Bitcoin soared to new all-time highs as MicroStrategy led massive BTC buys, and BlackRock's ETF options hit $1.9B volume. Meanwhile, a 13-year-old executed a rug pull, sparking chaos and meme token wars.
On the regulatory front, SEC Chair Gary Gensler announced his resignation effective January 20, 2025, coinciding with President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. Trump teased a "Crypto Czar," while 18 states sued the SEC. Binance launched BFUSD with 19.55% APY, challenging Coinbase’s USDC yield.
Elsewhere, Solana reached new highs, McDonald’s partnered with Doodles, and Tether unveiled a tokenization platform. The crypto world remains as unpredictable as ever!

📣DONATE TO ROMAN’S CASE
https://juicebox.money/@defend-roman-stormTornado Cash developer Roman Storm faces decades in prison after being arrested last year for creating open-source privacy tools on Ethereum. His case could define whether code is speech, if developers are liable for bad actors, and if Americans have a right to digital privacy.
With the full force of the U.S. government against him, Roman’s trial this April is a pivotal moment for digital rights. Bankless has contributed $50k to his legal defense—this is about protecting privacy for all of us.
Roman Storm, alongside his lawyer, joins us to discuss The Tornado Cash case and what’s at stake.

What is Arthur Hayes buying for 2025?
We recorded this on the U.S election day so we don’t know who won at the time of recording. Regardless, Arthur says the election doesn’t matter. To him, the outcome is the same no matter who’s in power, they will print money.
We talk about the Chinese property bubble and the coming money cannon which Arthur thinks will be bigger than the COVID stimulus. The Fed’s next move, why the treasury is sucking all the oxygen out of the room. We get into his crypto portfolio, what he’s holding and why.

Anthony is here to bring us some clarity to all the noise that has been going around the ETH price these days. He answers the criticisms, gives us the bull case and tells us what’s next.

The collision between crypto and AI agents has officially begun. Matthew Stephensen of Pantera Capital research partner and author of “Crypto: Picks and Shovels for the AI Gold Rush,” joins us today.
We dive into the world of autonomous AI agents on blockchains, discussing the evolving role of agents, AI-driven market changes, and whether blockchain is the natural substrate for AI. Matt sheds light on topics from agent liability and regulatory challenges to infrastructure value capture and the "picks and shovels" approach to investing in AI-driven crypto tech.
Are AI agents on blockchains the obvious future? And how do scarcity and abundance interact in this new era? Join us as we tackle these questions and more, exploring what the future might hold at the intersection of AI, autonomy, and blockchain.
