GLORIOUS news! All those platforms-Binance, Bybit, and others-standing at the gates, trembling with the thrill of legal recognition, may now stride confidently into the American arena. The CFTC’s arcane scroll (ah, advisory) spells out how these vagabond firms can register as foreign boards of trade, assuming they’ve kissed the right regulatory rings in jurisdictions that might, just possibly, resemble American standards. Essentially, it’s the legal equivalent of a midnight dance-risqué, but with formal shoes.

Tether and Circle, those ever-reliable anchors of the crypto seas, continue to dominate the revenue race. Tether raked in a cool $632.9 million-an increase of $18.1 million from last month. Meanwhile, Circle added $206.4 million to its coffers, up $8.8 million. It seems stablecoins aren’t just the backbone of crypto’s fee economy; they’re practically the spine, ribs, and skull too. 💀✨

While the broader crypto market flounders around like a fish out of water, Ethereum investors seem oddly optimistic. Darkfost-a name so mysterious it sounds like a Sith Lord-has pointed out something curious happening over at Binance. Apparently, reserves of ETH on the platform have plummeted by 10%. That’s right, folks, people are pulling their ETH off exchanges quicker than you can say “Don’t Panic!”

Turns out, there’s a cosmic rift between two factions: the spot market enthusiasts and the derivatives traders. It’s like watching two alien species argue over who gets to pilot the spaceship. While spot investors are busy hoarding CRO like it’s discounted intergalactic currency, derivatives traders are fleeing faster than a Vogon constructor fleet. A $20 million liquidity outflow in the derivatives market? That’s enough to make even the most stoic investor question their life choices.

But let us not forget, dear reader, that this downturn comes on the heels of a blockbuster few months. Stocks soared to record highs as if carried aloft by a flock of overly ambitious geese. Even President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which initially sent markets into a tizzy, could not dampen the spirits of risk assets for long. Alas, the euphoria following the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium was short-lived, much like the lifespan of a snowflake in July.

At the Hong Kong Bitcoin Summit, Eric, ever the diplomat, praised China’s “unquestionable prowess” in the sector, while the People’s Republic sat quietly, nursing a cup of tea and a grudge. One might wonder if the ban on crypto trading was merely a temporary setback, akin to a toddler’s tantrum, as the nation now contemplates yuan-based stablecoins with the seriousness of a man planning a heist.

The gang, led by two Chinese masterminds (who must’ve thought they were invincible), targeted the rich and famous with the precision of a well-aimed slingshot. They hacked government sites, stole data, and created 100 fake phone accounts-because nothing says “I’m a genius” like pretending to be someone else’s phone. 🤖

Now, ponder this: is this gold surge just the usual panic-fueled safe play, or a sly whisper from fate that Bitcoin’s time to dance is nigh? Shall we watch this dusty metal lead the electric rebel into the next grand parade?

Jeremie Davinci-Bitcoin early adopter, crypto millionaire, and the YouTube personality with a penchant for blunt opinions-has once again taken to Twitter to share his wisdom. This time, it’s about your precious XRP. And let me tell you, he’s not a fan.

So, here’s how it went down: Investigators traced victim deposits to crypto scam wallets in Southeast Asia. They used Chainalysis’ fancy blockchain tracing tools to follow the money across dozens of addresses. It turns out, these scammers were really patient. Some victims made multiple transfers within a single month, while others kept sending money for as long as seven months. Can you believe it? 🤦‍♂️
