For a brief period on Friday, a glitch caused some Revolut users to see Bitcoin priced at just a few cents – around $0.02, according to screenshots they shared. This was a significant error, as the actual market price of Bitcoin was close to $79,000 at the time.
According to Politico, these three gentlemen-Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini-have submitted a flurry of redlines to the Senate, suggesting that the current standard might inadvertently bar small, low-liquidity tokens from regulated U.S. exchanges. One must commend their chivalrous concern for innovation, though one suspects their true motive is to avoid handing the CFTC a metaphorical bludgeon to wield over future listings. Imagine, if you will, a future CFTC chair, armed with nothing but a clipboard and a stern expression, gatekeeping the digital frontier like a bouncer at a speakeasy.
Ujah, a thirty‑two‑year‑old whose jolt of turbocharged legs once made him the darling of British athletics, now finds himself in a situation as tangled as a tweed card game gone awry. He has been charged with conspiracy to defraud, following a series of raids by the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit that wove through Kent, Essex, and London.

Well, I say, BTC has finally taken a bit of a breather. After its recent dash upwards, it’s produced a bearish engulfing candle-rather like a chap who’s overindulged at the club dinner-and retreated towards Monday’s close, settling near $80K. Not exactly the stuff of heroic tales, what?
Our intrepid analyst, the divine EllaWeb3, has observed with her usual acuity that XRP’s momentum has gone the way of a forgotten cocktail party-utterly deflated. Despite Ripple’s darling little institutional dalliances with the likes of JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo (how chic!), the market seems more interested in its technical tantrums than in these bullish bon mots. Really, one must ask: is no one paying attention to the décor?
narrow range, modest downside bias
Will this be the spark that ignites Bitcoin’s next crescendo? Or merely a fleeting whisper in the grand symphony of financial folly?
The CoinDesk 20 is currently trading at 2142.44, up 0.1% (+2.73) since 4 p.m. ET on Thursday.
At press time, ADA lounged at $0.264, smug as a cat on a sunbeam. It’s clawed its way back to late April’s glory days after months of being stuck in a crypto rut-drearier than a rainy picnic.
The retreat below the sacred $80,000 threshold-a psychological mirage-revealed Bitcoin’s inability to hold this level across three attempts in four months. One might think the market were a Victorian maiden, coyly rejecting suitors despite their increasingly absurd proposals.
