Bitcoin is stuck. Crypto isn’t.

In this episode of The Daily Wolf, Scott Melker breaks down why the biggest crypto story right now isn’t Bitcoin’s price, but the explosion of new yield products, regulated crypto derivatives, tokenized assets, and financial infrastructure being built around digital assets.

The conversation explores the Bank of Japan, the Fed, BlackRock’s latest Bitcoin ETF, crypto perpetual futures, stablecoin yields, SpaceX mania, and why the future of crypto may look a lot more like traditional finance than traders expect.
