U.S. President Donald Trump, in a move that can only be described as “Trump being Trump,” decided to slap our friendly neighbors to the north with a 35% tax on all Canadian goods entering the U.S. The stock market, predictably, took a nosedive on Friday morning, with the S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow all down by varying degrees. Meanwhile, bitcoin ( BTC) soared to new heights, reaching a peak of $118,856.47 before settling down to a more modest $117K later in the day.

According to a gripping exposé from the Washington Times, Coinbase has filed a lawsuit accusing Governor Tina Kotek and Attorney General Dan Rayfield of pulling a fast one with their last-minute legal gymnastics. They’re demanding a peek behind the curtain to figure out what’s really going on, claiming this all unfolded faster than a magician’s disappearing act—no public hearings, no rulemaking, just a whole lot of “Oops, we changed our minds!”

So, what’s driving this rollercoaster? Well, HIVE just hit the jackpot, boasting over 12 exahashes per second (yes, I said exahashes, not to be confused with your ex who ghosted you). That’s doubled output since January! 📈 They’re raking in over $250 million annually and are eyeing that dreamy $400 million once they scale up to 18 EH/s. It’s like being at a buffet and realizing you can fit in just one… more… plate.

It starts with a friendly message on social media or a dating app, and before you know it, the scammers are buildin’ trust and seemin’ as charmin’ as a snake oil salesman. They’ll share their “investment tips” and promise you the moon, but all they’re really after is your wallet. 💸

In a delightful Friday post on X (formerly known as Twitter, but let’s not go into that), the Ethereum Foundation announced that it had sold a whopping 10,000 Ether (ETH) through an over-the-counter deal for an average price of $2,572.37. As they say, hindsight is 20/20, and Ether promptly decided to flaunt a 16% increase, teasing everyone as it hung just below that enticing $3,000 mark. 🙄

Following Ripple’s announcement, LET Mining introduced a cloud mining feature tailored for XRP holders, enabling users to engage with the network and potentially earn passive rewards alongside their existing assets. 💰

A tweet, published by the SHIB-affiliated X account “Shibarium/BONE Updates” (@Shibizens), has set the SHIB army abuzz with excitement. The message, simple yet ominous, reads:

Now, I’ve heard a lot of talk about making self-custody accessible to non-technical users, but this guy’s got a plan. Simplified transaction fees, seedless onboard, account recovery, and in-app security? Sounds like a recipe for a blockbuster hit! 🎬

As our tale unfolds, Dogecoin stands proud at $0.1998, boasting an 11% rise in mere hours, and a commendable 20% increase over the week—whatever that signifies in this ever-fluctuating world! The trading volume has surged by an impressive 37%, reaching a staggering $2.44 billion according to the wise sages at CoinMarketCap.
