On July 7, the Charting Guy (I’m starting to think he’s a superhero) released a technical analysis of the XRP/BTC trading pair. And let me tell you, it’s like he has a PhD in predicting the future. 🔮 His report shows a zoomed-in fractal overlay of the current XRPBTC price action with a pattern from the 2017 rally, and it’s like they’re identical twins. 👯
One cannot help but admire how the company pursues this experiment in “shareholder-oriented management”—for what better way to align with your investors than to tether your own wallet to the turbulent sea of cryptocurrency? If Bitcoin falls off a cliff, at least you can console the CEO with a cup of green tea and the knowledge that shareholders, too, are plummeting beside him. 🍵📉
When the law comes into force, the HKMA (Hong Kong Monetary Authority) will begin receiving applications to obtain a license. But here’s the twist: it’s believed that initially, only a handful of licenses will be granted.

On July 8, straight out of frosty Minneapolis, SharpLink practically shouted from the rooftops: “We are now the proud owners of 205,634 Ethereum tokens!” For added flavor, they went shopping for an extra 7,689 ETH at an average price of $2,501 per piece—because who doesn’t enjoy a little retail therapy?

Under this feverish moon, whispers coil about the possibility of a Solana ETF, a financial beast as real as the bureaucrat’s signature on doomed forms. The SEC, that eternal gatekeeper, waves its rubber stamp and shouts from the mountain: “Revise! Resubmit! By July’s end, or face the void!” Analysts croak approval, sipping black coffee in cluttered Bloomberg cubicles. James Seyffart, who knows the taste of hope mixed with regulatory dust, calls this ritual “a positive signal.” Somewhere, the gods of finance chuckle.
Most sages of Wall Street, stoic as stone icons, expect no Fed mercy this month. Yet just as the midwife spies the first sign of birth, inflation appears to have tumbled—nay, plummeted!—from a dignified 2.27% to a rather bashful 1.70% in less than two weeks, all according to Truflation. Conveniently timed before the great CPI revelation of July 15. Should officials bow and confirm these numbers, oh, what a commotion! Market jesters may rip up their old parchments, dust off new predictions, and—why not?—shout for a surprise rate cut.
