U.Today has rounded up the wildest, craziest, and most eyebrow-raising headlines from the crypto universe—because apparently, reality isn’t enough fun.

Coinbase Gets a $429 Million Bitcoin Surprise from BlackRock: What’s the story?

In a move that makes you wonder if BlackRock is playing Monopoly with real money, they deposited a neat 4,113 BTC into Coinbase Prime yesterday, June 2. That’s roughly $429 million—probably enough to buy a small island, or at least a very fancy sandwich. Interestingly, most of these chunks were perfectly sized at 300 BTC—because random transfers are so last decade. Coinbase Prime, being the favourite playground of the financial bigwigs and not exactly the neighborhood lemonade stand, saw BlackRock’s helicopters land with purpose. After a month of steady buying, BlackRock decided to pull a surprise move and dump over $430 million just in time for Bitcoin’s recent price dip from over $112,000 to around $104,000—because what’s a bit of volatility between friends? 🎯

Ripple Celebrates 13 Years of XRP Shenanigans with Massive Transfers and Too Much Cake 🎂

On June 1, Ripple’s blockchain tracker, Whale Alert, reported a giant game of ‘Let’s Move Coins Around,’ loading 330 million XRP from an unknown wallet into Ripple’s coffers, followed by a modest 670 million XRP locked in escrow—because even cryptocurrencies enjoy a good lock-in. To add the spice, another 130 million XRP was sent to suspiciously unknown wallets. This marathon of transfers coincided with XRP’s 13th birthday, which is a long time in cryptocurrency years—like a dog’s lifespan, but with more charting and less barking. The cofounder Arthur Britto’s baby code, which created 100 billion XRP, remains the gift that keeps on giving. Currently, XRP is juggling the top-tier cryptocurrencies with a shiny $131 billion market cap, having recently strutted past SEC drama and into the top 10, because who doesn’t love a good comeback story? 🎉

Saylor’s Bitcoin Crusade Continues: 580,955 BTC and Counting, Because Why Not?

Michael Saylor, the man with more Bitcoin than most countries’ GDPs, announced yesterday that Strategy—his crypto army—snapped up another 705 BTC, bringing its shiny collection to a staggering 580,955 BTC—enough to make Jeff Bezos jealous. That’s roughly $75.1 million worth of digital gold, priced around $70,023 each. Saylor, who prefers his Bitcoin like he prefers his coffee—strong and frequent—has been buying almost weekly, with his latest tweets hinting at yet another purchase on the horizon. His love for orange is well documented, and his Bitcoin stash is turned a lovely shade of “corporate branding.” With a 16.9% gain in 2025 so far, it’s safe to say Saylor’s strategy might just be to buy enough to buy the entire planet one day. 🚀
