Regardless, investors are reminded of the volatility and risks of the crypto market.”

“$BALD, a meme coin on Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, dropped 90% following rug-pull concerns. The incident emphasizes the risks of meme coins and demonstrates the importance of thorough contract examination using platforms like DEXTools to detect potential scams.”

“Tether recently disclosed a Q2 attestation, revealing a $3.3 billion jump in its excess reserves. Despite raising market concerns due to increasing U.S. Treasury bill holdings, Tether maintains 100% reserves for USDT tokens and continues growing financially. Transparency around reinvested profits becomes key to investor confidence.”
