CBEX Vanishes. SEC Tightens Grip. and Trump’s Token Tanks | Crypto Rundown Weekly

This week’s crypto headlines are anything but quiet. In this episode, we break down the collapse of CBEX, a trading platform that disappeared with user funds across Nigeria and Kenya — just days after promising 100% returns using so-called AI-powered strategies. Regulators are now stepping in, and thousands of victims are left without answers. We also look at the $TRUMP memecoin, which just unlocked over 40 million tokens valued at more than $300 million. That move has put massive sell pressure on the token and sparked a fresh debate about insider rewards, political memecoins, and retail exploitation. Meanwhile, the SEC held a high-level meeting to explore new enforcement measures targeting crypto exchanges. From fee disclosures to trading execution, U.S. platforms may soon face a regulatory environment that looks a lot more like traditional finance — and that’s sending a signal to the entire industry. In a surprising twist, Bitcoin is back in the streets — literally. As political protests erupt across U.S. cities, protest groups are using BTC to raise funds and avoid surveillance. This isn’t about speculation — it’s about survival, censorship resistance, and a reminder of why Bitcoin was created in the first place. Finally, the Trump administration’s push to roll back crypto regulation is drawing scrutiny. New information links members of the Trump family to upcoming stablecoin projects, raising concerns about whether deregulation is serving innovation — or self-interest. If you want to stay ahead of the noise and understand what really matters in crypto each week, this is the episode for you. 📰 Stories Covered This Week – CBEX collapses, Nigerian regulators respond – $300M in $TRUMP tokens unlock, price crashes – SEC targets exchanges and trading infrastructure – Bitcoin used in U.S. protests for censorship-resistant funding – Trump deregulation push sparks conflict of interest debate 📌 Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and turn on notifications for weekly breakdowns of the most important stories in crypto. #CryptoNews #CBEX #Bitcoin #SEC #TrumpCrypto #CryptoScams #CryptoRegulation #CryptoPodcast #CryptoRundown #april2025 00:00 Introduction to Crypto Rundown Weekly 00:23 CBEX Trading Platform Collapses 01:23 $TRUMP Token Unlock and Market Impact 02:13 SEC Targets Crypto Exchanges 02:59 Bitcoin as a Protest Tool 03:44 Crypto Deregulation and Trump Family Involvement 04:26 Weekly Recap and Conclusion
