Dogecoin (DOGE), dubbed “the people’s crypto” by Elon Musk, dropped as much as 12.5% yesterday (-%22 in total over the previous week). As of now, the coin is down 7.29%. Dogecoin 24h price performance. Source: Finbold.com The plunge coincides with Musk’s formal exit from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the Trump administration initiative at the core of Musk’s plan to modernize information technology federal efficiency. Musk and Trump have been squabbling for some time now, with the former criticizing the latter’s recent spending bill and its consequences for the electric vehicle (EV) sector.  Yesterday, Musk even claimed Trump would have lost the election without his backing, prompting Trump to threaten to cancel federal contracts with his companies. Dogecoin price plunges Given that it’s a meme coin, Dogecoin’s value is more reactive to celebrity influence than actual fundamentals. In particular, it is reactive to Musk’s public moves....

The decentralized oracle network Chainlink (LINK) continues to dominate crypto’s real-world asset (RWA) sector in terms of development activity, according to the analytics firm Santiment. Santiment notes in a new post on the social media platform X that Chainlink registered 532.43 notable GitHub events in the past 30 days. The figure far exceeds the second-ranked RWA project, the layer-1 blockchain Avalanche (AVAX), which clocked 290.87 GitHub events. The peer-to-peer payments project Stellar (XLM) was third, with 240.7. Chainlink has occupied the top spot on Santiment’s list all year, often clocking multiple times the number of GitHub events as the second-ranked project. Source: Santiment/X Santiment notes that it doesn’t count routine updates and uses a “better methodology” to collect data for GitHub events based on a “backtested process.” The analytics firm has previously said that heavy development activity centered around a crypto project is a ...

Shaquille O’Neal, the legendary National Basketball Association (NBA) star, has received a final court approval to settle his class-action lawsuit with the Astral non-fungible token collection buyers for $11 million. O’Neal is one of many celebrities who previously promoted NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and other digital asset projects but faced significant liability under US securities laws. O’Neal Fined $11M In Astral NFT Lawsuit On April 8, 2025, Federico A Moreno, a federal court judge in Florida, United States, finally granted the former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal a final court approval to settle a class-action lawsuit with the Astral NFT buyers for $11 million. The settlement deal stipulates that legend O’Neal will pay $2.9 million in attorney fees and costs. He will also pay back all those who purchased the Astral NFT collection from May 2022 to January 2023. Those who purchased the project’s native $GLXY tokens until January 2023 are also eligible....

1. Subcultures: From the Fringe to the Spotlight Expression is a universal human trait. A great meme can transcend cultural boundaries and make anyone smile. When collective identity, emotion, and intention converge, they form distinct values, language, and aesthetics. That’s how subcultures emerge — like the dramatic QQ “Zang Ai” clan, the dance style “Shehui Yao” during the mobile video era, or the fringe-dwelling “Sanhe Gods” of post-industrial China. They may seem obscure or outdated today, but they each embodied a striking and extreme expression of their time. No subculture is inherently superior. A hippie on a spiritual retreat isn’t more refined than someone reading pulp fiction. Enjoying Star Wars or believing in reincarnation doesn’t make someone more sophisticated than a fan of 90s Hong Kong gangster films. In fact, the more niche the aesthetic, the less it resonates universally. We’ve lived through the agricultural, industrial, and information revolutions — and now we’re cra...

A bizarrely twisted tale unfolded yesterday in crypto’s underworld of decentralized finance (DeFi). The perpetrator of a multi-million dollar heist against a project called ZKLend (short for “zero knowledge proof lending”) subsequently lost those ill-gotten gains to a second phishing scam. The ouroboros started on February 11, 2025 when ZKLend lost 3,600 ether (ETH) to its hackers. Administrators begged them to return the funds and unfortunately, weeks went by with no news. ZKLend announced a $500,000 bounty for the arrest and return of funds, but still no luck. Then, on March 31, an on-chain chat between the hacker “Fake_Phishing927538” and ZKLend’s token deployer account revealed new, devastating news.  “​​I tried to move funds to tornado [cash] but I used a phishing website and all the funds have been lost,” Fake_Phishing927538 wrote to the ZKLend team.  “I am devastated. I am terribly sorry for all the havoc and losses caused. All the 2930 eth have bee...

Meme Index ($MEMEX) is nearing $4 million in presale, drawing investors seeking a safer way to invest in meme coins. Meanwhile, American rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) is stirring confusion in the crypto space with the launch of a meme coin – only to later deny any involvement.

Investor frustration is mounting as high-profile figures continue to exploit their influence for quick profits, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the meme coin sector.

The Official Trump meme coin, currently priced at $29, has seen a sharp decline from its previous high of $75. Despite a current dip, the coin remains a topic of interest in the market. It’s also important to note that some early investors may still be in significant profit, as the coin’s market cap reached $5 billion within just five days of launch. Although the price is falling, there’s potential for a rebound. One potential factor to consider is the executive order signed by Donald Trump aiming to make America the global capital of crypto. This could positively impact the coin in the long run. Additionally, the coin has gained real-world utility, being accepted for bookings through Travala, a company that allows crypto payments for flights, hotels, and activities. This could lead to more selling as people cash out, but it may also help increase the coin’s value over time. $TRUMP Price Prediction The coin’s market cap is hovering around $5.85 billio...

The Official Trump price went ballistic and soared over 10,880% in the last 24 hours to trade at $10.01 as of 8:24 a.m. EST as degen investors pile into the crypto. The remarkable surge in the TRUMP price saw the meme coin’s fully diluted market soar to an eye-popping $21 billion within hours of its debut at 2:00 a.m. UTC.  TRUMP’s impressive performance comes after the token was promoted on the X account of US President-elect Donald Trump.
