Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, took to X (yes, that’s still a thing apparently) to clarify their high-minded stance. He tweeted—and I imagine in a deeply dramatic voice—“Federal issues belong in federal court.” Because nothing says fun like watching a bunch of legal eagles squabble over who gets to dictate the future of digital assets while the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to buy a cup of coffee with our Bitcoin. ☕💸

According to a recent report from the Bangkok Post, the government regulators have, with the solemnity of a coronation, scheduled a public hearing for this sandbox proposal. The crypto sandbox, a term that sounds as if it were plucked from the pages of a futuristic novel, is designed to cater to the whims of foreign tourists, allowing them to convert their digital assets into Thai baht through local exchanges. Thus, they may indulge in the pleasures of everyday transactions in the country, from sipping coconut water on the beach to bargaining for trinkets in the bustling markets, all with the wave of a smartphone.

In an event reminiscent of a theatrical unveiling, Governor Gavin Newsom disclosed the so-called California Breakthrough Project, a venture birthed within the very walls of Ripple’s headquarters, with the crypto wizards of Coinbase casting long shadows over the proceedings.

U.S. inflation, that ever-present specter, picked up for the second straight month in June 2025, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reaching 2.7%, the highest since February. One might say, inflation, like a stubborn guest, refuses to leave the party. 🎉

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is holding its ground above critical support levels after recently setting a new all-time high of $123,200 and retracing to key demand near the $116,000–$118,000 zone. Despite the pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with the price structure intact and support levels being defended by buyers. It’s like a game of tug-of-war, but with a lot more zeros. 💰

After reclaiming the mid-range at $15.90, LINK has been on a roll, forming higher lows and highs. At press time, it’s sitting pretty at $16.59, just teasing that resistance level like an overconfident teenager at prom.
