This so-called masterpiece, “Chainlink Rewards”, lets any doughty souls tethered to the network bestow luscious tokens upon those swashbucklers, known in local parlance as node operators and community members, who bother to ensure the chain does not unlink. If you have ever juggled bits and staked LINK, you may yet find yourself sprinkled with Space and Time’s SXT tokens, as if Satoshi himself descended, showering baubles on the just and unjust alike. Not even your eccentric uncle, who only ever bought Dogecoin by accident, is excluded—provided he participates fervently enough.

The idea? Well, it’s simple, really. Test how this digital euro thing could work in real-world transactions and, of course, dream up some snazzy new services around it. Oh, and they’ve split the participants into two groups: the Pioneers and the Visionaries. The naming alone deserves an award, don’t you think?

In the meantime, there’s this little thing called the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting happening May 6-7. As if the crypto market wasn’t volatile enough, now everyone is waiting with bated breath (probably just holding their breath until they pass out) to see how the Federal Reserve plans to shake up interest rates. Spoiler alert: it’s probably going to influence crypto prices, but no one’s sure exactly how. 💸

Bonk (BONK), that delightful dog-themed cryptocurrency on Solana (SOL), is the shining star of today’s crypto circus. Up by 4.4% in just 24 hours, Bonk (BONK) has targeted the magical $0.000017 mark, and it’s doing so on the back of rocketing trading volume—yes, volume so high it might make your head spin. According to CoinGecko, things are looking up for our little meme friend.

This enormous chunk of change is going straight into the hands of two organizations that are making a difference in education: DonorsChoose and Teach For America. Because who doesn’t love a little charity to make teachers’ lives a tad less stressful? These organizations are all about making sure teachers and students have the resources they need to thrive. 💪📚

Now, before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s take a quick tour of what’s on the agenda for today:

CZ didn’t just regale the locals with yak-laden anecdotes or pose solemnly for photos. No, he tossed a proposal into the winds: “Why not BTC and BNB for Kyrgyzstan’s National Crypto Reserve?” he said, as casually as if suggesting new flavors for kumis. Perhaps next, he could recommend Dogecoin for their national anthem. 🐕

Those who have grown up under the heavy shadow of war and marriage in Tula province will recognize this pattern: a “rare phenomenon,” appearing with the regularity of a visit from a seldom-seen cousin who brings only trouble and dry bread. XRP’s price, supported by what analysts refer to as “solid support,” teeters on the edge, as if weighed between Anna Karenina’s fateful railway tracks and the fleeting happiness in Levin’s fields.

It was the second day of May, an ordinary Sunday, when VanEck—perennially restless investor of investors—slipped a filing, like an anonymous suitor slipping a note into a debutante’s glove, before the ever-watchful U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Their plan? A fund whose only ambition is to mirror BNB price swings. Romantic, yes, but also subject to a ticker symbol that for now remains as secret as a Russian family recipe.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single asset manager in possession of vast capital, must be in want of a little more Bitcoin 💸. And so it is with BlackRock, whose recent disclosures—far from demure—have rather set tongues wagging and investors fanning themselves in disbelief.
