Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw-once dismissed as a “failure” by the Coinbase patriarch, Brian Armstrong-delivers her rebuke with the precision of a dying man’s confession. Her words cut through the fog of regulatory complacency like a dagger, revealing an industry drowning in its own muddy waters. The “Statement on Certain Liquid Staking Activities”-a document so vacuous it could be mistaken for a Dostoevskian explication of human despair-only adds to her disillusionment, as if the universe itself conspired to keep us mired in confusion.

Turns out, they’re planning to back a stablecoin with the won, probably so they can finally get the crypto whales to stop ignoring them. This was all hinted at in their 2025 earnings report-because what’s more exciting than a bank’s future plans? 💹

In a twist worthy of a Dostoevskian plot, Ethereum has recently experienced a $73 million ETF inflow-the first significant boost since the bleak days of February. The SEC, in a rare moment of clarity, has lifted some of the regulatory shackles, allowing ETF providers to polish their offerings like a desperate suitor trying to impress a disinterested partner.

Now, the claim portal? It’s live. Supports wallets from Cardano, Bitcoin, Ethereum-you know, the usual suspects. And get this: 33.6 million wallets are eligible. Because nothing says “fun” like a multi-chain free-for-all. They’re doing this multi-phase thing, like a bad sequel: first “Glacier Drop,” then “Scavenger Mine,” and, just when you think it’s over-“Lost-and-Found.” I mean, what is this, a treasure hunt for crypto nerds? 🧐

As of the sixth day of August, the Altcoin Season Index has taken a nosedive, now languishing at a paltry 38, as reported by the ever-reliable CoinMarketCap. One might say it’s akin to a summer picnic turned into a rain-soaked affair.

The jury simply couldn’t agree on the more serious charges-money laundering and sanctions evasion-leaving those headlines dangling like a badly cooked soufflé. Instead, they settled for the easy, less spicy guilt over a conspiracy charge dealing with unlicensed money-transmitting shenanigans. Classic compromise, really.

Let’s break this down like we’re explaining it to your weird uncle who still thinks Bitcoin is a new type of toaster. 🍞 Positive earnings reports from companies like McDonald’s (yes, the same place you order fries from while crying in your car) and Apple’s decision to toss $100 billion into the U.S. economy-because why not?-seem to have cheered up both stocks and crypto markets. Bitcoin, which had taken a nosedive all the way to $112K, rebounded like a kid pretending they didn’t just trip in front of their crush. It’s now back above $115K, where it’s been happily hanging out like it owns the place.

Meet the “Trend Accumulation Score,” a lofty guardian that doesn’t see the market live, merely peering through a two-week telescope-so outdated it’s practically a relic. This late bloom begs the question: are these waves of hoarding new or just echoes of the July dip, that fateful moment when Bitcoin dipped from a lofty peak of $117,000 down to a modest $110,000?

Le fameux avocat Bill Morgan, en bon messager de la sagesse juridique, a confirmé sur X (oui, cette plateforme où l’on s’émerveille du dernier chat en ligne) que les deux protagonistes, Ripple et la SEC, seraient à la dernière étape du grand cirque judiciaire. Tout ce qui reste à faire, c’est pour les commissaires SEC de voter pour abandonner cette mascarade, et voilà que les papiers officiels pourront enfin faire leur voyage de la relâchement, ou plutôt, de la suspension… Ou pas. Qui sait !

ETH, in its current dalliance with consolidation, clings to the $4,000 chandelier with the desperation of a Victorian poet clutching a last shilling. The $3,400 support zone is defended with the vigor of a man who’s just discovered his ex’s new crypto wallet. Meanwhile, the 100-day moving average, that most ardent of suitors, curls upward like a Victorian glove reaching for a handshake. 💃
