🌶️ CryptoCurated — Week 71 — Receipts > vibes. Execution > narratives.
Weekly Price Updates (~11:45pm CT)
🟠 Bitcoin (BTC)
$90,938
+2.6% (7D)
Bitcoin chopped, tested patience, and reminded everyone why it’s still the collateral of truth.
While alt timelines scream, BTC quietly absorbed macro chaos — including fresh QE talk 👀.
🧠 Context:
The macro backdrop matters this week. Reports of Trump directing GSEs to purchase $200B in mortgage bonds signals QE-by-any-other-name — and BTC continues to behave exactly like a hedge against policy improvisation.
➡️ Hard asset stays hard.
🟣 Solana (SOL)
$139.53
+9.7% (7D)
SOL wasn’t just green — it was institutionally validated.
📈 From the curated vault:
This isn’t meme momentum.
This is balance-sheet conviction
🟢 THORChain (RUNE)
$0.589
+2.9% (7D)
RUNE held steady while cross-chain quietly leveled up.
🔧 Highlights:
LeoKit / LeoDex live — monetized cross-chain swaps via a single API
Infrastructure expanding while price chops = builders don’t flinch
Meanwhile… 👀
⚠️ Security reminder:
The CoinTelegraph report on hundreds of EVM wallets drained (linked to the Trust Wallet browser extension) reinforces a core thesis:
Cross-chain isn’t the risk.
Bad key management and extensions are.
THORChain rails kept moving.
🚨 Security Reality Check (Important)

Binance/Trust Wallet reimbursing users
Insider knowledge suspected
🧂 Lesson:
Security UX still matters more than shiny features.
Cold storage, permission hygiene, and skepticism remain undefeated.
