Ethereum Layer-2 Fees? Linea Says “Not Today, Zuckergas!” 🤯

According to Linea’s May 7th X post (on Twitter for anyone over 40), you can now whizz your assets from Ethereum mainnet to Linea and forget about L2 gas—if, and only if, you behave. By “behave,” they mean use their native bridge, avoid big transactions, and absolutely do not try to sneak in any Circle CCTP USDC. This “offer” is, according to Linea, an attempt “to reduce friction for new users.” Nothing says “frictionless onboarding” like a list of exclusions longer than my family’s holiday invite list.

Crypto Loses Its Mind After Trump Hints At “Major” Trade Deal (Again!)

As CryptoPotato eloquently points out (without a single potato joke, sadly), Bitcoin is apparently eyeing up that $100,000 resistance level the way I eye a sale on artisanal cheese—full of hope, terror, and confusion. But if you look at the rainbow-colored heatmap below, you’ll see—yes, it’s green!

You Won’t Believe What Bitcoin Did Next — Absurd Numbers, Market Mayhem & Champagne Wishes

This mighty leap has propelled Bitcoin’s market cap to a stonking $1.96 trillion, give or take the odd shilling. Meanwhile, its fully diluted valuation (which, one suspects, means all the gin poured in) is tipping the scales at $2.07 trillion. And with 19.86 million BTC now circulating—goodness, nearly all out of a crisp 21 million—the air of scarcity is thicker than the fog over the Thames on Boat Race Day. Supply-and-demand, old bean, always the trick to sending values into the stratosphere 🚀.

Bitcoin Soars Past Ghostly Trendlines—Is $106K the Final Stop or Just the Intermission? 🤔🚀

MakroVision, in the role of village soothsayer, bristled with the news: from the dark valley at $75,000, Bitcoin’s journey became a winter tale of improbable rebound, described as “impressive”—if, perhaps, written by the same hand that finds nobility in lost causes and heroism in mere survival. The descending trendline, once a bureaucratic gatekeeper of price, now lay shattered—its reign ended not with a bang but with the quiet resignation of an office worker clocking out early on a Friday.

Wall Street Goes Full Crypto: Citi & SDX Want to Tokenize Your Future Portfolio—Here’s How

Somewhere in Zurich (chocolate, watches, possibly snow), Citi stood on stage at the Point Zero Forum and basically told the world they’re teaming up with the ultra-regulated, dazzlingly Swiss SDX to create a brand-new platform. The plan? Drag private market investing out of the analog dark ages and into the glorious, complicated world of blockchain tokenization. Could there be more acronyms involved? Only if they tried harder.
