Dan Morehead, of Pantera Capital – a name which sounds suspiciously like a Balkan potentate – has rather quietly, in the manner of a chap not wishing to cause a fuss, chucked twenty million dollars into the coffers of Openmind. They’re an AI outfit, naturally, and peddling open-source software which they assure us is the ‘missing layer’ in the wildly profitable, yet apparently disorganized, world of robotics. Coinbase Ventures and a gaggle of others joined in the fun, presumably hoping for a slice of the mechanical pie. 🥧

XRP built up a base above $3.10 and, like an over-caffeinated Bitcoin or Ethereum, had a go at climbing higher. It swaggered past $3.120 and $3.15, clearly feeling itself.

Bitso, that giant of a crypto exchange down in Latam, has released its “Crypto Landscape in Latin America – First Half 2025” report, and oh, what juicy gossip it contains! Apparently, while the region remains smitten with traditional cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, something curious is brewing. XRP-yes, that very same underdog everyone loves to underestimate-has been quietly gathering steam among investors like a sneaky locomotive on steroids. 🚂💨

In the grand pattern of space-time, TRON’s price structure plays like an old favorite tune on the jukebox-it’s been steadily ascending as if it knows a good gig is around the corner. Every pause for consolidation turns swiftly into an encore demand, attracting buyers with the allure of a Vogon poetry reading. If this trend continues, TRX might consider itself prepped for a run that could, dare I say, take it from “small planet” to “large cheese in the galaxy,” aiming for the dizzying heights of $1.

Paxos, currently operating under a New York state license, is on a mission to upgrade to a national trust bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). If successful, this federal license would allow Paxos to hold customer funds and process payments across all 50 states. Not too shabby!

It’s official-AVAX has climbed the ranks to become the second-largest blockchain in BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund by assets under management (AUM). That’s a fancy way of saying they’ve got over $53.8 million tokenized on-chain, putting them right behind the almighty Ethereum. This little climb doesn’t just mean more visibility; it means AVAX is now a go-to network for large-scale, real-world asset tokenization. 📊

Meet xU3O8, the brainchild of Curzon, trading on fancy platforms like Archax. It’s uranium, but make it fashion. 🌟 This tokenized wonder turns a market once reserved for fat cats into a playground for anyone with a wallet and a dream. Or at least $10. Because why should multimillion-dollar deals have all the fun?

With this newfound surge in supply, coupled with the ever-declining market conditions, traders seem to be scrambling like ants on a sugar trail, eager to make a quick buck. Naturally, this leads to an avalanche of selling pressure, and poor APT is caught in the crossfire of it all. Buckle up!

Our antihero, who once danced in the halls of crypto royalty, had gallantly (or perhaps foolishly) proclaimed his innocence on both charges-wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud-only to find himself at the mercy of the law, now agreeing to waive his right to a trial on these counts. The courtroom drama, as reported by the ever-watchful Inner City Press, promises to be as riveting as a soap opera, with a cast of characters straight out of a Nabokovian nightmare. 🎭

According to the ever-vigilant sleuths at Lookonchain, a certain Ethereum address (tagged “0x3952…”, which sounds like the name of a secret agent) decided to put on quite the show today. In less than 40 minutes, this whale performed a series of withdrawals so grand they’d make even Jeeves raise an eyebrow. A total of 21,000 ETH-worth a cool $90.6 million-was spirited away from Binance faster than you can say “blockchain.”
