Ardoino, in a tone somewhere between frustration and reluctant acceptance, shared the unfortunate news: Juventus has, for reasons beyond his understanding, decided that Tether would not be a part of the ongoing capital raise. That’s right, the same capital raise that was announced back in April 2025. The one that could amount to anywhere between €15 million and €110 million. Talk about a wide range, huh? You’d think they’d at least narrow it down to avoid making all this sound like a guessing game.

Apparently, when you launch your IPO after politely refusing an aggressive $5 billion buyout (because who doesn’t love a bit of corporate drama?), you get to set records and raise eyebrows. So, in a move that could only be described as “bold,” Circle decided to keep playing the game themselves, improving their little stablecoin ecosystem with all the subtlety of a fireworks show on New Year’s Eve.

Open interest, folks, is just a fancy way of sayin’ how many folks are still holdin’ on to their dog treats—or contracts. This little uptick suggests that some Shiba Inu holders are dreamin’ of prices goin’ up, possibly hopin’ their furry investment might someday fetch a little more kibble.

But wait! According to some fancy-yet-cryptic platform called Alphractal, the whales seem to have taken a chill pill, calming down and reducing their bearish bets. So, maybe, just maybe, the big fish are done throwing tantrums.

Monero (XMR) has strutted up to $365, the highest since May 28 — that’s almost enough to make a pig dance— and now it’s sittin’ about 16% above where it was last week, which, if you ask me, is about as predictable as a crow on a wire. The chickens are peckin’ at other privacy coins too, like Horizen and Zcash, which is just fancy talk for ‘they want to keep their secrets.’ 🕵️‍♂️

BeInCrypto has done some serious number crunching on three lucky altcoins that are flirting with their all-time highs—and who knows, maybe even surpassing them. Spoiler: Things could get VERY interesting.

At a lavish event in Las Vegas, amidst the neon lights and slot machines, Garlinghouse addresses the crowd. “It’s not a zero-sum game,” he says, probably with a smug smile—because one might think that fighting over digital gold is serious business. In fact, he paints both Bitcoin and XRP as teammates in a grand mission to reshape the world’s banking system, which sounds almost poetic if you ignore the fact that money is involved. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin crowd may be busy arguing whether Satoshi was a genius or a conspirator, but Garlinghouse just gently suggests: “Maybe we’re all on the same side.” 💼🤝

Fresh from a successful initial public offering, the firm is eyeing a grander capital raise, announcing on Monday, June 2, that it intends to issue up to 32 million shares priced between $27 and $28—potentially raking in another $896 million. Yes, really—because if you’re going to dream, dream big (or at least dream of more cash). 💸

Switching from the charming tap-to-earn model to a more sophisticated trade-to-earn act, Blum is now attempting to reinvent itself as a decentralized exchange (DEX). Alas, the crowds seem more interested in their coffee than in trading, as the platform struggles amidst a sea of competitors vying for their digital attention.

“If Bitcoin does its normal 50% annually,” Balchunas muses on X (formerly Twitter, because who can keep track), “then Satoshi will pass Buffett this year and Zuck sometime next year-ish to become the second richest person in the world. A fascinating thought, that the creator of something this successful has never touched a single coin of it. Almost as if he’s trying to avoid the very thing most people worship: money.”
