Two exchanges, Zedcex and Zedxion, masqueraded as separate entities but danced in perfect unison, like Siamese twins sharing a single wallet. Between 2023 and 2025, IRGC-linked transactions accounted for 56% of their total volume. The weapon of choice? Tether (USDT) on the Tron blockchain, a tool as subtle as a sledgehammer yet as efficient as a Swiss watch. Low costs, high liquidity-the perfect escape hatch for the sanctioned soul. 🤑

For most cryptocurrencies-Ah, Bitcoin, that enigmatic titan of the blockchain-the 2018 cycle highs are but a faded inkblot on a parchment. Monero, however, clings to its ATH of $542.33 like a child to a lost balloon. The price tag clings to Jan. 9, 2018, a date that outlived the bull run itself. One imagines XMR whispering, “Remember me?” to a sleeping world.

On the day of January the eleventh, the vigilant blockchain tracking service known as Whale Alert brought attention to a quintet of curious freezing deeds, executed with the thoroughness reminiscent of Tolstoy’s most disciplined characters, by the institution of Tether.

it’s probably more limbo and a 50% chance the universe shrugs.

Now, the crypto intelligentsia-chiefly one Steph, a self-styled analyst whose musings on X resemble the ramblings of a particularly verbose fortune cookie-have fixated on a technical level so stubborn it might as well be a British aristocrat at a cocktail party. This level, they claim, holds the key to XRP’s destiny, a vantage point from which we can all gaze upon its latest price outlook with a mixture of pity and schadenfreude.

And now, BNY Mellon, a bank possessing the rather extravagant sum of $50 trillion in assets – enough to make a lesser mortal swoon – has decided to launch tokenized deposits. Digital versions of cash, you see. Positively futuristic! And who did they select as an early adopter, you ask? Ripple Prime, naturally. One always expects the best to recognize the best. ✨

Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market, ever the fickle mistress, has decided to trade in shades of melancholy over the past 24 hours. While a select few tokens manage to muster a slight cheer, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) enjoy their marginal moments of glory, whereas Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and their sadder siblings languish in bearish obscurity. Such drama! 🎭

The MHRA, in a theatrical raid worthy of a stage play, stormed an industrial estate in Northampton, where they discovered retatrutide-the “Godzilla” of weight-loss jabs-alongside £20,000 in cash, raw chemicals, and enough manufacturing gear to build a pharmaceutical Noah’s Ark. The street value? A tidy £250,000, though one suspects the real treasure lies in the audacity of it all. 🏭💊

Behold, Ethereum! That beleaguered titan, now marching toward 2026 with a roadmap as ambitious as a drunkard’s promise to quit. Fusaka, BPO, and other such alchemical names-these upgrades are but the latest prayers offered at the altar of relevance. Yet, as on-chain usage swells like a bloated ego, one cannot help but wonder: Is this progress, or merely a fever dream? 🧠💥
