Well, well, well. The crypto market’s midweek surprise is an unexpected shade of green-XRP is jumping a solid 3.83% today. Big moves, folks. This marks its most dramatic rise of the week, breaking above the infamous Bollinger Band’s midpoint. Who knew Bollinger could be so… thrilling?
In a move that surprised absolutely no one, Trump singled out the GENIUS Act-the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act-as the latest victim of banking industry shenanigans. Signed on July 18, 2025, this law was supposed to be the crypto world’s golden ticket, but apparently, banks didn’t get the memo.

On the flip side, Pippin seems to be going through a midlife crisis. While River is showing the world who’s boss, Pippin’s just trying to hold on for dear life, not looking too stable at the moment.
