The global crypto market pushed another 2% higher, hitting $3.22 trillion. Bitcoin’s up 1% at $93,780. Ethereum climbed 2% to $3,240. Solana’s at $139, up 3%. But XRP stole the show — up 12% to $2.37.
Top movers? RENDER and SUI each jumped 18%. LIT added 15%.

Japan’s finance minister endorsed deeper crypto integration. That means lower taxes and exchange-level reforms. It’s a shift worth watching.
Vitalik Buterin claimed Ethereum solved the “Blockchain Trilemma” — balancing decentralization and scalability through the Layer-2 roadmap. Big claim. We’ll see how it holds up.
Not everything’s rosy. Kraken’s investigating reports that customer data is allegedly for sale on the dark web after a potential security exploit. And Ledger users are on alert after a data breach at e-commerce partner Global-E exposed customer contact details.
