Ms. James, who appears to have time on her hands despite being grilled by the DOJ over unrelated matters, minced no words in her indictment. “No one should be left to fend for themselves after falling victim to a scam,” she declared with all the gravitas of a Shakespearean actor-but let’s face it, this is more slapstick than soliloquy. She concluded, as if auditioning for a legal drama, “I look forward to getting justice for the New Yorkers who suffered because of Zelle’s security failures.” Bravo, madam. Truly, an Oscar-worthy performance. 🎭

Bitcoin, that digital phoenix, soared to a record of $124,420-like a rock star reaching a crescendo-only to tumble down to $117,760 by Saturday. Its market cap, once proudly strutting at $2.47 trillion, has now shrunk a tad to $2.34 trillion. All this while the Fed’s odds of chopping interest rates are losing ground, thanks to that pesky stagflation beast lurking in the shadows.

In a post that would make even the most stoic of us ponder, KillaXBT, on August 15, delved deep into the soul of the monthly chart, using the candle range theory (CRT) to divine the potential paths of Bitcoin. According to this modern oracle, the coming month of September will be nothing short of a crucible for Bitcoin, a moment where it might just reach its zenith-or fall from grace.

According to data from Farside Investors (*insert dramatic pause here*), BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF gobbled up a whopping $519 million on August 14. And if that wasn’t enough to make your wallet weep, they added another $338 million the very next day. Yes, dear reader, BlackRock doesn’t just dip its toes into Ethereum-it cannonballs straight into the deep end. 💸💦

In a week that could only be described as a theatrical performance worthy of the grandest stage, the crypto economy appeared to maintain its momentum from the previous week, only to end with a whisper rather than a shout. The week’s performance, while slightly higher, belies the tumultuous events that transpired.

Crypto exchange Gemini has taken a rather grand step towards the altar of public ownership. The company’s S-1 statement, unveiled on Friday, August 15, 2025, is a veritable feast of financial finery. This makes Gemini the latest in a parade of crypto firms marching towards an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2025. Not to be outdone, Secretly, the company, had already filed a draft registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in early June. 🎉

Our charming coin first fluttered from $3.35 last Thursday (a sum that had made many an admirer’s heart beat audibly) toward the rather more mortal $3 on Friday, only to rally at the eleventh hour like a determined heroine in a wet gown. Yet this very oscillation has now summoned the ominous Death Cross upon the hourly chart-an emblem so melodramatic that even Mr. Collins might hesitate to name it aloud. One may assume it augurs further selling in the short term, assuming the coin refuses to fetch its smelling salts.

For those unacquainted with the term, open interest is but the total value of unsettled active futures contracts that our gallant investors have pledged to Dogecoin. This colossal sum of $3.42 billion suggests that the holders of this digital treasure are as bullish as a bull in a china shop! 🐂

As a result of being dismissed, Ripple managed to evade the potential multi-billion dollar fines initially suggested by regulators and instead opted for a settlement of $125 million. Notably, courts confirmed that XRP does not classify as a security; however, certain constraints continue to apply to future institutional sales.

But wait, don’t hang up your digital wallet just yet! Despite this rather unimpressive plunge, Bitcoin’s market cap somehow managed a modest rise, climbing by 1.09% to a rather princely $2.34 trillion. Clearly, even the crypto world has its moments of glory. The stuff of legends. CoinMarketCap’s finest data is right here for the taking!
