This eleventh episode of DAD: Digital Asset Digest dives headfirst into one of the most unpredictable weeks of 2025 where meme coins, macro players, and regulatory chess moves collided in spectacular fashion.

Our hosts open with Bitcoin’s wild ride between $96K and $107K, unpacking Michael Saylor’s latest 4,980 BTC purchase and what it signals for institutional conviction. We then turn to Trump’s headline-grabbing “American Bitcoin” project, which raised $220M, stirring debate about legitimacy, political optics, and market influence. The discussion shifts to Circle’s bold push into full-service banking, Aptos Labs’ regulatory milestone at the CFTC, and how these moves blur the line between crypto-native and traditional finance.

We close by tracking Ethereum’s rebound toward $2,567, Solana’s quiet strength in the $119–$151 band, and XRP’s steady post-litigation climb before wrapping with our weekly alpha picks and a pragmatic take on what’s signal vs. noise in today’s market.
