About this episode

The episode discusses Bitcoin's stability, Tether's proposed merger, and the loss incurred by Wasabi Protocol.

Bitcoin holds near $77K ahead of the Fed decision as rising Treasury yields and oil prices create caution, while Dogecoin surges 10% on technical strength. Tether proposes a major merger with Strike and Elektron, Eric Trump calls this Bitcoin’s “greatest period ever,” and Wasabi Protocol loses $4.5M in an admin key compromise. Germany expands euro stablecoins to Solana, South Korea’s Shinhan Card tests tokenization, and trading volume drops to multi-year lows — markets remain defensive with focus on Fed signals, institutional moves, and security incidents.
