Now, US users can fuel their Kraken wallets without sweat-or, let’s be honest, without the chaos of banking bureaucracy. With a few taps, they can toss money into the crypto abyss via PayPal, ACH transfers through Plaid, FedWire, or their trusty debit cards.

And of course, the seamless experience ensures that even grandpa could start trading-if he ever figures out how to open his laptop. 😂

Ripple, ever the gallant rebels, insisted XRP was not a security but just a really clever digital currency-because what’s the worst that could happen when you call money “digital”?

After what felt like a legal marathon that would make even the most dedicated of runners reconsider their life choices, the protracted standoff between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally reached its conclusion. Both parties, perhaps tired of the courtroom coffee and the endless legalese, have filed a joint stipulation to dismiss their appeals in the long-running XRP case. On the fateful day of August 7, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit received this joint filing, effectively putting an end to the SEC’s appeal (No. 24-2648) and Ripple’s cross-appeal (No. 24-2705). The legal tussle, which began in 2020, has been a defining case in the grand circus of how digital assets are treated under U.S. securities law. 🎪

While the crypto masses tremble under the boot of FUD, Arbitrum pirouettes with grace. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) stands at the precipice of $3 billion, a stone’s throw from its all-time high.

On a Thursday that will forever be known as “The Day Tether Got Serious About Siestas,” the stablecoin giant acquired a slice of Bit2Me, one of the largest crypto platforms for Spanish speakers. As part of this grand gesture, Tether is leading a €30 million funding round. Because nothing says “we’re serious” like throwing millions at a problem. 💸
