Bitcoin appeared on the Las Vegas Sphere—an enormous, globe-like screen that can be seen from vast distances—on Monday thanks to an advertisement from prominent centralized crypto exchange Crypto.com.
As a video shared by the exchange late Monday shows, an enormous Bitcoin logo covers the towering presence on the Las Vegas Strip, then transitions to scads of golden digital Bitcoins adorning the screen. Of course, the Crypto.com logo also appears.
Bitcoin is the largest crypto asset by market cap and the O.G. coin that spawned the broader crypto industry. But backers of another, more recent crypto token had raised funds to try and beat Bitcoin to the punch: Back in March, the Dogwifhat (WIF) meme coin community raised over $700,000 to get their dog on the Sphere.
With no apparent movement on getting the meme dog on the landmark, critics of the “Sphere Wif Hat” fundraiser have speculated that the Las Vegas arena would not ultimately offer advertising space to crypto projects. But with Bitcoin now appearing on the Sphere, some in the WIF community believe that the door is open for them.
For the finale of our 8th anniversary, we’re recognizing the protocol that started it all.#Cryptocom8 #BTC #SphereVegas @SphereVegas pic.twitter.com/kqItMpm37Q

One of the organizers of the fundraiser, prominent pseudonymous meme coin trader Ansem, reposted the video while adding a simple text smile. By and large, the community reaction to Crypto.com’s ad is that WIF’s advertising campaign must be on the horizon, given the apparent ability for cryptocurrency projects to make the cut.
Nearly three months after organizers raised $700,000, Solana meme coin sensation Dogwifhat still hasn’t been advertised on the Las Vegas Sphere. Donors and investors are getting restless. Some have even demanded a refund. “The Sphere is still being worked on,” Mihir, one of the Dogwifhat fundraiser organizers, said in the Solana meme coin’s Telegram channel. “These things take time and we're all volunteering our time working for the meme.” After a meteoric start to the year, during which time th...
“This must be an AI-generated deepfake, as I have been repeatedly told by [Crypto Twitter] that the Sphere doesn’t want to have anything to do with crypto,” pseudonymous Dogwifhat investor Free sarcastically posted on Twitter.
But not everyone is happy about the lack of concrete status updates around the “Sphere Wif Hat” campaign, or Ansem’s scattered replies. The Dogwifhat Telegram channel set up an automatic response for anyone who asks, given the frequency of the inquiries, and that’s remained in use for more than a month now.

“Everyone will be given notice here once a concrete date is set,” the automatic response reads. “We are exploring partnership angles for the sphere and trying to maximize the effect! We are getting closer to a date set!”
Mihir and Quasi, two of the campaign organizers, did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.
The price of WIF is down 7% over the past 24 hours to a current price of $2.56. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has taken much less of a hit with a roughly 2% drop during the same span.

JPMorgan Chase has filed for a Web3 offering called JPMD with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, stoking speculation the U.S. investment bank is planning to launch a stablecoin. The trademark application, filed on June 15, describes a project that entails “trading, exchange, transfer and payment services for digital assets” issued on blockchains. The U.S. PTO has accepted—but not yet approved—the proposal. The filing neither uses the word stablecoin, nor describes plans to issue a digital a...
Donald Trump’s crypto holdings were his second biggest source of income last year—and that was before the president retook office and made billions more off the sector from the White House. According to annual financial disclosure forms filed Friday with the United States Office of Government Ethics, Trump made over $58 million from crypto ventures in 2024. The vast majority of that revenue came from sales of WLFI, the governance token issued by World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypt...
President Trump rolled out the U.S. Army in a military spectacle that drew thousands of attendees on Saturday and cost upwards of $45 million. As armed troops marched through Washington, D.C., a special acknowledgement echoed through the sound system, thanking crypto exchange Coinbase for sponsoring the event. The moment has been viewed millions of times on X alone, with Coinbase facing considerable criticism from crypto users. Peter Saddington, who claims to have bought Bitcoin as early as 2011...
