This latest purchase brings BlackRock’s total BTC holdings to a whopping 702,000, making them one of the largest Bitcoin holders globally. And, might I add, they’re giving those crypto bros at MicroStrategy and Binance a serious run for their money. 💸

This September, the #Hashed folks are throwing a shindig in Seoul. Think “blockchain Spring Fling meets G20”—if the attendees remembered their crypto-wallets but forgot their sense of humor. The EastPoint:Seoul 2025 gathering, exclusive enough to make you question your self-worth, is corralling everyone from traditional bankers (who still pronounce ‘NFT’ like it rhymes with ‘giraffe’) to global tech giants who probably just want the free lanyards.

Market activity over the past 24 hours showed that XRP maintained its upward momentum despite some pesky selling pressure. Most investors are still holding on tight, betting on a long-term win. 🤑

This isn’t a new number for Keiser, he’s been shouting it from the rooftops for over a decade, but now he’s put a deadline on it, which is basically like putting a ticking time bomb on the market’s attention span ⏰. Especially since Bitcoin is currently rallying like a teenager on a sugar high with no clear resistance ahead 🤪.

This move, as grand as the opening of a new chapter in a novel, was but another step in Binance’s relentless march to expand its derivatives platform, a platform that, like a grand chessboard, attracts traders from all corners of the globe, each seeking the thrill of high-risk, high-reward exposure to the emerging altcoins. 🌍🎲

On the fateful day of July 9, RCADE was officially listed on Binance Alpha, Binance’s early-access listing portal, marking the token’s TGE. It was quickly followed by spot listings on Gate.io, KuCoin, Bithumb, and Bitget. Despite the high-profile rollout, RCADE faced the cruel hand of the market, which, as we all know, has a penchant for dramatic entrances and exits. 🎭

Now, here’s the twist that’s got folks scratching their heads—Pi’s secret weapon may not be in some flashy coin, but rather in the mysterious and somewhat elusive world of artificial intelligence. Who knew? While the price of Pi may be doing its best impression of a sloth on a lazy Sunday, over 12,000 AI-related app proposals have been sent into the Pi App Studio. That’s right, folks—hidden under that dust is a spark of something big. Pi’s developers might be planning to cook up something more substantial than a limp salad. 🥗🤖

The mighty Solana, trying to break through that ever-elusive resistance zone between $155 and $165, has been doing its best impression of a fish stuck in an invisible net. Consolidating just below the critical moving averages, as if it knows the bulls are pacing in anticipation. The timing is suspiciously perfect. Technically speaking, the poor thing has been pulling back from its June lows, making higher lows like a determined (albeit slightly confused) overachiever trying to keep up with the high school cool kids. And volume? Well, it’s there. Kind of. But it’s got all the enthusiasm of a lukewarm cup of tea.

Apparently, the breach was first detected on June 23, 2024, but Bitcoin Depot kept it on the down-low for over a year, citing “federal procedures” and “law enforcement investigations” as the reason for the secrecy. Because, you know, it’s not like customers have a right to know when their data has been compromised or anything. 🙄

Fidelity’s FBTC is trotting along behind—adorable—with $12 billion in inflows. Cute. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s GBTC has taken “negative equity” as a lifestyle. It’s hemorrhaging money like someone tried to pay rent in Monopoly dollars—$23 billion out the window, to be precise. (Don’t worry Grayscale, we’ve all made regrettable financial decisions. Some of us just didn’t press release them.)
