According to the Wall Street Journal report, Trump signed the pardon on Wednesday for Changpeng Zhao, the convicted founder of Binance, after expressing sympathy toward claims of political persecution against Zhao and others targeted by the Biden administration. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump “exercised his constitutional authority” and declared that “the Biden Administration’s war on crypto is over.” The decision could pave the way for Binance’s return to the U.S. market after it pleaded guilty in 2023 to violating anti-money-laundering laws and was banned from operating domestically. Zhao, who served four months in prison before his release in September 2024, had reportedly enlisted lobbyist Ches McDowell earlier this year to aid in securing clemency. Binance did not immediately respond to requests for comment, the Journal reported.

First, Ledger-Parisian and effortlessly chic-decided that calling their device a “hardware wallet” was so last season. They’ve now decided to go with something far more mysterious: “Ledger signers.” Très avant-garde, wouldn’t you agree? Their latest little gem, the Ledger Nano Gen5, was released this Thursday with all the bells and whistles, including, of course, a bigger screen. Because who doesn’t love staring at a shiny new screen while protecting their cryptos?

The newly rebranded “masterminds” (read: CEO David Schamis and ex-Barclays bigwig Bob Diamond) are now pivoting to digital assets with the focus of a caffeinated squirrel. 🐿️ Their target? The HYPE token, which they’ve stockpiled like it’s going out of style.

“I cherish the notion of Bitcoin,” Carlson intoned, his voice heavy with the weight of moral conviction, “for it whispers of financial autonomy, a fortress against the prying eyes of the state.” Yet here lies the rub: Bitcoin, that most transparent of ledgers, records every transaction in indelible ink, visible to all yet understood by few-a paradox that would make Dostoevsky himself clutch his chest in existential dread 🤯. “To be tracked,” he lamented, “is to be enslaved,” a sentiment echoing Tolstoy’s own musings on the chains of societal conformity.

Stablecoins, once the wallflowers of finance, have twirled their way to $46T in annual transactions-now elbowing Visa and PayPal off the dance floor. 💳

On Oct. 23, Reuters dropped a bombshell: Revolut got a crypto license from Cyprus… or was it a cleverly disguised banana peel? 🍌 The MiCA framework, this “passport” to EU madness, lets Revolut sell crypto everywhere without dealing with 27 different regulatory nightmares.

agreement across party lines. According to him, the ink on the majority of decisions may soon grace the draft text-an artifact as anticipated as a Dostoevskian plot twist.

The deal, according to co-founder Atul Khekade, positions XDC as “the most powerful institutional gateway” for tokenized trade-because nothing says “power” like settling real-world assets on a blockchain. A dream, yes, but one with APIs. 😎

Some guy who calls himself “Guy on the Earth”-probably actually just a guy in his basement, but who knows-says XRP’s been chilling in this consolidation trend for nearly a year. Like that one cousin who refuses to leave the party. But, here’s the kicker: it’s been maintaining higher lows, which, if you’re into that kind of thing, means it might actually break out. Remember November 2024? XRP shot up 600% like it caught a second wind after a nap. And now, the genius here thinks we’re on the verge of another euphoric phase, hitting a cool $6. Because nothing says stability like a crypto jumping 100%. Just what we needed, more high-stakes gambling! 🎲

What, you may ask, has brought about this calamity? Alas, the winds of change are unkind. Solana’s Percolator DEX has arrived, casting a shadow over Aster’s once-unassailable market share. Meanwhile, the breach of the $1.00 threshold and the ominous MACD “death cross” have sent traders into a tizzy, their confidence as fragile as a teacup in the hands of a nervous maid. And let us not forget DeFiLlama’s decision to delist Aster’s metrics, a move that has left many questioning its integrity. Truly, the plot thickens! 🧐🌀
