About this episode

Today, we’ve got a blockbuster lineup of news on Crypto Curious — so let’s get into it!

🚀 First up, Donald Trump just signed an executive order establishing a U.S. Bitcoin Reserve. Yep, you heard that right—America is making moves in the BTC game, and it could change everything from regulation to adoption.

🏛️ Meanwhile, the White House just hosted a Crypto Summit, bringing together top policymakers, industry leaders, and blockchain innovators. What went down behind closed doors, and what does it mean for the future of crypto in the U.S.?

💰 And finally, Coinbase is shaking things up with a bold move into tokenized securities, blurring the lines between traditional finance and the crypto world. Is this the bridge crypto needs to go mainstream?


Buckle up—it’s a big episode 💥
