MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Welcome back to the CryptoTwits Podcast — Jon Morgan and Joey Solitro kick things off with the realities of recording from home (kids, toys, and chaos), then jump straight into the week’s whipsaw: Bitcoin rallies near 76K, an ultimatum drops it to 68K, negotiations bounce it again, and now we’re stuck poking at resistance with a huge BTC options expiry on deck.
We run “capitulation station” liquidations across multiple days (mostly longs, then a wave of shorts), and then get into the bigger headline that smacked crypto equities: the Clarity Act drama around stablecoin yield and why the banking lobby is treating it like a “zombie apocalypse” for banks. We talk about the confusion, the fear-mongering, and the frustration that banks even have a “say” — plus the irony of credit unions asking to get into the stablecoin business.
From there, we hit the wild corners of crypto: Bitmine’s ETH buys, Strategy buys, why yield is becoming a massive battleground (including yield-bearing treasuries and tokenized assets), a Resolve Labs exploit where an attacker minted 50 million USR off a $100k USDC deposit, and why MEV/sandwich attacks make on-chain trading a minefield.
We close on why Hyperliquid and 24/7 decentralized derivatives are forcing the CME and big exchanges to rethink closing hours, what’s coming next (options expiry + Clarity Act markup timing), and the punchline of the week: gold getting smoked even with real-world war headlines — while crypto holds up better than anyone expected.
