About this listen

We have one goal: to make sense of what actually moved markets this week and lay out what it means for tomorrow, for you. 
 Digital Asset Digest is meant to pay homage to a fundamental principle crypto markets thrive on - Volatility. For traders, it is their lifeblood. But what actually drives this fundamental shift in markets, every single day? That is what we want to help our DeFi traders figure out. From macro policy shifts to obscure governance votes, our job becomes to surface signals others miss and tell you why they matter.Chris and Marine ~ MC² Finance Politics & Government
Episodes
  • Week 5: What made DeFi move? | Binance, Monero & Trad-Fi
    May 19 2025

    This fifth episode of DAD: Digital Asset Digest offers a comprehensive look at a maturing but fast-moving crypto landscape from Bitcoin consolidation and institutional flows to major DeFi shifts and privacy coin momentum.

    Our hosts begin by analyzing Bitcoin’s steady performance around €104,000, the bullish €250,000 year-end prediction from analysts, and how macroeconomic conditions and sovereign fund activity continue to shape long-term sentiment. The conversation then turns to Coinbase’s inclusion in the S&P 500 which is a historic milestone tempered by security concerns following a significant breach.

    We also explore Binance Wallet’s growing dominance in the swap market, the DeFi centralization debate, and the contrasting paths of XRP and Monero. The episode closes with strategic developments from JPMorgan and PayPal, updates on tokenization platforms, and short-term market outlooks for Ethereum, Solana, Monero, and Chainlink.

    We also explore Solana’s rapid momentum toward €500, driven by meme coin volumes and ETF speculation, followed by Brazil’s major stock exchange launching Ethereum and Solana futures. The episode closes with sharp insights into institutional ETH withdrawals, AAVE’s 95% rally, and Polkadot’s renewed strength ahead of its upcoming parachain upgrade.

    May 5 2025

    This third episode of DAD: Digital Asset Digest delivers a timely overview of fast evolving stories in the crypto space from reserve strategies to stablecoin shifts.


    Our hosts begin by disclosing the rising global interest in holding Bitcoin as part of national reserves, a trend gaining traction amid economic uncertainty. They then explore recent regulatory adjustments in U.S. banking that signal a further softening stance toward crypto institutions.


    The discussion continues with an analysis of Bitcoin ETF inflows and their ripple effects across altcoins, especially Ethereum and Solana. We also touch on the implications of CME’s launch of XRP futures and Coinbase’s evolving strategy around PayPal’s stablecoin PYUSD, all signaling deeper institutional and retail integration across the digital asset stack.
