July 3: Stablecoins Keep Winning, Tokenization Expands, and the CBDC Debate Isn't Over

Craig Cobb: Sit on Your Hands Until the Market Gives You an Edge
Craig Cobb says Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are still bearish, but too messy to trade aggressively right now. He explains why last week’s $65,000 Bitcoin rejection offered a clean short setup, but current price action has become choppy, sideways, and lower-probability.Craig also highlights the U.S. Dollar Index as a major risk signal, arguing that a stronger dollar could continue pressur

June 25: Bitcoin Breaks Down but Stablecoins Keep Winning
Bitcoin remains under pressure as another $469 million flows out of spot Bitcoin ETFs, pushing cumulative ETF demand to its weakest level since July 2025. Matt breaks down why institutional money continues leaving the market, what it means for Bitcoin's short-term outlook, and why history suggests long-term investors may still want to keep emotions in check despite growing fear.The episo
June 24: Why I'm Skeptical of Stablecoin Power
Crypto markets remain under pressure as Bitcoin hovers around $61,000, but signs are emerging that volatility may be cooling.

Craig Cobb: The Dollar Is Rising, Bitcoin Is Stalling, and Bears Still Have the Edge
Craig Cobb focuses this week on a market many crypto investors overlook: the U.S. Dollar Index. After breaking above major resistance around the 100 level, Craig believes the dollar may be beginning a larger move higher toward 106. Historically, stronger dollar environments have created pressure for equities and other risk assets, leading him to question whether Bitcoin could face another leg lowe

Matt opens the show with a Father's Day recap, a local car show, and a reminder that some classic American cars still turn heads decades later.

Kevin Warsh held rates steady but surprised markets by signaling that rate hikes remain on the table, with nine of eighteen Fed officials now projecting at least one increase this year as inflation concerns persist. Matt also examines why Strategy's preferred stock falling below its target value could create challenges for the company's Bitcoin acquisition machine, and why a stronger U.S. dollar c
CRAIG COBB: BITCOIN SMASHES THROUGH SUPPORT AS BEARS TAKE CONTROL
Craig says Bitcoin did exactly what he expected, breaking below the critical $74,000 support level and quickly falling through $65,000. He believes both the weekly and monthly charts now confirm a downtrend, with lower highs and lower lows pointing toward the possibility of further downside before a true bottom is established. While he's not trying to predict the exact low, Craig says he'd become
June 17: Elon, SpaceX, Stablecoins, and the Trillion-Dollar Question
Matt opens the show by examining the SpaceX IPO frenzy and the staggering scale of Elon Musk's reported trillion-dollar net worth, arguing that most people underestimate the difference between millions, billions, and trillions.

June 16: Damn SPCX, BlackRock Launches Bitcoin Income ETF
Matt opens the show discussing the ongoing SpaceX IPO frenzy, admitting a serious case of FOMO as the stock surged from its $135 allocation price to over $200 in just a few days.

SpaceX officially debuted on public markets, and Matt discusses how several Daily Crypto News listeners successfully traded the IPO while asking whether the stock's long-term potential justifies its massive valuation.

Today we cover the continued institutionalization of crypto as BlackRock moves closer to launching a Bitcoin income ETF, Japan advances legislation that could pave the way for crypto ETFs, and the CFTC proposes new oversight rules for prediction markets. We also examine the rapid growth of real-world asset tokenization, which has now reached nearly $29 billion, alongside a stablecoin market that h
June 10: CPI Risk, AI Stock Weakness, Botanix Shutdown
Bitcoin remains under pressure as investors await the latest CPI report, with economists expecting inflation to rise to 4.2% year-over-year and core inflation approaching 3%.

June 9: Is SpaceX Draining Liquidity From Crypto?
After a week away in New York, Matt returned to Daily Crypto News with a simple observation: Bitcoin at roughly $62,000 does not inspire confidence when it was trading near $85,000 just a month ago.

CRAIG COBB: BITCOIN’S BEARISH TREND IS STILL INTACT
Craig Cobb says the market continues to look overwhelmingly bearish, and from his perspective, the recent price action has only reinforced that view. While many investors disappear when prices fall, Craig says these are the periods that get him most excited because they create opportunities for long-term accumulation. Having remained largely in cash throughout the downturn, he is now watching clos

Craig Cobb Warns: Bitcoin At A Critical Level
Craig Cobb says Bitcoin is approaching a critical moment after last week’s sharp volatility tested one of the most important support zones on the chart. The recent selloff bounced almost perfectly off the old $74,000 breakout level from late 2024, the same area where Bitcoin first launched toward $100,000 after President Trump’s election victory. That bounce helped stabilize the weekly structure a

Bitcoin Is Running — But the Market Isn’t
Craig’s read right now is pretty straightforward: Bitcoin is still trending higher, printing higher lows and higher highs, but the move doesn’t feel clean or broadly supported. He calls it a “hated rally” — price is moving up, but without strong conviction across the market. The weekly action was messy, volatility spiked, and while Bitcoin has pushed to new highs in this recent leg, he’s watching

Four Weeks Up… But Is This Still a Downtrend?
Craig says Bitcoin is at another critical inflection point after a strong four-week run to the upside, something he hasn’t seen since a true bull phase.

The $74K Line That Decides Everything
Craig lays it out pretty clean: Bitcoin is sitting at a make-or-break level around $74,000, and what happens here likely dictates the next real move. That level used to be major resistance before the last breakout, and now we’re coming back to test it from above. If it holds and we get continuation, you could see a push toward $80K and potentially higher highs. If it fails, we’re likely heading ri

April 13: World Liberty Financial Scam
Matt opens by cutting through the noise. Bitcoin is still sitting in the $70K range, Ethereum around $2,100, and the total market cap hovering near $2.4 trillion. In his view, the market itself hasn’t meaningfully changed, despite the constant swings in sentiment between fear and hype. What has changed is the underlying behavior around the space — and that’s where the real story is.He hi

CRAIG COBB: MACRO PRESSURE BUILDING — AND CRYPTO STILL LOOKS WEAK
Craig’s view hasn’t changed, but the macro backdrop is starting to catch up to it. With rising geopolitical tension tied to President Trump’s latest deadlines and threats, alongside crude oil ripping higher, he’s expecting a highly volatile stretch across global markets. And in his framework, that matters directly for crypto. Bitcoin is still behaving like a liquidity-driven risk asset, not a hedg

Regulatory momentum from March
CRAIG COBB: BITCOIN STILL FAILING WHERE IT MATTERS
Craig’s not getting sucked in by a single green candle. Yeah, Bitcoin finally put in a strong week, up over 10%, but to him, that’s just one candle. That’s not a trend. And more importantly, it’s happening right into a level that already matters — old resistance turned support, now acting as resistance again. That same level also lines up with where the monthly trend broke. So this isn’t strength.
