😳 Someone just found one of the earliest Bitcoin order archives — BTC was selling for only $0.003 back then! Check out the third entry: they canceled their order to buy 2,000 BTC for just $6. Today, that would be worth about $191 million. Crazy to think about how far we’ve come! 🚀 #Bitcoin #CryptoHistory #BTC

World Liberty Financial has announced the USD1 stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and backed by US Treasury bills and cash equivalents. It will launch on Ethereum and BSC, with BitGO as the crypto custodian.
The platform offers stablecoin trading, lending, and liquidity pools, with governance via the WLFI token. Donald Trump is listed as the project's "human rights advocate," his sons as "Web3 ambassadors," and Barron as a "DeFi visionary."
USD-backed stablecoins like USDT and USDC generate revenue through interest on reserves. Trump has supported this market since January.

Tether to Launch USDT on Bitcoin and Lightning Network
Tether is integrating USDT into Bitcoin and Lightning Network via Taproot Assets, enabling low fees and seamless compatibility without bridges. Previously issued on OMNI, USDT support was discontinued in 2023. Now, the stablecoin is expanding, launching on Celo, TON, and Aptos, with most volumes currently on Ethereum and Tron.
Spot funds focused on the first cryptocurrency and Ethereum saw inflows of $1.08 billion over four days.
Of this, $887.15 million went into Bitcoin funds, marking the third consecutive week of growth. The Ethereum-ETF sector showed positive dynamics for the first time this year, attracting $188.1 million.

❗️TRON surged 16% today, reaching its all-time high (ATH). Interestingly, TRON's blockchain growth was initially driven by the massive transaction fees on Ethereum, which at one point ranged from hundreds to even thousands of dollars per transaction. The funny part, however, is that the cost of transferring USDT on TRON has increased hundreds of times over the years, gradually catching up to (and sometimes exceeding) Ethereum, with fees reaching up to $8 per transfer.
