In a groundbreaking choice similar to deciding between tea or the entire universe, Ctrl Alt will now wield the digital asset custody technology of Ripple. Imagine the Dubai Land Department’s Real Estate Tokenization Project, powered by the XRP Ledger, throwing away the manual in favor of a well-behaved, transparently stored blockchain. 🎩🔗

Meanwhile, Bull Bear Spot, with a keen eye for the macroeconomic pulse, noted a bullish divergence between LINK and M2 liquidity, suggesting that LINK, in all its digital glory, is still undervalued. With LINK trading above $16.00 and daily volume exceeding $659 million, market sentiment continues to support a sustained rally toward higher resistance zones. 🚀

As of the last tick of the clock, WIF stands proud at $1.04, having boldly breached the long-dreaded resistance around that notorious $1.00, which was beginning to feel like a wall of Jericho! The dance of price action reveals elegantly higher lows, while the range of $1.03–$1.05 now becomes a fancy resistance band under a trial by fire. Who will prevail? Only the market gods know, but perhaps the territories of $1.20 and $1.79 become mere stepping stones towards the divine realm of $3.57! 🍀

During the bank’s second-quarter earnings call, the illustrious CEO, Brian Moynihan, regaled the audience with tales of BoA’s stablecoin strategy, declaring with a flourish, “Our initial focus is on stablecoins as a transactional device, a veritable wand to wave over the vast sums of client assets that traverse our systems daily.” 🪄💰

This influx suggests that Binance, the exchange that’s as popular as a celebrity at a red carpet event, is experiencing a high demand for liquidity. The $1 billion worth of USDT it received is likely intended to meet this demand. Generally, such massive minting is often linked to institutional demand, which is about as surprising as finding a cat in a tree.

In a blog post dated July 16, BNB Chain shared its grand plan to achieve sub-150 millisecond finality and 20,000+ transactions per second (TPS) for complex operations such as swaps and yield strategies. The upgrade, planned for 2026, would position the network’s performance closer to Nasdaq’s matching engines than traditional blockchains. A feat enabled by a redesigned virtual machine, parallel execution, and Rust-based infrastructure. The team also revealed that recent optimizations, including a 95% reduction in malicious MEV and $0.01 median gas fees, have already laid the groundwork for this next phase.

Let’s recap: CEPO is basically a shiny blank check company focused on Bitcoin, helmed by Brandon Lutnick—who, besides being the head honcho of Cantor Fitzgerald, has the illustrious title of “son of former Trump administration Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.” Quite the family tree! 🌳

This little pause sent the cryptocurrency down to a mere $116,000, which, let’s be honest, feels like a drop in a well when you’re used to seeing it at stratospheric levels. But, as we know, Bitcoin doesn’t stay down for long – it’s back up by almost 2%, pushing it over $119,000, as if it never even needed a nap. Classic Bitcoin, right? 🤑

It was last month when JPMorgan, the global behemoth known for processing payments worth nearly $10 trillion daily, unveiled its grandiose plan to launch a “limited version” of a stablecoin, exclusively for its elite clientele. Dimon, ever the skeptic, warily remarked, “We’re going to be involved in both JPMorgan deposit coin and stablecoins to understand it, to be good at it.” The man, ever the traditionalist, remains less than thrilled about stablecoins’ superiority over the classic forms of payment. Yet, he begrudgingly admits, “We have to play the game, don’t we?”

The rate of Bitcoin (BTC) has increased by 1.06% since yesterday.
