Pi Hackathon 2025: Can These Apps Save Pi From Collapse? 💸

Behold, the video, that modern-day oracle, reveals glimpses of the projects being crafted in the shadow of the Pi Network. The grand aim? To explore the practical use of Pi, as if the world had not already been inundated with useless apps. Key features of this hackathon, which is both a marvel and a farce, include:

Crypto Kittens Cry as $1.7 Billion Flees ETFs! 🚨💸

It was a week so brutal, even Willy Wonka would’ve called it quits. Crypto ETFs? More like “Eeek, Flee the Tornado!” funds. Four days of losses, five days of tears. A grand total of $1.69 billion vanished faster than Charlie’s golden ticket. Sosovalue says investors are now dumber than Augustus Gloop in a chocolate river.

Turkey’s MASAK Gets Superpowers (And Your Crypto Wallet Might Tremble) 🦄💸

MASAK, already the financial world’s version of a suspicious neighbor who watches your comings and goings, will now get to shut down accounts suspected of hosting money laundering, fraud, or anything vaguely shady. It can also hit pause on mobile banking (because nothing says “trust the system” like randomly blocking your phone banking), blacklist crypto addresses, and generally make life miserable for anyone trying to launder money. 🚫

Stablecoin Empire Rises: USDT & USDC Cash In 🚀💸

RWA.xyz, that oracle of crypto’s pulse, whispers of Tether’s USDT hoarding $19.6 billion like a dragon guarding its hoard, while Circle’s USDC, its lesser cousin, clutches $12.3 billion with trembling claws. Ethena’s USDe, the upstart, dares to claim $9 billion-a pittance to the titans but enough to stir the pot of envy. One might call it progress, if only progress weren’t so often a mask for greed.

Capital B’s BTC Grab: 2,812 Coins & Counting! 🧠💸

The transaction, a masterstroke of modern alchemy, swells the group’s crypto treasury to a staggering 2,812 BTC, procured for €262.1 million ($307.3 million) at an average price of €93,216 per bitcoin. For context, that’s enough to buy a small Mediterranean island-or a very confused elephant in a tutu. Capital B, ever the visionary, claims this is part of a “steady accumulation strategy,” though one wonders if steadiness includes skydiving into volatile markets with a net made of hope and caffeine. The company boasts a BTC Yield of 1,656.1% year-to-date and 28.1% quarter-to-date, a financial acrobat’s performance that netted 662.4 BTC YTD (502.7 BTC QTD) and €63.6 million YTD (€48.2 million QTD). One might say they’ve turned risk into a art form-or perhaps a high-stakes circus act. Capital B frames this as a dual focus: amassing a Bitcoin treasury while expanding subsidiaries in Data Intelligence, AI, and decentralized tech. A noble pursuit, if one ignores the faint smell of hubris wafting through the balance sheet. 🎩✨

NYC Mayor Quits: Was Crypto Too Much? 🤯

In a dramatic X video (because nothing says “I’m serious” like posting on social media), Adams blamed his financial woes-thanks to that pesky bribery case and the city being, you know, stingy with funds. Classic.

MoonPay & Flow: A Match Made in Crypto Heaven 🌕💸

Flow, a blockchain so Layer 1 it’s practically wearing a top hat and monocle, has inked a partnership with MoonPay. Together, they’re determined to turn crypto trading into a game of tag, payments into a lullaby, and stablecoins into something even your grandma could manage. Their mission? Scalability, security, and services so smooth they’ll make a greased-up banana jealous. 🍌
