Coinbase將於週四列出Fartcoin，這可能會提供一些娛樂活動 - 如果不是點燃加密貨幣市場所需的供應能力。

Its heating is already threatened by another round of Trump-linked macro fears that could cool yesterday's lukewarm price action further.

它的暖氣已經受到另一輪與特朗普相關的宏觀恐懼的威脅，這種宏觀擔憂可能會進一步冷靜下來。

But on a more serious note, we'll also be looking out for the latest moves in the U.S. Congress on the cryptocurrency agenda.

但是，更嚴重的是，我們還將尋找美國國會關於加密貨幣議程的最新舉動。

本週早些時候，Gamestop透露，它在第二季度以1500萬美元的價格購買了580個比特幣，這增加了其在第一季度末舉行的488個比特幣。
