Remember when Armstrong said Coinbase couldn’t support the bill in its earlier form? Yeah, that was three months ago. Now he’s posting on X (formerly Twitter, because why not add more confusion to the world?) that it’s “time to pass the Clarity Act.” Talk about a plot twist-it’s like the crypto version of The Bachelor finale.
The geniuses at Microsoft’s Defender Security Research Team-because who doesn’t love a good superhero name-stumbled upon this gem back in April 2025. Yes, while you were probably binge-watching The Great British Baking Show and wondering if you could make a sourdough starter without crying, they were busy uncovering a vulnerability that makes a screen door on a submarine look secure.
Joao Wedson, a modern-day soothsayer and founder of Alphractal, has cast his gaze upon the entrails of blockchain, declaring that the beast may yet endure one final, pitiful convulsion before it finds its resting place. His prophecy, born of Alpha AI’s cold calculations, hinges on the delicate dance between the Investor Price and the Long-Term Holder (LTH) Realized Price-a ballet of greed and patience.
Trading activity is finally showing signs of life, like someone waving a flag in a mostly empty stadium. Prices crept higher all week, and now everyone’s squinting at seasonal patterns as if they might actually predict the future.

Operation Atlantic, a joint UK-US-Canada venture led by the esteemed National Crime Agency and the US Secret Service, doth strive to act in “near real time” – a phrase that doth tickle the ribs, for what is time but a jest in the realm of bureaucracy? Assisted by the likes of Chainalysis, a company that doth claim to decipher the cryptic language of the blockchain, they seek to unmask the rogues before the spoils vanish into the ether. A most ambitious quest, indeed!
With the winds of optimism blowing once more, XRP is witnessing a delightful uptick in investor sentiment. Traders-those brave souls-seem more inclined to clutch their holdings like a child with a security blanket rather than succumb to the siren call of selling.
According to ECB data, 99% of stablecoins are dollar-denominated, because apparently the world loves a good financial sitcom starring the US. Euro stablecoins? They’re clinging to a measly 0.35% of a $300 billion market. Denis Beau, First Deputy Governor of the Banque de France, recently took the stage at the EUROFI High Level Seminar in Nicosia to drop some truth bombs. His message? If Europe doesn’t act fast, we’re looking at “stablecoinisation” and “dollarisation” of the EU’s payment system-basically, financial colonialism with a fintech twist.
