During a recent earnings gabfest, McGranahan blurted out that Western Union is “actively putting on a circus show with stablecoin magic tricks,” allowing them to ditch those dusty old banking systems, pick up the speed, and nab that elusive capital efficiency. 🎩✨
For a while there, it hovered around $0.172, which, let’s be real, is less than the price of a decent gumball. But then, a miracle! Or maybe just a bored whale with too much money. Overnight, it jumped 20%. Twenty percent! It’s now at $0.25, a “three-week peak,” which sounds far more impressive than it is. It’s like saying your houseplant reached a “three-week height record” after you finally remembered to water it. 🌱
Alas, Bitcoin’s journey hath not been without its trials. ‘Twas but a fleeting moment ago that it dipped below the $108,000 mark, testing the mettle of its adherents at the $106,720 zone. Yet, lo! A fresh increase hath taken root, propelled by a surge past the $112,000 resistance.
The Journal’s informants, those scurrying little mice in the corridors of power, whisper that this was brewing for a while. Old Gasparino, the Fox fellow, hinted as much some time ago. A pardon! Imagine the audacity! As if a few rules are meant for lesser folk.
Well, the sky’s the limit-or at least $3.1 and $3.4-if the cryptocurrency gods are feeling generous. Still, don’t get ahead of yourselves; XRP needs to conquer the tricky $2.64 and $2.77 levels first, like a squirrel editing out the nuts it doesn’t want.
Hold onto your wallets, XRP is flirting with $2.63, inching closer to the glorious $2.75-$2.80 resistance range, which could launch it towards $3! 🚀 After weeks of being a total wallflower, XRP’s decided to get back in the dance and gain more than 10%. Oh, and it broke above the 200-day moving average, which, in technical terms, means-get ready for some drama. 🏆
Recent whispers (and blockchain footprints) suggest these crypto krakens are regaining appetite for Ethereum, the altcoin kingpin. Could it be the return of investor confidence? Or just a midlife crisis for institutional wallets?
Mr. Pavlovski, in a moment of what can only be described as corporate bravery, told content creator David Freiheit (aka “Viva Frei”-because nothing says freedom like a username that sounds like a cat vomiting) that the feature is “in testing.” Testing, as in “we’ve got it working on our dev server and hope it doesn’t crash when 51 million people try to send Bitcoin to a goat.” He even shared the first tip on X, which is either a social media platform or a code name for “the internet’s least surprising place to buy crypto.”
Forsooth, the XRP/BTC pair has not merely broken free but retested the very trendline that once held it in thrall, a ritual of purification that certifies the birth of a new era of momentum. A veritable phoenix, rising from the ashes of its own mediocrity. 🔥
Oh, but the plot thickens – Bitcoin climbed to 10-day peaks near $114,000 as President Trump, probably in the middle of deciding which tie to wear, prepares for his big meeting with China’s Xi Jinping. The two are set to discuss trade relations in Korea, capping off Trump’s whirlwind week-long Asia tour. Talk about high stakes! Meanwhile, global markets are buzzing with optimism after Trump oversaw a peace pact between Cambodia and Thailand, proving once again that diplomacy can move markets (who knew?).
