Periods of consecutive monthly losses, notably in 2014 and again in 2018, marked the unwind of overheated rallies rather than structural failure. Recent weakness follows the same pattern, which is just a fancy way of saying, “Hey, remember that time we all lost our minds and now we’re paying the price?”
Traders, those ever-watchful souls, are now clutching their pearls and charts, pondering whether the next support levels will halt this downward spiral. The crypto market, in its current state of frailty, has only exacerbated the decline. Network activity and institutional interest? Darling, they’re but mere footnotes in this melodrama of short-term bearishness.
According to a letter that’s hotter than a subway platform in August, first spilled by CNN’s Allison Morrow, James and her crew (including Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who’s probably juggling this with his other 47 jobs) are calling out the GENIUS Act for being more like the “Oops, We Forgot to Protect Victims Act.” They argue it gives stablecoins a shiny “imprimatur of legitimacy” without bothering to add the necessary guardrails to stop terrorism financing, drug trafficking, money laundering, and cryptocurrency fraud. Because who needs safeguards when you can just call it “genius,” right?
This expansion, a marriage of convenience between Opera and Tether, brings the USDT stablecoin and the gold-backed XAU₮0 token-a bridged creation not of Tether’s own making-into the embrace of MiniPay, Opera’s self-custodial wallet built on the Celo blockchain. A noble endeavor, no doubt, targeting the wretched of the earth in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, who, deprived of traditional banking, now have access to digital dollars. MiniPay, since its late 2023 debut, has processed 350 million transactions and activated over 12.6 million wallets. A triumph of technology, or merely a new guise for old exploitation? The jury is still out.
The 1-day chart, a canvas of hope and despair, reveals a bullish shift in December, as if MYX had discovered a hidden script. Buyers, emboldened by this revelation, pushed prices above the $3.7-$4.0 supply zone, a barrier as stubborn as a Chekhovian landowning peasant. The 20 and 50-period moving averages, those faithful narrators of trend, have chronicled MYX’s ascent with quiet approval. Over the weekend, MYX defended the 50 DMA with the tenacity of a character in a Chekhov play, only to bounce higher, leaving onlookers to wonder if this is comedy or tragedy.

In a dramatic twist worthy of a soap opera, we look back to July 2025 when Bitcoin was the talk of the town, strutting its stuff ahead of even silver and the tech titan Alphabet. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
BBBY shares buzzed up 7% on Monday, when the relit retailer announced it would nab Tokens.com and unfurl a platform dedicated to asset tokenization, starting with real estate.
Word slips out, as unassuming as rain on a tin roof, that the exchange is in early negotiations with retail brokerages to relaunch these contracts. It’s not charity, nor a prayer; it’s a wager on a future that may arrive before the calendar says so, and someone has to keep score when the wind changes.
In a world where cryptocurrencies are already floundering about like a fish out of water, social media has now latched onto a grand revelation of over three million pages of delightful documents, images, and videos-yes, quite a plethora-pertaining to investigations into the late purveyor of mischief, Jeffrey Epstein. It appears our dear DOJ decided that we could all do with some intrigue, particularly when many of these records flirt with the notion of digital currencies and, heaven help us, bitcoin.
