Lo and behold! The newly minted program is poised to bestow upon Japanese Web3 startups the princely sum of up to $200,000 in grant funding, all for the noble endeavor of building upon the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This initiative is but a continuation of Ripple Labs’ grand commitment of 1 billion XRP to foster blockchain innovation across the vast expanse of Asia. One might wonder if they have a secret vault of XRP hidden away somewhere!

Now, gather round, dear readers, for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has embarked on a jolly initiative involving the likes of Visa, ANZ, Fidelity International, and ChinaAMC Hong Kong. They are testing cross-border transactions using tokenized assets, which sounds rather like something out of a science fiction novel, doesn’t it? The experiment revealed how our friends down under could acquire Hong Kong money market fund (MMF) units using either the e-HKD or tokenized bank deposits. Quite the financial escapade! 🏦

Hold onto your hats, folks. PlanB, in a post supported by an incredibly flashy Bitcoin Relative Strength Index (RSI) chart (you know, the kind that only the truly initiated understand), has dropped a bombshell: Bitcoin could hit a whopping $130,000 by the end of June 2025. He claims that if Bitcoin’s RSI—essentially a fancy term for “how overbought an asset is”—retests 75, we could be looking at the moon.

“We have reached our deposit cap of $500 million.

And in the broader crypto universe? The CoinDesk 20 Index poked up by 0.75%, probably just to keep things interesting during the global fuss.

Все началось, как в самом увлекательном фельетоне: пользователь, как и подобает всякому уважающему себя непутевому инвестору, отправил 843 000 USDT в чужой адрес — вместо той милой корзины, что он нажимал в мечтах о богатстве. А всего через три часа, наш герой послал еще 1,75 миллиона USDT тому же адресу. И — бах! — все исчезает, как дым на весеннем ветру.

With an average purchase price of $105,426 per Bitcoin, one might wonder if the firm has taken leave of its senses or if it possesses a crystal ball revealing the future of cryptocurrency. Now, with this latest acquisition, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings have swelled to a jaw-dropping 582,000 BTC, a treasure trove worth over $62 billion at current market prices. Yes, you read that right—billion with a ‘B’! 💸

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has fallen from its May peak of $0.00001757 to a more modest $0.00001260—basically, the financial equivalent of stepping in dog poop. It’s currently hanging out at its lowest since May 7, which, considering the recent activity, is kind of like celebrating when the ice cream melts.

Why in tarnation are all these folks buyin’ fancy calls at $300,000 while the hedge at $85,000 is disappearin’ faster than dew on a June morning? Is the market settin’ itself up for somethin’ big enough to make a tornado look like a gentle breeze?
