BTC’s takin’ a wee breather, but I reckon those buyin’ spirits might hold steady ’round $113,000.

Permit me to lay out the grand tale that awaits. Herein lies our navigational chart, or ‘Table of Contents,’ as the bookworms call it:

The fine folks of the U.S. House of Representatives are trippin’ over themselves to get some votes in on two major pieces of legislation: the CLARITY Act (what a lofty name!) and the GENIUS Act (because who wouldn’t want to be labeled a genius?).

According to TRM Labs, the blockchain sleuths of the digital underworld, both the darknet platform and its clearnet mirror went dark in early July 2024. The sudden shutdown has left users locked out of their accounts, unable to recover funds, and feeling like they’ve been played in a high-stakes game of digital three-card Monte. 🎩🃏

Oh, the irony! Blockchain security savants at Carbontec have illuminated a rather significant design quirk in the illustrious 1inch’s Aggregation Router v6 smart contract—an essential cog in the defi machine that orchestrates token exchanges for a vast legion of users. What’s the scandalous twist, you ask? Anyone and their pet goldfish could withdraw tokens that had mislaid themselves into the contract; the privilege was not reserved solely for the owner. Talk about sharing! 🐠💰

According to a press release shared with crypto.news on July 15, Boundless Network has deployed its Mainnet Beta on Coinbase’s Base blockchain, introducing what they call the first “universal” zero-knowledge protocol. Backed by RISC Zero’s zkVM, the incentivized testnet has already drawn participation from major players including the Ethereum Foundation, Wormhole, and EigenLayer—an unusual show of early confidence for a project still in beta.

Well, well, well! Looks like Cronos [CRO] just decided to pull a dramatic stunt — plummeting over 11% in just a day’s time! Quite a drop for what was shaping up to be a lovely upward dance. 🎢

They have christened this grand initiative the California Breakthrough Project, a name that sounds as if it were born from a coffee shop brainstorming session. Executives from Ripple, Coinbase, MoonPay, and possibly a few fortune tellers will don their wizard hats to “advise and advance”—whatever that means—this new era of collaboration, as reported by the gallant scribe, Eleanor Terrett. 🧐

Now, hold on to your hats, because as of today—July 15, in case you’ve lost your calendar—the 23-day moving average is inching its way toward crossing above the 200-day moving average. And no, that’s not a scene from a convoluted plot twist; it’s happening! It’s been months since these lines shared such a flirtatious proximity. They haven’t nestled together yet, but you can almost hear the romantic music swelling in the background. 🎶 Once they finally cozy up and confirm this “golden cross” pattern, we might just be on the brink of a trend that everyone will be talking about—well, at least until the next big thing rolls around.
