We went through this week in crypto so you don't have to 👇 ➡️ Total crypto market cap hit its highest level since late January, with bitcoin:native touching $87,2K on September 21 before settling back around $84,4K ➡️ Apple and Google are both hiring for blockchain payment roles built around stablecoins ➡️ Solana began activating Alpenglow on its public testnet, a new consensus design that cuts block finality from around 12,8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, roughly 85 times faster

🦸 Know your heroes in person $BTC added 8,69% this week and touched $87K at one point, its best level since January. Good week all round, and these three decided green wasn't green enough: 🥇 ethereum:0xaaaaaa20d9e0e2461697782ef11675f668207961 +292,32% 🥈 aioz-network:native +62,39% 🥉 solana:Grass7B4RdKfBCjTKgSqnXkqjwiGvQyFbuSCUJr3XXjs +48,03% Choose your fighter ⚔️

Anyone who put $2K into ethereum:0xaaaaaa20d9e0e2461697782ef11675f668207961 last week is looking at $9,390 today That's 369,5% in seven days, and another 17% came in over the past 24 hours. The trigger traces back to Zcash. Aurora Intents, the routing system the project runs, handled $19M of the volume in a Zcash NFT auction and came out ahead of everyone else doing it. That put a NEAR-based project that's been building since 2022 back in front of a market which has spent two months obsessed with privacy. Whales have been buying heavily for several days now, with over $350K going in. Maybe it's time to take a closer look at ethereum:0xaaaaaa20d9e0e2461697782ef11675f668207961 👇

Feels good man 💚 @pepecoineth is up around 45% on the week and was the best performer in the entire top 100 yesterday, climbing 27,2% in a day. Market cap is back above $2,1B. Some of that is the market doing the work. Bitcoin cleared $85K for the first time since January, money rotated into riskier assets, and memecoins took the biggest share of it. The rest is on $PEPE's own chart. A golden cross formed this month, which is the average price over 50 days crossing above the 200-day average, and traders read it as the trend turning up. Whales bought $560K worth yesterday, and around 6,9B tokens left exchanges the same day, which usually means holders are moving coins into their own wallets. One analyst floated a 220% extension from here with no timeline attached (not financial advice). In Lord Kek we trust 🐸

base:0x532f27101965dd16442e59d40670faf5ebb142e4 got the job because the people on Base decided he had it 🐸🔵 @BasedBrett comes out of Matt Furie's Boys' Club, the same underground comic that gave the internet Pepe. Somebody turned him into a token on February 24, 2024, as a fan tribute, half a year after Base opened to the public. The launch left nothing for insiders to sit on. 85% of the supply went straight into the liquidity pool, 10% to a treasury and 5% to an exchange wallet. The contract was renounced so nobody could change the rules later, and the liquidity was locked for a year. Nothing was reserved for a presale, so all 9,91B tokens that exist are already circulating. A takeover on X pushed Brett's mentions up 206% in a month. The market cap climbed from roughly $4M in late February 2024 to $1B by June, the first memecoin on Base to get there, and Dogecoin had needed years to reach that number. By December it was above $2,1B and the seventh-largest memecoin anywhere, past solana:ukHH6c7mMyiWCf1b9pnWe25TSpkDDt3H5pQZgZ74J82 and closing on $BONK. Coinbase's CEO gave it a nod with a profile picture change, and Matt Furie referenced the character himself this summer. A comic character who mostly dances and plays video games ended up as the unofficial face of Coinbase's chain 💙
