Netflix Released ‘Heartstopper: Forever’ And No One Seems To Notice

At one point, Heartstopper was one of the most talked-about series on Netflix with sky-high critic scores for the show about a love story between two teens. Now? We have gotten to a point where the series finale of the show, which instead is a two-hour movie, came and went largely without a whisper.  That is Heartstopper: Forever, a film adapting the final graphic novel of the series, the movie being released a week ago on Netflix. But if you didnt know that, no one would blame you. The movie failed to chart on the US top 10 movie list at all, and was nowhere on the global chart. It briefly did well in the UK, but that was about it.  Its a strange ending for a show that boasts one of the highest critic and audience score combinations in Netflix history, a 98% and 95% on Rotten Tomatoes respectively across three full seasons. And Heartstopper definitely did have stellar viewership for a time.  It‘s not clear precisely why this decision was made back in 2025 to release the “final season” as a film instead. It’s possible that declining viewership led to Netflix questioning another full season, but not wanting to end such

Will Ripple Burn 32 Billion XRP In Escrow? Crypto Pundit Unleashes The Truth Behind FUD

Fears of Ripple burning its approximately 32 billion of XRP that is currently held in escrow have surfaced again in the crypto community. However, crypto commentator and Digital Ascension Group Chairman Jake Claver says thats not possible as of now. He said that since the XRP Ledger is based on decentralized validator consensus, which could save the XRP in escrow from any kind of burn activities.

Meanwhile, theres approximately 67.53 billion XRP in circulation, and the total supply of XRP on the XRP Ledger is set at 100 billion.

In response to the rumors swirling around X, Claver wrote, “‘Will Ripple just burn the escrow?’ They cant.” He said that Ripple operates three out of 35 trusted validators, while any change to the protocol needs to get 80% of the validators to agree.  ‘Will Ripple just burn the escrow?’ They cant. Ripple runs 3 of 35

Cardano Founder Blasts Ark Invest Directors Bias Over Criticism

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson addressed criticism from Director of Research of the Digital Asset team at Ark Invest, Lorenzo Valente, in an X post.  Valente, in an X post, had questioned why Cardano continues to receive industry attention, criticizing its continued prominence in the space. He claimed that the crypto sector undermined its own credibility by continuing to invite Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson to conferences, accepting sponsorships, and featuring Cardano in podcasts.  “It‘s 2026, and we’re still talking about Cardano. Were still inviting Charles to conferences, treating Cardano as newsworthy, accepting its sponsorship money, and giving it airtime on podcasts. Then we wonder why this industry struggles for credibility. We deserve the reputation we have. No serious industry keeps rewarding irrelevance like this,” Valente wrote.

Triple-A Hot Wallets Drained of $9.7 Million Across Six Chains: Heres What Peckshield Found

Key TakeawaysTriple-A lost over $9.7 million from hot wallets across six chains, per Peckshield.The attacker bridged proceeds to Ethereum, consolidating roughly 5,227 ETH in one address.Triple-A had issued no public statement more than eight hours after the breach was flagged.  Onchain Investigator Flags the Breach First  Onchain investigator Specter first reported the incident. According to a Peckshield alert published Saturday, wallets tied to Triple-A, a Singapore-based fiat-to-crypto payment gateway, had been drained of funds across Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana and The Open Network (TON).  Triple-A operates payment infrastructure that lets merchants accept cryptocurrency and settle in fiat currency, meaning its hot wallets hold a rotating pool of customer funds and liquid stablecoins to process transactions quickly. Hot wallets stay connected to the internet for speed, a tradeoff that makes them more exposed than offline cold storage.  Onchain data reviewed by security researchers shows the attacker swapped stolen stablecoins and other liquid assets on decentralized exchanges before bridging the proceeds to Ethereum. The funds landed in a single address beginning with 0x01F8, which held roughly 5,227 ETH, worth about $9.7 million, as of Saturday.  Image source: X  The consolidated wallet received the stolen assets in several tranches rather than one lump transfer, a move that is

Crypto ETF Recap: Ethereum Still Outpaces Bitcoin, but Cracks Are Emerging

Over $100 million entered the funds tracking the altcoin in the past week.  The spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds ended their third consecutive week in the green, but momentum faded at the end of it.  In the meantime, the funds tracking Ethereum continue to outperform, gaining over $100 million as the underlying asset challenged the $1,950 level.  BTC ETFs Still in the Green but…  The funds tracking the market leader were in a tough spot for weeks. Eight, to be precise. In this streak that began in mid-May and felt it went on for eternity, they saw over $8 billion withdrawn from investors, with the total net inflows going down from over $59.34 billion to $51.08 billion on July 2.  However, investors finally changed their tune at this point and broke this negative trend during the first full week of July, inserting nearly $200 million. Another $75.67 million followed during the subsequent week, and the one that just ended began on a high note. In fact, the actual net inflows stood at approximately $1 billion during the seven consecutive green days – from July 14 until July 22.  This coincided (or propelled) with bitcoins price rally that drove the asset to $67,000 on Wednesday for the first

Licensed Web3 Casinos and What Recourse a Player Has

A withdrawal has been pending for nine days. Support sends the same templated reply each time. The site carries a licence badge in the footer. What, concretely, can you do about it?  That question gets less attention than it deserves, because most licensing coverage stops at whether a badge exists.

Binance Data Shows How Crypto is Using AI Stocks to Attract Gen Z Investors

Nvidia (NVDA) is the most common first stock trade among the youngest and smallest equity accounts on Binance. The stock took 20% of first trades, according to a Binance Research report.  The finding covers a segment that Binance labels Next Gen Users. These are Gen Z customers in emerging markets holding under $2,000 in equity assets under management.  Semiconductor Stocks Dominate the First Trade List  Micron Technology (MU) ranks second at 8%, according to the report. Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), and the Nasdaq-100 exchange-traded fund (ETF) appear further down the list.  “Across the wider equity base, the same discipline is visible at portfolio level: users allocate roughly 60% of equity holdings to Information Technology and Communication Services, with around 26% concentrated in semiconductors, a thematically coherent tilt toward the artificial-intelligence complex rather than scattered speculation,” Binance Research noted.  Most Common First Stock Trades on Binance Among Gen Z Users. Source: Binance Research  The report noted that Next Gen Users make up 13% of Binance Direct Stocks customers. Gen Z as a whole accounts for 44%, the largest single cohort on the product.  Geography narrows the picture further. Binance Research highlighted that 95% of Gen Z traditional finance (TradFi) users are in emerging markets. Every other generation on
