246 - Bitcoin Rips 22% - $64K to $80K in One Week26 Aug24 min

I'm Blake, and Tracey is taking a break this week, but you're not stuck with just me. We've got two great co-hosts joining us.

First, a returning favourite, seasoned digital asset investor Ben Ritchie is back on the show. And making his debut behind the mic, James Brannan.

And before we get into it, a quick favour: we'd love you to take our two-minute listener survey. Your feedback genuinely helps us make the show better, and there's a link in the show notes.

Now, Ben and James, you've picked quite a week to jump behind the mic.

Bitcoin has absolutely ripped. After months of grinding sideways and down, it jumped 22% in a single week, going from around $64,000 to almost $80,000 — its best week since 2023.

And this wasn't just one thing.

The US Treasury started pumping more liquidity into the market. Trump invited one of crypto's biggest offshore exchanges to come into America. And the SEC just proposed its first crypto-specific fundraising framework in 90 years.

So, what's actually going on? Let's get into it 🚀
