And then, in a truly thrilling turn of events, the stolen loot was rapidly shuffled through over six different exchanges—because, you know, that’s what every law-abiding citizen does with $330 million—and converted into Monero (XMR). Yes, Monero, the cryptocurrency that loves to play hide-and-seek. Talk about a disappearing act! 🕵️‍♂️✨

Over at the SBI VC Trade platform, XRP is eating Ethereum’s dust in the trading volume race. XRP/JPY outshone ETH/JPY. Let that sink in. Ethereum was once the cool kid in the crypto playground, but now? Not so much. Solana and Dogecoin barely made it into the fourth and fifth spots. The Japanese seem to have picked their crypto hero, and Ethereum is left behind in the dust. It’s like the sequel to a movie where everyone’s favorite character gets written out. Oops.

Apparently, the whole market is jogging along a bit better, so now the usual suspects—those XRP traders and stubborn long-timers who’ve been holding since the dawn of time—are *mostly* not freaking out and dumping their coins. Imagine that.

Enter the onchain detective, ZachXBT—because apparently, we need Sherlock Holmes for crypto now—who claims some genius swapped a buttload of bitcoin into XMR. According to him (and who else are we gonna believe?), this swap is what shoved Monero’s price up like it was on Red Bull.

Of course, there’s a catch. It’s not just about Hoskinson’s vision of grandeur—it’s about the community too. According to him, the willing support and relentless contributions from the Cardano faithful are key to unlocking these astronomical prices. So, all you loyal Ada holders, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and make this dream a reality—or at least buy a few more tokens. 🤑

For those who dare peer ahead beyond the creeping fog of volatility, these headlines offer not prophecy but cunning—an opportunity to wager wisely on the cryptic tides.

CSPR, the elusive sprite of the Casper Network, danced up to an intraday peak of $0.023 on April 28 — its highest leap since the frostbitten days of last December 9. From the abyss of this year’s lows, it has now soared over 180%, as if fueled by the suspicious breath of some otherworldly force. The market capitalization rose to a whimsical $215 million, while the daily trading volume set off fireworks with an absurd 2,500% jump from the day before, frolicking near $115 million.

Vitalik Buterin’s Layer-Zero Update (Because Drama Needs a Tech Fix)

Among the distinguished speakers was none other than the prodigal son of the Trump dynasty himself, Donald Trump Jr. Yes, he graced the audience with his presence, bringing with him all the flair and gravitas that one would expect from the Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization. The crowd was, of course, delighted. But the true star of the evening was Antoni Trenchev, Nexo’s co-founder, who took to the podium with a statement so bold, so brimming with optimism, it could have been plucked straight out of a motivational poster: “America is back — and so is Nexo.” (Take a moment, breathe in that innovation.) And, naturally, he attributed this great return to the wisdom of one President Donald J. Trump. After all, what’s a little digital wealth without a little political nostalgia?)

ProShares, that old hand in the Bitcoin ETF theatre, is rolling out the red carpet for not one, but three distinct XRP products. There’s the Ultra XRP ETF for those who fancy a 2x jolly good gamble on XRP’s valuation, the Short XRP ETF for the gleeful contrarian betting against the token, and the Ultra Short XRP ETF for those who prefer their financial mischief with double the bite. All these delectable delights will track the XRP price through the much-ballyhooed XRP Index, which sounds impressively official — as if it had the proper imprimatur of something more than a glorified calculator.
