the entire Web3 ecosystem claiming just 370 million monthly active users compared to Meta's staggering 3.9 billion. How do we bridge this massive gap?Harshit Gangwar, Head of Marketing and Investor Relations at Transak, joins us to reveal how they've built the infrastructure powering crypto purchases for millions through MetaMask, Ledger, Uniswap, and 450+ other applications across 100+ countries. With $2 billion in processed volume and backing from consensus, Visa, and Mastercard, Transak offers unique insights into building trust at the intersection of decentralized and traditional finance."Finding the right messaging and understanding in the early stages that it's going to be different and accepting that as a fact is very much important," Harshit explains as he unpacks their dual communication strategy. Web3 natives and traditional financial institutions require completely different approaches – from platform selection (Twitter vs. LinkedIn) to messaging tone and compliance considerations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Harshit reveals how Transak is evolving beyond simple crypto purchases to enable stablecoin-powered remittances and cross-border payments. By building the necessary infrastructure – including licenses, banking partnerships, risk engines, and KYC systems – they're creating real-world utility that even traditional financial institutions are beginning to recognize.For Web3 marketers, Harshit leaves us with a powerful reminder: "Marketers need to take that role in their companies to understand what's happening in the industry and drive real change." The most effective marketing leaders in this space aren't just creating content – they're deeply understanding both the technology and customer needs to help shape product direction and business strategy.Join us for this enlightening conversation about building trust, navigating regulation, and creating the infrastructure that will help bring the next billion users into Web3.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on June 18, 2025.

John Cho is Vice President of Partnerships at Kaia DLT Foundation, a non-profit organization established to accelerate the Kaia blockchain's global adoption and ecosystem maturity. Why you should listen Kaia is a mobile-first superapp that's rapidly becoming one of the most intriguing Web3 platforms to watch. Originally known as Klaytn, Kaia rebranded and repositioned itself in 2024 with a bold vision: make crypto invisible. By integrating blockchain seamlessly into daily mobile life, Kaia's goal is to onboard the next billion users without them even realizing they've crossed into Web3. And it seems to be working—Kaia has seen a staggering rise in on-chain activity, ranking second globally in daily active users. This momentum is largely fueled by its unique strategy: hosting Mini Dapps inside the app itself—think of them like mobile games or utilities that live inside a crypto-native superapp. But what makes Kaia different is it is open to third-party developers and fully committed to open-source gaming. That's a huge shift. Instead of locking users into a walled garden, Kaia is betting on community-driven innovation through Mini Dapps—lightweight, mobile-friendly, and composable little apps that make up the building blocks of the platform. These Mini Dapps allow users to explore DeFi, NFTs, and gaming with just a few taps, no wallet stress or MetaMask hurdles. On the financial infrastructure side, Kaia is moving quickly. It recently partnered with Tether to integrate USDT, and it's also driving the development of stablecoins pegged to the Korean won (KRW) and Japanese yen (JYP). This isn't just about payments—it's about enabling a stable, familiar financial layer inside a blockchain ecosystem. For users in Asia especially, being able to transact with stable, fiat-pegged assets makes the jump into Web3 feel a lot less risky and a lot more practical. Kaia isn't just building an app—it's building an economy, one mobile tap at a time.

In today's episode, we sit down with Nic Huntley, CEO of Blueprint Finance, who's building the infrastructure that could finally bridge traditional finance and onchain yield. We unpack what's really going on behind the scenes, the ETFs, the treasury strategies, and the hidden middleware that could funnel billions into DeFi without anyone even logging into MetaMask.~~~~~
If you are in crypto and use Metamask or Phantom wallet, you need to hear this. A new hack has been discovered that drmatically reduces gas fees, increases staking yields, and saves you time managing your portfolio. This project has solved a multi-billion $ problem and is about to onboard millions to their app with patented technology.
Liz Steininger is the CEO of Least Authority: a company which specializes in auditing open source software since 2014. Originally founded by Zooko Wilcox, Least Authority has conducted more than 100 security audits in the space. Some of the best known contractors who requested an expert review include the Ethereum Foundation, the Electric Coin Company, Metamask, the KeyStone hardware wallet, and Avalanche. Least Authority also builds products that make use of Zero Knowledge Proofs: PrivateStorage (a cloud storage system that's designed to make the host unaware of the files being stored), ZKAPs (Zero Knowledge Access Passes, an authorization system that separates the payer from the data on the items being bought), and Winden (a file-sharing service that's encrypted and requires no identity from the sender and receiver). In a space which often defers to "check the code, it's open source", companies such as Least Authority offer high quality verification which makes it easier for the average non-technical person to trust that something is safe.

TAC is a purpose-built blockchain for EVM dApps to access TON and Telegram Ecosystem's 1B+ user base. TAC makes it seamless for Ethereum dApps to be deployed on TON. EVM functionality and liquidity brought to the TON ecosystem enable builders to focus on consumer use cases.Marco Monaco, Co-Founder and Growth Lead at TAC, recently joined the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to talk about the technology. Marco discussed his work with TON, focusing on TAC's strategy to bridge the gap between TON's large user base and its relatively small developer community by creating an EVM-compatible layer-1 chain using a Cosmos SDK and integrating with Babylon's Bitcoin Security Network. A successful $370 million Summoning Campaign provided liquidity for the project, with a phased launch planned starting with a developer mainnet in May, followed by a token launch.(podcast player to appear here after publishing)Marco Monaco is the Co-Founder and Growth Lead at TAC.

$1.5 billion gone in an instant. And what's worse, to fund a nuclear weapons program. The largest crypto hack in history just hit Bybit, and the culprit is the infamous North Korean hacking group, Lazarus.
