The grandest of the grand was the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (ticker: XRPR), who strutted about with a dazzling $37.7 million in trading volume, according to the oracle Bloomberg’s ETF wizard, Eric Balchunas. He called it the “biggest day one” for any ETF launched in 2025 – a phrase that sounds like a royal proclamation if you ask me.

But don’t go selling your soul for a Bitcoin just yet! Crypto analysts are totally split on what’s coming next. Some believe the bear market is still off in the distance, while others think it’s lurking right around the corner, waiting to strike. 🤔

Le veinard Ripple, en ce glorieux 18 septembre, nous annonce qu’il s’unit avec DBS Group Holdings Ltd. et Franklin Templeton pour offrir aux investisseurs distingués – ceux qui portent cravate et monocle – des solutions de trading et de prêt dignes d’un roi, propulsées par des fonds monétaires tokenisés sur la blockchain du XRP Ledger et ses fidèles stablecoins, tel le fameux Ripple USD (RLUSD).

So, here’s the tea: a cool $60 million credit line in crvUSD is up for grabs for Yield Basis. Voting kicked off on Wednesday, and spoiler alert-97% of you are already on board. Democracy? More like *crypto-cracy*. 📈💸

So, this sports-focused Brera Holdings thing (yeah, I’d never heard of it either) decided to spice up its life by becoming a Solana (SOL)-based digital asset treasure chest. 🧭 Their stock went from “meh” to “OMG” in a day, surging over 280% on Sept. 18. It opened under $10 and hit a high of $43.98 before settling at $30 by 2:18 p.m. EST. Talk about a glow-up! 💅

KRW1, a name so trademarked it practically winks at you, is issued on the Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain. BDACS claims its system is a marvel of modern engineering, linking fiat deposits, token issuance, and onchain verification in a loop so seamless it could make a Swiss watchmaker weep. 🕰️ Escrowed South Korean won, held at the venerable Woori Bank, backs each token, with a banking API providing proof-of-reserves checks-because nothing says “trust” like a bank in a pilot program. 🏦

Market analysts-those folks who spend their days staring at charts and muttering about “historical patterns”-are pointing out that this sudden drop in exchange reserves usually means one thing: a price surge. 🌋 Fewer tokens on exchanges? Upward pressure. It’s basic economics, or as basic as anything can be in a world where money is just numbers on a screen and everyone’s a rocket scientist. 🚀

Now Google’s staring down Visa and Mastercard-because why not? Everyone’s sprinting to cash in on AI shopping like it’s the last cookie in the jar. And get this: stablecoin transactions already skyrocketed to a casual $5.7 trillion in 2024. Yeah, with a 66% jump just in the first quarter of 2025. No big deal. 🙃

The chaps at Plasma aren’t mucking about-they’re kicking things off with a cool $2 billion in stablecoin liquidity. 🤑 That’s right, billions with a ‘b’! And they’ve got over 100 DeFi partners in their back pocket, including the likes of Aave, Ethena, Fluid, and Euler. Users, my dear fellow, will be treated to savings products, deep USD₮ markets, and borrowing rates so low they’d make a penny-pinching aunt blush. Oh, and zero-fee USD₮ transfers? Absolutely! Cheaper and faster than your granny’s tea kettle. 🫖

Well now, as this fancy new-fangled crypto stuff keeps tinkering with the way folks fiddle with their nickels and dimes online, Betplay’s struttin’ around like it owns the whole shindig in casinos and sportsbooks. I’m Regina, your friendly Web3 gaming gal over at Bitcoin.com, and I went and kicked the tires on Betplay – signing up, tossing money in, spinning the wheels, grabbing some bonuses, and just lettin’ the whole contraption spin in my hands. Here’s the skinny.
