WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY

• Suspicious changes made to $PEPE contract – watch out!

• Are high Bitcoin transaction fees a thing of the past?

• Donald Trump NFTs soar after his mugshot release

• FTX users’ data stolen!?

$PEPE contract changes

In a surprising twist, word is buzzing that the PEPE project might have trimmed the signature count for tinkering with its multisig wallet from five to just two. While the confirmation on this remains fuzzy, the news triggered quite a stir.

Result? A 13 percent nosedive in PEPE's price. Allegedly, following this smart contract switcheroo, one of the multisig wallets went ahead and dispatched a whopping 16 trillion PEPE, which translates to a cool $16 million, over to OKX.

Now, whether this is a real game-changer or just a cryptic rumor, we're all waiting on the edge of our virtual seats to see how this tale of signatures and PEPE millions unfolds.

Bitcoin transaction fees now less than a Big Mac?!

Amidst the ever-fluctuating Bitcoin transaction fee saga, a glimmer of stability seems to have emerged. Over the past couple of months, the cost of sending or receiving Bitcoin has managed to hang below the cost of sinking your teeth into a juicy Big Mac in the US. This newfound affordability and predictability offer a sigh of relief to users navigating the crypto waters.

Bitcoin's transaction fees embarked on a wild ride, peaking at an average of $31.14 on May 8, after initially pushing past the $5.00 threshold on May 2. But here's the twist - since then, it's been playing a bit more responsibly, cozying up around the $5.00 mark for over a month.

Interestingly, this $5.00 benchmark shares a spot with the Big Mac's price tag of $5.58. This burger-inspired connection isn't just about food cravings; it's rooted in the intriguing Big Mac Index. This quirky economic yardstick, pioneered by The Economist, compares purchasing power across the globe through the universal language of fast food.

Donald Trump NFTs soar in value after his mugshot is released

After a two-year Twitter hiatus, former President Donald Trump storms back online, declaring innocence and sharing his mugshot. Elon Musk and meme enthusiasts celebrate his flamboyant return. In a curious twist, Trump's interview with ex-FOX anchor Tucker Carlson went live concurrently with the GOP debate on Fox News.

Meanwhile, NFT markets witness a meteoric rise in trading volume as Trump's mugshot revelation reignites interest in all three NFT collections. For instance, the Trump Digital Trading Cards NFT sees a 42.3% surge in floor price to 0.195 ETH (around $322.35). The second edition of Trump's autobiographical NFTs, Trump Digital Cards Series 2, skyrockets by a staggering 3617% in trading volume, reaching 9.56 ETH (approximately $15,813.60).

However, the enigmatic Win Trump Prizes (TPRIZES) collection on Polygon PoS experiences a 38% jump but remains below $50 due to puzzling terms and conditions. Trump's NFT success underscores the celebrity-backed NFT trend, pocketing $4.9 million through a licensing deal with NFT INT LLC.

FTX user’s data may have been stolen! Are you affected?

A security mishap at Kroll, the bankruptcy claims handler for FTX crypto exchange, has exposed some user data. The ripples extended to BlockFi, another distressed crypto company, igniting fears about user information security. FTX swiftly addressed the situation, clarifying that user account passwords were not under Kroll's purview, and FTX's systems remained unscathed.

However, FTX warned rights holders to stay alert for potential scams and phishing emails masquerading as bankruptcy-related parties. Experts suggest vigilance, cautioning against interacting with redirected sites and refraining from establishing wallet connections through unsolicited emails. This incident serves as a reminder of the ever-present cybersecurity challenges in the crypto realm.
