Solana CEO Anatoly Yakovenko has managed to dodge nine attempts to serve him a Pump Fun lawsuit accusing him of playing a part in the memecoin platform’s fraudulent casino enterprise. Law firms Burwick Law and Wolf Popper recently filed an amended lawsuit naming crypto firms Solana and Jito, along with various executives, as defendants in their case against Pump Fun. They began serving defendants last week, including both Solana Labs and Jito Labs. However, after repeated “diligent efforts,” the firms failed to serve Yakovenko, fellow Solana co-founder Raj Gokal, Solana Foundation President Lily Liu, Jito CEO and COO Lucas Bruder, and Brian Smith. They were also unable to serve the Jito Foundation itself .  Yakovenko, who lives in a luxury apartment in San Francisco, dodged three attempts to serve him on August 5. Burwick Law claims they were unsuccessful “due to the secured nature of the building, and lack of response.” Burwick says Solana and Jito ‘co-consp...

US President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order that will open the $8.7 trillion 401(k) retirement fund market to crypto and other alternative assets.  Signed yesterday, the order instructs federal agencies, including the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Labor Department, to redefine what would be considered a qualified asset under 401(k) rules.  New Trump Order Opens Up Higher-Risk Investment Options Until now, 401(k) investors have only been able to build exposure mainly to stocks and bonds, while some funds also offer cash options or the choice to invest in heavily-traded commodities such as gold.  That’s due to the fact that US employers are restricted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to only offer investment options that are in the interest of employees, not Wall Street. TRUMP allowing retirement accounts to save Bitcoin is big news. Great President…great leader. Are you saving Bitcoin? ...

The price of the Ethereum Ether cryptocurrency (ETH) is steadying above the $3,600 mark, sparking optimism amongst analysts. Inflows for Ether ETFs and several big whale moves have shifted momentum around the asset back and forth. As a result, Ethereum is up as much as 50% in the last 30 days and is poised to go higher. Forecasts for the asset are higher, and one analyst projects a new ATH before 2025 is over. Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen recently discussed Ethereum’s near-term future, forecasting a new all-time high. He says Ethereum recently met his previous criteria of forming a higher macro low, therefore setting it up for an eventual push to new highs. “For a long time, my bias was that it made sense to fade Ethereum because it was going to bleed against Bitcoin, and it needed to go home. It needed to form a higher low. Now, that’s happened. So, what is my bias now, right? Well, my bias now is that it will make new all-time highs and I’m going to say no later than December....

XRP surged more than 5% early Monday, leading a rebound in crypto majors as both digital assets and stock futures recovered from last week’s steep selloff. The rally comes despite lingering market jitters from Friday’s weaker-than-expected US jobs report and renewed trade uncertainty tied to fresh tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump.

Blockchain company Ripple moved 700 million XRP, valued at over $2 billion, on August 2 through a series of high-volume escrow transactions. The transfers occurred in three tranches, including 100 million XRP, 500 million XRP, and another 100 million XRP. Each was subsequently re-locked into escrow, according to on-chain data shared by blockchain tracker Whale Alert. These movements align with Ripple’s long-standing strategy to manage XRP’s circulating supply and form part of its broader monthly 1 billion XRP unlock process. Before the escrow actions, Whale Alert also flagged two separate transfers, 200 million and 300 million XRP, from unidentified wallets to Ripple, indicating internal repositioning likely tied to the monthly release mechanism.
