A strategic crypto reserve for the U.S. economy? That's Trump's latest proposal (or directive?)—and the reaction from the industry has been… let's just say, mixed. Would it even work? And does it create more problems than it solves? Meanwhile, the White House is hosting a crypto roundtable—but not everyone is convinced it's going to be productive. Who will be in the room, what will actually be discussed, and will it help or hurt the industry? On this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts James Seyffart and Noelle Acheson together with guests Steve Hou and Steven Ehrlich break it all down. Will tariffs and macro factors keep weighing on crypto? What's driving the explosion in new ETFs? And what happens if banks start issuing their own stablecoins? Plus: What could be the real next catalyst for the crypto market. Show highlights: 6:13 - Whether a strategic crypto reserve makes sense for the U.S. 14:50 - How this reserve could actually give people outside of crypto second thoughts 24:37 - What the Crypto Roundtable will be about and whether it's what the industry wanted 27:32 - Whether David Sacks is directing the reserve allocations so as to personally benefit 32:07 - Why Noelle was surprised after the SEC stated memecoins are not securities 42:22 - James' insights into the avalanche of altcoin ETFs 47:10 - The significance of BlackRock adding IBIT to its model portfolio 54:02 - How macro news drove risk assets to such a selloff on Monday 58:12 - Why the 10YT is such a significant chart to watch 1:10:21 - Whether the war in Ukraine is coming to an end 1:16:20 - What the next catalyst for crypto is 1:19:07 - Whether stablecoins are a good business for banks Thank you to our sponsors!

Subscribe to our newsletter! https://unchainedcrypto.beehiiv.com/subscribe Trump's new wave of tariffs has reignited the debate: Are they good for the economy or a disaster waiting to happen?

Bitcoin's 2024 rally has been explosive, but is the next phase just beginning? In this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts Noelle Acheson, Ram Ahluwalia, and Alex Kruger are joined by Ledn's Mauricio di Bartolomeo to unpack the forces shaping the crypto market as the year comes to a close. Mauricio explains how Ledn has grown amidst regulatory and economic shifts, and shares insights on why the “Trump put” is creating a new trading setup for crypto. The panel dissects the undercurrents behind Bitcoin's surge, explores how MicroStrategy's presence on the NASDAQ creates unique market dynamics, and debates how much higher BTC could climb. But they warn not to expect “buy” ratings on MSTR. Plus, they dive into why Solana underperformed in recent weeks, how Bitcoin enables capital flight (and how they may be happening from China), and what 2025 could hold for crypto. Packed with data, opinions, and a few book recommendations (well, except from Alex), this episode offers sharp analysis as 2024, a pivotal year for crypto, wraps up. Show highlights: Mauricio's background and how Venezuela's regime led him to crypto How Ledn works and how it's seen substantial growth since the elections What's driving this wave of growth in the price of bitcoin How much higher BTC will go and what the effects of the end-of-year portfolio rebalancing will be What the risks are for the U.S. economy How BTC is the easiest way to trade the Trump bump Whether the Chinese macro matters for crypto How MicroStrategy has become a Trojan horse Why Alex likes XRP and ENA and why SOL has been underperforming recently 2024 wrap-up: what everyone was most surprised about Book recommendations from everyone, except Alex, who's only focused on shitcoins Hosts: Noelle Acheson, Author of the “Crypto Is Macro Now” Newsletter Alex Kruger, Founder of Asgard Ram Ahluwalia, CFA, CEO and Founder of Lumida Guest: Mauricio di Bartolomeo, cofounder & CSO of Ledn Links Unchained: Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High MicroStrategy Joins Nasdaq-100, Expanding Bitcoin Exposure to Billions Trump's Crypto Project Spent Nearly $45M Onchain in 2 Weeks FTX Distributions to Start in Under 2 Weeks Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:38 Mauricio's journey from Venezuela to crypto 07:37 How Ledn thrived post-elections and saw major growth 15:16 Key drivers behind Bitcoin's explosive rally 20:30 How high could BTC climb – and might year-end rebalancing affect the price? 25:22 Risks facing the U.S. economy heading into 2025 32:47 BTC as the go-to trade for the Trump bump 36:13 The significance of Chinese macro trends for crypto 47:32 MicroStrategy's role as a Trojan horse for Bitcoin adoption 53:20 Why Alex likes XRP and ENA, but SOL is lagging 1:02:35 Biggest surprises from 2024's crypto market 1:06:33 Book picks from everyone—except Alex, who's all about shitcoins Learn more about your ad choices.

They also explore Jerome Powell's and Putin's takes on Bitcoin, the controversial CBOE withdrawal of the Solana ETF filing, and the role of Bitcoin in geopolitics.

In this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts James Seyffart, Noelle Acheson, and Ram Ahluwalia are joined by Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, to discuss the surprising mainstream buzz around XRP's latest rally, dubbed the “most hated rally in crypto.” They also analyze the new Treasury Secretary's ambitious economic plan and what it could mean for inflation, fiscal discipline, and market stability. Meanwhile, Ethereum struggles to reclaim its narrative as the go-to blockchain, even as its ETH/BTC ratio shows signs of life. And in a moment that captures the personal side of crypto's rise, the team reflects on Thanksgiving table conversations, where bitcoin and digital assets became unexpected stars.
