In June, CleanSpark’s operational hashrate soared to a staggering 50 EH/s, up from 20.4 EH/s a year earlier, marking a 145.1% leap in mining capacity. This is no small feat, especially considering the current climate. Last month, the company mined 685 BTC, worth a cool $74.2 million at current prices, compared to 445 BTC mined in June 2024. EH/s, for the uninitiated, stands for exa hash per second, a measurement of computational power that might as well be the digital equivalent of a superpower. 🦸‍♂️

What’s causing this? Congress, in all their infinite wisdom, just slapped a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase on us. Five. Trillion. You know, just a casual cosmic-sized IOU. Now the Treasury is about to go ham refilling their big piggy bank at the Fed—the Treasury General Account. They’ve been draining it to juice up the system, and now, surprise, they’re gonna suck it dry again. Did anyone even ask if we wanted that?

As of today, FUNToken is trading at a modest $0.0100, with a 24-hour trading volume that’s not too shabby at $12 million. The market cap? A cool $110 million. These numbers might not make you jump out of your chair, but they do suggest that FUNToken isn’t just a flash in the pan. The community is growing, and the quarterly updates keep the excitement alive. It’s like a well-maintained garden, where the flowers are blooming, and the weeds are kept at bay. 🌸🌱

On that fateful Monday of July 7, Ripple (XRP) was holding its breath at a regal $2.20—a half-hearted cheer for a price that, despite being 22% above the dismal depths of June, feels a bit like being the tallest kid in kindergarten. 😒

In a recent post on the X social media network, CZ urged potential investors to avoid the nascent asset class if their goal is to get rich quick. “If you want to get rich quick, don’t touch (and blame) crypto,” he told his 10 million followers.

Once more, Bitcoin flirts with the tantalizing specter of its all-time highs, as the illustrious Merlijn The Trader, a soothsayer of our times, unfolded a tapestry of technical charts on social media. He proclaims — with bravado akin to that of a town crier — that Bitcoin has embarked upon its third glorious parabolic phase, setting its course for dizzying heights, perhaps even in the unpredictable year of 2025.

Meanwhile, in a most unfortunate turn of events, shares of Tesla have sunk a staggering 7.2% as the feud between Elon Musk and President Trump reaches new heights 🚀. The tech CEO, never one to shy away from controversy, has announced the creation of the “America Party”, a new political party designed to take on the President and the Republicans 🎉.

Fuelled with the sort of reckless bravado one expects from someone betting the family dacha on a single hand of faro, Bit Digital poured $172 million (from a public offering, no less!) and the roasted remains of 280 Bitcoin into a fresh mountain of Ether. This they disclosed, with a poker face, on a perfectly ordinary Monday—because why not?

Despite the recent commotion from long-standing holders disposing of over 500,000 BTC—equivalent to more than $50 billion (ah, how thrilling for the perennially curious)—the Bitcoin price remains positively stoic above the momentous $108,500 mark. This resilient demeanor is decidedly due to the institutional eagles circling, ravenously absorbing the excess supply like Kardashians at a boutique clearance sale.
