So, what’s the deal with HexyDog (HEXY)? Sneaking past all the speculative meme coins, HEXY’s practically doing the crypto equivalent of bringing tea and scones to the investor’s meeting. $400k raised and counting: that’s enough kibble to keep every Labrador in London happy for approximately three hours. The project is all about building out real features—think fintech for furballs—while eyeing the pet industry, which, let’s face it, is somehow always expanding, probably due to the world’s endless appetite for tiny sweaters and Instagrammable dog birthdays.

With the Trump administration gently nudging the crypto door open, and banks suddenly warming up to digital assets like your mum trying oat milk for the first time, it seems everyone’s ready for a financial glow-up. Enter Solana Policy Institute, Superstate, and our friend Orca, strutting out Project Open with the sort of swagger not seen since someone suggested putting pineapple on pizza. Their plan? Jolt equities onto the blockchain for instant settlements, snoop-proof transparency (so nosey, yet so necessary), and much-needed cuts to market costs.

On May 1st, at Token2049 (the Oscars of crypto, minus the free booze and seat fillers), Justin Sun—Tron (TRX) founder, serial disruptor, and owner of the world’s largest collection of red track suits—announced a juicy partnership with World Liberty Financial (yes, the Trump-backed one). USD1 stablecoin will now prance its way across the Tron blockchain.

Our gallant BTC hath capered nearly 20% from the gloomy dungeons of April (where it sulked at $79,000), cheered onward by $381 million in ETF coinage pouring in—enough to make Scrooge McDuck envious!—and the grand pronouncements of President Trump, whose recent pirouette on China trade makes even the finest court jesters blush. 🤡

In an unexpected move, Altman’s Tools for Humanity has thrust its iris-scanning crypto initiative, now dubbed “World,” into the U.S. spotlight. Gone are the days of bureaucratic red tape under President Biden’s regime, and now, cities like Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco are officially “orbified”—welcome to the world of biometric finance. All you need is to show your eyeball, and voilà, you get some WLD tokens. A small price to pay for human existence, right?

The SDDF, a group that pretends to care about all things nonpartisan (but doesn’t really fool anyone), points to two big sources for Trump’s crypto treasure chest: the TRUMP meme coin (oh yes, you read that right) and a slightly shady project called World Liberty Financial (WLFI), home to a governance token and the stablecoin USD1. The project’s name alone sounds like something out of a low-budget spy movie.

While the price does its best tightrope act, global fears (trade spats! grumpy economists! wobbly macro mumbo-jumbo!) swirl like Boggarts in the background, giving everyone the financial heebie-jeebies. Most investors are acting like nervous squirrels with nuts—waiting, sniffing, hoping someone else will dart across the $100K threshold first. Still, sniff! Is that confidence in the air? Or just overpriced optimism?

At the Token2049 event in dazzling Dubai (where else, darling?), Trump revealed that USD1 will waltz its way into the Tron ecosystem. And, guess who’s giving it a little push? The ever-opulent Justin Sun—because, of course, billionaires make the best partners. Why settle for less, right?

First on the roster for this wild ride are none other than Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Chile! Yes, those six nations are the *lucky* ones to experience the wonder of stablecoins, as purchases will be drawn directly from your stablecoin reserves. 🪙 Of course, Bridge handles the *techy stuff* like backend infrastructure and fiat conversions. Meanwhile, merchants? They’ll get their payment in the ever-popular local currency. How charming!
