Crypto news

XRP, once dismissed as a mere ledger entry, now dons the mantle of “pillar” in the DeFi coliseum. A report-less a document of insight than a press release in disguise-claims the token’s circulation within this ecosystem is swelling, a testament to humanity’s eternal quest to complicate the simple. The numbers, 222.2 million XRP, are less a triumph than a reminder that in crypto, anything multiplied by zero still yields zero. Yet, here we are, celebrating liquidity pools as if they were the Ark of the Covenant.

Chainlink (LINK), that fickle minx of the crypto world, has found itself in a pickle after a corrective move so aggressive it’d make a bull in a china shop blush. Having lost its footing at the $21 mark, it’s now clinging to $9.65 like a barnacle on a ship’s hull. This isn’t just any old support level-it’s the kind of support that’s been there through thick and thin, like a loyal hound dog in a storm.

Murphy, a veteran of the legal trenches, challenges the very foundation of the SEC’s argument with a clarity that borders on the comical. He asserts, with the confidence of a man who has seen the inner workings of the machine, that most legal minds versed in the arcane language of crypto never believed XRP to be a security. To him, the enforcement action under the leadership of Jay Clayton was not merely misguided but a testament to the hubris of those who wield power without wisdom. It was, in the grand scheme of things, a farce wrapped in the pretension of legal rigor.

Ah, the crypto markets-those delicate flowers, ever so sensitive to the whims of bureaucracy. The U.S. government, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to take a sabbatical, delaying the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report until such time as it can be bothered to resume operations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, with all the drama of a Victorian novelist, has declared the data shall remain locked away until the coffers are replenished. How quaint.

Thus, we find BTC ensnared in a corrective structure, much like a butterfly trapped in a net, unless it can convincingly reclaim the elusive $80,000 resistance. Until such a time, our market remains poised at a near-term turning point, with traders peering over their shoulders to see if Bitcoin can muster the courage to leap above $80,000 this week-or if it will instead plummet below the $77,500 support zone, leaving a trail of despair in its wake.

Remember that time KBank filed trademark applications for stablecoin tickers in July 2025? Well, they’re back, baby! According to KIPRIS’s database (which is basically the Dewey Decimal System of crypto), these applications are classified into everything from digital currency software to NFT-related shenanigans. Oh, and crypto mining too-because why not?

Galaxy Digital’s stock slid more than 6% in pre-market trading after unveiling a bleak fourth quarter: a net loss of 482 million for Q4 2025, as if the ledgers themselves sighed in despair.

But fear not, dear traders! The higher timeframe price charts are whispering sweet nothings into our ears, suggesting that perhaps, just perhaps, this is an opportune moment for a cheeky purchase. How delightful!

But fear not, dear reader, for the analysts-those modern-day soothsayers with spreadsheets-are here to assure us that Ethereum is just biding its time. Like a cat pretending to ignore you before it pounces on your face at 3 a.m. Yes, the long-term structure, they say, is as bullish as a bull in a china shop. Or a bull market. You get the idea.

So it happens that the guardians of stability, in their patient arithmetic, declare that USDT and Tether Gold now walk the corridors of Opera’s MiniPay wallet. The wallet, born of a system called Celo, is a self-sufficient little machine that pretends to forget nothing and to trust nothing but the user’s human hand. It sits within the Opera browser, a modest throne for coins to rest upon while the world spins with the rhythm of chance. One might smile at the audacity: a coin that never surrenders to panic, a wallet that needs merely a phone number to awaken, as if a man’s life could be simplified to a digit and a breath.
