Monument Bank, a London-based financial institution, is planning to use blockchain technology to turn customer deposits into digital tokens. They intend to initially tokenize £335 million (around $250 million) on a public network, making them the first UK bank authorized to tokenize everyday customer savings. This innovative project will offer the benefits of digital tokens while still ensuring customers’ money is protected under standard banking regulations.

In a recent post on the old X (formerly known as Twitter, don’t you know), our intrepid market expert shared a Sunday report that reads like a cautionary tale from a particularly gloomy soothsayer. Since September 2025, he’s been banging on about Bitcoin’s precarious position, and by Jove, he’s been spot on. After nailing the $125,000 peak, he predicted the tumble to $100,000, and then the plunge to $60,000-both of which came to pass with alarming swiftness. Not content with that, he foresaw Bitcoin’s sideways shuffle between $57,000 and $87,000, a prediction that proved as accurate as a Swiss timepiece.

Market experts-those wizards of the obvious-have declared that XRP is more likely to take a nosedive into the lower support zones than it is to suddenly sprout wings and soar. Because, let’s face it, without a major catalyst, this crypto asset is about as motivated as a sloth on a Sunday afternoon.

So, Startale Group closed a $63 million Series A round, with SBI Group tossing in $50 million on top of Sony’s $13 million from January. Because when Sony and SBI team up, it’s like Batman and Robin, but with more blockchain.

After reviewing six months of market data and observing two negative indicators, the price of HBAR is likely to continue falling. Unless buyers can drive the price above $0.1031, it’s expected to move lower.

According to data from CryptoQuant, over 23,000 Bitcoins – worth approximately $1.66 billion – have moved off of cryptocurrency exchanges in the last 30 days. This is happening without any significant news or market reactions, and most individual investors haven’t noticed the consistent outflow.

The mastermind behind this sweeping review? None other than Philip Rycroft, a man whose name sounds like a forgotten character from a Dickens novel. Rycroft, once a bigwig at the Home Office, also suggests capping donations from British expats at £100,000 to £300,000 per year. Because apparently, the only thing more dangerous than a crypto bro is a crypto bro living in Marbella.

The European Central Bank is taking steps to officially establish the technical groundwork for its digital euro. According to Executive Board member Piero Cipollone, the bank plans to release important standards by this summer.

On March 24, Turkey’s crypto community threw a digital tantrum, complete with hashtags and fiery tweets, just a day before the Grand National Assembly was set to vote on this financial nightmare. The bill? A 0.03% transaction levy, a 10% tax for domestic exchange users, and a jaw-dropping 40% for foreign platform traders. CPA Evren Özmen broke it down, and let’s just say, no one’s inviting this bill to the party.

In the grand tradition of existential quandaries, Strategy has decreed that this chosen one shall wield influence over the very institutions of power-banks, funds, and the like-dictating how they shall store their cryptocurrency. For Strategy, you see, is not content with mere wealth; it aspires to be the arbiter of security standards for Bitcoin custody across the globe. A noble endeavor, indeed, or perhaps a folie de grandeur?
