Description: This week, the one, the only, Ryan Sean Adams makes his return to the Weekly Rollup and crypto, after a 90-day crypto detox to find a radically changed landscape. Ryan and David break down crypto’s shifting cycle, what Ryan missed, and Bitcoin’s dramatic decoupling from equities as it earns a strategic reserve in the U.S. Treasury. Meanwhile, Ethereum faces an existential pivot as it tries to reclaim lost ground against Bitcoin and Solana. Plus, Zora sparks heated debate with “content coins” amid new regulatory wins—and new fears of political corruption. Did crypto lose its soul chasing mainstream adoption, or is this the messy price of progress? It’s an essential Weekly Rollup you can’t afford to miss.------📣 WALLET CONNECT | ONCHAIN UX ECOSYSTEMhttps://bankless.cc/WalletConnect ------BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS:🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFihttps://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAINhttps://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORKhttps://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐SELF | PROVE YOUR SELFhttps://bankless.cc/Self 🏦INFINEX | THE CRYPTO-EVERYTHING APPhttps://bankless.cc/Infinex ------TIMESTAMPS & RESOURCES0:00 Intro0:47 Are we still in a bull market?3:01 Ryan’s unplugging 5:35 Ryan’s last 90-days https://x.com/ryansadams/status/1915115437505049055 24:50 Bankless’s choices moving forwardhttps://x.com/TrustlessState/status/1914312548897219006 32:58 Markets since Ryan’s break40:35 Trump’s memecoin 48:31 Bitcoin Strategic Reserve52:34 $LIBRA memecoin 1:03:29 Contentcoins, Zora, & Jesse1:16:39 Ethereum pivot & Bitcoin decoupling 1:18:18 Closing & Disclaimers------Not financial or tax advice.
