SEC seeks to appeal the decision that $XRP is not a security

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced in a court document on Wednesday that it would submit an "interlocutory appeal" of the judge's decision regarding Ripple's programmatic $XRP sales.

As other aspects of the SEC's case move toward trial, the SEC claimed it was asking for "leave to" appeal a portion of a recent ruling. The regulator claimed that granting an interlocutory appeal could avoid the need for two trials for the SEC and the government.

According to cryptocurrency attorney John Deaton, an appeal from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in its case against Ripple Labs does not create a threat to Ripple's recent legal victory.

In response to a statement made on Twitter, Deaton asserted that "an appeal is not even close to a setback."

Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. The Southern District Court had tentatively set a trial date for the second quarter of 2024 for the cases on which she had not rendered a decision during the motions for judgment.

DOGE payments coming to X?

Elon Musk Drops Hints About Exciting News About $DOGE Payments Coming To X As Dogecoin Aims for Record Highs.

Speculation about the payment system that could transform X into the Everything app, akin to WeChat, grew after Elon Musk rebranded Twitter as X. When it was first revealed that X would replace the bird logo, many believed Musk would accept Dogecoin as payment, which caused the price of the well-known meme coin to increase by 20%. This increase wasn't unexpected given Musk's well-known affinity for Dogecoin and the hints he left that its adoption was imminent.

At first, there were rumors that it might be possible to conduct transactions on X using cryptocurrencies, in particular Dogecoin. Since then, though, there have been no revisions or confirmations of these plans. In addition, recent information has come to light that might surprise and intrigue supporters of cryptocurrencies.

BASE mainnet is now open for everyone!

Over 100 dapps and service providers are now a part of the Base ecosystem, which has a public mainnet that has been launched by Coinbase.

According to Jesse Pollak, the lead for protocols at Coinbase, users can investigate these dapps and gain from lower transaction fees and quicker transaction speeds compared to Ethereum.

A roll-up network built on Optimisms IO Stack, the new network is supported by Coinbase. Yes, it is a scaling solution for how Ethereum will handle transactions. Its development will subsequently make it more affordable for dApps than some alternate options.

Base has integrated with a wide range of cryptocurrency projects since its developer-only release in July and the testnet launch in February, including DeFi protocols, wallets, bridges, oracles, and both analytics and infrastructure providers.

A new era of publicly traded companies managing their own distributed networks has begun, according to Coinbase (COIN), the major publicly traded U.S. cryptocurrency exchange.

Base was already available for developer testing, but Coinbase representatives announced that it would be available to the general public as of 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday, which is now in the past.

$MOONS token soars 72% after Kraken listing

By late Tuesday, $MOONS had a 72% gain on the price chart.

On August 7, Kraken listed the decentralized tokens for trading in spot and futures. While Moons is available for perpetual futures contracts, both Reddit coins can be exchanged for USD and EUR.

Redditors who post user-generated content on Reddit can earn Moons and Bricks as compensation. Their price is skyrocketing on the San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken since it recently listed them.

Billionaire wishes he purchased Bitcoin at $100

This billionaire wishes he had purchased Bitcoin at $100, but aren't we all in the same boat?

The American billionaire investor David Rubenstein said he wished he had bought the asset when it was only worth $100. Rubenstein has previously stated his support for bitcoin.

Given that BTC is currently worth almost $30,000, it seems like the majority of people would also like to go back in time and enter the ecosystem at that level. Warren Buffett, on the other hand, stated last year that he would not purchase "all of the bitcoin in the world for $25."

Meme Of The Day (MOTD)

We cannot turn back time. Just like Rubenstein we all regret not buying the dip.

Choose wisely, otherwise you might end up taking the L like old Rubey.
