242 - Bitcoin, Bali & Bad Decisions
This week feels less like a crypto podcast... and more like the script of a Netflix crime series.👉🏽 A night out in Bali ends with an Australian tourist allegedly losing $14,000 in crypto after handing over his unlocked phone to add someone on Instagram. But the story takes an extraordinary twist when it turns out the victim himself has been accused of some of crypto's most notorious scams.👉🏽 Then we farewell one of the industry's true pioneers. BitMEX, the exchange that invented perpetual futures, changed crypto trading forever, survived regulators, billion-dollar lawsuits and presidential pardons... is finally shutting its doors after 11 remarkable years.👉🏽 And finally, North Korea has done something nobody saw coming. The regime has reportedly arrested its own former military hackers after they allegedly stole from North Korea's own banks and laundered the money through cryptocurrency.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:58 Bali, beach club and a drained crypto wallet!5:20 BitMEX closes its doors10:20 North Korea plot twist12:30 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?

241 - Can Bitcoin Buy You A Home?
Welcome back to Crypto Curious. Joining us in the studio this week is a very special guest, James Coombes, Chief Commercial Officer at Block Earner. James has helped lead one of Australia's biggest crypto success stories, with Block Earner launching Bitcoin-backed home loans, securing its Australian Credit Licence and taking home the 2026 Finnies Award for Excellence in Consumer Lending.👉🏽 On the show today, we start by going behind the scenes at Block Earner to explore how Bitcoin-backed home loans actually work, what they've learnt navigating Australia's regulatory landscape, and why more Australians are choosing to put their crypto to work rather than sell it.👉🏽 Then we unpack a rare moment of humility in crypto, as the creator of Coinbase's Base network publicly admits he got a major strategy wrong, before handing the reins to one of the industry's most respected and influential voices, Cobie.👉🏽 And finally, remember Robinhood's new blockchain we spoke about last week? Well, the memecoin frenzy has already descended into fake wallet leaks, rug pulls and a spectacular collapse that raises some uncomfortable questions about where the industry still has work to do.It's a fascinating conversation that spans everything from regulated lending to crypto culture, and where this industry is really heading next.Let’s get into it 🚀TIMESTAMPS1:46 Block Earner turns 5!5:38 Will CGT changes incentivise more people to borrow against their crypto?7:00 Jesse Pollak falls short...and admits it publicly!12:12 Robinhood's cash cat??

240 - The Bitcoin Custody War
This week, we're looking at three stories that all ask the same question: who really controls the money?👉🏼 First, a crypto attacker walked away with $20 million from BonkDAO without hacking a single line of code. He simply bought enough voting power to pass a proposal that transferred the treasury to himself.👉🏼 Then we head to Washington, where America's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has stalled because two government departments are fighting over who gets to hold roughly $21 billion worth of Bitcoin.👉🏼 And finally, Interpol has uncovered a $122 million romance-scam laundering network linked to a 20-year-old crypto wallet, highlighting how blockchain investigators are becoming increasingly effective at tracing money across multiple chains.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:01 Bonk DAO's treasury gets hacked for $20m via vote stacking6:10 The March 2025 big promise locked in a turf war8:32 Interpol wraps Operation First Light 2026 - what even is it?11:13 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?

238 - The President. The Banks. The Blockchain.
I'm Blake, and Tracey is taking a well-earned break this week, but I'm joined by a very special guest co-host, Jonno Newman from TRM Labs.If you haven't come across TRM before, they're one of the world's leading blockchain intelligence firms, working with governments, law enforcement agencies and some of the biggest crypto businesses on the planet to investigate hacks, trace stolen funds and follow the money on-chain. Jonno, great to have you with us.And you've picked a fascinating week to jump in. 👉🏼 To begin with we dive into Jonno's world. TRM Labs has just released its latest global crypto crime report, revealing a record number of crypto hacks during the first half of 2026. But the biggest surprise isn't the number of attacks—it's how dramatically the tactics are changing, and why the blockchain itself is rarely the weakest link anymore.👉🏼 Then we turn to what could become one of the most significant stablecoin launches we've ever seen. More than 140 companies—including Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Stripe and Australia's own Commonwealth Bank—have joined forces to build a shared stablecoin. If it succeeds, it could reshape how money moves around the world.👉🏼 And finally, Donald Trump's latest financial disclosure, which revealed something almost nobody expected crypto has officially become his single biggest source of income, generated around $1.4 billion in 2025 and is raising some very big questions about transparency, regulation and the growing intersection between politics and digital assets.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:26 Jonno walks us through the H1 2026 crypto hacks report!8:07 OpenUSD launches with a massive guest list15:40 Donald Trump discloses enormous crypto profits - and no one's happy about it!17:45 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:H1 2026 ReportBitcoin MinorsYoutubeInstagram TikTok Curious about our app?

237 - God, Zuck & CZ Walk Into a Bar...
This week, we begin in Europe, where Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, is being forced to wind down services across parts of the European Union after failing to meet the region's new MiCA licensing requirements. It's one of the clearest examples yet of regulators saying that even the biggest names in crypto have to play by a new set of rules.Then we turn to an unlikely showdown. Nearly one hundred Catholic bishops and faith leaders have publicly opposed a major piece of US crypto legislation, arguing it could make human trafficking and financial crime harder to combat. It's a fascinating debate that goes well beyond digital assets and asks a much bigger question: where should innovation end and public responsibility begin?And finally, Mark Zuckerberg is back. Meta is reportedly building its own prediction markets platform, setting its sights on companies like Polymarket and Kalshi. Whether it's politics, sport or global events, prediction markets are quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing areas of crypto—and now one of the world's biggest technology companies wants a seat at the table.Let's get into it. 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:30 Crypto giant suspends services in parts of the EU4:37 The catholic church turns lobbyists!7:33 Zuck wants in on the prediction markets...11:34 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?

236 - Is Crypto Finally Going to the Moon?
This week, we're looking at three stories that all point to the same conclusion: crypto is becoming increasingly tied to the institutions it once claimed to replace.👉🏼 We start in Washington, where newly appointed Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has made his first major appearance — and markets didn't love what they heard. Expectations for interest rate cuts have been rapidly repriced, risk assets have come under pressure, and crypto investors are suddenly facing a very different macro environment than the one many expected at the start of the year.👉🏼 Then we head to Wall Street, where the biggest IPO in history has officially landed. SpaceX has debuted on the Nasdaq with more than 18,000 Bitcoin sitting on its balance sheet, instantly becoming one of the world's largest corporate holders of the asset. It's another sign that Bitcoin is no longer just a retail story — it's increasingly becoming part of corporate treasury strategy at the highest level.👉🏼 And finally, we bring it home to Australia. The government's new crypto licensing framework is fast approaching, but with the deadline almost here, reports suggest only a small fraction of local platforms are actually prepared. What happens next could shape the future of Australia's digital asset industry for years to come.Let's get into it. 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:08 Red candles thanks to Fed Reserve4:41 The single biggest IPO in history - SpaceX6:43 DECA conference talking points from Blake10:42 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?
