A proposal tied to World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is stirring debate in the DeFi space. Especially as fresh details surface around its potential partnership with Aave. Because nothing says “trust us” like a Trump family endorsement and a 3% drop in token price. 🤷♀️
The pièce de résistance of Bitcoin’s bustling days was April 23, 2024, when the network processed a staggering 927,010 transfers. In contrast, 2025’s top performance, on May 18, saw a mere 629,314 transfers-still impressive, but hardly a record-breaker. The top five days of yore all belong to 2024, including the likes of Aug. 9 (910,083), July 21 (859,629), and so forth. One might say 2025 is merely a shadow of its former self! 🌥️
Recent upgrades and the ever-changing market mood are stirring the pot, making everyone talk about BCH as if it’s the next great hope-or perhaps just another balloon waiting to deflate.
Among the star panelists: Akio Isowa from Sumitomo Mitsui, Tatsuya Saito of Progmat (who’s basically trying to make blockchain work in Japanese bank land), and Kenta Sakakibara of Circle, all steered by Kenta Sakagami, the COO/CFO of DeFimans-because who doesn’t want a title that sounds like a superhero alias? 🦸♂️
Earlier this month, the company snatched up 430 BTC, a mere $51 million trinket, pushing its unrealized profits to $25.8 billion. A 56% gain, they say-a testament to the madness of men who mistake speculation for wisdom. SaylorTracker, that digital oracle of avarice, confirms the firm’s insatiable hunger, though one wonders if even Solzhenitsyn’s gulags could contain such greed. 📈🔍
After strutting around with a hefty 21% recovery post-Powell’s grand speech, our dear Ethena [ENA] seems to be limping into a correction phase, like a three-legged dog in a race between two rabbits.
His reasoning? Traditional finance is still “reluctant” to embrace crypto. Oh, sure, because nothing says “excitement” like a 69% of Morgan Stanley execs not owning any crypto in 2024. By 2025, it’s 82%! That’s like a toddler saying “no” to cake-*still* early! 🍩📉
But history, that dreadful spoil-sport, offers a cautionary note. According to the solemn digit-jockeys at CoinGlass, there have been only three occasions since 2016 where Ether, having cut a rug in August, proceeded to trip over it and land face-first in the canapes the following month.
Let’s talk about those cozy old banks, shall we? They’ve been playing in the leverage sandbox for years, living large and comfy with all their fault-tolerant systems. You know, discount windows and those nifty backup mechanisms that give them time to figure things out when stuff hits the fan. It’s like having a cushion when you trip, but hey, crypto? No such luck.
So, apparently, 2025 is the year everyone decided crypto is the new cool kid in town. After Strategy (formerly Microstrategy, but who’s keeping track? 🤷♀️) started the trend of corporate Bitcoin hoarding, everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Ethereum? Oh, they’re in on it too. As of Aug. 24, 2025, ten companies are sitting on 2,955,200 ETH, worth a cool $14.2 billion. Casual. 🤑
