So, Sei Network goes and integrates native USDC and Circle’s fancy Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol V2. Why? To make cross-chain liquidity and transfer speeds faster than your internet connection on a good day. Apparently, this move is a huge deal for Sei’s blockchain, which, by the way, is built for high throughput and low-cost transactions. Big words, big moves.

Circle’s got the press release ready and they’re acting like this is the dawn of DeFi’s new age:

Imagine a web of bi-directional payment channels—think spaghetti but way less messy—allowing you to fling funds around like confetti at a wedding. 💰🎉 Payments zoom through so fast, you’d think they were in a race! But remember, they only settle when the channel closes. Less in-chain load means more speed to your wallet—like a cheetah on roller skates!

Market data showed that the upswing was fueled by a massive short squeeze and boosted by record inflows from U.S. spot BTC ETFs (exchange-traded funds). And analysts are still expecting more growth. Because, why not? 🤷‍♂️

This most thrilling development, announced on July 10, allows users to stake as little as $1 worth of Ethereum (ETH) or Solana (SOL) directly through the Robinhood Crypto app, with all the ease and convenience of ordering a cup of coffee ☕️. According to Robinhood, staking rewards will be distributed based on network protocol rates, minus platform and partner fees – a small price to pay, indeed, for the promise of untold riches 💸.

According to the insightful and ever-so-dramatic CryptoQuant Quicktake post by the one and only Enigma Trader, the Coinbase Premium Gap made a jump from 6.9 on July 7 to a respectable 48.8 by July 10. While this does point to some renewed interest from the US, let’s not get too excited – this still doesn’t come close to the June high of over 80. But hey, it’s a start, right?

Needless to say, many a sage investor now believes the platform to be undervalued, and that it shall eventually surpass those most venerable institutions, the centralized exchanges (CEXs) 💸.

Bitcoin’s rally to a new all-time high of over $118,000 has triggered a massive wave of liquidations, wiping out more than $1.11 billion in short contracts in a single 24-hour period ending on July 11. 😱💸

Just the other Wednesday—mark it in your calendars—Snoop launched this digital cornucopia, the likes of which have not been seen since the invention of the telegraph. With a collection that sprouted everything from ganja-themed art (of course) to anthropomorphized beagles and fine vintage automobiles, folks were clicking like there was no tomorrow! And lo and behold, in a mere thirty minutes, more cash than one could shake a stick at—$12 million to be exact—swelled into the coffers! 💰

Dogecoin price started a fresh increase from the $0.1750 zone, because even cryptocurrencies need a little pick-me-up sometimes. DOGE was able to climb above the $0.180 and $0.1880 resistance levels, and the bulls even pushed the price above the $0.1920 resistance, because who doesn’t love a good game of crypto-bull-riding? 🎢

At a press conference, Governor Lee expressed his concerns about the potential chaos that could ensue if multiple non-bank institutions were to issue won-pegged stablecoins. “It’s a recipe for disaster,” he seemed to say, “a confusion akin to the Wild West of private currency issuance in the 19th century 🤠.”
