CRYPTO 101
Legislation and Political Liquidity Signals
Tevo covers lawmakers returning, crypto bill drafts, and President Trump's tariff dividend tweet and its liquidity implications.

They highlight institutional confidence with major Bitcoin and Ethereum buys, new staking ETF guidance, and upcoming products like the XRP ETF and Coinbase launchpads. Amid humor and community chatter, the hosts track how cultural signals—from the McRib’s return to prediction market growth—reflect bullish energy across crypto. The episode closes with gratitude for veterans and excitement for year-end momentum.
