I’ve been totally hooked on ARC Raiders, and it’s easy to see why it’s been such a huge hit this year! I mean, the interactions with other players are always fun, and I’ve had some seriously hilarious moments while playing. When it first launched, over 481,000 people were playing on Steam at the same time – that’s incredible! Even now, almost two months later, it still pulls in around 300,000 players at peak times. So, I wasn’t surprised at all when it won Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards 2025 last week. The competition was tough, with games like Battlefield 6, Split Fiction, Peak, and even Elden Ring Nightreign all up for the award!

The new DLC for Pokemon Legends: Z-A adds three of the game’s five strongest Pokemon, with one even matching Mewtwo’s power. Players aiming for the ultimate team now have more powerful choices, though some of these Pokemon can be challenging to obtain.
Well, well, well, look who’s finally showing up to the tokenized finance party-JPMorgan Asset Management! They’ve launched their first on-chain money market fund, cleverly named the My Onchain Net Yield Fund (MONY). Yes, MONY. Because nothing says “we’re serious about finance” like a name that sounds like a Monopoly currency. 🤑 It’s live on the Ethereum blockchain, which is a big deal for a bank that probably still faxes documents. 📠

It’s impressive when games let you choose to be truly evil, especially when those choices have meaningful consequences and are as fleshed out as the heroic paths. If you’re willing to explore your darker side, check out these open-world games that offer plenty of opportunities for villainy.

In this grand design, those diverse yet parallel worlds of exchanges, the humble stewards of electronic wallets, and a plethora of other crypto service companies-all shall ascend from their lax moorings on anti-money-laundering registration, into the august continuum of regulation that girths banks and brokers as if they were but peas in a podld. 🚀
The data was shared on Dec. 16 by on-chain analytics platform Onchain Lens. According to the analysis, the address, often referred to as a “Bitcoin OG,” is currently facing an unrealized loss of about $54 million across large long positions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Because nothing says “I’m a legend” like losing half a billion. 💸
As quantum computing advances, the foundations of blockchain security are increasingly at risk, demanding a proactive shift towards quantum-resistant cryptography.

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest embarked on a bargain-hunting escapade on Monday, as some of the biggest listed names in the crypto circus, including Coinbase (COIN), Bullish (BLSH), and Circle (CRCL), continued their multi-day descent into the abyss.

This guide will show you where to find Toxel and how to evolve it into its different forms. If you’re aiming to complete the Pokedex in PLZA, you’ll need to catch both types of Toxtricity, so here’s everything you need to know.
