BTC pulled back after a valiant attempt to break through the almighty $94.5K ceiling. Meanwhile, the 3-day heatmap is looking suspiciously like a magnet, with long liquidity building up heavily between $89K and $87K.

The UAE’s telecom behemoth, e& (formerly Etisalat, but who’s counting?), has announced its latest thrilling adventure in the world of digital finance.

Apparently, Solana has maintained 100% uptime for 12 months, which is more than I can say for my attention span during family gatherings.

Behold! Trust Wallet users may now procure Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Solana (SOL) via Revolut’s digital pipeline-because nothing says “luxury” like buying crypto with a tap. The announcement arrived on Thursday, no doubt while someone was sipping champagne and rolling their eyes at the audacity of it all.
Mr. Andrew Allen, a distinguished protocol specialist at Coinbase, recently declared on X that users may now trade all Solana (SOL) tokens via this DEX integration, “without listings,” he noted, adding with a flourish, “Very soon, you shall open the Coinbase app and behold native Solana assets as if they were your own inheritance!”
