Crypto Chaos: BTC, ETH, SOL, TAO, APE – What’s the Fuss? 🤑💸

by

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the cryptocurrency market taking a nosedive like a wizard who’s forgotten how to levitate! 🧙‍♂️💥 Bitcoin (BTC), the so-called “flagship” of the crypto fleet, has been trading in the red more often than a tomato at a salad convention. 🍅 BTC flirted with $114,000 on Thursday but couldn’t muster the momentum to push higher. Sellers swooped in like seagulls at a picnic, pushing it down to $111,998 before it recovered to its current level. Down over 1% during the session, it’s now hovering around $112,600. Demand is cooling faster than a cup of tea left on a Discworld winter morning. ☕❄️

Ethereum (ETH), the plucky sidekick, is also struggling to keep its head above water, down nearly 1% and trading around $4,278. Ripple (XRP) is down over 2%, Solana (SOL) is down 2.04% at $183, and Dogecoin (DOGE) is down nearly 3%. Cardano (ADA) is clinging to $0.854, down 2.50%. Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Hedera (HBAR), Litecoin (LTC), Toncoin (TON), and Polkadot (DOT) are all taking a beating like a drum at a dwarf wedding. 🥁👀

Coinbase Lists USD1 Stablecoin – Because Why Not? 💰

Coinbase, the crypto giant, has listed World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin. Users can now buy, sell, convert, send, and store it like it’s going out of fashion. 🛍️ Eric Trump, in a surprising twist, minted $205 million worth of USD1 for World Liberty Financial’s treasury. Because, you know, why not? 🤷‍♂️

“USD1 is now live on Coinbase! Buy, sell, convert, send, receive, or store it – we’ve got it all!” 🎉

The USD1 stablecoin will initially be supported on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, with transfers available in approved regions. Local regulations may apply, because bureaucracy loves to stick its nose in. 📜👃

US House Says “No CBDC for You!” 🚫💳

The US House has added a provision to the defense policy bill banning the Federal Reserve from issuing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The House Rules Committee revised HR 3838, effectively telling the Fed, “You shall not pass!” 🧙‍♂️✋ The bill passed with a narrow 219-210 majority and now faces the Senate, where its future is as uncertain as a wizard’s hat size. 🎩

House Republicans promised to include the CBDC ban in the military spending bill, because nothing says “national security” like blocking digital currency. 🛡️💸 Hardline Republicans held crypto bills hostage until the ban was guaranteed, stalling debates for over nine hours. Drama, much? 🎭

“The Fed may not test, study, develop, create, or implement a digital currency. Period.” 📛

But hey, stablecoins are safe – as long as they’re “open, permissionless, and private.” So, there’s that. 🤓

Institutional adoption is booming, thanks to favorable US regulations and the GENIUS Act. 🧠✨
