According to a Stellar release, aka an X handle that shares updates to the Stellar ecosystem, Stellar Core v23.0.0rc2 is now live. This release contains all the protocol changes for the protocol 23 CAPs (CAP-62 to CAP-70, except the rejected CAP-64) and is a release candidate for protocol 23, which will be promoted to “stable” if the protocol 23 upgrade is successful on testnet.
Somewhere in the gray morning, beneath the trembling leaves of Wall Street, the titans grind their teeth and shuffle digital coins like peasants shuffling rubles in the old days. Wordlessly, the invisible hand of BlackRock – that eternal clerk – sidles toward a prize so storied that even the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto might be stirred from his cryptographic nap. Yes, with their diligent ETF IBIT, BlackRock is within a bare stroll of possessing more Bitcoin than the great Satoshi himself. Remarkably, not a single samovar was shattered in the process.
The plan? Utilize Bitcoin not only as a treasury asset but as capital to acquire revenue-generating businesses.

The Altcoin Season Index, which purports to be a useful tracker rather than a glorified game of “Hot or Not” for cryptocurrencies, pits the top 50 altcoins against the eternal heavyweight that is Bitcoin. If most of these altcoins are doing better than Bitcoin over 90 days, it’s “Altcoin Season! 🎉” (The kind of party where everyone hopes their bags are packed with winners, and not, say, celery). If Bitcoin is still flexing over the altcoins, it’s still “Bitcoin Season”—which is basically every other Tuesday, plus most days ending in “y.”
Meanwhile, questions linger over whether the Pi Network is honest about the number of nodes it runs. One can almost hear the echo of a distant, “What ho, old bean!” from the crypto community.

According to a report by Dawn, PVARA will also ensure compliance with international standards, like the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines. This announcement follows a late May endorsement from Pakistan’s Ministry of Finance, which believes the country “must regulate not just to catch up, but to lead.”
In a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst discussed the latest trend in the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross. This indicator is based on the NVT Ratio, which compares the market cap of the cryptocurrency to its transaction volume.
