He’s claiming that JPMorgan is blocking Gemini from essential banking services because he’s dared to criticize them. Could it be because he suggested that banks charging fintechs for access to customer data might bankrupt those very fintechs? Nah, that’s probably just coincidence.

While Bitcoin hogged the limelight—like the town drunk at a sheriff’s picnic—other lesser-known coin characters went screeching up the ranks. They were riding the hype train, fueled by folks dreaming of gold and glory, and a heap of new investor interest, folks with pockets deep enough to make a banker blush. If you’re fixin’ to find out which of these shiny fools are primed to explode next, reckon you’re in the right place.
In a world where fortunes rise and fall like leaves in autumn, Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, took to her vast audience of 1.8 million on X—formerly Twitter, that den of digital discourse—on this day, July 26, 2025, to lay bare the culprits behind the Ethereum unstaking frenzy. She attributes the madness to Robinhood’s tantalizing 2% deposit promo and the relentless greed of treasury companies and VC firms, who shift staked ETH like pawns in a high-stakes game. “As with other ventures,” she muses, exposing the underbelly of finance with a dash of irony. 😉
And lo, he proclaims that soon, DOGE may ascend, its price soaring to the lofty heights of $0.36, as if the cosmos itself conspires to lift this humble coin. But what is this ‘huge win’ but a mirage, a fleeting triumph of hope over despair? 🐕💸
But lo and behold! Just as the sun sank low, Bitcoin rallied! With the finesse of a valiant knight in slightly tarnished armor, it reclaimed a sturdy three grand, rising up from the depths like a stubborn old mule refusing to be left behind.

What was once dismissed as a fool’s fancy now stirs with renewed life—courtesy of that elusive beast, regulatory clarity, and the creeping interest of institutional behemoths. Even the great whales of crypto have begun to hoard their treasures, moving with the stealth of shadows at dusk. 😂
Maple Finance’s [SYRUP], the darling of hype and hope, flirted flirtatiously with its all-time high—just shy at above $0.6. This manic ascent was fueled by Upbit’s announcement—an audacious move for a South Korean exchange to embrace this liquid gold.
It all started when Christie’s noticed something curious: a lot of big deals were being made in cryptocurrency. (Who knew?) This wasn’t a small trend either, so they decided to launch a dedicated division to handle this exciting new wave of transactions. They’re now the first major U.S. brokerage to jump on the bandwagon of crypto-powered real estate deals. Kudos, Christie’s! You’ve managed to make house hunting sound both futuristic and mildly absurd. 🚀
