NEWS IN THREE SENTENCES
Crypto News 📰
🏈 LEVR Bet Brings Leveraged Sports Wagers to Avalanche
It’s combining the fun of sports betting with 5x leverage, letting you shift positions mid-game. With Avalanche’s dirt-cheap fees post-9000 upgrade, they can handle sudden surges for NFL playoffs and such. Testnet is live now with free credits—because nothing says “decentralized gambling” like practice bets for leaderboard clout. Avalanche blog.
🔓 Ledger Co-Founder Freed After Shocking Kidnapping
David Balland and his wife were abducted from their home, with kidnappers demanding a steep crypto ransom. French authorities swooped in, rescued them, and hush-hush details remain scarce. Meanwhile, rumors that Ledger’s other co-founder was also kidnapped have been debunked—apparently once is more than enough drama for hardware wallet founders. Cryptopotato.
💸 Pump.fun Shatters Record: $15.5M In Single-Day Fees
The meme-coin powerhouse on Solana celebrated its anniversary by racking up over $15 million in developer fees—yes, in a single day. Vine Coin mania apparently helped push that number over the edge. A US law firm might sue on behalf of unlucky degens, but if you’re not scared of a few lawsuits, Pump.fun might still be your playground. TheBlock.
🔎 Brave Search Rerank: Because One-Size-Fits-All Rankings Kinda Suck
They’re letting you “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” entire domains so you don’t keep seeing that site you hate. It’s local to you, no spooky personal data vacuuming—just pure algorithmic mutiny. Goggles aren’t gone; Rerank is the simpler cousin letting everyone boost or bury sites at will. Brave blog.
🏅 Algorand’s New Staking Rewards
After the big ‘Algorand 4.0’ upgrade, block proposers get 10 ALGO plus half the TX fees—no lockups, no slashing. They’re calling it an “inclusive” approach to staking, which basically means you can stake from a pool, run your own node, or do DeFi staking if you want. The chain wants more secure blocks and fewer reasons to ditch ALGO for the next shiny L1. Algorand blog.
🏦 Morgan Creek CEO: “XRP, ADA May Join U.S. Reserve”
Mark Yusko suggests the Trump administration might add these altcoins alongside Bitcoin in a potential national crypto stash. He’s praising XRP as a “bridge currency” and Cardano for its fancy proof-of-stake flair. Bitcoin maxis aren’t amused. ZyCrypto.
