David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO Emeritus, descended into the fray to defend the company’s latest accusation: that its shareholders feast while retail buyers gnaw on crumbs.

On the fateful day of March 15, the whispers of the blockchain oracles and the twittering birds of social media began to chirp in unison. A wallet, with the address 0x1a35bd28efd46cfc46c2136f878777d69ae16231, had performed a most curious jig, supplying a veritable mountain of $THE tokens to the Venus lending market. Ah, but what a performance it was-a flash of brilliance, or perhaps, a flash loan of mischief.

In a move that’s bound to make conspiracy theorists giggle, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to drop its civil fraud lawsuit against Nader Al-Naji, founder of BitClout, the social media platform that once tried to make your follower count a tradable asset. They were upset about his “unregistered securities,” but now they’re not. Go figure.

Remember when Bitcoin hit $126,100 in October 2025? That was the day your neighbor’s dog became a millionaire. Since then, BTC has been on a rollercoaster smoother than a yoga instructor’s Instagram feed. Darkfost, in a recent X post that read like a therapy session for investors, noted the 159-day correction phase. For context, that’s shorter than your attention span during a Zoom meeting about Zoom meetings.

The result? A price chart as thrilling as a damp Sunday in the countryside, leaving bulls as frustrated as a vicar locked out of his rectory.

Bonk.fun, a community-driven token launch platform tied to the BONK meme coin ecosystem and supported by the Solana decentralized exchange ( DEX) infrastructure around Raydium, suffered a domain hijack this week after attackers gained control of an account linked to the site’s domain or hosting provider.

The drama began when CZ posted on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) that TrustWallet already has a system in place that does this filtering, while Etherscan continues to show zero-value poisoning transactions that flood user wallets like an all-you-can-eat spam buffet.

In the hallowed halls of the Rajya Sabha, where the air is thick with the scent of ambition and the echo of empty promises, AAP’s Raghav Chadha has unveiled his latest brainchild: “The Asset Tokenisation (Regulation) Bill, 2026.” A Private Member’s Bill, no less, it arrives with all the fanfare of a monsoon wedding and about as much chance of success.

Artemis, that cold, unblinking eye of data, tells us that Ethereum and Solana are the last bastions of hope, their ecosystems buzzing with activity while the rest of the crypto world slumbers in apathy. In the Ethereum realm, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) roars with 31,620 weekly commits, a testament to the relentless spirit of its developers. And Solana, the young upstart, follows closely with its Virtual Machine (SVM) Layer 1 and Layer 2, boasting 7,056 weekly commits. Yet, even these heroes are not immune to the plague of decline that has gripped the crypto ecosystem.

But hey, the XRP token itself? It’s been doing the cha-cha, shimmying up to $1.45 before getting stopped like a bad pickup line at a wedding. Will it break through or break down? Stay tuned, folks-it’s more dramatic than a Mel Brooks plot twist!
