Editorial
Market commentary, product updates and considered reading for Australian crypto traders. Written by the Wayex team: no clickbait, no filler.
August ended with Bitcoin's best month since 2017. September opened with a geopolitical shock, a cartoon character on the chart, and a 21-bank stablecoin commitment that changes the competitive landscape for crypto-native issuers permanently.
By Christophorus Mualim
August was Bitcoin's best month since 2017, with a 25% gain driven by Treasury buybacks, a historic short squeeze, and record ETF inflows. While the market rallied, Strategy raised US$2 billion and didn't buy a single Bitcoin.
By Christophorus Mualim
Bitcoin briefly hit US$70,000 (AU$98,700) this week. Trump pushed the Clarity Act at a White House summit. VanEck says the correction may be nearing its end. And ASIC warned that AI scams are now sophisticated enough that even scrutiny cannot catch them.
By Christophorus Mualim
Goldman Sachs bought its way into Bitcoin ETFs. The Bank of England tested stablecoins. Russia drew its crypto whitelist, and AUSTRAC shut down the largest crypto ATM network in Australia.
By Christophorus Mualim
The self-custody debate stopped being theoretical this week. US$114 million in Bitcoin drained from Coldcard wallets, Ethereum researchers proposed the most ambitious change to its monetary policy since the Merge, and Jim Cramer gave the crypto community its most entertaining contrarian signal in months. Here is what actually happened.
By Christophorus Mualim
The Clarity Act missed its window. Bitcoin quietly outperformed everything. Morgan Stanley launched staking products for the most conservative investors in the world. And the exchanges that never built for compliance are now closing one by one. A week that separated the industry's past from its future.
By Christophorus Mualim
The Clarity Act finally has an ethics provision. Whether it has enough votes is still the question, and the Senate leaves town on August 7. Meanwhile, Franklin Templeton made the clearest institutional case yet for why AI agents need blockchain, Tesla absorbed a US$112 million Bitcoin loss without selling a coin, and a US$25 million romance scam forfeiture reminded everyone what's at stake when crypto goes wrong.
By Christophorus Mualim
A bill, a bottom, a government wallet, and a blockbuster takeover bid. This week had more moving parts than most, and almost all of them connect back to the same question: who gets to control the future of digital money?
By Christophorus Mualim
A public feud between two crypto CEOs uncovered a terms of service clause that classified customer deposits as a sale of funds to the company. Trump called himself a big crypto guy and Bitcoin moved 2%. Vanguard, the last major institutional holdout on crypto, posted a head of digital assets job listing.
By Christophorus Mualim
US$1.4 billion in presidential crypto income, a stablecoin market that changed overnight, and nearly 1,700 investors in a London courtroom. This week asked hard questions about power, profit, and who pays the price.
By Christophorus Mualim
Bitcoin dipped below US$60,000 (AU$87,031.56), the Clarity Act hit an unexpected political wall, and the Ethereum Foundation restructured itself in ways the industry still cannot agree on. Australia's Travel Rule kicks in on July 1. Meta wants to bet on everything. A week that was dispiriting on price and genuinely consequential on everything else.
By Christophorus Mualim
The market found something to celebrate this week. A war paused, a token hit records, and the race to tokenise everything just got serious. Here is what actually matters.
By Christophorus Mualim
Two weeks of red, a USD$2.3 billion (AU$3.28 billion) conflict-of-interest investigation, SBF filing for a pardon with a straight face, and an AI model that briefly sent DeFi Twitter into a spiral. Underneath all of it, some serious voices are still making the case for what this industry looks like when it grows up. Let's get into it.
By Christophorus Mualim
Bitcoin is down around US$63,000 (AU$88,360), Strategy shares have shed more than 15% in five days, and the fear is real. But before the red charts make your decisions for you, the sharper analysts this week are saying something worth hearing: this is not a crash, it is a momentum problem. Let's get into what that actually means.
By Christophorus Mualim
Seven days. Six stories. One week that captured everything this industry is right now: the promise, the risk, the drama, and the loss.
By Christophorus Mualim
