Crypto Today: August 11, 2025 – Market Surges, Regulatory Shakeups, and the Latest Altcoin Frenzy
Bitcoin smashes through $150K as institutional FOMO reaches fever pitch. Ethereum's Shanghai upgrade triggers a 20% staking unlock frenzy—bullish or reckless? Meanwhile, the SEC drops another enforcement hammer on a top-10 altcoin. (Surprise: it's not XRP this time.)
DeFi's TVL hits $500B despite 'yield farming' becoming a euphemism for 'hopeful gambling.' And in classic crypto fashion: a dog-themed memecoin with zero utility pumps 300% because a celebrity tweeted a paw emoji. Traders, start your engines—the circus is in town.
Bonus cynicism: 'Decentralized finance' still requires trusting anonymous devs who could rug-pull faster than a Wall Street banker at bonus season.'
