details on which digital assets are supported would be nice… otherwise it’s hard to get excited.

crypto premiums and claims? wild to see insurance actually experimenting with this stuff.

at least story beats stay intact, but black bars always ruin immersion a little.

honestly kinda funny that switch 2 gets visual upgrades but also more censorship… can’t have everything i guess.

curious how much lock-in there will be… one mistake and you’re stuck with their stack.

basically trying to be the glue that holds all the ai dev stuff together… kinda needed tbh.

bruh so this skill is very useful

curious if this will actually attract more institutional investors or just scare them off with red tape.

15–20% ownership caps? that’s huge… big players are gonna have to rethink how they hold shares.

US crypto funds saw $1.8B in outflows last week, with BlackRock’s iShares ETF losing $951M, followed by Fidelity at $469M and Grayscale at $270M. Despite the broad pullback, some issuers like Volatility Shares and ProFunds recorded gains of $83M and $37M.

Short-Bitcoin ETPs saw small inflows of $500K, indicating persistent market caution. Overall, the week reflects sideways trading and a market still grappling with bearish sentiment, even as select altcoins buck the trend.

Last week, crypto investment products reversed course from strong inflows to one of the largest outflow weeks on record, with $1.73B pulled from crypto ETPs, the biggest since November 2025, according to CoinShares.

Bitcoin $87,950 and Ether $2,921 led withdrawals, totaling $1.72B combined, as investors reacted to dwindling hopes for interest rate cuts and negative market momentum. Some altcoins saw minor inflows—Solana $124.90 at $17.1M and Chainlink $11.96 at $3.8M—showing selective optimism.

Total assets under management in crypto funds dropped to $178B, down from $193B the previous week.

XRP has defended $1.78–$2 since Dec 2024, forming the base for a possible surge. Analysts note that previous cycles required extended accumulation at similar levels before a sharp breakout, sometimes lasting years.

CryptoBull notes: “The price pattern is copying the previous bull run… the only difference is time, which makes sense, as we need longer accumulation for higher prices.”

If momentum builds and XRP reclaims $2.22, the bullish thesis remains intact, potentially paving the way toward double-digit levels.

XRP’s consolidation around $1.80–$2 mirrors past cycles in 2017 and 2022, where sideways action lasted years before explosive gains. Analysts suggest the next wave could push XRP to $11, with a longer-term target of $70 if the pattern repeats.

Key onchain indicators support this thesis:

NUPL has entered “capitulation zone,” typical for cycle bottoms.

MVRV at 1.23 signals undervaluation vs past peaks of 14.73 (2017) and 3.9 (2021).

The takeaway: XRP may consolidate further, giving buyers a prime accumulation window before a potential bull run.

XRP $1.91 may have a path to $10, but history suggests an extended consolidation period could come first. Since holding $1.78–$2 support in Dec 2024, XRP has historically bounced 35%-90% on retests of this level.

Analysts like CryptoBull note that XRP is “preparing for liftoff,” mirroring previous bull cycles around prior all-time highs. Onchain data, including NUPL and MVRV metrics, point to undervaluation and reduced selling pressure, hinting at strong potential—but it’s a waiting game before a massive breakout.

Nintendo veteran Hideki Konno, famed for his work on Mario Kart, Yoshi’s Island, and Luigi’s Mansion, has quietly retired from the company after nearly four decades. Konno, who joined Nintendo in 1986 as an assistant director on Super Mario Bros. 2 & 3, played a pivotal role in shaping some of the studio’s most beloved franchises.

His departure, confirmed via his personal Facebook page, comes just after fellow Nintendo legend Kensuke Tanabe retired. With both Konno and Tanabe stepping away, Nintendo is entering a new era, leaning on younger talents to carry forward its iconic franchises. Fans will remember Konno for creating countless memories across Mario Kart’s many entries and the cult-classic Luigi’s Mansion series.

Nintendo may be losing two legends, but their legacy will live on in the games and experiences they helped build.

Laser Digital’s new Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund is designed to maintain Bitcoin positions while generating additional income through DeFi-driven, market-neutral strategies. The fund targets lower volatility and limited correlation with the broader crypto market, contrasting with Laser Digital’s 2023 Bitcoin Adoption Fund, which only provided directional exposure to BTC without yield generation.

Mohideen highlighted that recent market swings have increased institutional interest in yield-oriented investment products. BDYF aims to complement, not replace, traditional Bitcoin holdings, giving investors a way to earn income regardless of BTC’s short-term price movements.

Nomura’s digital asset arm, Laser Digital, is launching the Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund (BDYF), a new investment product aimed at institutional investors seeking returns beyond simple Bitcoin price exposure. Unlike traditional long-only Bitcoin funds, BDYF uses diversified, market-neutral strategies to generate yield while maintaining Bitcoin exposure.

The fund will be actively managed, with Kaio providing tokenization and Komainu serving as custodian. It’s exclusively available to institutional and accredited investors. According to CEO Jez Mohideen, the product responds to growing demand for yield-focused crypto funds, particularly in volatile markets, and represents a step forward in the evolution of crypto asset management.

Ubisoft has officially canceled the long-awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, originally announced in 2020. The project faced a rocky development path, including delays, studio changes from Ubisoft Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal, and repeated release date shifts.

On Twitter, Ubisoft acknowledged fan disappointment, stating the game had “real potential” but the team wasn’t able to reach the level of quality players deserve. The publisher added that continuing development would have required more time and investment than feasible.

Despite the cancellation, Ubisoft says the Prince of Persia franchise remains important, though the company will now focus more on open-world and live-service titles. The move comes after other setbacks for the series, including the rejection of a sequel to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Fans hoping for a revival of this classic franchise will have to wait even longer.

Fans of Pokémon GO may see a big update to Mega Raids, one of the game’s oldest endgame challenges. The rumored Link Charges currency could make it easier (or more premium) to participate in Mega Raids, including remotely.

The idea has sparked debate among the community: some players worry it could lock essential mechanics behind paywalls, while others are excited for a refresh of the Mega Raid system, which hasn’t changed significantly in years.

This update comes alongside Pokémon GO’s ongoing integration of new Mega Evolutions from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, including Mega Malamar and Mega Victreebel, hinting that Mega Raids could play a bigger role in upcoming in-game events like the GO Tour: Kalos.

Pokémon GO might be shaking up one of its most popular endgame features, Mega Raids, with the introduction of a new currency called Link Charges. According to prominent leaker The Pokemod Group, these items could replace traditional Raid Passes for entering Mega Raids, including Remote Raids.

The files suggest that Link Charges may be earned through Weekly Challenges, Campfire check-ins, or Gifts, though they could also be a premium in-game currency. Images of Link Charges in the files show multiple bundles that may soon appear in Pokémon GO’s shop.

The change is part of a broader focus on Mega Pokémon, likely tied to the recent release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the Mega Dimension DLC, which introduced over 40 new Mega Pokémon, including Mega forms of all three Kalos starters.
