How else but with a yawn could one describe XRP’s recent stint of lateral tedium (or “sideways consolidation” for those fond of euphemism)? Yet suddenly, with the petulance of a caffeinated dervish, the token pirouetted up to $2.40, its loftiest perch since the crypto cretaceous period (seven weeks ago, but one must embellish). Trading volume inflated—or, at least, attempted to nudge the needle enough for market optimists to clutch their pearls in anticipation. A bullish tease? Certainly, but not quite the stampede of a thousand exuberant bulls; perhaps merely a mild shuffling of hooves. 🐮💃

According to the rumor-mongers (official press release writers), Crypto.com Pay might infiltrate the booking process sometime next year—provided pilots don’t lose their keys to the blockchain tarmac. Should negotiations complete, Emirates may very well become the first major airline to accept your Ethereum for that window seat you will never get.

On one side of the river, you got the Cardano diehards. They’ll tell you ADA is the Promised Land, brimming with lightning-fast speed, bargain-bin transaction fees, pure-as-the-morning-dew decentralization, and—grab your spectacles—the only peer-reviewed crypto on this green earth. I suspect peer-reviewed means a group of well-dressed professors nodded at each other over tea and called it a day. 🍵

According to our crypto oracle CZ, when he landed in federal prison in May 2024 (not the holiday destination he had in mind, I wager), he was greeted by a robust sorting system: everyone got put together based on their ethnicity. Asians, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans—one big involuntary sleepover squad. Supposedly to prevent brawls, but the whole thing reads like a misguided attempt at house-sorting in Hogwarts gone very, very wrong.

Arthur Azizov, the founder of B2 Ventures, is sounding like a bit of a XRP fanboy. He reckons that if XRP can just hold on to its current price, it’ll be off to the moon (or at least to $6). The first hurdle to overcome is $2.65 – fingers crossed, everyone! 🤞

Cardano’s dominance, much like a masterfully crafted novel, has been steadily unfolding its narrative since a low of 0.6% on July 2, with the rise surpassing 0.65% in the early Wednesday session 📊.

The government says it’s necessary to disrupt the flow of illicit funds and criminal operations. Apparently, the current network of 221 crypto ATMs has been facilitating money laundering, particularly in connection with drug trafficking and transferring dirty money abroad. Shocking, I know!

The altcoin, much like a lone traveler in a storm, is currently facing a 26.4% decline over the past two weeks. As it charts its own path, the coin is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain its value in a market that seems to shift with the wind. 🌬️

So, you’re here for the good stuff, right? You don’t want to sit on the sidelines while others make their fortune. Let’s take a glance at some under-the-radar altcoins that might just be primed to explode, whether it’s from technical setups or fundamental drivers. Trust me, these coins are ready to make a splash.

According to a fancy announcement on July 9, Emirates has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Crypto.com to integrate digital payments into its services. And by services, we mean flights, in-flight meals, and possibly even those fancy airport lounges. The rollout will begin with Crypto.com Pay, because who needs cash when you can use cryptocurrency, right? 💸
