That speedy little blockchain called Solana blasted its way up to nearly 225 bucks on Wednesday, the highest it’s danced in seven months. In just one day, SOL grew about 4 percent-like a chubby kid suddenly deciding to jog. Over the last month, it popped a whopping 25 percent in value. Among the top ten cryptocurrencies, it’s currently the briskest beast sizzling in the market kitchen.
At a humble $3,145 per ETH two months ago, Trend Research (an organization so trendy, they probably have a Wi-Fi signal named after them) sold off 79,470 ETH worth a cool $250 million. Fast forward to today, and they’re buying Ethereum back at prices that are higher than a kite, proving that they truly believe in this cryptocurrency’s potential. Because why wouldn’t you? It’s not like paying more for something is ever a bad idea, right?
Apparently, this “modest acceleration” (aka inflation’s version of a casual Friday) is all about steady price increases across goods and services. You know, like how your coffee went from $3 to $5 while you weren’t looking. ☕💸 Analysts are calling this a “moderate” inflation pressure, which is economist-speak for “not a total disaster, but still kinda annoying.” 🤓
The Consumer Price Index, that ever-reliable barometer of economic whimsy, came in at a tidy 2.9% year-over-year, right on the nose. 🎯 But, in a shocking twist that no one saw coming (except, of course, everyone who saw it coming), the monthly increase outpaced expectations by a whole 0.1%, hitting 0.4%. Gasp! 😱
Today’s U.S. CPI release is basically the Beyoncé of economic events-everyone’s waiting for it to drop. And guess what? Crude oil might’ve already spilled the tea. Historically, CPI and crude prices are like that couple who can’t decide if they’re together or not. With crude oil tumbling -8.5% in August, there’s a chance CPI could come in lower than expected. Surprise! Or not. Who knows with these numbers?
The Total Value Locked of Nemo protocol, once a proud figure of over $6 million, tumbled like Icarus from the sky, landing at a rather modest $1.5 million. Around $2.4 million was siphoned from the Sui (SUI)-based DeFi yield platform, a sum that could buy you a small island or, in this case, a lot of headaches. 🌴🌊
Heavy selling pressure from the airdrop could be behind the sharp decline. Such initial turbulence is common after token launches, reflecting short-term speculative dynamics. It’s like a carnival ride, up and down, but mostly down in this case. 🎡
Mark your calendars, folks-October 14, 2025, is the day SBF will allegedly grace a courtroom with his presence. That’s right, the man who once claimed he was just a humble vegan trying to save the world is now scheduled for a deposition. Will he bring his own snacks? Only time will tell. 🗓️🍌
In the bazaar of the market, XRP clings to $3.00 like a drowning man to a splintered plank, the 50- and 100-day moving averages its only solace. Buying volume creeps upward, timid as a mouse in a cathedral, yet the explosive rally of July remains but a distant echo. Network activity, that fickle muse, offers a crumb of support-but will it suffice for a breakthrough, or is it but a cruel jest? 🃏
It appears that beyond the grand theater of macro risks, the altcoin market has emerged as a formidable adversary to Bitcoin’s dominance (BTC.D). On paper, Bitcoin struts with reclaimed resistance levels, the most recent being the lofty $112k. And yet, BTC.D remains as stubborn as a mule, failing to recover 60% of its inflows, and presenting us with a most unbecoming red weekly candle. Meanwhile, TOTAL2, that darling of the market cap ex-BTC, prances ahead with a 3.58% gain, a clear indication that capital is still in pursuit of high-beta alts, those fickle creatures. 💸
