jpyxx Some XRP enthusiasts, presumably still holding their breath in 2025, thought a judge’s approval was needed. But Marc Fagel, former SEC lawyer and apparent oracle of legal clarity, explained that the case is “essentially over already.” For clarity: no judges, no drama, just a clerk doing their job. How thrilling.
And wouldn’t you know it, Ether decided to take a little nap too. After almost kissing its 2021 all-time high of $4,878 (a mere 2% away!), it’s now chilling under $4,450. Guess even cryptocurrencies need a breather after a month-long rally pushed prices up nearly 30%. Who knew digital assets could get so tired? 😴
And what of the broader market, you ask? Well, it seems the U.S. CPI data, revealing a 3.3% annual inflation, has sent the crypto market into a tailspin, resulting in a 1.5% drop and a staggering $1.05 billion in liquidations. For SUI, the short liquidations of $119k have outpaced the long liquidations of $14k, painting a rather gloomy picture of bearish sentiment. The futures open interest has also taken a hit, declining by 9.2% to $1.79 billion, while funding rates have normalized to a paltry 0.0083% after their dramatic peak in July. Truly, a comedy of errors!
Adding fuel to the rally, Donald Trump recently announced cryptocurrency as an eligible investment option for 401(k) retirement plans, opening the door for retirees to diversify into Bitcoin and other digital assets. 😏
This burn, in case you missed it, is like OKX saying, “We’re done with that old token supply, let’s hit the reset button!” Their token strategy is officially going through a mid-life crisis, and we’re all just along for the ride.
Observe, one may piously declare, that ordinary coins limp, bleed, and howl through red charts, while HYPE pirouettes in green like a repentant sinner who has just swapped his hair-shirt for silk-six percent overnight, five-hundred percent since the last collective hemorrhaging. And Arthur the Gray (Hayes, if you must his earthly title), he too inched his hoard to 58,631 tokens, pocketing an unrealized $206,000. Pride cometh before a liquidation-yet he smiles. 🙃
In a letter to the Senate Banking Committee, these associations, representing all 50 states, have raised their voices in unison. They’ve got a list of demands longer than a summer day, and one of them is a bit of an eyebrow-raiser. Their chief complaint? This stablecoin business could become a bit too wild if left unchecked.
Injective (INJ) is gallivanting near $15, just an arm’s length away from the teasing $16.12 mark, akin to a child on tiptoe. It appears to be resembling an upside-down comb thanks to a structure from early April, like the spirals on a wizard’s hat.
Word spreads that the phantasmagoric sum of approximately 314 million was lavished on a fortune’s trinkets-16,290 Antminer U3S21EXPH units-all courtesy of the illustrious Chinese colossus, Bitmain. What say you of this? A veritable feast of 14.02 exahashes per second – enough to tickle the curiosity of those following their cryptic hashes.
So, I was minding my own business, scrolling through the internet, when I stumbled upon this gem (pun intended). Gemini, the crypto exchange that’s always trying to make our lives easier, announced on Aug. 14 the release of the Gemini Wallet. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for crypto, but way cooler. Designed to streamline onchain interactions for both everyday users and developers, it comes with the Gemini Onchain Dashboard-a browser-based hub where you can view your holdings, explore decentralized applications, and even earn returns through DeFi vaults. Eric Kuhn, head of onchain at Gemini, had this to say:
