The Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) has handed out no objection certificates like confetti at a party, letting Binance and HTX set up shop. 🎉 AML policies? Oh, they’re just a fancy way of saying “don’t steal too much.”
Capital A Berhad, the folks who make AirAsia soar (or crash, depending on the day), and Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia have teamed up to launch a ringgit-backed stablecoin. Under Bank Negara Malaysia’s watchful eye, they’re turning fiat into pixels with the flair of a circus act. 🎪
But fear not, investors! Tether promises “liquidity” through share buybacks and tokenized equity-because nothing says stability like turning corporate shares into a blockchain slot machine. 🎰🔗 Imagine: a buyout orchestrated by robots, all while the CEO giggles into a spreadsheet. 📊😈
However, new reports reveal quietly growing positive signals. These signals form the basis for analysts to predict that the price may soon break above $100.
Picture this: Ripple’s main wallet, “Ripple (50)” (sounds like a Bond villain’s offshore account), lobbed 75 million XRP to a smaller wallet, which then tossed it to Binance’s “rpxh7h” wallet.

This magical token, which they call wXRP, allows the XRP holders to do all the things one does with a wrapped token: lend it for yield, dabble in liquidity pools, and generally play the DeFi game with the finesse of a man who’s read the rulebook and then lost it. One might even purchase tokenized assets, though we daresay the most valuable tokenized asset is the collective patience of one’s fellow investors.
May Zabaneh, the crypto queen of PayPal, declared the feature live, but only for those lucky souls in the U.S. “The beauty of what we’ve built is that YouTube doesn’t have to touch crypto,” she said, as if that weren’t the most confusing part. 🐐 The firm integrated PYUSD earlier this year, and YouTube, ever the cautious giant, finally opened the door for creators to dance with digital dollars. 🕺
Bitcoin still holds a “dominant” market share of around 57% (could people just own a normal asset?), but this dizzying ride has left newbies scratching their heads, wondering if they should’ve exchanged their crash course for a teacup ride sanity manual. Last week’s drop again to these levels and today’s spike are like watching a serial drama that should’ve been canceled for lack of original plot.
