Meanwhile, Coinbase was busy soaring past its previous high of $429 from 2021, showing off like a peacock on a sunny day. But the smart money—or maybe just the audacious—began pulling out right after the rocket ride, knocking COIN down a notch from the firm’s top spot. Sad, but hey, that’s investing, isn’t it?

Have you seen those charts? They look like a Jackson Pollock painting—chaos splattered across the screen, with billion-dollar short squeezes lurking like shadows behind every pixel. Shallow stops crowned like tiny thrones, ready to crumble if the bears decide that enough is enough, and the bulls get loud. Who’s winning? Hard to say, but I’d bet on a good climax—perhaps with a spin of the wheel that sends prices soaring towards the dizzying heights of $125K—just enough to make your Grandma smile at her screen. Or not. Anyway, comedians bet on both sides—who needs a betting line when Bitcoin itself is the unpredictable punchline? 😂

Interoperability, that elusive dream of blockchain enthusiasts, is finally taking shape before our very eyes. Assets now flow across chains as smoothly as vodka flows at a Russian wedding—without the headaches typically associated with bridging or swapping into native tokens. Enso, ever the cunning architect, has bundled these labyrinthine operations into a singular interaction. What joy this brings to users! Time saved, fees slashed, and developers spared the torment of wrestling with multiple smart contracts across chains.

On Tuesday, July 28, the SEC announced it had finalized orders allowing authorized participants to create and redeem shares of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) using the underlying digital assets—Bitcoin or Ethereum—instead of cash. Because, you know, cash is so last century. 💸

In a delightful twist that could only be penned by fate, China’s mining behemoth, Bitmain, is intent on expanding its operations like a scholar on a quest for knowledge—this time with a manufacturing doozy in the good ol’ U.S. of A. Meanwhile, our friends in Vietnam are twinkling their toes into crypto regulations thanks to a promising tête-à-tête with Upbit, while the FBI is playing the role of digital Robin Hood by taking down some rather nefarious ransomware villains. Not to mention, Japan has taken a leap of faith into the digital future with those fancy NFT vending machines, marking milestones in blockchain adoption that would make even the most stoic of accountants crack a smile.

This proclamation, etched into the digital tablets of platform X, follows the murmurs that Coinbase, the American leviathan, sought to swallow CoinDCX for a mere $900 million—a pittance compared to its 2021 glory valuation of $2.2 billion. Ah, the fickleness of fortune! 📉

In the cold, unyielding embrace of the digital frontier, like a cowboy rounding up cattle in a vast and unpredictable range, Anchorage Digital—a formidable player in the landscape of U.S. digital asset banking—has rustled up a hefty haul of 10,141 Bitcoin, lighting up the financial landscape at the daunting price tag of $1.19 billion.

Picture this: in a move straight out of a fever dream, CEA announced a PIPE financing round so oversubscribed it might as well have been a royal banquet, backed by the likes of 10X Capital and YZi Labs.
