Crypto Potato says $25K is the last resistance before blasting past $30K. BTC’s market cap flips Visa’s. While the market cap could slide again before the next bull run, this is a good sign. Bitcoin is recording blocks near 4 MB again. Will Ordinals benefit the Bitcoin blockchain? Robert Kiyosaki says bitcoin is better for unstable times than stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

Justin Sun, Huobi, Tron partner to launch Dominica Coin, the first token issued by a sovereign nation. Someday, every nation will have its official national blockchain. They’ll either create one of their own or they’ll adopt one already in existence. Some may choose Bitcoin, others may choose Solana or Ethereum. That day will usher in a new type of Cold War.

Ripple has purchased $8.4 billion in XRP from secondary markets since its lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began in December 2020.
