On the 24th of July, the illustrious Justin Sun, with his bravado reminiscent of a circus ringmaster, rang the Nasdaq bell to announce Tron’s debut. Little did the audience know, behind the melodrama lurked impressive milestones that just might whisper louder than the fanfare.
In what can only be described as an “urgent cry for help,” Storm took to X (formerly known as Twitter, lest we forget) on July 26, lamenting that his legal expenses are “piling up faster than a blockchain grows.”
So there you have it—a week filled with enough drama to rival a Bulgakov novel. Until next time, stay sharp, stay skeptical, and remember: in crypto, truth is stranger than fiction. 🌟📚
Meanwhile, crypto markets are holding their breath, praying the US-China tariff feud doesn’t erupt into a full-blown barn dance 🕺. Because nothing says “financial stability” like two superpowers arguing over soybeans.

Bloomberg’s wise man, Eric Balchunas, claims a new, somber epoch approaches. No more nightly terrors of sudden ruin or glories. No, the presence of sober ETFs and responsible gentlemen in suits will tame the beast. The delightfully sickening pendulum swings, once the only entertainment for insomniac hodlers, may start to resemble a municipal clock in Chelyabinsk: predictable, sturdy, and profoundly unexciting.
“The Act cleaves the chalice of speculation from the bread of utility,” he intones, his voice trembling with the weight of a thousand compliance officers. Yet one wonders: is this clarity or a Sisyphean farce? The EU’s MiCA regulation looms like a brooding specter, whispering, “We told you so.” 🌍
XRP is currently priced at $3.18, which is like finding a decent parking spot in Manhattan. It’s got a massive market cap above $188 billion, but it’s down over 9% this week. Short-term, it’s been pretty stable, but the recent pullback suggests people are cashing out after a good run. If XRP holds above $3.00, we might see a bounce to $3.40. But if it can’t hold, it’s gonna slide to $2.85. Classic crypto: up, down, who knows? 🤷♂️
According to an impressive little scoop from the Financial Times (you know, that tiny paper everyone reads), our dear Anthropic is aiming to fetch between $3 billion and $5 billion from investors in the Middle East. Because why not? They’ve clearly run out of things to buy in the neighborhood. 🏰
Now, if anyone is going to steer this ship filled with digital coins, it might as well be Trump, the self-proclaimed “Crypto President” (his own words, no joke!). His World Liberty Financial platform is on a mission to “make crypto and America great,” and I question if anyone told him that most of these investments are subject to the kind of scrutiny we reserve for high school kids trying to get into the prom. You know, all that pressure to be cool, or at least not a total embarrassment to the family. At least he churned out some “Trump Digital Trading Cards” and officially entered the meme market with the TRUMP memecoin because why not? 😅
