According to the Financial Times (FT), Scott Bessent, the man with the keys to the Treasury vault, is “betting” that crypto will morph into a loyal customer for US Treasuries. You know, those boring pieces of paper that promise you’ll get your money back… eventually. Thanks to the GENIUS Act (because naming things creatively is clearly not their strong suit), stablecoins now need to be backed by actual dollars or Treasury bills. Groundbreaking stuff, right? 🙄

The new product, the Defiance Leveraged Long + Income XRP ETF, promises 150 to 200 percent exposure to XRP’s daily price moves. It’s like a rollercoaster with a “no safety belt” sign.

The buzz was immediate, as if summoned by some magical charm. Investors, like moths to a flame, swarmed YZY, causing its worth to soar to a staggering $3.2 billion before it decided to take a breather and settle in the neighborhood of $1.3 billion.

Oh, look, the Winklevoss twins-Tyler and Cameron, to be precise-are back at it, and this time they’re feeling *generous* (well, if you call $21 million in bitcoin, generous). They made the hefty donation to the Digital Freedom Fund political action committee (PAC), in hopes of transforming the U.S. into a glittering crypto haven. This happened on August 20, and trust us, it’s not your usual donation for a bake sale.

In the high-stakes aquarium of Nansen, centralized exchanges are choking on an extra 873 million tokens this week-a 5.74% bump that screams “We’re just browsing!” the way someone holding divorce papers says “We need to talk.” Total exchange inventory now sits at a puffed-up 16.07 billion. Meanwhile, whales trimmed their waistlines by 0.43 % (yes, the blockchain tracks that sort of thing) and those so-called “smart money” wallets-imagine hedge funds with hair plugs-slashed exposure by nearly 13 %. That left them holding a measly 136.51 million tokens, or roughly one pack of gum shy of a Costco bulk aisle.
