ERA is the native utility token of Caldera, a platform that lets developers launch them fancy Layer 2 rollups on Ethereum and BNB Chain. It’s like a big ol’ toolbox, and ERA is the wrench that keeps everything runnin’ smoothly. It powers gas fees, validator staking, and on-chain governance, so it’s kinda like the unsung hero of the whole operation.
Ripple [XRP] was racing higher. The $3 psychological resistance level was being challenged by the bulls on Wednesday, the 16th of July. AMBCrypto reported that a move higher appeared likely, especially if the price managed to clear the $3.1 mark.
Shane Donovan Moore, a 37-year-old semi-professional rugby player from Seattle, operated a fraudulent company called Quantum Donovan LLC between January 2021 and October 2022, as per a July 17 DOJ statement.

Oh, how the markets love to unfurl their dramas! Typically, we see calm and collected traders pouting like children after options expire, adjusting to the patchy reality of the new trading landscape.
On July 17, the company’s Board of Directors authorized Thumzup to hold up to $250 million in cryptocurrency.

Now, if you’re keeping score, XRP’s market cap is sitting comfortably at $212 billion, zooming past Tether. Did I mention the market cap is up 65% this past month? No big deal, right? Just casual gains like it’s January sale on everything else.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. XRP’s price has officially broken past its previous all-time high of $3.40, hitting a new peak at $3.65 after a 20% rise. Now that XRP has broken above $3.40, a stronger rally could follow, with price targets at $3.80, $4.33, and even $4.72 in the coming weeks. 🚀💸
“All the hard data that came in this week says a rapid dive is a fantasy,” declared crypto hedge fund ZX Squared Capital partner Felix Xu, quite the connoisseur of numbers, to CryptoMoon. I suppose data can be more convincing than your aunt’s wild conspiracy theories about the moon landing.
But this is not merely a rebranding, my friends. No, indeed. This is an ambitious transformation, reminiscent of the great pioneers who dared to dream of a world where one app could rule them all. Inspired by platforms like WeChat (because, of course, why not aim for the behemoth of the digital world?), Coinbase has packed trading, payments, messaging, social features, and the oh-so-crucial dApp discovery into one neat little package. And what, you might ask, is the goal here? To recruit a new generation beyond the crypto-savvy elite and drag blockchain technology into the bright, shiny light of the mainstream. Naturally.
This delightful new purchase is merely the first flourish in what Smarter Web has dubbed its 10-Year Plan. Picture it now—a grand scheme to amass Bitcoin like a squirrel hoarding acorns for the winter. The goal? To construct an enduring fortress of digital assets that withstands the fiercest economic storms!
