Inflation in the U.S. picked up pace in June, sending a ripple through global markets and crypto alike. According to the latest CPI data, consumer prices rose 0.3% month-over-month, up from 0.1% in May, and exactly in line with forecasts. It’s like the economy decided to break a sweat, just when we thought it was cooling off. 🤔💦

The almighty Consumer Price Index, that quaint little detail that guides the lost and weary, surged up by a rather alarming 2.7% compared to that same time last year, overshooting the cautiously optimistic prediction of 2.6%. The good folks at home were left scratching their heads—were they to celebrate or mourn over this arithmetic madness?

Function, formerly known as Ignition (because rebranding is like a mid-life crisis for companies), has thrown a party for this cash infusion. They even invited Antalpha and Mantle to dance along with Galaxy, who are also handing out favors for liquidity provisioning, governance, and making sure nobody spills their drinks on the carpet. 🍹

Rev+, as they call it, claims to be the very first of its kind—a protocol-level program that bequeaths developers, stablecoin creators, and the esteemed decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) a bounty based on the value they miraculously bestow upon unsuspecting users. It holds the promise of allowing projects to profit from the gas fees generated by those most curious blockchain applications. Perhaps even the dearly departed will rise from the grave for a share! 👻

The report, which analyzed performance data and user-access structures across leading centralized and decentralized launchpads from January to June 2025, found that centralized exchanges (CEXs) continue to dominate in token volume. However, they often favor users with deep pockets or staked holdings, leaving the rest of us mere mortals out in the cold.

The key (pun intended) issue here is the management of those oh-so-important crypto keys. Apparently, these little bits of code hold the power to decide whether you wake up to riches or… a headache. Lost your key? Well, you’re pretty much SOL unless you have a backup plan—or a very secure, non-custodial wallet. Cue dramatic music.

Now, the real juicy part isn’t the drop, it’s that oh-so-narrow volatility range ($2.82–$2.87) where trading volume has decided to throw a party. Analysts are practically drooling over this, saying it’s not just noise—nope, it’s a signal of high-volume players doing their thing while preparing for some bigger-than-you-thought move. Hold onto your wallets, people.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the listing of the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF on NYSE Arca. 

According to CoinWarz (and yes, that’s a real website, not where you go to war with your digital coins), the latest adjustment has put some serious pressure on our beloved miners. The “Difficulty” metric here is like that moody teacher who suddenly decides to make the exam a million times harder right when you think you’ve got it all figured out.

And so, in the spirit of inquiry, we turned to the wise and all-knowing Gemini, Google’s AI chatbot, to divine the future of $XRP. Lo and behold, the oracle spoke, and it was said that by the year 2025, the token might reach a technical target of $6.27. A figure that, when compared to its current price of $2.85, promises returns that would make even the most stoic investor crack a smile. 🤑
