LeBron James just added another title to his legacy with the release of his official Barbie Signature Kenbassador doll, becoming the first professional athlete to receive the honor. The figure drops April 23 for seventy five dollars and features , including a varsity jacket, Beats headphones, and a LeBron shirt. Meanwhile, the memecoin $LeBarbie surged to a $1.3m market cap as crypto traders reacted to LeGOAT’s news. Just a great guy man, so inspirational

CHICKEN JOCKEY🗣

Yo, Minecraft did over $300 Million in revenue their first weekend of their movie premier. And boy did Chicken Jockey run with those numbers. After doing nothing for the past few days, $JOCKEY quickly ran to a market cap of $7 Million, quite the bit aways up from $50 Thousand. Whenever backs are turned on the chicken jockey it somehow keeps creeping forward. $TECHNO is also interesting, referring to the minecraft youtuber who sadly passed away.

BITCOIN AND CHINA

Bitcoin’s reaction to escalating US-China trade tensions has been notably muted, despite President Trump’s implementation of a massive 104 percent tariff on Chinese goods and China's reciprocal 84 percent tariff on US imports. Bitcoin raise 1.6% to around $78k, lowering the weekly losses to 9.9%. Analysts point to macro volatility, forced liquidations, and long-term inflationary pressures stemming from fiat monetary policy as key forces shaping Bitcoin’s behavior. While short-term sentiment remains fragile, the growing narrative suggests that Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against systemic economic instability may solidify further if monetary expansion and debt accumulation continue unchecked. VanEck reports that Russia and China have initiated bilateral energy settlements using Bitcoin, bypassing traditional USD-denominated trade infrastructure such as SWIFT. This transition enhances transactional opacity, reduces sanction exposure, and signals a structural shift toward BTC as a sovereign-grade settlement layer within the evolving multipolar financial system.
