This week’s episode is all about a shift in power, from institutions stepping further into crypto, to global markets reminding us why Bitcoin exists in the first place.

👉🏼 First up, Wall Street makes another serious move into the industry. The New York Stock Exchange has taken a stake in a crypto exchange, while Kraken has just secured something even more surprising — access to a Federal Reserve bank account.

👉🏼 Then we look at one of Bitcoin’s biggest milestones yet. The network is about to mine its 20 millionth coin, leaving just one million left to be issued over the next century. It’s a moment that really highlights the long-term design behind the world’s most scarce digital asset.

👉🏼 And finally, we head to South Korea, where a sudden stock market crash wiped 20% off the KOSPI in just two days — while Bitcoin surged past $73,000, reminding investors exactly why some people see it as an alternative to the traditional system.

Wall Street moves in, Bitcoin scarcity tightens, and global markets wobble.

Let's get into it 🚀
