TRON Surges Past 8 Million Daily Transactions as TRX Holds Above $0.27

Floki’s interview on Bloomberg's FintechTV can bring much attention. Pedro Vidal will talk about Floki’s growing ecosystem and the upcoming Valhalla mainnet launch. News shared in big interviews often creates stronger interest, which may cause prices to move higher, especially if the marketing campaign proves strong and new plans are revealed. However, if no new or exciting details are shared, the effect can be small. Large media exposure usually leads to more buyers, so this interview could be an important short-term price catalyst for FLOKI. Read the announcement here.

A live AMA with Gate.io gives Bellscoin, Circuits of Value, and more a big chance to get attention. Because Bellscoin now connects with Litecoin and Dogecoin for merge mining, more miners and users may join. If many people learn about this during the AMA, interest can grow, and price may move up. But if questions from listeners are tough or bad news is shared, price may fall. Usually, AMAs bring short-term interest and sometimes price jumps, but lasting effects depend on news quality. See details on the AMA here.

The listing of StablR Euro (EURR) on BingX with EURR/USDT pair may increase trading and bring more buyers. New listings often cause short price jumps because fresh traders now have access. Still, as EURR is a stablecoin linked to the euro, its price should not move sharply, since it is designed to stay equal to one euro. Instead, more attention may help its adoption and trading volume, but not cause big price changes. The event is positive for finding new users. See the listing details here.

A wallet believed to belong to Ogle, the pseudonymous crypto influencer and advisor to World Liberty Financial, has posted unrealized losses exceeding $100,000 after betting against the $TRUMP meme token, according to data tracked by Lookonchain.

Ogle reportedly opened a 10x leveraged short on $TRUMP at an entry price of $9.4, with a liquidation level set at $12.49. Although the meme coin briefly dipped below the entry point, it has since rebounded above that level.

$TRUMP is currently trading at around $9.8, down approximately 10% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data .

President Trump’s official coin dropped below $10.5 on Thursday afternoon following fresh legal drama and political heat.

World Liberty, strongly backed by the Trump family, including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, issued a cease-and-desist letter to Fight Fight Fight, the team behind the Official Trump coin, and to Magic Eden, over their development of an unaffiliated Trump-branded crypto wallet, per Bloomberg.

After the wallet’s existence surfaced, Eric Trump threatened legal action, making it clear the Trump family had no connection to the initiative.

While prior interactions had blurred the lines between Trump-themed crypto projects, the family now insists they have no involvement in the crypto project and teased that their official wallet is coming soon.

Bearish momentum intensified later in the day after President Trump publicly pushed back against Elon Musk’s criticism of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a piece of legislation Trump has championed.

Musk responded swiftly, disputing Trump’s statements and igniting what many are calling the most high-profile feud between two of the most influential figures in tech and politics.

Tensions between Trump and Musk spilled into the markets on Thursday, dragging down both traditional and crypto assets. Tesla shares plunged more than 15%, marking their worst single-day performance since September 2020, according to Yahoo Finance.

It wasn’t just $TRUMP and $TSLA feeling the heat. The broader crypto market took a hit, with Bitcoin briefly dipping below $101,000.

Ethereum fell by around 7%, Solana dropped 5%, and both XRP and BNB slid approximately 4% as risk-off sentiment spread.

On a day when most things fell apart, Fartcoin (FARTCOIN ) was an unexpected winner. The token soared over 10% after Coinbase put it on its listing radar.

Bored Apes creator Yuga Labs proposed discontinuing its ApeCoin DAO governance system to establish a new operating model for growing the Ethereum-based token Ape's ecosystem.

"ApeCoin DAO was a bold experiment, but one born of a different era," Yuga Labs CEO Greg Solano wrote in the Thursday proposal. "What started with promise has devolved into sluggish, noisy, and often unserious governance theater."

To salvage and advance the DAO's sole remaining merit — funding builders — Yuga Labs proposed replacing it with a new entity, ApeCo. 

The transition aims to eliminate ambiguity in governance and focus resources on building the ecosystem's three core pillars, which are ApeChain, Bored Ape Yacht Club and Otherside. It also plans to empower "real" builders by setting milestone-based grants and tighter accountability.

Founded in 2022, the ApeCoin DAO launched ApeCoin on the Ethereum blockchain as an independent, decentralized entity that is separate from Yuga Labs, despite being connected to its ecosystem.

However, the DAO has since struggled to maintain apt governance operations that benefit the project as a whole. "[The DAO] has been nothing but a joke, and a drag on the entire ecosystem, pillaged and slow and inefficient and overpoliticized since inception, with unaligned bad actors and extractors everywhere," wrote X user @OGDfarmer. "It's clear that [Solano's] Yuga would be better stewards."

If the proposal is accepted, the ApeCoin DAO will be fully terminated, with all rights and powers of token holders related to governance and assets. It would also nullify previous ApeCoin Improvement Proposals (AIPs) and kill delegated authorities, working groups, elections, and forums.

Yuga's latest proposal met with mostly positive feedback in the ApeCoin forum. The proposal has been put to a vote on the forum. It is, however, for checking community sentiment and not an official vote.

Meanwhile, Yuga Labs recently sold off several popular NFT intellectual properties, including Moonbirds, CryptoPunks and Meebits, suggesting that the company is sharpening its focus on its core offerings.

ApeCoin's price has dropped 50% in the past year, currently trading at $0.70, according to The Block's price page. The token is down 97% from its all-time high of $26.
