Cardano just woke up. ADA jumped roughly 11% in a day, from $0.239 on Sunday to $0.27 this Monday. Meanwhile, Bitcoin barely moved.So why is Cardano up today? In short, no single headline did it. ADA broke the $0.26 resistance, shorts got squeezed, and a week of ecosystem news supplied the fuel. As a result, price sits at its highest level since May.Below, I cover the news behind this Cardano breakout, the key levels, and my own trades.Why Is Cardano Up Today?First, the honest answer: nothing new was announced today. Several sites credit the T. Rowe Price crypto ETF. However,…

Privy Home is a free dashboard at home.privy.io that shows every embedded wallet tied to your email, Google, X or phone login. Ever signed into a crypto app without a wallet? Then that app probably created one for you. As a result, money can sit there for years without you knowing. Checking takes under a minute.This week the tool went viral on X. Usopp posted a screenshot showing $3,603 in forgotten funds. Then Zeneca, a well-known NFT account, said he found around $10,000 across apps he had long forgotten. So I ran my own emails through it. Below is what…

To buy XLM, sign up with any major crypto exchange, complete the identity check, deposit funds, and place an order on the XLM spot market. Stellar Lumens trade everywhere, cost around twenty cents apiece, and the purchase itself takes fifteen minutes. The two things worth learning beyond the buy button are the memo rule for transfers and, frankly, this coin’s remarkable history, because no asset in crypto means more to our corner of the industry.The Coin That Invented the Mega-AirdropBefore airdrops were a growth hack, they were Stellar’s founding philosophy. The network launched in 2014 with a plan to give…

PONS rev down 90% is the headline catching my attention this weekend. It was one of our best trades this summer, and I’m still watching it. Lower revenue means less fuel for the buyback and burn engine. Even so, it remains one of the Robinhood ecosystem coins I’d like to trade again.Right now, I’m in six trades: long ETH, USELESS, CATE and MET, with shorts on BTC and SOL. Let’s see which direction the market picks this weekend. As for PONS, I’m happy to wait. After such a big run, a 60–70% pullback from the highs wouldn’t surprise me. That’s…

Some reviews in this series are easy to write, while this one requires more care. Our BC.Game review for 2026 covers one of the biggest crypto casinos by pure size, and one of the most complained-about. The platform launched in 2017, supports more cryptocurrencies than anyone, and once sponsored Leicester City and the Argentina national team. At the same time, its Trustpilot score sits near the bottom of the industry, and Bitcointalk threads tell a rough story.We call things as we see them in our crypto casino review series, and BC.Game earns both praise and warnings. Below we cover the…

The Bitget post mortem is finally complete enough to read as one story. On September 24, 2026, attackers moved about $387.5 million out of Bitget’s hot and warm wallets. They did it without stealing a single private key. Instead, they broke in through two third-party security products and turned Bitget’s own signing system against it. Withdrawals are fully open again as of October 2. So here is what happened, what Bitget fixed, and what still has no answer.For the day-by-day updates, our Bitget hack timeline has every step. This post focuses on the lessons instead.Bitget Post Mortem: The Short Version…
