This audacious endeavor, a doubling down on digital ventures, comes as the firm seeks to expand its blockchain-based products-though one might question whether these are products or merely elaborate Rube Goldberg machines for moving bits around.
Their portfolio is a masterclass in crypto chaos: $1.292 billion in short positions (because who wants to bet on the market?) versus $857 million in longs. But here’s the kicker-when it comes to XRP, they’re all in. Longs hit $15.31 million, shorts only $13.4 million. Maybe they just enjoy the thrill of watching XRP flirt with doom while betting on its survival.
Well, on Wednesday, Pi Network casually dropped the news that they’ve added a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) server to their Testnet-a testing version of their blockchain. Yes, because the blockchain was just too quiet without it.
In September 2025, Nintendo received a patent for a system that allows characters to be called into battle. Some viewed this as a way to protect Nintendo’s intellectual property while they were involved in a legal dispute with the game Palworld. Although the patent detailed a process very similar to Pokemon gameplay, legal experts were initially surprised it was approved, suggesting it could have wider consequences for the gaming industry. At the time, it seemed like a significant win for Nintendo, but the situation has changed considerably in the past year.

Just days ago, SIREN was strutting around like the crypto equivalent of a celebrity influencer, hitting an all-time high of $3.60 and slapping its market cap up to $2 billion. It flipped Pi Network’s PI with the enthusiasm of a toddler toppling a Jenga tower. Alas, such glory is rarely sustainable, like a balloon filled with helium and hope. Now, it’s 85% less SIREN and 100% more sigh.
But before anyone starts calling it a breakout, there’s a catch. There’s always a catch. The universe is a master of dramatic irony. It’s like a book club where everyone’s agreed the ending’s going to be tragic, and now we’re just waiting for the author to throw in a red herring shaped like a bear trap.

Housemarque revealed its latest game during a February 2025 State of Play event with a captivating trailer. The game follows Soltari enforcer Arjun Devraj, portrayed by Rahul Kohli, as he relentlessly seeks the truth behind the mysterious and dangerous world of Carcosa. While the trailer might remind players of Housemarque’s Returnal, this is a brand new story with key differences. Saros remains a third-person shooter with roguelike features, but it adds permanent upgrades, gear, and progression, making it less punishing when you die.
