Our dear protagonist, Michael Saylor, perennially steadfast in his Bitcoin journey, is once again courting the venerable denizens of Wall Street with grandiose ambitions. With unprecedented flair, Strategy Inc., previously known as MicroStrategy, has proclaimed its intent to unveil an initial public offering of its recently conceived Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock—an appellation that rolls off the tongue so smoothly, one might think it crafted for a theatrical character. 🎪

So, Western Union is like, “Hey, let’s put some stablecoins in our digital wallet.” Because why not? CEO Devin McGranahan is all excited about buying and selling crypto within a regulated framework. I mean, who needs traditional banking when you can have crypto, right? 😏

The renewed confidence in the market has reignited interest in these high-risk, high-reward tokens, with meme coins once again leading the charge. It’s like they never left the party! 🎉

Among the fallen, DOGE stands out, not for its resilience, but for its swift decline, plummeting by 4.78%. It seems the Shiba Inu has decided to play fetch with its value, much to the amusement of the market. 🏃‍♂️🐶

Now, picture this: SHIB prancing with a shiny valuation of $8.86 billion, while BCH sits there at $10.35 billion, twirling its mustache and looking rather smug. Well, after a delightful two-week romp, our furry friend is gearing up to crank up the competition and snatch the 17th spot on CoinMarketCap — an achievement it hasn’t sniffed at since last year! 🌟

The integration with Transak, effective July 22, follows Metamask’s first native support for a blockchain operating outside the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Users can now buy solana (SOL) using local fiat currency through credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers facilitated by Transak. Oh, the humanity! 🤡

In the grand tradition of crypto saving the world, one blockchain at a time, Somos Axolotl, a Solana (SOL) validator, has kicked off a conservation project in Mexico City. The mission? To protect the Axolotl, a creature so rare it makes a unicorn look like a common house cat. 🦄

As announced just last week (with all the fanfare of a royal proclamation), Block will officially join the elite list starting July 23rd. A round of applause, please, for the company that tracks the stock performance of companies that, well, actually matter in the grand scheme of things. Or so they say. 🙄

According to Shibburn, 21,611,083 SHIB have been burned in the last 24 hours. That’s a big number, but let’s put it into perspective – it’s still a drop in the ocean (or should I say, a token in the trillion-strong supply? 🌊). A single transaction sent 16,444,740 SHIB to a dead wallet, because that’s where all the cool tokens hang out 💀.

According to those clever folks who track blockchain data (shoutout to Arkham Intelligence), on July 22nd, a wallet linked to SpaceX transferred 1,308.45 BTC—worth roughly $152.91 million—to a shiny new address. And just for kicks, they sent a tiny transaction fee of 0.000248 BTC ($29) to Coinbase Prime before making the big move. You know, because why not? 😅
