    Pump.fun Retakes Lead Over Tron's SunPump as Justin Sun Pushes 'Celebrity Season'

    Solana-based meme coin factory Pump.fun has retaken a key statistical lead over SunPump, nearly two weeks after the Tron token launchpad flipped Pump.fun in daily created coins.  On August 21, SunPump created 1,658 more tokens than Pump.fun over a 24 hour period. But this token creation dominance was short-lived. On Wednesday, according to Dune data, SunPump created just 1,258 tokens, falling 83% from 7,531 tokens created just two weeks prior. This decline can also be seen in the Tron launchpad...

    Sundog Meme Coin on Tron Spikes After SunPump Platform Launch

    Despite falling prices, the craze for trading dog and cat memes may be far from over—it's simply branching out to new blockchains. Tron's flagship meme coin, Sundog (SUNDOG), is flying high since launching on August 15, making waves on Crypto Twitter as the network’s first buzzy meme coin. At the time of writing, its market cap has surged to $126 million after peaking at $325 million. In a recent buying frenzy, a single whale invested $450,000 in Sundog, sending its price soaring.

    Bitcoin Policy Competition Between China and US Would Benefit Industry, Says Justin Sun

    Tron founder Justin Sun has urged China to reassess its position on Bitcoin, following former President Donald Trump's endorsement of the digital currency and plans to make the U.S. the world crypto capital. Trump pledged to create a “strategic Bitcoin stockpile” for the U.S. during his keynote address at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville on Saturday.  "As the final part of my plan today, I am announcing that if I am elected, it will be the policy of my administration, the United States o...

    SEC Amends Justin Sun Lawsuit to Cite His Extensive Travel in US

    The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed an amended complaint in its lawsuit against Tron founder Justin Sun, arguing that because he "traveled extensively" to the U.S., the case falls under the country's jurisdiction. In the complaint, the SEC notes that over three years from 2017 to 2019, Sun spent around 380 days in the U.S., undertaking business trips to New York City, Boston and San Francisco in 2019. The SEC also pointed to Sun's stays at a apartment in the U.S. rented b...

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Circle Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte disputed claims made in a 13-page letter the lawmakers received earlier this month from the Campaign for Accountability, which asserted that Circle facilitates money laundering by terror...

    Poloniex, a crypto exchange owned by Tron founder Justin Sun, has seen more than $126 million worth of crypto assets exit one of its wallets as the result of a "hack incident."

    Huobi Reclaims $8 Million In Stolen Ethereum After Offering Bounty to Hacker

    Huobi Gloabl’s cryptocurrency exchange has recovered millions in stolen funds from a hacker who absconded with them in September after making contact with the attacker and negotiating a deal to see it returned.  Justin Sun, a Huobi Global investor and HTX adviser, took to Twitter on Saturday to announce that $8 million in stolen Ether (ETH) was restored and that the hacker made “the right choice” to accept HTX’s offer.

    This Week on Crypto Twitter: Binance’s CZ and the SEC’s Gary Gensler Face Stiff Criticism

    Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt Once again, U.S. regulators offered very little to the international crypto community to chew on this week. VanEck’s SEC-approved Ethereum futures ETF was confirmed on Thursday, however, adding modest gains to the bags of Ethereum (ETH) holders. Beyond that, lawmakers in Washington still appear to be dragging their feet compared to their European counterparts—distracted as they were with a very close call with a government shutdown. The denizens of Cr...

According to him, one can’t rule out that, for example, the U.S. government will not require anyone swapping crypto tokens to go through KYC checks, meaning that “if you want to develop a decentralized exchange like Uniswap, you also want KYC for all your on-chain users.” “In the future, we will probably have these kinds of licenses for decentralized exchanges," ad...
