Ah, Bitwise’s audacious ploy serves to illuminate Switzerland’s regulatory embrace, a veritable oasis for digital assets amid the swirling sands of corporate adoption that seem to writhe and pulse globally, like a nervous hamster on a wheel.
Though NFT trading volumes rose by a modest 9%, sales counts dipped a tad by 4%. This suggests that while fewer assets exchanged hands, collectors are now lavishing greater sums upon their acquisitions. Ah, the whims of the affluent! According to a report by the esteemed blockchain analytics platform DappRadar, this curious trend persisted as of Thursday. 🤔
Webus International Ltd. (Nasdaq: WETO), in a flourish of strategic brilliance, announced on the third day of September that it had entwined itself with Air China Ltd. in a partnership so audacious, it aims to bestow XRP payment options upon the airline’s 60 million-plus Phoenixmiles members. Under this accord, Webus’ Wetour platform shall offer the crème de la crème of chauffeur-driven transfers and airport services to Air China’s discerning passengers. A move, one might say, that broadens Webus’ global footprint while setting the stage for blockchain’s grand entrance into the world’s largest airline loyalty programs. 🌍🚗
Announced with all the drama of a Tolstoyan revelation on Sept. 4, this acquisition grants Breakout’s services to Kraken Pro, a platform where traders, if they prove themselves worthy of the Kraken’s largesse, may dance with $200,000 in capital-zero risk, maximal hubris. One must first pass a qualification test, a ceremony of self-flagellation for those who dare to trade with the devil.
According to this analyst Fresh-who, let’s be real, could be anyone at this point-early buyers who probably got in when HBAR was as cheap as a cup of coffee are still stocking up. We’re talking about a steady pace here, like the slow and painful climb of someone who’s trying to get in shape but can’t let go of the donuts. The price is hanging around $0.2210, just under the magical $0.2220 resistance. Thrilling, right?
According to a Thursday announcement, this marvel targets banks, brokers, and tokenization platforms, as if they were mere pawns in a game of chess. The system, which supports both public and private blockchains, allows settlements in central bank money or on-chain cash-truly, a modern-day alchemist’s dream 💰.
Let’s talk about Solana’s August glow-up. App revenue soared to $148 million-nearly doubling year-over-year-and trading volume peaked at $43.8 billion. That’s not just impressive; that’s “I’m-about-to-make-your-favorite-crypto-jealous” levels of impressive. 📈✨
The investigation, which was announced on September 4, 2025, is like a detective story but with more algorithms and fewer clues. The FTC is demanding company papers like a teenager begging for their parents’ credit card. 🕵️♂️💳
Tempo’s investor roll-call reads like a fever dream at Davos: Anthropic (robots!), Coupang (Korean Amazon!), Deutsche Bank (yes, still here), DoorDash (your pizza and your tokens arriving together?), Lead Bank, Mercury, Nubank, OpenAI (AI-generated money, why not!), Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, and Visa (who have a monopoly on tiny plastic cards). With all those bigshots on board, this chain should grow faster than Matt’s hair in winter. Or maybe get bought out by Amazon. 🤷♂️
XRP influencer Xaif Crypto (yes, that’s a real name) was the first to sound the alarm on this “massive” transfer. Their hot take? “Is it a whale’s game or institutional play?” Spoiler alert: it’s Kraken, because of course it is. 🦑 Turns out, they tried to send the same amount earlier but failed-probably because they were like, “Oops, we don’t actually have that much.” Classic Kraken move. 🤦♀️
