    Solana Meme Coin Factory Pump.fun Is the Fastest Growing Crypto App in History

    Pump.fun has notched $100 million in revenue in just over seven months, making it the fastest-growing protocol by revenue growth in the cryptocurrency ecosystem—even as activity on the platform has slowed in recent weeks.  The memecoin launchpad, which debuted in January, hit $100 million in revenue in 217 days, data from Dune Analytics shows. That’s 34 days less than it took the next fastest-growing protocol, ENA, to hit the same revenue benchmark, according to an analysis from Ryan Watkins, da...

    RFK Jr. Threatened to Steal the Bitcoin Vote From Trump—Now They're United

    When Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—the scion of America’s most prominent political dynasty—exalted the virtues of the leading cryptocurrency during a speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in July, attendees cheered.  Members of the campaign for Donald J. Trump, who was also speaking at the conference later that week, likely sweated, however. Kennedy, to some observers, appeared deeply immersed in the space, while Trump’s proclamations were more surface-level—plus the former president had previously crit...

    Bitcoin Bull RFK Jr. Joins Trump’s Transition Team After Suspending Campaign

    Bitfarms Acquisition of Bitcoin Miner Stronghold a ‘Strategic’ Move Against Rival Riot: Experts

    Bitfarms has acquired Stronghold Digital Mining, a “strategic” move that could help the Bitcoin miner resist a hostile takeover by its rival Riot, several experts told Decrypt.  Bitfarms agreed this week to purchase the crypto mining firm in a $175 million deal, the company said Wednesday. Market watchers say the deal will boost Bitfarm's valuation and operations, making the firm a more challenging acquisition target for its competitor. “By acquiring Stronghold now, Bitfarms demonstrates that it...
