The basics, in plain English

Why does a central bank comment move crypto?

Because digital assets trade as long-duration risk. When the expected path of interest rates shifts, the discount applied to every speculative asset shifts with it, usually before any crypto-specific news lands.

What is indirect crypto exposure?

Owning shares in companies that hold or earn from crypto - exchanges, miners, treasury companies - rather than the assets themselves. Large institutions often hold far more of it than their direct positions suggest.

What should you read in an exchange's earnings?

Split trading revenue from everything else. Trading income tracks volatility and falls in quiet markets; custody, staking and subscription income tells you whether the business works when nothing is happening.
