GM,

What the hell is going on with the markets this week.

This is W3VE, your web3 whisperer here to translate Web3 jargon into plain Jane simple English. 

Without great infrastructure, your project is useless.

In the 1900’s, Andrew Carnegie helped build America through his company, US Steel, and that has shaped infrastructure and the way American is to this day.

Well, StakingCabin is what US Steel was 100 years ago, today.

They provide an infrastructure system that creates an easy and time-saving way for clients to safely stake their digital assets and earn rewards.

They are trusted by massive companies such as SUI, Aptos, IOTA and Monad - and for good reason too.

Do your company a favour – trust StakingCabin as your validator.
Do your assets a solid – trust StakingCabin as your staking provider.

5. Meme’s of the week

1. The Power couple era is over:

So basically, if you didn’t know, Donald Trump and Elon musk are these two really rich (and loud) guys. Elon owns Tesla, X, SpaceX and Starlink and Donald trump is the president of the United States of America - I know, it feels like when the 2 most random people you know get together and you’re just like ???

TL;DR - Trump created the “one big beautiful bill” which cuts electric car tax breaks meaning Elon Musk and Tesla could be hit with a bigger tax bill. Elon, feeling betrayed, goes full scorched earth on Twitter. Things escalate. They fall out.

So what does Elon do? The mature thing, obviously. He decides he wants to run for president to overthrow Trump and truly “make America great again”" - he is going to call his party, the “America Party.”

So what does mean for crypto?

In his announcement, he said that the “America Party” will embrace Bitcoin because fiat is “useless”.

Here’s what would happen if Elon becomes president:

a. Mainstream legitimacy for Bitcoin  

• At first glance, Elon seems to suggest that Bitcoin plays a central role in his new policies (of course he could have just said this to spark debate, but lets take his words at face value).

• Making Bitcoin central to U.S. policy would likely drive massive adoption, as a presidential endorsement signals to institutions, businesses, and retail investors that Bitcoin is no longer fringe or risky.

• Regulations would be less apparent which would render more financial flexibility with blockchain.

b. Shift from fiat to digital assets:

• The US dollar could face competition from Bitcoin as a store of value or even a transactional medium.

• There is potential for tax incentives or regulatory advantages for using Bitcoin.

• There is a going to be pushback from the fed and traditional banks.

c. Bitcoin price surges

• Just the speculation alone would increase Bitcoin prices as consumer anticipation would result in individuals buying Bitcoin which will drive up the price.

2. Pump.fun token sale page disappears from Gate.io ahead of planned launch

Crypto exchange Gate.io has secretly removed Pump.fun, a Solana-based meme coin platform that allows anyone to create a meme coin through a few clicks. Blink twice if you’ve thought about creating a meme coin and retiring in Bali, sipping Mai Tais on a beach. (got ya)

As of January 2025, during the meme coin bull run, the platform was generating over $7 million in daily revenue. By July 2025, it had facilitated the creation of over 11 million tokens and generated more than $700 million in total volume, according to Dune Analytics (https://dune.com/home).

All things considered, they are in really big trouble legally. I know - the L word. They received a warning from the Financial Conduct Authority, it was banned in the United Kingdom and is currently facing a class-action lawsuit in the United States.

The initial offering on Gate.io would have sold Pump.fun’s native token, PUMP. Pricing 150 billion tokens at $0.004 each, implying that they are trying to raise $600 million. But, as of the 8th of July, the exchange has since deleted the public offering with the Pump.io page rendering as 404 error.

The abrupt removal of the listing raises concerns about regulatory pressure, validity of the project and the basic economics of the token. The Pump token’s future still remains as an uncertainty.

One of these videos have 18 million views.

Take a guess which one it is:

Answer: How to start a speech

Why? 

A great title or the first line of content has to make a promise.

Why making a promise in the title or first line is powerful:

1) It tells readers what they’ll get as it sets clear expectation.

2) It tells readers why they should care - a strong promise taps into desire or curiosity.
