He announced, via his favored platform (X, naturally. Where else?), that BitChat is getting “location chat.” Because apparently, knowing someone is nearby isn’t creepy enough. Now you can “teleport” into chats with them. Which is a very generous way of saying it uses geohashes – look it up, I’m not explaining it. 🗺️ Honestly, it sounds like he’s trying to recreate the plot of a really niche sci-fi film.
Now, while the elder Trump is busy trying to turn the White House into a sort of country-club-cum-crypto-exchange, young Eric has decided his own half-life shall henceforth be spent in the blockchain trenches. He co-founded something called American Bitcoin (motto: “Because American Cheese was already taken”) and has hinted at a Nasdaq listing. If that doesn’t get the blood of retail investors fizzing like warm champagne, nothing will.
Could this herald a new era where Ethereum-like a bold poet chasing glory-dares to challenge the mighty Bitcoin? Could it be, that in a world of digital gold, Ethereum vies for the crown? And just as a painter captures beauty in a fleeting moment, so too does Ethereum seize the day! 🎨✨
The SEC, ever cautious, has postponed its verdict on the likes of Canary Capital, CoinShares, Bitwise, Grayscale, and 21Shares. One cannot help but wonder: are they merely biding their time until the curtain rises on ISO 20022? The crypto faithful certainly think so, their hopes pinned like a brooch on a velvet cloak. November 2025, they murmur, will be the month of reckoning-when SWIFT adopts the standard, and XRP ETFs, like phoenixes, rise from the ashes. 🔥
First on the playbill: our old friend, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) – that well-meaning bureaucratic hydra that cannot say ‘yes’, cannot say ‘no’, and specialises in saying ‘maybe, but not today’. Twice has our SEC shuffled the decisions on XRP ETF applications. Like a maître d’ with too many reservations, it now promises – cross its heart! – to provide a final verdict by October 2025. No more delays! Will they approve? Will they reject? 🕵️♂️ What suspense! The audience leans forward. Even the ushers are betting their snacks.
Shiba Inu gained over 2% in the past day, with bulls defending their turf like overzealous bouncers at a nightclub. 🐂💪 Early Wednesday, however, things looked grim as Bitcoin (BTC) and the rest of the crypto world started de-risking ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech. Spoiler alert: no one likes speeches about interest rates. 📉😴
According to the ever-earnest crypto.news, XRP presently trades at $2.93-up 19 % over three months and 63 % above its year-to-date nadir. A market capitalisation of $173.8 billion suggests the coin is still invited to the best parties, though its dance card is suspiciously blank. Daily volume of $6.4 billion proves that gossip alone can keep the chandeliers swinging.
OKX (OKB), that cunning token, climbed to a new all-time high near $197, driven by the grand spectacle of migrating to its native X Layer blockchain. A token supply revamp? Ah, the whims of the crypto aristocracy! 🏰
The token’s market cap briefly soared to a jaw-dropping $3 billion after launch. But hold your applause-or your panic button-because experts are already whispering (or shouting) about insider trading and market manipulation. 🐒💼
