In a keynote address that could only be described as a soliloquy of hope, Atkins, at the OECD’s grand roundtable, vowed to unshackle the potential of digital assets. With a wave of his rhetorical wand, he banished the specter of “weaponization”-a term he wielded with the precision of a Wildean wit-that had hitherto stifled the crypto realm under the reign of his predecessor, the formidable Gary Gensler. 🗡️💔
Starting from the gloriously modest $110,200 mark, Bitcoin tried to convince us it’s back by climbing over $111,500 and $112,500 resistance levels (like dodging a laundry pile).
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) didn’t hold back, unleashing fiery remarks about the opacity of this process. She insists Republicans sneaked out a 182-page draft-because who needs *length*, am I right?-without involving Democrats or even letting us know who whispered sweet nothings into their ear.
But fear not, dear digital coin enthusiasts, for Maartunn, a seemingly enlightened individual who has decoded the arcane mysteries of Bitcoin’s on-chain data, insists that there’s an optimistic underlying story. While the price charts are waging war with uncertainty, Bitcoin’s network fundamentals are like a calm oasis in the middle of a desert of volatility.

Now, why is everyone suddenly wagging their tails in excitement? Well, there’s a big, shiny bone in the form of institutional demand. Cleancore, a company cleaning up in the corporate world (literally), made a very public move, announcing a $235 million investment in Dogecoin, with plans to snap up 1 billion DOGE over the next 30 days. That’s right-Dogecoin is getting some serious corporate street cred. 🧼💼
This market leg is starting to feel like a Solana [SOL] rollercoaster-complete with screams, thrills, and the occasional barf bag. 🎢🤢
Breaking news (because who ever said banking can’t be spicy?): Ripple just inked a deal with Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), expanding their custodial kingdom across Europe like a crypto conquistador with an extra dose of sass.
XRP reserves spiked by 1.2 billion tokens in just one day, led by Binance’s 610 million surge. Hmm, what’s cooking there? 🍳
According to data from Everstake.eth, those fancy compounding validators-basically crypto’s version of hoarders but with style-have doubled their ETH stash in just one month. They now command 2.026 million ETH, or about 5.67% of all staked Ethereum. If that sounds like a “huddle-up” for the network, well, it is. This is the highest concentration of compounding since Ethereum went all proof-of-stake swagger.
