This six-month odyssey will traverse 24 use cases, a veritable tapestry woven from the threads of banks, fintechs, and blockchain firms. Real-money applications will be put to the test across repo markets, private credit, carbon markets, and government securities – a true baptism by fire 🔥. The usual suspects are all present: CBA, ANZ, and Westpac, the three giants of Australian banking, each with their own agenda.

But, my dear reader, this is not just a pipe dream. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a man of great authority, echoes this sentiment, saying that dollar-linked stablecoins could hit $2 trillion and play a key role in strengthening the U.S. dollar’s global dominance. And with bipartisan support growing in Congress, the expansion of stablecoins seems inevitable. Ah, the wheels of progress are turning, and we are but mere spectators in this grand drama.

But wait, there’s more! The SGX is patiently waiting for the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to give them the green light. Once that happens, it will mark a significant step in bringing Bitcoin trading into the realm of traditional finance.

Ji, a Singaporean tax resident with a Chinese passport, has filed an objection in Delaware Bankruptcy Court, representing over 300 Chinese creditors 👥. He argues that FTX’s decision to label him a “Chinese creditor” based solely on his passport is a tad… unfair 😒. After all, he resides in Singapore, where the crypto laws are as clear as a tropical island’s waters 🌴.

Now, while the legendary trader is still holding onto his long position in BTC (because why not, right?), he’s throwing a little wet blanket on the whole celebration. He says if Bitcoin falls below $107,000, it might flip the script faster than a pancake at a Sunday brunch. 🍳

Dubai Duty Free, which reported over $1.12 billion in sales in the first half of 2025, plans to evaluate cryptocurrency acceptance for in-store and online purchases. Ramesh Cidambi, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free, emphasized the commitment to innovation and customer convenience. Both parties will conduct feasibility studies to develop crypto payment solutions and marketing strategies. Emirates Airline is also set to incorporate Crypto.com Pay into its booking systems by next year, allowing passengers to pay for tickets and services with cryptocurrency.

The word around the campfire (with Bloomberg stoking the flames) is that operations begin once those regulators say the word—because nothing says “fast-paced tech” like a few months of bureaucratic paperwork. 🗂️

Project Acacia is a joint effort between the RBA and the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre (DFCRC). It’s also backed by ASIC, APRA, and the Australian Treasury. So, basically, all the cool kids are doing it. 🤝

Mais attendez! Ce bal masqué n’est point pour tout le monde, non non. Le gâteau compte mille milliards (trillion, si vous goûtez l’anglais) de parts, et la pièce affiche un décor de 4 milliards en valeurs… CoinGecko prétend n’en connaître que 49 qui touchent ce zénith! Voilà pump.fun, star sur l’affiche avant même l’ouverture des rideaux 🍾.

And at the bustling centre of this quantum farce, Pepecoin is moonwalking through the chaos—leaping 10% daily 🚀 up to $0.00001108 as of July 10, 2025. Strong on-chain metrics and something called a “confirmed technical setup”—which sounds fancy enough to impress your uncle at dinner—hint Pepe may barge past resistance at $0.0000123 on its way to $0.000014. That’s the February 2025 peak—a time when, if you listened closely, you could hear investors weeping with joy (or perhaps just weeping).
