Oh, and by the way, they officially announced this earlier today. It’s all over the place. You know, like that one guy who thinks he’s the life of the party. (Source: X)

Bitcoin [BTC] has been prancing about in a bullish mood since surpassing $123,000, yet it’s grown rather dull lately, with gains as modest as a wallflower at a ball. How tiresome.

Avalanche’s DeFi ecosystem has been on a growth spurt that would make any gym-goer jealous. Total value locked (TVL) has jumped 37%, hitting $1.5 billion, all thanks to the Octane upgrade. Faster transactions, lower fees, and a user interface that doesn’t make you want to pull your hair out? Yes, please! 🙌

His pièce de résistance? The illustrious SPX6900, a memecoin that has soared like a soufflé, ballooning over 10,000% since he waltzed in at a mere penny. Now, trading at a dizzying $2.20, this cheeky little number accounts for a staggering $66 million of his profits. Meanwhile, in a plot twist worthy of a farce, not every selection has been a winner—APU has plummeted by 53%, costing him a rather unfortunate $86,000. Oh, the irony! 🎭
The grown-ups in expensive shoes and even shinier egos—Pantera, Arrington, GSR, you know the usual parade—have dropped their monocles in shock, joining forces with CEA to get a slice of this Binancey pie. And technical wizardry comes courtesy of YZi Labs and 10X Capital. Someone fetch them a wizard’s hat and a large mug of ambition, please!
Yes, you heard right. The cunning folks behind Shiba Inu are now operating on the Base network, with a master plan to reduce the total supply of SHIB—just in case you wanted your meme coin to be as rare as a unicorn in your backyard. This “burn engine” is supposed to munch away at tokens faster than a dog with a steak, cheering on the hopes that fewer coins mean more money (or at least a bit of that elusive market stability). Think of it as a giant, high-tech zen garden where the stones (or tokens) are repeatedly cleared away, leaving only a smooth, shiny surface—if only to remind you that scarcity is the new black.

The ever-elusive price of our dear Bitcoin (BTC) remains astonishingly apathetic, teetering on the precipice of yesterday’s inconclusiveness. One would think it had stumbled upon a cat video instead of the market. 🐱💻

Ethereum has been riding a wave so high it’s making the Grand Canyon jealous. With a solid 60% jump in a month, it’s practically screaming, “Look at me!”

Crypto hacks, those pesky little things that keep us all on our toes, continue to plague crypto protocols. On the fateful Monday, July 28, a critical vulnerability on the NFT platform SuperRare (RARE) allowed attackers to steal an estimated $730,000 in RARE tokens. According to several crypto security platforms, including the ever-vigilant Blockaid, the attackers targeted one of SuperRare’s staking contracts, no doubt with the subtlety of a rhinoceros in a china shop. 🏦💥
