The delight arose after the ZCash Open Developmental Lab, or ZODL-such a grandiose title for a modest troupe-proclaimed that it had captured over $25 million in seed funding. One must wonder if the money was really for privacy, or merely to buy the finest powdered wigs for the developers!
Northwestern Mutual’s study discovered that many folks fiddling with crypto, prediction markets, and sports betting are doing so because they feel like they’re chasing their money while it tiptoes away on stilts.
“X Money early public access will launch next month,” Musk announced to X on Tuesday, confirming an April debut for the payments platform that has been gestating – in various incarnations, like a stubborn idea in a restless mind – for almost three years.

Ah, Arthur Hayes-the man who puts his money where his mouth is, or at least $100,000 of it.

Kraken’s xStocks platform is rolling out xPoints, a rewards program for anyone brave enough to trade tokenized U.S. equities, provide liquidity, or gamble in DeFi. Because nothing says “long-term commitment” like turning your portfolio into a loyalty card.
Merlijn remains as bullish as a cow in a field of hay, insisting that Bitcoin is currently in its “second phase of manipulation,” which is apparently a fancy way of saying “we’re all just waiting for the next plot twist in this cosmic soap opera.” He predicts a return to $100,000, which is about as likely as a penguin winning the World Cup. But hey, stranger things have happened-like the Fed deciding to stop tightening and instead start… whatever this is.
