jpyxx In a rather dramatic (but entirely expected) announcement last week, BBVA, that banking behemoth from Spain, has decided to let its retail customers in Spain join the crypto craze. Yes, you heard that right. No longer will only the ultra-wealthy and tech geeks have access to cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether. Now, it’s available to everyone—well, those of legal age anyway. How very democratic!
According to Alden, those who find themselves in a pickle with payment issues – capital controls and whatnot – may indeed find Bitcoin a useful tool. But, she notes with a healthy dose of skepticism, they might just as well use those frightfully dull stablecoins as a short-term solution. How terribly… practical. 😒
The two companies, which are basically BFFs now after signing a letter of intent to merge, are planning to use the funding to establish a gold-backed treasury business. Because, you know, the world really needs another way to buy and sell gold. 🙄 Of the total funding, $100 million is in the form of convertible debentures, while the remaining $1 billion is an equity line of credit. Because who doesn’t love a good debt?
This brings their total SOL holdings to a whopping 690,420 coins, worth a tidy $102.7 million 🤑. That’s a 64% increase in just two months, which is either a brilliant move or a recipe for disaster – only time will tell 🤔. The plan is to stake these coins and earn a steady yield income, because who doesn’t love a bit of passive income? 😴
Traders are now closely observing the $0.44–$0.47 area as a potential inflection point in OP’s market trajectory. 🔍
With a shudder, Bitcoin [BTC] — frequently advertised as “digital gold”, though with a temperament closer to a jittery greyhound at a firework display — is now flinching in harmony with mere mortals like stocks.
Marty Bent, the founder of Bitcoin media company TFTC and managing partner of Bitcoin Venture Firm Ten31, penned an essay titled “This Is The Way,” a nod to a certain galaxy far, far away. 🌌
CrediBull points out that the last two times this happened—when more than 80% of Bitcoin was hoarded—huge price hikes followed. We’re talking a jump from $43k to $73k and another from $58k to $105k+. So, yeah, he’s basically saying, “When the ‘diamond hands’ are gripping the market like a toddler clutching a cookie jar, you bet your Bitcoin the price is gonna skyrocket.”
One of the most significant rollouts this month was TRON’s integration with AEON Pay. This move allows users to pay with TRX, USDT, and USDD at retail stores in Southeast Asia—totaling up to 20 million merchants and 10,000 brand partners. Whether it’s small neighborhood outlets or international franchises, customers can now transact using TRON-based digital assets in a seamless, low-fee experience.
According to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI, led by Trump-appointed officials, Jeffrey Epstein didn’t keep a “client list” of his associates involved in all sorts of nefarious activities 📝. They’ve searched high and low, through over 300 GB of digital and physical evidence, and found zilch, zero, nada 📊. No proof that Epstein blackmailed prominent figures or conspired with third parties 🤝.
