From a macroeconomic perspective, the 40% crash of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token, linked to the Trump family, represents a classic case study on the dangers of speculating in assets with political backing, where initial enthusiasm quickly faces market realities.
The mirage of political backing and inherent volatility
WLFI landed in the market with a powerful narrative: a token indirectly backed by an influential political figure. However, the price fell more than 40% in just days, even after the burning of 47 million tokens aimed at reducing supply and increasing perceived value. This maneuver, commonly used to limit supply and mitigate downward pressure, failed to contain the drop. Here we see how volatility and negative externalities, such as lack of real use or adoption, can nullify any attempt at artificial stabilization.

In July 2023, a court ruling dealt a blow to the so-called 'security status' of $XRP . What was not immediately apparent was how the XRP Army, an organized and active community, was decisive for that turn, claims John Deaton, a lawyer who represented holders with an influential amicus brief.
A Legal Defense Forged in Community Engagement
Out of the more than 2,000 pieces of evidence presented, the judge only cited a few—including testimonies from holders and Deaton's amicus brief—showing how much collective pressure mattered. 'One person can inspire many, and together they achieve real change,' Deaton emphasized. This activism was not symbolic: it directly influenced legal arguments and curtailed excessive regulatory attempts.

Imagine having shares of Apple or an S&P 500 ETF stored directly in your cryptocurrency wallet, alongside your Bitcoin and Ethereum. This is not a science fiction scene, but the new reality that Trust Wallet, owned by Binance, has just made accessible to users worldwide. The integration of real-world assets (RWAs) into self-custody wallets promises to democratize access to traditional financial markets, but behind this innovation lie regulatory complexities, geographical limitations, and fundamental questions about the true ownership of these digital assets.

Cuando creíamos que el discurso político no podía trivializarse más, llega la "guerra de las memecoins". El gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, planea lanzar una criptomoneda llamada ‘Trump Corruption’ para, según él, competir con los tokens asociados al presidente. Este acto, disfrazado de sátira política, nos arrastra a un terreno donde la especulación financiera más descarnada se encuentra con la polarización partidista, y los resultados rara vez son buenos para el ciudadano promedio.
La Ilusión del Valor: Desmontando la Economía de las "PolitiFi"
Primero, hay que entender qué son estas "memecoins políticas". No son acciones de una empresa, no son bonos que pagan intereses, ni siquiera son materias primas con utilidad industrial. Su valor no reside en ningún fundamento económico. Son, en esencia, activos puramente especulativos cuyo precio depende enteramente de la atención, el sentimiento del público y la capacidad de los primeros compradores para vender antes de que el interés se desvanezca.
El cofundador de Solana, Anatoly Yakovenko, sugirió a Newsom un "lanzamiento justo" para su token. La idea de un lanzamiento justo suena equitativa, pero no altera la naturaleza fundamental del activo. Incluso si todos parten de la misma línea, la carrera sigue siendo hacia una salida antes del colapso inevitable. La historia de las memecoins es una crónica de auges y caídas vertiginosas, donde una minoría obtiene ganancias a expensas de una mayoría que llega tarde a la fiesta.
Riesgos económicos que no puedes ignorar:
Volatilidad Extrema: Su precio puede multiplicarse o desplomarse en cuestión de horas, convirtiendo la inversión en poco más que una apuesta.Ausencia de Valor Intrínseco: Sin un respaldo real o un caso de uso sostenible, su valor a largo plazo tiende a cero.Manipulación del Mercado: Las figuras públicas que las promueven tienen un poder desproporcionado para inflar el precio, creando el escenario perfecto para un esquema de "pump and dump".
Cuando la Regulación se Enfrenta al Conflicto de Intereses
La propuesta de Newsom es una respuesta directa a la creciente participación de la familia Trump en el ecosistema cripto, con proyectos como el token World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Este fenómeno introduce un nivel de conflicto de intereses profundamente preocupante. ¿Cómo puede un legislador regular de manera imparcial un mercado en el que tiene intereses financieros directos y altamente volátiles?
La politización de los criptoactivos amenaza con paralizar cualquier intento de regulación sensata. El debate deja de centrarse en la protección del consumidor o la estabilidad financiera y se convierte en una batalla partidista. Mientras los demócratas ven con recelo los lazos de Trump con las criptomonedas, y figuras como la congresista Maxine Waters proponen leyes para restringir su participación, la respuesta de Newsom es redoblar la apuesta y crear su propio token. En lugar de buscar una solución regulatoria, se opta por combatir el fuego con más fuego especulativo.
Una Sátira que Podría Costar Caro
Los defensores de esta iniciativa podrían argumentar que es una forma de "llamar la atención sobre lo absurdo" y de recaudar fondos para causas políticas. Pero al hacerlo, se legitima la idea de que los mercados financieros son un campo de juego para la expresión política, una idea peligrosa que socava la confianza tanto en la política como en la economía.
Al final del día, la "guerra de las memecoins" no es más que un espectáculo secundario que distrae de los problemas económicos reales. La pregunta fundamental que debemos hacernos no es qué político tiene el token más popular, sino ¿qué sociedad estamos construyendo cuando permitimos que nuestras instituciones democráticas se conviertan en el próximo gran casino?

The Binance Blockchain Week 2025 is approaching, an exciting event for all blockchain and cryptocurrency technology enthusiasts. To warm up and relive the fun of the previous edition, Binance has launched a challenge called Riddle Rush (or riddle marathon).

BBW Riddle Rush: Solve Riddles and Share 5,000 USDC in Rewards per Community Channel!
What is it about?
For 7 consecutive days, from September 1 to September 7, 2025, different communities within Binance will launch a daily riddle. Your mission will be to solve the seven riddles that are published in the community you choose.

Just when the price of $ETH hit $5,000 and everything seemed smiles, Ethereum funds suffered their largest daily bleed in weeks. On Thursday, August 29, investors massively withdrew their capital. But is this a warning sign or just a profit-taking in a mature market?
The Broken Promise: A River of Capital Outflow
Ethereum ETFs had experienced six glorious days of consecutive inflows, totaling nearly $1.9 billion in inflows. Confidence seemed unbreakable. However, the general market correction that brought ETH below $4,300 triggered an immediate sell-off. SoSo Value data does not lie: a net daily outflow of $164.64 million. Big players like Grayscale, Fidelity, and Bitwise led the outflows. BlackRock, on the other hand, remained neutral, with zero flow. It’s the classic "buy on the rumor and sell on the news," magnified.

After Gary Gensler's departure as the regulator's president, a window of opportunity opened. Today, more than 90 proposals seek approval in the U.S. And each application tells a story about where the market might be headed.
The Opportunity: An Explosion of Investor Access with New ETFs
After a change at the SEC, companies have rushed to submit applications. By April, there were already 72 applications, a number that has continued to grow. This is not limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum; it includes a wide range of altcoins $BNB , Solana ($SOL ), $XRP among others.

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is about to take a bold step: allowing US citizens to trade cryptocurrencies on offshore exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX. But what does this really mean for the cryptocurrency market and financial regulation?

The CFTC's measure is viewed as a crucial step in the CFTC's campaign to improve the regulatory status of cryptocurrencies.
A Step Towards Global Liquidity
The CFTC's decision seeks to improve the global liquidity of cryptocurrencies, allowing US traders to access broader markets. Caroline Pham, the only remaining Commissioner after Kristin Johnson's resignation, is taking unilateral steps to reform crypto regulations. This could strengthen US cryptocurrency markets and open new trading opportunities.

Can a strategy linked to political figures change the course of a cryptocurrency? The price of $CRO, the native token of the Cronos network backed by Crypto.com, rose 40% following the news of the launch of the joint strategy Trump Media Group CRO, reaching levels not seen since May 2022.
Context of the push for $CRO
The announcement included the creation of a $6.4 billion treasury jointly managed by Trump Media, Crypto.com, and Yorkville Acquisition. Within hours, $CRO rose from $0.16 to over $0.23, capitalizing on a 44% increase in its valuation, positioning itself at a $7.8 billion market cap.

Mark Newton's precise prediction, technical strategist at Fundstrat, drove institutional purchases of Ethereum following Tuesday's crypto market drop. Newton anticipated that ETH would bottom out around $4,300 before recovering to $5,100, a projection that coincided with BitMine Immersion Technologies' acquisition of $21.3 million in ETH. The company now holds 1.72 million ETH, equivalent to 1.42% of the total supply, consolidating its position as the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.

The president has just done what even Nixon did not dare to do: fire a Federal Reserve governor because, according to him, she lied on a mortgage application in 2021. The real charge is different: Cook did not want to cut rates at the speed he demands to revive his stock market record before 2026.
With this move, Trump adds a fourth seat of his own on the seven-member Board; Powell knows that his term expires in May and that they are already looking for his replacement.

The Monero community ($XMR) faces a new debate on how to protect its network from possible 51% attacks, a scenario in which an actor controls the majority of the computing power and can reorganize blocks or censor transactions. The discussion arises after the initiative by Qubic, which claimed to have secured a significant portion of Monero's hashrate.

Among the proposals analyzed are: locating mining equipment, adopting merged mining (allowing Monero to be mined alongside other cryptocurrencies), and applying ChainLocks, a mechanism already used in Dash that uses randomly selected masternodes to lock the ledger and prevent reorganizations, even if someone concentrates greater computing power.

No whitepaper or formal campaign was needed. The surname Ronaldo was enough for, within hours, a rumor disguised as an official news about a supposed memecoin called 'CR7' to circulate.
The result: a market capitalization that reached 143 million dollars, sustained solely by the expectation and naivety of those who assumed that sports fame could automatically translate into financial value.

The city of Buenos Aires is moving towards becoming a regional center for cryptocurrencies, allowing its citizens to pay taxes and other municipal charges with digital assets. This step aims to modernize the payment system and facilitate financial inclusion in a context where more than 10,000 residents already receive income in cryptocurrencies.

Buenos Aires Simplifies Municipal Payments and Attracts Crypto Companies
The program, called BA Crypto, integrates a payment system with a QR code compatible with some local digital wallets and plans to develop a platform that accepts payments from any crypto wallet, promoting interoperability. Additionally, it will simplify the taxation related to digital assets and encourage the arrival of service providers and companies linked to the sector, contributing to the creation of a more robust ecosystem.

B Strategy, a digital asset investment firm, plans to launch a treasury company focused on BNB, the native cryptocurrency of the BNB chain, aiming to raise $1 billion. This firm, listed in the U.S. and supported by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), seeks to become the "Berkshire Hathaway" of the BNB ecosystem, keeping the token as the main asset of the treasury and promoting ecosystem growth through investment in key technologies, innovative projects, and community support.

Ethereum $ETH reached a new all-time high near $4,953 before dropping to around $4,568, reflecting a 3.5% decline in 24 hours. This retracement occurred after long position liquidations and coincides with a historical seasonal weakness usually seen in September. However, institutional interest in Ethereum remains strong; just in August, ETH investment funds like ETFs saw net inflows of $2.79 billion, while Bitcoin had outflows of $1.2 billion, indicating a shift in investor preference.

Metaplanet, a Japanese firm, made a new Bitcoin purchase this week for $11.6 million, acquiring 103 BTC at an average price of $113,491 each. With this operation, its total holdings reach 18,991 bitcoins, purchased on average at $102,712 per unit, for an approximate value of $1.95 billion.

Metaplanet's purchase occurred shortly after Strategy's founder, Michael Saylor, posted on X declaring that 'Bitcoin is on sale.'

Jerome Powell, in his latest appearance at Jackson Hole, opted for the classic cautious rhetoric we know: the Fed will 'consider changes' in monetary policy, which in financial jargon means that a rate cut is on the table. Behind that carefully indeterminate language lies a bearish bias on interest rates, driven by an economy that appears stable (stable employment, promising data) but remains under the shadow of post-tariff inflation from Trump.
