Mercado Bitcoin, the digital asset platform that’s as popular in Latin America as chocolate in a sweet tooth’s mouth, has announced plans to tokenize more than $200 million in permissioned real-world assets (RWAs). These aren’t just any assets; we’re talking about fixed income and equity income instruments, the kind that make grown investors swoon. 💕

As of Saturday, July 5, XRP is trading at a respectable $2.22, with a market capitalization of $131 billion. The digital asset’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $1.33 billion, fluctuating within an intraday range of $2.20 to $2.24, while the weekly range extends from $2.17 to $2.30. 📊

Over the last seven days, the stablecoin market has climbed 0.84%, ticking up from $253.25 billion to $255.364 billion. Just $4.636 billion more and it’ll be staring down a fresh all-time high at the $260 billion mark. Right now, stablecoins make up about 7.7% of the $3.32 trillion crypto market. Tether’s USDT holds the lion’s share of the stablecoin pie, commanding 62.45% of the total fiat-pegged token market.

BREAKING: Cardano $ADA has now processed over 111 million transactions—secure, scalable, and built for the long game.

Our unfortunate protagonist reportedly flung nearly $7 million across a dizzying 18 bank transfers to East West Bank, and another breezy $9.7 million in 13 transfers to Cathay Bank. Not to be outdone, four million found its way to Citibank accounts. This makes $20 million—give or take an expensive lunch—lost in an epic example of what’s cheekily referred to as a “pig butchering” scam. The lawsuits, filed with all the drama of a Broadway debut in California federal court on July 1, 2025, allege that banks greeted suspicious, spectacularly round-numbered transactions with the enthusiasm of a bored night porter—not a raised eyebrow in sight.

Freshly into a new quarter where numbers are reset and optimism is legally required, Bitcoin has played footsie with its favorite levels: caressing $105,000 for support, romancing $110,000 for resistance, and, on Tuesday, plummeting to a two-week low—it just needed a nap, really. The rollercoaster continues as Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems bravely declares that BTC needs a solid rebound from the all-important $104,000-$106,000 zone, otherwise things could fall to the murky depths of $101,000, a price floor so forlorn only lost socks and unfulfilled ICOs reside there.

Recall the days when self-checkout was heralded as salvation? Alas, Walmart hath cast out these metal jesters—Princeton, New Jersey, now free from their robotic tyranny; Albuquerque, thrice so. The devil, as ever, lies not in efficiency, but in theft and shopper fury. Meanwhile, in the province of Texas, Sam’s Club hath raised a super-store with as many lanes as Molière’s wardrobe—none! AI now waves us through like aristocrats with a fast pass. 🛒

As we observe the chart (oh, such delightful art it is!), Dogecoin appears to be making a valiant attempt to rise from the ashes, creating higher lows—truly a mark of an uptrend. The $0.165 level, once a barrier, has been both broken and retested, as shown in the chart below. This area had previously served as a launching pad for Dogecoin’s heroic rally to $0.259 in May. And now, dear readers, this formation of higher highs and lows suggests that things may indeed look up… for the moment.

So, Moria. The protocol that, much like Raskolnikov with a conscience, accepts Bitcoin Cash as collateral, dispensing something called MUSD—a “stablecoin” clinging to the dollar by sheer willpower (and, allegedly, smart contracts). Moria’s raison d’être, apparently, is to let traders enjoy liquidity without selling the family silver. Or, in this case, their digital tchotchkes. Freedom cries out, “Have your BCH and spend it too!” 🤑
