Blockchain security firms Lookonchain, PeckShield, and Scam Sniffer have been on the case, and they’ve traced the heist back to a phishing attack so sneaky, it could make a fox blush. The poor soul unknowingly signed a malicious transfer, draining their wallet of Aave-wrapped USDT (aEthUSDT). It’s like giving a thief the keys to your safe and saying, “Help yourself!” 😅
The report, which you can find at bitcointreasuries.net, reveals that the total holdings of all monitored entities-be they companies, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), governments, or funds-have reached a remarkable 3.64 million BTC by the end of the month. Public companies alone are hoarding 955,048 BTC, while their private counterparts clutch 292,364 BTC like a child with a favorite toy.
The Philippines, with its growing reputation as a crypto-friendly haven in Southeast Asia, and the possibility of Donald Trump gracing the summit with his presence, presents a rather intriguing tableau. It seems the stars are aligning for investors to explore emerging crypto projects-before they inevitably capture the world’s attention and perhaps the heart of Mr. Trump himself. 🤷♂️
After a pretty decent show towards the end of July, Dogecoin’s price decided to take a little holiday and dip to about $0.20. But don’t start throwing out your Doge memes just yet-these whales are biding their time, maybe plotting a comeback. Or just having a whale-sized fun. 🤔🧐
In this saga, the measure of altcoin hope starts, as all great Russian novels do, with a gloomy number: Bitcoin dominance. Once it basked at the lofty height of 66%-now it limps along, trailing a classic bear flag behind. The price, much like a fickle countess, teases with higher highs and lows, yet the end appears predestined: a likely breakdown, possibly sooner than you can say “Russian bear market.” The sturdy support at 60% waits below, an almost comforting threshold, while more hysterical whisperers tell ghost stories of a plunge to 57%. Where’s Pierre when you need him?
Bitcoin has reached celestial heights, soaring past $123K with all the grace of a drunken astronaut. Meanwhile, meme coins-those mischievous offspring of humor and greed-are poised to explode like fireworks at a wedding gone wrong. With their tantalizing promises of 7-10x gains (or total annihilation), they beckon traders like moths to a flame. Or perhaps more accurately, like degens to a casino buffet 🍕.
Strangely predictable, the dip followed a wave of profit-taking, because what’s the fun of having money if you can’t lose a little of it on the first heady highs? Just when you thought altcoins would stage a comeback worthy of their own motivational poster, the momentum fizzled out quicker than an expensive bottle of champagne at a bad wedding.
Announced dramatically via BDACS’s X account (because nothing says sophistication like social media) this Tuesday, the move grants these venerable institutions the keys to Ripple’s most coveted treasure-XRP-secured behind a fortress of enterprise-grade custody, because apparently, trust is overrated without a fancy password. 🔐✨
In a shocking display of financial wizardry-or maybe just a bad day-XRP shed about $5 billion in market cap over the last 24 hours, proving once again that money’s just a number until it decides to vanish. Market volatility seems to be playing hide and seek, with a 3.5% swing that makes your average rollercoaster look positively sedate. 🎢
Imagine this: a nation blessed with geysers and mighty rivers, ready to power something as cheeky as Bitcoin mining. That’s Indonesia’s plan! They say, “Why not turn our geothermal and hydro power into a treasure map, leading us to heaps of Bitcoin?” While other countries are panicking about inflation or debt monster dragons, Indonesia’s just casually dreaming about Bitcoin reaching $13 million by 2045-probably while munching on fiery satay. 🍢🔥
