Crypto market cap is down by 2.53%, reaching $2.54 trillion with the volume rising close to $150 billion, hinting at excessive market participation. The markets are falling due to a combination of profit-taking and pre-FOMC meeting anxiety, causing a technical resistance rejection. Besides, deteriorating sentiment, ETF outflows, and increased selling volume are driving this downward movement, leading to over $281 million in long liquidations.
However, recent Pokémon card sets can be quite expensive, especially those from the Scarlet & Violet (March 2023-July 2025) and Mega Evolution (September 2025-Present) collections. While still accessible, these sets don’t reach the extreme prices of older ones like Evolving Skies (August 2021), which now sells for over $2,500 per Booster Box. To determine the cost of each set, we’ll be looking at the current market price of a Booster Box (containing 36 packs), or a Booster Bundle (6 packs) if a Booster Box isn’t available.
It’s becoming more popular for funerals to reflect a person’s passions, like their favorite video games, TV shows, or movies. Now, a funeral home in Brazil is getting a lot of attention for making coffins decorated with famous characters.
A team of researchers at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China spent 30 weeks studying League of Legends and Legends of the Three Kingdoms to see how the two games compare.
This isn’t just a bureaucratic formality-it’s a full-on regulatory tango. If you’ve ever tried to get a permit for a treehouse, you’ll know the CFTC isn’t exactly known for handing out blank checks. But Polymarket’s been busy: since 2025, they’ve acquired QCEX for $112 million, gotten a few CFTC nods, and now they’re asking if they can ditch intermediaries and let Americans trade directly. Because nothing says “mainstream finance” like a platform that settles in USDC and runs on Polygon. Or maybe that’s just crypto’s version of a trust fall.
Co-op games have been around almost as long as video games themselves, but they’re currently experiencing a surge in popularity. We’ve already seen several excellent co-op releases this year, and many more promising titles are scheduled to come out in 2026, suggesting this trend will continue.
In a tone reminiscent of a jaded theater critic, Hoskinson dissected Ripple’s business model: sell XRP, amass billions, then squirrel the proceeds into hard assets tucked safely beyond the reach of token holders. “A masterclass in corporate elegance,” he might have added, had he been inclined toward irony. Alas, the XRP faithful are left to ponder their digital crumbs while Ripple’s coffers swell.
One of the great things about the show From is how quickly new seasons come out. Since its debut in 2022, it’s already released four seasons. In a television landscape where shows often take years between installments, From‘s rapid release schedule is unusual and appreciated. Considering its intriguing story and devoted fanbase, the excitement surrounding the show is understandable.
Valve has confirmed that Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is playable on the Steam Deck, but it’s not officially ‘Verified.’ While the game runs well with default graphics settings, it lacks full controller support and doesn’t display proper controller icons. Text is also quite small and can’t be scaled, and you’ll need to manually bring up the keyboard for things like saving or typing names. After testing the game for about twelve hours on both Steam Decks and the ROG Ally, Valve’s assessment seems correct.
