To add to the fun, user adoption is spiking. Oh, and CryptoQuant, that oh-so-reliable source, has noted that PancakeSwap-AMM (which, yes, is a decentralized exchange, don’t roll your eyes) is pulling in the big bucks, as expected. More revenue than you can shake a stick at, and it seems PancakeSwap is now *dominating* the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), raking in over 64% of the network’s total revenue. Maybe you should try using it, but then again, you probably have better things to do.

Recently, a company decided to sell its Bitcoin, which is a bit like trading in a vintage Ferrari for a new Tesla. This move marks a significant shift in long-term expectations for Ethereum, suggesting it might be the new kid on the block that everyone wants to be friends with.

This latest endeavor follows an executive order, penned by the ever-visionary President Donald Trump in January, aimed at fortifying America’s position in the crypto industry and, one might say, anointing the nation as the world’s “crypto capital.” The thought of it is enough to make even the most skeptical of crypto enthusiasts do a double-take. 🤯

Not to be outdone, Bit Digital decided to play “now you see it, now you don’t!” with their Bitcoin. Poof! Sold every single coin and hopped on the Ethereum bandwagon like it was the last train out of Crypto City. They’re sitting on 100,000 ETH now. $254.8 million! If they were any more all-in, they’d have run out of chips.🪙🚂

Of course, some explanations for this spike are as clear as mud, but the analysts are still warning us to brace for impact. 🚀💥

A recently unearthed 12-page tome, as thrilling as one of those tedious Victorian novels filled with complex relations and drawn-out sentences, has ignited a flicker of optimism within the industry’s bosom. This document, laden with guidance, should ideally clarify disclosure and operational expectations for crypto asset funds. It seems the SEC is begrudgingly accepting these peculiar instruments as legitimate components of the financial landscape. Matt Hougan from Bitwise has declared this a “milestone moment,” as if the mere acknowledgment of digital assets might lead to them donning top hats and attending garden parties amongst their traditional market counterparts.

So, back in June, there were reports that Linqto was on the verge of bankruptcy 🚨. And, of course, Mr. Rosendin just had to go and fan the flames with some false info about his company, CapSign, holding $4.7 million of Ripple 💸. Because, you know, who needs facts when you can just make stuff up? 🤷‍♀️

Their website, perhaps written by a Tolstoyan character with too much time in the drawing room, declares proudly: “SSK is the first U.S.-listed ETF that gives you exposure to Solana (SOL), enhanced by staking rewards innate to the blockchain. Built by REX-Osprey, SSK unlocks staking rewards through the ease and transparency of the ETF structure.” One imagines Rostov, fortune lost at cards, nodding appreciatively at any mention of ‘exposure’ or ‘ease’.

According to a report by the AP (because who doesn’t love a good Associated Press story?), the hackers targeted Brazil’s PIX payment system. For those who don’t know, PIX is like the Venmo of Brazil – but instead of just sending your roommate money for rent, you can send millions of dollars to hackers. Convenient, right? 🤑

Bitcoin, in its infinite wisdom, managed to close above not one, but TWO significant levels over the past few days, notching its highest weekly close in history. Apparently, the crypto king has decided to aim for a return to its old playground, the $109,000 territory, after flirting with this area for a solid four days. But don’t get too excited; it’s just a warm-up.
