In the never-ending soap opera of banks vs. crypto, Christopher Giancarlo-aka the man who thinks blockchain is the answer to everything except maybe world hunger-has a proposal. Why not let banks offer yield on stablecoin deposits? It’s like a financial group hug, where everyone wins and no one has to admit they were wrong. Except maybe the banks, who are still trying to figure out if “stablecoin” is a type of cryptocurrency or a new brand of probiotic yogurt.

On the daily SHIB/USDT chart, the coin hovers near $0.00000626, while the 20-day simple moving average, that ever-fickle compass, looms at $0.00000635. A triumphant close above this line would rekindle its presence in the upper echelons of the bands-a realm it vacated this week after a 3.23% exodus into the abyss.

The price, having gracefully pushed away from its humble abode at the macro support level of $0.83, has reclaimed its short-term structure with all the pomp of a returning hero. It is as if the vertical recovery has taken a sturdy axe to the prior cascading decline, chopping it down before our very eyes!

Crypto firms, trade groups, and bank associations all had seats at the table. This time, though, the White House took the wheel. The conversation stayed focused and moved in a clear direction. Shocking, I know. Who knew adults in the room actually worked?

In this year of our Lord 2026, the proletariat no longer bows to the idols of brand recognition or asset availability. Nay, they demand to know how much of their hard-earned kopecks survive the transaction. And so, with the stern resolve of a man who has endured the labor camps of high fees, I present to you the top 12 currency exchange services that offer the lowest fees in this digital wilderness.

Bitcoin’s had a little 2% bounce, like a toddler after nap time, clawing its way back to $68K. Meanwhile, the Fear and Greed Index is still stuck on “extreme fear” because apparently, crypto investors love a good panic attack. Been there for 20 days straight. Must be a record.

Darkfost, a cryptic sage on X, shared a chart that looks like a sad little parade of altcoins. His headline? “LIQUIDITY CRUNCH PUSHES 83% OF ALTCOINS INTO BEAR TREND,” which is basically a warning label for investors who forgot to pack their risk-free snacks. He warns that those holding non-Bitcoin, non-stablecoin assets are now in a pickle so deep, even a llama would struggle to climb out.

Prices ticked up overnight, with Bitcoin gaining 2%, Solana (SOL) doing its best influencer impression with 2.7%, and Ethereum (ETH) adding 1.2%. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Here’s where the tale thickens, like gravy that forgot it’s supposed to be thin. Santiment, that nosy gnome of social data, notes that the hype around BTC and ETH is thinning like old cheese, while XRP has climbed to a five-week high in bullish mood. Buyers seem to be creeping in on dips, buoyed by a healthy dollop of bullish chat, suggesting the XRP price chart is entering a rebuilding arc rather than a nosedive.

In a move that could only be described as “not today, state regulators,” Judge Trauger declared it likely that Kalshi will win its case that their sports-related event contracts are indeed the darlings of federal derivatives law. So, for now, the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council has to sit back and sip their coffee while the broader lawsuit goes on.
