Okay, so until just last week, analysts were all “XRP has to hold that $2 support, it’s crucial!” and “If it breaks through $2.26, it’s going to moon!” And surprise, surprise, it did exactly that. It surged past $2.26 and stayed there like it owns the place. Yesterday, it hit a little bump around $2.7, but who’s counting? It’s still chilling above $2.5, which is like… being the cool kid on the block when all the other altcoins are in the red. 🤑

Governor Hobbs, in what one assumes was a moment of exquisite tedium, dashed off a veto letter assuring the masses she has already signed off on crypto usage, just not in a way that might send the state’s finances gambling at the technological roulette wheel. Apparently, she feels the current crypto market is such a rollercoaster of instability, even seasoned accountants clutch their pearls in terror. 🎢🤑

In the manner of prophets idolized and vilified in equal measure, Charles Hoskinson, that wily founder of Cardano, took to the digital pulpit. “Rejoice, ye maximalists of blockchain!” he seemed to proclaim, “For this is merely the first stone cast; much greater chaos will descend in Summer and Fall 2025.” There was a glint in his virtual eye—doubtless sharpened by many years dodging pointed questions about roadmaps and delivery dates.

According to the ever-so-trustworthy data from crypto.news, the Pi Network’s token (PI) has been on a rapid descent since May 12. The lowest point? A nail-biting $0.93 at 15:00 UTC that day. I mean, the audacity to dip below $1 when it was just dancing on top of it! 😤

The whispers in the wings suggest their dreams of Hong Kong or Middle Eastern listings have been sent packing—perhaps to the land of lost socks and broken SPACs.

Rekt Capital, the pseudonymous trading genius with over half a million followers on X (that’s Twitter, for those of us who aren’t on the cutting edge of lingo), says that Bitcoin’s next big hurdle is smashing through that pesky $105,000 resistance. Once that happens? Well, apparently, all bets are off, and Bitcoin will be in full-on price discovery mode. Sounds fancy, huh? Essentially, it’s like Bitcoin going on a trip to parts unknown—where the sky’s the limit, or at least, *way* beyond $105,000.

The weekly S&P 500 chart tells the sort of heartwarming redemption tale Hollywood can only dream of—despair, drama, and that sweet, sweet rally. When President Trump placed tariffs on anything more animate than a potted plant, the index sulked to the depths, only to bounce higher than a caffeinated kangaroo: another 3.26%! The S&P now sits at 5,844 points, inching toward the lofty 6,000 mark.

Will the market’s optimism overcome the suspicion that equities now cost more than the Mona Lisa’s insurance premium? Place your wagers, gentlefolk!

Should XRP tumble below this $2.50 line, don’t expect adulation or gentle hands—no, it’ll be an unceremonious slide to $2.42, that most uninspired of prices. A fall so predictable you can almost hear the groan from the telegram chatrooms.

Ethereum, after an extended period loitering melancholically below $2,400, has shaken off the existential malaise and launched itself upward by 38.2%. That’s right, 38.2%—a number so oddly specific it sounds made up, but apparently, math has its own sense of whimsy. ETH is now swaggering above $2,400 like someone who’s just remembered where they parked their car. Meanwhile, the shadowy specter of its 2021 all-time high at $4,878 looms ahead, like the improbably expensive house no one dares to Google.

Take last week, for example, when Ethereum made a rather surprising leap, rising nearly 40%—from a humble $1,800 to a dazzling $2,500. Yet, despite this impressive surge, its DeFi market has taken a nosedive, dropping a staggering 88% from its peak. Meanwhile, the ever-energetic Solana has stolen the spotlight, flaunting lower fees and faster speeds, making it the darling of the crypto crowd.
