$ETH is alive and kicking, and it just dropped a major upgrade.
Pectra is now live on Ethereum mainnet
• Smart wallets are here (finally, no more clunky UX)
• L2s got a boost with 2x blob space
• Validators getting some love too
This upgrade is no joke, 11 EIPs packed in, including raising the staking cap to 2,048 ETH and letting wallets act like smart contracts. Huge.
Market’s feeling it.
$ETH up 22% in a day, sitting around $2,250.
BTC? Bro just flew past $100K again. ETF flows are solid.
Feels like we’re back in that risk-on vibe.
ETH might’ve been sleeping all year, but it’s catching up fast.
L2s are heating, altcoins are getting attention, and the bulls? They’re knocking.
Let’s see how far this ride goes.
The U.S. SEC and Ripple file a joint motion requesting an indicative ruling to enforce the parties’ settlement agreement.
In an unexpected turn of events, the parties filed a motion in a New York federal court yesterday, informing the court of their settlement.
SEC Approves Settlement with Ripple
The filing comes hours after the SEC officially announced a settlement with Ripple and two of its executives, Chris Larsen and Brad Garlinghouse.
The SEC’s commissioners expectedly approved the settlement terms, which require Ripple to pay a fine of $50 million instead of the initial $125 million order and also vacate the permanent injunction imposed on the company’s future XRP sales.
This approval has been pending for over a month. However, the SEC approved the decision yesterday following a closed-door meeting at the commission.
Parties Ask Judge Torres for Indicative Ruling
Following the approval, the parties jointly filed a settlement agreement letter in the New York federal court. In the filing, the SEC and Ripple asked Judge Analisa Torres for an indicative ruling.
This ruling would determine whether the judge, upon a future joint motion, would vacate the permanent injunction she imposed in her final judgment last year and release the $125 million held in escrow. Of this amount, the parties want $50 million allocated to the SEC, with the $75 million balance returned to Ripple.
Next Steps to Full Resolution
Meanwhile, famous defense lawyer James K. Filan highlighted the next steps in resolving the lawsuit.
Following the parties’ latest filing, the next steps will hinge on whether Judge Torres grants the indicative ruling to dismiss the injunction and release the fine held in escrow.
If granted, the SEC and Ripple will file a motion with the Second Circuit asking for a limited remand to have Judge Torres enforce these orders. Once approved, Judge Torres will have jurisdiction over the case for a limited time....

Recently, I’ve been researching on interesting projects in Web3, more or less every weekend, as you know me. I recently found @OzakAGI.
I believe Ozak AI could be the next big thing because of the Ai trend going on.
The truth is that Ozak Ai is a predictive Ai powered decentralized network that eats massive amounts of data to forecast market trends.
Imagine if you could know what will happen next in the market with 90% accuracy before making any moves, you won’t be sidelined again.
Data is something people don’t really understand that it helps a lot in this space
Ozak is pushing the boundaries of data analytics and interpretation and I’m here for it.
Now BTC and everything is going up, buying $OZ token won’t be a bad idea.
Their presale is in Phase 3 rn, and early investors who bought in Phase 1 have already in profit.
Link in the comments if you’d like to buy. I totally recommend you do.

Conviction Play: Whale Drops $5.53M on $TRUMP and Rides $AVA Gains
Five hours ago, a deep-pocketed whale went all-in on #TRUMP , spending $5.53 million to purchase 390,435 tokens at $14.16 apiece.
But that’s not all. Just two days earlier, the same wallet spent 2,492 $SOL (worth $371K) to buy 4.45M AVA, which has since appreciated to $488.6K, giving the whale a tidy unrealized profit of $117K.

Yesterday, we had such a great time at the AWS Summit Hong Kong 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre! 🇭🇰 This marks the 10th year of AWS Summit in #HongKong, we're thrilled to be able to be a part of such a significant milestone. 👏
The #AWSSummit is a one-day event focused on advancing cloud computing, generative AI, and digital transformation - with companies and industry leaders attending from all around the globe. 🌎
General sentiments were still #bullish on #ArtificialIntelligence and the growth in agentic systems - so that space still seems primed for growth throughout 2025. 📈
Notable attendees included Steve Ng (CEO, Offbeat, HKTV Group Subsidiary), Sunny Fok (SVP, @cryptocom), Wendy Chow (Head of Information and Communications Technology, @InvestHK), Teresa Leung (Deputy General Manager, Octopus Card Ltd) and more. 👏
If you couldn't attend the event, we've got you covered! Here are 4 key highlights we think you shouldn't miss. ⬇️😉
Vă zic sincer că și eu m-am îndoit de mine când le-am zis apropiaților să ia ETH sub 2500 lejer si sub 2000 agresiv... ceea ce nu îmi permit să fac așa "direct" pe youtube desigur și așa zic mulți că "influențăm lumea negativ"
Eu mereu am încercat să expun 3-4 întrebări la care TU sa iti raspunzi inainte sa investesti, nu sa te "influentez" eu, de exemplu:
➜ Cata incredere ai in ETH daca scade in continuare, o vezi ca o oportunitate?
➜ Cum stai cu lichiditatea si cat iti permiti sa investesti? ca daca o sa ai nevoie de bani o sa iti vina sa vinzi la pretul actual
➜ Cat esti confortabil sa ai investit? mai ales pt momentele cand scade piata, cineva cu experienta poate rezista cu -2.000 $ pe portofel sa zic, cineva fara experienta se poate speria si la -250 $ mai ales cand faci comparatia aia ca pentru 1.000 $ muncesti o luna sau ce puteai sa iti iei cu 100 $ / 200 $ etc.
Desigur ca acum intra FOMO in toti si imi zic de ce nu le-am zis sa investeasca mai mult!🤣
Concluzia o trageti voi.
Insider Nets Nearly $1M from $DIDDY Token Launch by Capitalizing on Market Hype
While the market was riding a bullish wave, @Diddy dropped a new token, $DIDDY—and an opportunistic insider made the most of it.
The insider created a fresh wallet just a day before launch, topped it with capital, and acted fast.
They spent $349.9K on #DIDDY shortly after launch and cashed out for $1.4M, walking away with a tidy $989.6K profit in less than 2 hours.
Such swift and calculated movements raise questions about pre-launch access and coordination—especially when profits come this easy.

Several large ETH-USDT short positions were forcibly closed just minutes ago, indicating stop-losses or liquidations as the market moved against the trader.
This event comes as ETH and the broader crypto market are experiencing a strong recovery, posing high risk for short sellers.
