Happy Wednesday, crypto enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving into the latest buzz in the Web3 world. From Bitcoin's impressive surge to $67K as Tesla shifts a staggering $760 million in BTC, to Canary Capital's ambitious plans for a Litecoin ETF following their XRP strategy, the market is buzzing with activity. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is back in the crypto spotlight, promoting a new token despite lukewarm sales. And if that wasn’t enough, an AI bot has taken the meme coin scene by storm, boosting one token’s value by an astonishing 7,000% after receiving a generous donation from tech titan Marc Andreessen. Let’s explore these exciting developments!
1. Bitcoin surges to $67K as Tesla shifts $760M in BTC 💰
Bitcoin surged to $67,692 as Tesla made waves by moving $760 million worth of BTC from its public wallet for the first time in two years. This price jump, along with a 20% spike in trading volume to $49.1 billion, brings BTC closer to its all-time high of $73,750. Tesla executed multiple transactions in quick succession, transferring large sums to anonymous wallets, with the largest being $102.36 million in a single move. Now, Tesla holds just $8.08 worth of Bitcoin, and Elon Musk remains silent on the intent behind these shifts.

2. Canary Capital eyes Litecoin ETF post-XRP move 📊
Canary Capital is launching a Litecoin-focused ETF, following its recent XRP product filing. The proposed ETF will track LTC’s value based on the CoinDesk Litecoin Price Index. With Litecoin’s 13-year history and reputation for 100% uptime, Canary aims to attract institutional investors. However, the SEC’s approval is required before the ETF can launch, and regulators have been cautious with products outside Bitcoin and Ethereum. While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have gained approval this year, the lack of futures markets for LTC, XRP, and SOL may pose challenges. Still, Canary remains optimistic about a more flexible regulatory environment for crypto ETFs.

3. Trump promotes crypto token despite slow sales 🧧
Donald Trump promoted World Liberty Financial’s new WLFI crypto token on X after its public sale raised only $9 million, far below the $300 million target. The token sale, which launched Tuesday, faced multiple website crashes, impacting purchase volume. WLFI acts as a governance token for the platform, allowing users to engage in DeFi activities such as lending, borrowing, and liquidity pools. Despite Trump’s endorsement, over 540 million tokens were already bought before his post. The platform aims to expand DeFi participation, but early challenges raise questions about its long-term momentum.

4. AI bot pumps meme coin 7,000% after $50K gift from Marc Andreessen 🎁
A recent surge in meme coins, particularly Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), showcases the intersection of AI and cryptocurrency. The token skyrocketed by over 8,000% after Marc Andreessen gifted $50,000 worth of Bitcoin to the AI bot Terminal of Truths. Launched just five days ago, GOAT achieved a market cap of $214 million, turning over between $13 million and $77 million in daily trading volume. Although the AI bot didn't launch the token, its endorsements and social media presence significantly contributed to the hype. This trend highlights the growing influence of digital memes in speculative financial activities.
