📚 CZ turns the hype around meme coins into free schools

The CZ Giggle Academy raised over $1.3 million in donations in just a few hours - mainly through the new $GIGGLE meme coin, with trading commissions going towards maintaining the school.

⚠️ Some say that 90% of the initial funding came from this one coin.

🚸 The academy offers free K-12 education in finance, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, without politics or history. CZ positions it as a supplement to schools, not a replacement.

🌐 If it catches on, we may see such coins become the next trend in memes and early education.

🎢 From 10x to -90%: The Meme Coin Standard

🚀 Over the past week, multiple micro-cap memecoins saw insane pumps—some hitting 500%+ intraday gains fueled by influencer hype.
📉 But by the next day, many of those same tokens retraced -60% to -90%, leaving late buyers holding the bag.
🐋 On-chain data shows whales consistently using these rallies to exit, while retail traders are left chasing shadows.

👉 Just a reminder: memecoins remain the ultimate volatility casino—sometimes jackpot, sometimes wipeout.

💸 Machines Got Wallets Now?!

⚡️ Coinbase and Cloudflare just dropped something wild - the x402 protocol, aka “when your robot stops mooching and starts paying rent.”

👉 Instead of websites throwing “Error 402 - Payment Required” at bots, now AI agents can actually pay up on the spot. Think:

🤖 Trading bots tossing coins per data request.

🛒 AI assistants buying your Halloween costume accessories before you even hit checkout.

💾 Crawlers stacking thousands of pages, then getting billed at day’s end like it’s a bar tab.

📊 Fun fact: bots already account for 70% of stablecoin transfers, and the stablecoin market has ballooned from $4B in 2020 to $280B+ today. Basically, the machines are running DeFi behind our backs.

💶 Europe Says: “We Want Our Own Stablecoin!”

🤣 Forget USDT – nine European banks just decided to cook up their own euro-backed stablecoin, sett to launch in 2026. UniCredit, ING, DekaBank, and friends are basically saying: “We’re tired of asking Tether for lunch money.”

📊 Right now, euro stablecoins = pocket change ($637M). USD stablecoins = swimming pool full of cash ($173B). But experts think euro coins could moon to €1 trillion someday.

⚡️ Translation: Europe’s finally bringing its own coin to the stablecoin party – fashionably late, but dressed in MiCA compliance.

🚫💴 Fake Yuan Stablecoin? HK Says Nope!

👀 Twitter was buzzing with rumors that Hong Kong secretly dropped the world’s first offshore yuan stablecoin.
🙅 HKMA came in like: “Chill guys, that’s fake news. Nobody’s minting yuan coins here.”
⚖️ New rules = no license, no coin. And spreading hype about phantom coins? That’s now literally illegal.

So yeah, no surprise yuan coin for your bags just yet. But hey – with HK tightening the stablecoin leash, maybe they’re just setting the stage for a CBDC mic drop later.

💰 Curve DAO drops $60M bag on new Egorov project

🪙 DAO just signed off on $60M in crvUSD for Yield Basis, Egorov’s new shiny toy.
🤔 Some members screamed “risk! tokenomics! what if it gets hacked?!”
🛡 Egorov replied: “Relax, we’ve had 6 audits and a panic button. We’re good.”
🚀 Plan: three Bitcoin pools, no impermanent loss (at least that’s the sales pitch).

😁So yeah… Curve is basically YOLO’ing its own credit line into its founder’s project. What could possibly go wrong?

🔥 BNB went to $1,083, then tripped on its own hype

ATH: $1,083 🚀

Now: chilling under $1K at $991 😬

Trading volumes: down bad, -17% spot, -24% futures 📉

Analyst vibes: “Still bullish long-term, but yeah, maybe cool it with the FOMO.”

So BNB basically pulled the classic crypto move: moon, flex, dump, repeat.

🗣 “Hey Nansen AI, make me rich.”

Nansen just launched an AI sidekick that:

Reads wallets like gossip magazines 📰

Explains your portfolio losses nicely 💔

Will soon trade for you 🤯

Justin Sun already simping: “AI agents are the future of trading.”

Well, yeah, ChatGPT but it also judges your degen wallet history.

🧨Vitalik just dropped Fusaka: Ethereum’s “Turbo Mode”

Launch: Dec 3 🎯

Tech: PeerDAS = validators don’t read the whole book, just random pages 📖

Effect: Ethereum gets swole, gas fees go on a diet 💪

Right now:

2M ETH waiting to exit = 43-day queue

Revenue down 44% = ETH broke but ambitious 🪙

💁🏼‍♂️Vitalik basically said: “Don’t worry about L2 chaos. Mainnet about to flex with math magic.”

⚡️ETH is like Google — runs boring but profitable stuff in the background, while Fusaka makes it lightning fast.

USDC Wants a “Refund Button” 🔄

Circle’s like: “What if stablecoins worked like credit cards?” 💳

Fraud? Refund.

Wrong address? Refund.

Bad NFT? Maybe refund 👀

Heath Tarbert admits: instant + irreversible ≠ perfect combo. So Circle might add a “counter-payment” layer to make TradFi comfy.

Crypto purists: “This isn’t blockchain anymore.”
Institutions: “Shut up and take my compliance.”

📅 October = ETF Season
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to decide on 16 crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications in October, making it a pivotal month for the industry.
🐕 DOGE Day, SOL Sunday, XRP Wednesday… feels like Wall Street is playing bingo with altcoins.
📅 The marathon starts with the Litecoin ETF on Oct 2 and closes with WisdomTree’s XRP ETF on Oct 24.
💡 Analysts whisper about an incoming altcoin rally, but CT just wants to know which coin will moon first.
🤣 Meanwhile, Fidelity and BlackRock are sitting this round out like “we’ll come to the party later.”
🔍 Stay tuned - October might turn into the weirdest crypto calendar ever.

TZUP: Buyback, Bitcoin, and a Dash of Doge 🐶📈

Thumzup’s like:

Spent $1M buying itself ✔️

Launching $10M more ✔️

HODLing 19 BTC & 7.5M DOGE ✔️

Maybe buying a Dogecoin mining farm ✔️

Oh, and Trump Jr. has 350K shares 😂

Stock went +5.7% because apparently, the market loves companies that pay themselves while stacking DOGE.

Some say it’s “strategy.” Others say it’s “stonks cosplay.” Either way: Web3 advertising has never looked more meme-ready.

A 164-year-old Japanese textile giant, Marusho Hotta, is officially rebranding as Bitcoin Japan Corporation.

If successful, Thailand could become one of Asia’s most open ETF markets for digital assets 🚀

🧠💰 “Solana Company” doubles down on SOL - now holds $525M worth 🚀

Formerly Helius Medical Technologies, the newly renamed Solana Company now holds 2.2 million SOL - worth over $525 million 💎
At current prices around $235.60, that makes it one of the largest corporate Solana holders ever.

The firm plans to use its remaining $15M cash to buy even more SOL, mirroring MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin playbook.
They’re also staking tokens to support the network and earn yield 🔥

Looks like “Saylorification” is spreading… but this time, it’s Solana’s turn 😏⚡️
