256 - Crypto Is Taking Over Finance: JPMorgan, AI Money & The Tokenization Fight
If you ever doubted crypto was making its way into mainstream finance, this week might just change your mind.🏦 The bank whose boss famously called Bitcoin a fraud is now putting its own digital dollars on public Ethereum.🤖 Mastercard is opening the door for AI agents to make payments using stablecoins.📈 And some of America's biggest companies are fighting to stop their own shares from being tokenised.So, we've got banks embracing blockchain, machines getting ready to spend money, and companies asking, "Hang on a minute, who said you could trade OUR shares?"Welcome to Crypto Curious, brought to you by the Bamboo App. I'm Tracey, and Blake is off this week, so I'm delighted to welcome back a friend of the show. He joined us for our monster rally episode back in August, manages digital assets for a living, and has known me and my husband for about 35 years — which means he's got plenty of stories he probably shouldn't tell!Ben Ritchie, welcome back and let's get into it! 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:40 JP Morgan backflip on crypto!

255 - Richard Heart Arrested, Banks Busted & AI Goes Rogue
Crypto had a week. And then some...💎 Richard Heart: from crypto showman to custody: The flamboyant founder of HEX has been detained in Istanbul, with authorities reportedly seizing millions in cash, crypto wallets, firearms and enough designer bags to stock a boutique. We look at the allegations, the legal battle ahead and what it means for HEX holders.🏦 Debanking wasn't just a conspiracy theory: For years, crypto businesses said banks were cutting them off without clear explanations. Now, a review by America's banking regulator has found restrictive policies at all nine of the major banks it examined. We unpack what the findings actually say, why they matter and what happens next.🤖 When AI decides to spend someone else's crypto: An OpenAI model reportedly found and used someone else's wallet to access test crypto after its usual funding options failed. No real funds were lost, but the behaviour raises a much bigger question: what happens when AI agents have access to real money?Plenty to unpack, and as always, brought to you by Bamboo.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:00 The big character of Richard Heart unravels...6:13 Operation Chokepoint 2.0??9:28 AI agent spends crypto that was not its own12:10 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?

254 - AI, spy wallets & 82 million digital dollars
Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, brought to you by the Bamboo App.If you're new to crypto, check out our early episodes, where we break down the basics and help you get your head around the crypto world.Big week in crypto. And this time, the question is whether AI could crack the encryption protecting our crypto wallets — years before quantum computers were expected to pose a threat. An Ethereum researcher has warned the industry to prepare for “bunker mode”, and Vitalik Buterin has weighed in. So, how worried should we actually be?Then, a hardware wallet horror story. Devices sold through an official Ledger reseller allegedly had hidden spy modules inside, with around $87 million in crypto linked to the suspected attack. It's a reminder that sometimes the biggest security risk isn't the technology itself, but who you trust to supply it.And finally, a sign of just how mainstream crypto payments could become: Samsung is bringing USDC transfers to around 82 million eligible Galaxy phones in the US. No separate crypto app required.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:03 The AI overlords are coming for your crypto!5:50 Ledger hardware wallets take a reputational hit.9:51 And a good news story - stablecoins are going mainstream13:00 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?

253 -💥BONUS EPISODE : He built 1inch in a weekend. What happened next?
This week, we’re joined by Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch and one of the early builders in DeFi.Sergej built the first version of 1inch at a hackathon in New York over a single weekend in 2019. Before crypto, he worked as a security engineer in Germany, including at Porsche. Now he’s launched Aqua, a shared liquidity layer designed to tackle one of DeFi’s biggest problems: fragmented and underused liquidity.We talk about the weekend that started 1inch, building through multiple crypto cycles, why so much liquidity sits unused, and what Aqua is trying to change. We also get into self-custody, the growing relationship between DeFi and traditional finance, and where Sergej thinks the industry is heading next.A fascinating conversation with someone who has been building in DeFi from the very beginning.Let's get into it 🚀****Talking Points:→ The hackathon that started 1inch→ Leaving a career in security engineering for crypto→ Building through multiple market cycles→ Why so much DeFi liquidity sits unused→ What Aqua is actually trying to change→ Why self-custody matters for liquidity providers→ And where Sergej thinks DeFi is heading next****Show notes:1inch1inchaqua1inch on XCurious about our app?

252 - Uptober: Banks Go Onchain, Blockchains Go Offline
This week we've got a pretty good snapshot of where crypto is heading, because while the banks are finally getting serious about blockchain, some of the blockchains that promised to change finance are discovering that staying alive is actually quite difficult.First up, SWIFT; the system that moves money between pretty much every bank on Earth, has switched on its own blockchain ledger, with 17 major banks already piloting it. And yes, there's a very familiar Australian name in that group.Then we've got Blast. A blockchain that once had more than $2.3 billion locked on it is shutting down, with users given just three weeks to get their money out. At its peak it was making millions a month. Last month it made $1,793.And finally, Tether is facing some pretty uncomfortable questions from the US Senate, with an investigation claiming USDT has become a major tool for Iran to get around sanctions. Tether, unsurprisingly, has some things to say about that.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:58 Swift - the plumbing of global crypto finance - switches on its blockchain7:09 Blast announces it's shutting down9:22 Tether gets super uncomfy!!!12:02 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?

251 - The $387M Hack, Stocks on Aave & Europe's Digital Euro
Welcome back to the Crypto Curious.This week we've got 3 big stories to cover - starting with a $387 million attack on Bitget, allegedly linked to North Korean hackers — but the really interesting part might be what Bitget did next, and the crisis playbook it had ready to go.Then, your stocks just went DeFi. Coinbase's tokenized shares are now being accepted as collateral on Aave, bringing traditional assets directly into the world of decentralised lending. And finally, Europe is switching on the digital euro. The ECB has activated its first live system, with a 2029 launch target — and potentially some pretty big implications for how Europeans pay, move and hold money. So, we've got a crypto heist, Wall Street moving deeper into DeFi, and the euro getting a digital upgrade.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:33 Bitget get drained $387m5:39 Coinbase tokenized stocks are now LIVE!8:08 When everybody looked right, the birth of the digital Euro went left...12:26 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?

250 - Bitcoin's $85K Breakout, The AI Scam & DeFi's Wall Street Door
Before we get into this week's stories… we need to talk about Bitcoin, because the group chats are ON FIRE.Bitcoin has smashed through $85,000, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum up around 10% this week — and technical traders are getting very excited about what that breakout could mean.But while the charts are doing their thing, Washington has been having a slightly different kind of week.The big US crypto bill failed in the Senate… and within 48 hours, the regulators basically said, "Fine, we'll do it ourselves."We've also got a new AI scam where 224 people were tricked into deploying wallet-draining smart contracts themselves — proving once again that in crypto, sometimes the biggest threat is the person holding the wallet.And finally, DeFi is building a new door for the institutions. Aave wants Wall Street to be able to borrow against Bitcoin while keeping that Bitcoin safely tucked away with a regulated custodian.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS0:59 Blake calls it early4:34 The Clarity Act - we are over it but...7:44 Should we pump the AI brakes?9:44 DeFi - how do you get into it?12:34 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Radio Labs2-minute surveyCurious about our app?
