Ethereum has come a long way since it first introduced smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) to the blockchain world. But with popularity comes pressure—network congestion, painfully high gas fees, and slower transaction times.

Introduction to Optimism Optimism is an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution designed to…

Memecoin-focused blockchain MemeCore launched a rewards program with a special focus on screening out bots. Memecoin season is in full swing, and platforms are looking to capitalize. On Friday, June 27, MemeX, a memecoin launchpad on the MemeCore blockchain, launched a viral campaign to reward its users, but also to highlight the problems with AI in blockchain. In particular, MemeX will distribute $700,000 in rewards to its users, with close attention to screening out bots. For this reason, they rolled out a tongue-in-cheek verification system called Proof of Sh*t. The idea behind it is simple: bots can’t fake bodily functions. Finally.…

The crypto revolution began in 2009 with Bitcoin, and it has reached unprecedented heights with the cryptocurrency leading the charge. However, the tides are changing, and Bitcoin’s role in the future of the industry is being debated.  Should legitimacy come from nations and institutions holding Bitcoin in their reserves? Or does crypto need robust regulations to earn mainstream acceptance? Some argue that Bitcoin reserves signal trust and stability. Others insist that without clear legal frameworks, crypto will remain volatile and misunderstood. The real question may not be which approach is better, but whether both are necessary for crypto’s long-term credibility.…

The Pepe price remains in a bear market after crashing by over 43% from its peak in March. Pepe Coin (PEPE) has fallen to a low of $0.0000090, bringing its market capitalization to approximately $3.86 billion, down from its all-time high of $10 billion. The decline follows broader weakness in the cryptocurrency market, with most altcoins experiencing significant pullbacks. Ethereum (ETH) has dropped to $2,435 from a monthly high of $2,800, while the total market capitalization of all crypto tokens has slipped to $3.28 trillion.

Bad actors managed to siphon roughly $2.1 billion worth of crypto across 75 incidents in the first half of 2025. According to a report by blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, the majority of these losses stemmed from infrastructure attacks that targeted the technical backbone of crypto systems.

On average, such attacks yielded 10 times more in value than other methods. TRM Labs noted that the largest incident so far this year was the $1.5 billion breach of Dubai-based crypto…

Altcoins are leading the shift, with rising realized cap growth pointing to a rotation toward real utility. If Ethereum and DOGE no longer dominate capital inflows, is altseason rewriting its core narrative? While Bitcoin’s [BTC] potential for new all-time highs, the Fed’s rate trajectory, and Trump’s tariff rhetoric remain key macro variables, one thing appears increasingly clear: A full-scale altcoin season hasn’t yet materialized. Still, there’s an interesting split happening under the surface. Some altcoins are attracting fresh inflows, while others are seeing major drop-offs. AMBCrypto believes that it’s a subtle shift, but it might be telling us something important…
