FARTCOIN: FARTCOIN became a trending topic today due to a significant price surge. The coin reclaimed the $1 mark, surpassed a $10 billion market cap, outperforming Bitcoin and Solana, attracting the attention of fund managers and traders. The recent strong performance sparked discussions about its potential as a top-tier meme coin, with some even suggesting it could enter the top two. The community sentiment is high, and FARTCOIN's independent surge apart from the broader market trend is seen as a key factor in its success.

LUCE: Today, LUCE saw a surge in popularity within the crypto community, mainly driven by its price volatility and the death of Pope Francis. The token experienced a sharp increase, with market discussions linking its rally to the Pope's passing, leading to a flurry of speculative trading and conspiracy theories. LUCE's market activity is highly volatile, with traders fervently discussing its future potential amid market frenzy. Its association with religious themes and recent listings on exchanges like Gate.io further fueled market interest and trading volume.

COINBASE: Coinbase has garnered widespread attention today for several reasons, including its announcement of a self-custody recovery tool for unsupported SPL tokens, plans to apply for a U.S. banking license alongside Circle, BitGo, and Paxos, and involvement in the launch of the new token Zora, which has been criticized as having "no practical use case." Additionally, Coinbase has assisted BlackRock in purchasing Bitcoin and has shown support for Reserve Rights on the Base network, drawing public scrutiny.

XRP: XRP has taken the spotlight in the market today, largely due to several significant developments. The Attorney General of Oregon filed a lawsuit listing XRP as one of the 31 tokens allegedly involved in unregistered securities offerings, attracting widespread attention. Furthermore, Coinbase Derivatives introduced CFTC-regulated XRP futures products, Ripple launched the enterprise stablecoin RLUSD, which has gone live on Aave V3, Ethereum's core market, and Curve, enhancing its presence in the DeFi space. These events, combined with the overall upward trend of the crypto market amid a stock market downturn, have made XRP a focal asset.

1.《Farcaster's Major Transformation, a16z Spends $180 Million to Collapse Web3 Social》

ABCDE's announcement of halting new project investments and suspending the fundraising for its second fund has triggered another round of "VC is dead" lamentations on Crypto Twitter. However, in the previous cycle, VCs were shining brightly, relying on storytelling to boost valuations, packaging slide decks as the future of the internet. As the decentralized social media leader Farcaster, which raised a total of $180 million in two bull cycles, undoubtedly represents the apex of VC storytelling, Farcaster's answer is gradually becoming clear—not betting on the "decentralized imagination" anymore but on the "execution of tokenization." Farcaster is not a failed product but another narrative collapse in the crypto world. VCs have realized they don't have the power to rebuild the world; they merely cash out of a story of advance valuations.
