Alpha of the Day

Katherine Wu Steps Up as ENS Labs’ New COO

ENS Labs just got a fresh face in the office, and it's none other than Katherine Wu, who’s now the Chief Operating Officer. With Wu at the helm, the company is probably ready to make some bold moves in the Web3 space. So, whether you’re an ENS enthusiast or just here for the drama, it’s worth keeping an eye on how she steers this digital ship. Will she be the calm captain or the stormy sea? Only time—and a few spicy board meetings—will tell.

Parcl’s Website Under Siege?

If you were trying to visit Parcl’s official website and ended up wondering if your internet was powered by potatoes, you're not alone. It appears that the front end of their site is under some kind of attack. The details are still murky, but one thing’s for sure—someone’s throwing virtual rocks at their digital windows. Let’s hope they’ve got a good IT team and a really strong firewall. Maybe send them a virtual “get well soon” card while you’re at it.

Elon Musk’s Latest X Post: D.O.G.E. or Department of Government Efficiency?

Elon Musk is back at it again with his cryptic posts on the X platform, this time sharing an image with the letters "D.O.G.E." But wait—it’s not what you think. He’s jokingly dubbed it the “Department of Government Efficiency,” because why not mix a meme coin with bureaucratic humor? Whether it’s a subtle dig at something or just Musk being Musk, we’re all here for the laughs—and the endless speculation. Keep ‘em guessing, Elon.

Curve Founder Wants to Splash $6.37 Million CRV on Development

Curve’s founder must’ve found some spare change under the couch cushions because he’s proposed to give the Curve Development Company a whopping $6.37 million in CRV. It’s like handing your kid a fat allowance and hoping they don’t blow it all on candy. Whether this financial boost will lead to innovation or just a very luxurious coffee machine for the office remains to be seen. Either way, the Curve community is buzzing.

Metaplanet’s 500 Million Yen Bitcoin Splurge

Metaplanet, a Japanese listed company, just made another big splash in the crypto pool by spending 500 million yen to scoop up around 57.273 BTC. It's like they walked into a Bitcoin store with a shopping cart and said, "We’ll take the lot." Maybe they know something we don’t, or perhaps they just really love digital gold. Either way, this isn’t pocket change—it’s a serious bet on Bitcoin’s future.

Jupiter Sounds the Alarm on "BullChecker" Chrome Extension

Attention, Chrome users: Jupiter has identified a nasty little Chrome extension called "BullChecker" that’s up to no good. If you’ve got it installed, it’s time to hit delete faster than you can say “malware.” This extension isn’t checking any bulls; it’s just causing trouble. So, take a moment to check your browser and make sure you’re not unknowingly inviting any digital gremlins into your life.

Marathon Execs Have a Chat with the DNC

What happens when Bitcoin mining execs meet with the chairman of the U.S. Democratic National Committee? We don’t know all the details, but it sounds like the start of a wild joke—or maybe a plot twist in the next political drama. Earlier this month, Marathon’s top brass had a sit-down with the DNC’s chair, and while we can’t confirm what was discussed, it’s clear that crypto and politics are becoming more intertwined than ever. Stay tuned for what this could mean for the future of Bitcoin mining.

Ron Conway Bids Farewell to the Crypto Super PAC

Ron Conway, the big-time Democratic donor, has decided to exit the cryptocurrency super PAC scene. Maybe he’s seen enough, or perhaps he’s just moving on to his next big adventure. Either way, it’s a notable exit from a key player in the political-crypto crossover. As Conway leaves, the PAC is left to navigate the murky waters of crypto politics without one of its most influential backers. What’s next for the super PAC? Only time will tell.
