Dogecoin, that beloved meme coin, has done what it does best-surge, skyrocket, and generally remind us that the crypto world is the Wild West, only with more memes. The latest price jump came right after Trump’s announcement that, if tariffs go as planned, Americans might get a nice little dividend check. The crypto world, in its infinite wisdom, immediately latched onto this, pushing Dogecoin’s price past the $0.18 resistance level like a teenager with a credit card at a Black Friday sale.

The timing, as always, is a delicate dance of political whims and regulatory red tape. Senate leaders, with all the urgency of a drowsy clockmaker, advanced a funding package to revive the government-a gesture that promises to return furloughed SEC staff to their desks and unfreeze the bureaucratic gears. Meanwhile, the DTCC’s roster gleams with hopeful applicants: Bitwise, Canary, CoinShares, 21Shares, Franklin-all poised like impatient suitors, their CUSIPs and symbols polished but their approvals still a mystery. The DTCC’s disclaimer, however, is a weary librarian reminding patrons that just because a book is on the shelf doesn’t mean it’s checked in. 📚

An audit of Move smart contracts? Ah, it is not a mere syntax check, but a grand examination of whether your on-chain logic, resource management, and module visibility behave safely under all conditions. This article, with the gravity of a royal decree, outlines what developers should expect from a professional audit, its phases, typical findings, and how to prepare effectively-though we doubt you’ll be effective. 😏

Solana had a weekend that would make even the most stoic blockchain blush. DEX volume blew past $5B, casually side-eyeing Ethereum and BNB like they’re last season’s trends. 🙃

The US Senate, in its grand parliamentary waltz, has advanced a fiscal measure to keep the government running until January 30, 2026, while bestowing a modicum of dignity upon federal employees who weathered the shutdown’s tempest. After 40 days of bureaucratic somnolence-where food aid faltered, air travel became a modernist nightmare, and public services wilted like overwatered orchids-senators and the White House have finally inked a truce, likely ending one of history’s more tedious political slumber parties.

The market, a vast sea of tokens, swelled back to $3.67 trillion, a number as imposing as the cliffs of Monterey. Bulls, those eternal optimists, danced on the shores of hope, while $260 million in short positions dissolved like sugar in hot coffee. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, once parched in the ‘Extreme Fear’ wasteland, sipped from the ‘Fear’ well-a timid step toward sanity. 😂

Speaking to CoinDesk with the breezy confidence of someone who hasn’t yet seen the market crash that inevitably follows such announcements, Pham declared she expects these new products to “begin trading in our markets before year’s end.” One can almost hear the distant sound of traders sharpening their speculative knives. 🔪

Lo and behold! XRP flexes its muscles, trading at $2.46-though still far from its July glory of $3.65, like a faded nobleman reminiscing about his lost estates. The token wobbles between $2.12 and $2.46, clinging to the upper range like a man clutching his last bottle of kvass.

However, nothing is final yet. The President cannot issue these payments by himself. Both the House and Senate must approve a bill. Until that happens, the dividend is only a proposal. Because nothing in politics is ever straightforward, right? 🤷‍♂️

Why, you ask? Well, buckle up, because it’s a tale of ETFs, Trump’s $2,000 dividend promises, and whales selling off XRP like it’s last season’s fashion. 🌊🐳 First, let’s address the elephant in the room: XRP’s recent gains are more dramatic than my mother’s reaction to my last haircut. According to Glassnode, long-term holders were dumping their tokens faster than I ditch a bad date. But then-plot twist!-Trump opens his mouth, and suddenly XRP jumps 7%, nearly hitting $2.50. Coincidence? I think not. 🤑🤡
