👉🏼 This week we’ve got a big one — Ethereum is smashing through an all-time high and everyone’s watching what happens next. We’ll break down what Jerome Powell’s latest speech means, and how QE could be fueling the momentum.


🦊 MetaMask is stepping up its game too, unveiling mUSD, a brand-new native stablecoin built to power its DeFi wallet — we’ll explore what that could mean for the ecosystem.


❓Finally, you’ve probably heard the phrase “local top” thrown around lately — but what does it actually mean, and how can you spot one? We’ll explain it in plain English.


But before that, have a special guest on the show while Trace is away - Ben Ritchie is the Managing Director of Alpha Node Global, a licensed Australian investment manager specialising in digital assets. With a background spanning Deloitte, ASX-listed companies, and global financial markets, Ben combines traditional finance expertise with a deep focus on cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation. He is also a strong advocate for investor education, regulatory clarity, and building bridges between traditional wealth management and the emerging digital economy.


Now let’s get into it. 🚀
