Let’s start with HT—the native token of the mighty Huobi Global exchange, once born in China but now soaring around the world like a true digital phoenix. In a market that’s as lively as a stone, HT managed to rise 23% in the last week, because why not? Who doesn’t love a good underdog story? 🙄
On Wednesday, Bitcoin (our protagonist, sometimes tragic, always dramatic) surpasses $112,000 for the first time, not so much walking as leaping across the line, up nearly 6% for the week. One wonders if Bitcoin considers humility a vice or merely a bad investment.
Despite the loss, van de Poppe says his portfolio spans both safer, lower-volatility assets and higher-risk plays. Among the more stable positions, he highlighted Celestia (TIA), Optimism (OP), Sei (SEI), and Bittensor (TAO) as core components. These coins, tied closely to the broader Ethereum and modular blockchain ecosystems, form the foundation of his long-term outlook. 🌟
Meet Michael Shannon Sims, 48, and Juan Carlos Reynoso, 57: the dynamic duo with ambitions as large as their hats, charged with sewing seeds of crypto confusion the world over since 2019. Thousands of wallets went suspiciously lighter. Coincidence? Said nobody ever.

The short-term chart for $XRP is showing a breakout from the descending trendline that’s been haunting us since mid-January of 2025. Not only that, but the price has also just smashed through the $2.35 resistance level, turning it into a cozy support zone. The next target for the bulls? The last local high at $2.66. But beware, the Stochastic RSIs are signaling an overbought condition, so there might be a rejection at this level. 🚨
You might have seen on X, or what city folks used to call Twitter, Solana hollerin’ about Bullish moving the family valuables and the entire $1.4 trillion herd to their blockchain ranch. For those keeping track, that’s a heap of digital cows to brand. Everything—custody, settling up, tossing chits across saloons—now gets handled by Solana’s young but mighty stablecoins.

Not with noise—Lord knows there’s enough of that in crypto—but with a little sense and a little laughter, and maybe the suspicion that this whole digital world ought to be less intimidating than tax season. Instead of demanding keys and prayers and blood sacrifices up front, they borrowed a lesson from those who know addiction best: free gaming.
