But the Fear and Greed Index is sitting at a sleepy 52. Altcoins? Still getting ignored at 28 on the season index. So what’s driving the action today? Let’s break down the stories that matter:
- Vitalik Buterin wants to cap individual transactions at 16.77 million gas, which could fundamentally change how the network operates. What makes this different from Ethereum’s previous upgrades?
- TON is offering 10-year UAE residency for $100,000 in staked Toncoin instead of the usual $540,000 real estate investment. How fast can you get UAE residency with TON?
- Eight wallets containing Bitcoin untouched since 2011 each transferred exactly 10,000 BTC to new addresses. Are these wallet upgrades signaling a massive Bitcoin sell-off?
- LetsBONK processed 15,600 token launches versus Pump.fun’s 11,500 in 24 hours, marking the first time Pump.fun lost its Solana leadership position. How did BONK react to LetsBONK’s Pump.fun victory?
- Bill Miller IV argues governments shouldn’t tax Bitcoin because they provide no services to maintain the network. Could Bitcoin’s tax confusion be killing institutional adoption?
