In a Medium post titled “Time to Say Goodbye” (which sounds more like a breakup letter than a professional resignation), Steve Guo announced he’s stepping down as CEO of Loopring (LRC) in August 2025. His reason? Family time. Because nothing says “I’m done here” like a sudden urge to bond with the kids. 🏠👨👩👧👦
Ethereum’s [ETH] ecosystem is now embroiled in a debate so intense it could rival the time Jerry refused to tip the pizza guy because the box was slightly crushed. The Ethereum Community Foundation (ECF) unveiled BETH-a token that “represents” ETH you’ve torched. Because nothing says “value” like owning a digital receipt for something that no longer exists. 👻
Behold! The Polygon network is buzzing like a swarm of bees on a sugar rush. Active addresses jumped 25%, from 447,000 to 665,000-more folks are actually using this thing. Daily transactions jumped nearly 8%, hitting 4 million. Looks like someone finally found the switch to turn this network from rust to robust. Or maybe just to catch some fish for once. 🐟
On August 8, Binance issued a most curious decree, reducing LRC’s collateral ratio from 40% to 25% for portfolio margin users. This change allows traders to borrow more against their LRC holdings, boosting liquidity and speculative leverage. The policy shift came alongside a massive 2362% surge in trading volume to $337 million, a figure that would make even the most stoic of investors blink in disbelief. 🤯
After a period of modest ascent, Cardano encountered sellers near $0.880, prompting a downturn as sudden as a scandal in high society. Like its peers, Bitcoin and Ethereum, ADA succumbed, dipping below the $0.850 and $0.8320 support levels with a lack of grace most unbecoming.

Gumi Inc., a corporate acrobat performing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s tightrope, recently convened its board to sanction the acquisition of ¥2.5 billion ($17 million) in XRP, a move as fateful as a moth leaping into a blockchain flame. Earlier this year, the company had already staked ¥1 billion in bitcoin on Babylon’s staking protocols, a financial ballet where returns pirouette like loose change in a storm drain. Management, with the solemnity of a funeral director at a crypto conference, insists this XRP gambit is a calculated step to deepen its role in blockchain-based finance, though one might argue it’s more akin to throwing confetti into a hurricane.
Bitcoin dip buyers are back, but sellers are like that one aunt who always overstays her welcome at Thanksgiving. 🦃💨
Bitcoin, oh Bitcoin, thou didst attempt a recovery from the $107,352 low, climbing above $108,000 and $108,500, like a phoenix from the ashes. Thou cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level, a fleeting victory. Yet, the bears, ever vigilant, halted thy ascent at $109,500, and now thou descendest once more, below $109,000. 🦅→🐻
This uproar, of course, reveals the curious powers wielded by creators and their alchemical token launches, as well as the capricious, wild beast that is the meme coin economy – unpredictable and merciless as a Moscow winter.
