In a rather mind-boggling twist of events, a staggering 1.31 trillion SHIB tokens changed hands, translating to around $15,589,000 in good, old-fashioned cash! Over the past week, large transactions have collectively totaled 1.54 trillion SHIB as investors throw caution to the wind and dance around this meme coin like it’s 1999.
At current prices, these tokens are worth $21.84 million, which is roughly the cost of Elon Musk’s next tweet. Whale accumulation is often seen as a bullish sign because, let’s face it, whales are smarter than your average retail trader. They’ve got the brains, the bucks, and the blubber to make things happen. 🐋
It appears the mere hint of leniency, arriving as it did late upon a Friday (presumably after a satisfying dinner), has soothed the nerves of investors, who had consoled themselves with fears of exorbitant prices and diminished prospects. The market, ever attentive to tidings of such import, responded with a veritable flurry of optimism, as if Mr. Bitcoin himself had ordered champagne.
But wait, there’s more! As the collective jaw of the blockchain world hits the floor, Mantra DAO (the shadowy puppet masters, if one fancies a bit of drama) casually slides $26.95 million in OM tokens to a Binance wallet. This happened right after the price crash. The sheer lack of subtlety is almost inspiring. 🚶♂️💸
Over the past week, Cardano has bounced back by about 10%, giving traders who had been weeping into their coffee mugs some much-needed hope. ☕ CoinMarketCap data shows ADA was trading around $0.637 as of press time. Reports also show that ADA is flirting with its 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This line, which tracks the coin’s price over the past 20 days, is like a stern schoolteacher—always paying more attention to the most recent antics. A move above this level often signals a shift in market direction, and boy, are traders watching closely!
Some whisper that this calamity is the result of the recent chainlink integration, a mere 24 hours old. Others, more cynical, suggest that the market is simply tired of the Pi Network’s antics. Whatever the cause, investors are once again wringing their hands, wondering if this altcoin will ever amount to anything. The internet, that great echo chamber of despair, is awash with questions: “Will Pi coin ever be worth anything?”
I’d love to tell you that Zksync—a layer two scaling protocol for Ethereum, presumably designed by engineers who lose sleep over fractional gas fees—spent their Tuesday sipping green tea and meditating. Alas. Instead, they burst onto X with an urgent post: someone swiped the keys to the admin castle and walked off with the sort of money most of us couldn’t launder if we tried. All this, mere weeks after the MANTRA melodrama. Crypto: come for the decentralization, stay for the trust issues.
Now, these Kaiko folks reckon that XRP and SOL are standin’ out like a sore
thumb as the most probable candidates to get hitched to such a product.

Oh, and let’s not forget the token launch that’s been delayed more times than my New Year’s resolutions. But hey, it’s finally happening on April 16, 2025. Except, surprise! Some users are already seeing tokens pop up in their wallets like, “Hey, we’re early!” 🎉
The $3 threshold, so beloved and reviled, is the Stalingrad of XRP: every inch retaken at terrible cost, every advance met with a blizzard of selling pressure. January saw it glance past $3, only to be dragged back into the mud by the cold, indifferent hands of profit-takers. Briefly it wept at $1.65, collecting itself in the darkness.
