So Do Kwon – guy behind Terraform Labs, not a Bond villain (but close) – caved to U.S. prosecutors. He’ll be wearing a jumpsuit soon, after admitting two felonies: wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud. Y’know, just casual weekend stuff in crypto land.
In the grand tapestry of nations, Brazil stands as a colossus, not only for its vibrant culture but also for its burgeoning embrace of cryptocurrency. The stage is set for Brazil to take a bold step forward, one that could redefine its role in the global economic theater.

This announcement is basically Coinbase’s way of saying, “Remember when we helped seed USDC markets in 2019?” and then confidently add, “Hold my virtual beer,” as the USDC universe now boasts a staggering $8.9 billion locked up tighter than a dragon guarding its gold. With $2.7 trillion zipping around yearly-because apparently, the internet never sleeps-the firm is gearing up to make sure that USDC never has to share a lonely heart with pennies lost in sofa cushions.
Senator Kelda Roys, along with six other Democratic representatives, introduced Senate Bill 386 on Monday as companion legislation to Assembly Bill 384, which Democratic Representative Ryan Spaude introduced on July 31.

In the past 24 hours, these crypto cowboys spent over $5 million on the $5,000 strike call option expiring on Sept. 26. That’s right, they’re betting ETH will break $5K by the end of the quarter. As of now, ETH is chilling at $4,670, up 26% for the month. Not bad for a digital coin, huh? 🤑📊
Ethereum [ETH] has pranced proudly into Wall Street’s spotlight, leaving Bitcoin [BTC] in the dust. On 11th August, U.S. spot ETH ETFs amassed a record-breaking $1.019 billion in net inflows, while Bitcoin’s ETFs-well, let’s just say they’re still figuring out what to do with themselves.
Announced on August 12 (no, not a global holiday), this initiative marks the fund’s first substantial activity on the scene in over four years. Seems like the safe place to hide money is experiencing a … revival. 🎉
The oracle network, you see, has got itself deeply entangled (in a thoroughly respectable manner, naturally) with SWIFT. This now means over 11,000 financial institutions – or a staggering number of bank managers, if you ask me – are connected to both the positively modern world of blockchains and the distinctly old-fashioned one of… well, banks. Chainlink, it seems, is becoming frightfully important in this whole business of updating the financial system. One shudders to think of the paperwork otherwise. 🧐
Behold, the Grayscale DeepBook Trust and Grayscale Walrus Trust! Not just random words strung together, mind you, but a “strategic expansion” of Grayscale’s product suite. Apparently, these tokens are the Beyoncé and Jay-Z of decentralized finance, driving innovation in DeFi and on-chain data services. And if you’re wondering why this matters, well, it’s been almost a year since Grayscale introduced the Sui Trust, so… timing is everything, darling. ⏳
An astute analysis of these patterns draws comparisons to the 2021 accumulation before ADA’s ascension reminiscent of an indomitable revolutionary force, a climbing Ark against the backdrop of economic winter. Meanwhile, ETF approval odds have leaped gallantly from 60% to a veritable 75%, according to the juiciest of Polymarket data.
