Crypto Prices Rise After Fed Interest Rate Cut, Market Sees New Optimism as Meme Coins like Memebet and ICOs Benefit
The crypto market has flipped bullish this week.

Investors are bullish about yesterday’s interest rate cuts and the chance of a new bull run, so altcoins and meme tokens are in high demand.

Crypto Market Flips Green After Fed Rate Decision

Things are finally looking up for crypto traders.

Yesterday afternoon, the Fed finally cut interest rates for the first time since March 2020.

Naturally, this went down a treat with crypto investors.

Lower interest rates are positive for crypto since they force investors to look at alternative assets for higher returns.

Altcoins and meme coins often benefit most from this shift.

Many of these coins are already reaping the rewards, with Ethereum and Solana up 5% and 7%, respectively.

Avalanche has been one of the biggest gainers with a 12% rise.

Meme coins have seen an outsized benefit, and spot trading volumes have rocketed past $5.3 billion since yesterday.

Top coins like DogWifHat and Popcat have posted double-digit gains.

And with the momentum showing no signs of slowing down, many investors are already curious about which ICO tokens could rally next.

Memebet Casino – Where Meme Coins Meet Gambling

One ICO project that has come onto investors’ radars is Memebet.

Imagine being able to use your DOGE holdings at the blackjack table.

That’s precisely what the Memebet will offer.

This new project in the crypto gambling space is letting you bet with your favorite meme coins.

There is no need to swap for Bitcoin or Ethereum – tokens like PEPE and SHIB are accepted here.

But it’s not just about the cryptos that Memebet Casino accepts.

The team is also rolling out a full-scale gambling experience, from slot machines to a comprehensive sportsbook.

And all of this will be available through the Telegram app.

This setup means you don’t need to complete a KYC process, allowing you to jump into action right away.

Plus, the team even has a huge airdrop campaign underway.

The more you play on the Memebet casino, the more MEMEBET tokens you can earn.

It’s like getting paid to play your favorite games.

All of these features are wrapped in a meme-style aesthetic.

This provides a hilarious gambling experience that no other GambleFi project can match.

MEMEBET Token ICO Heats Up & Nears $250,000 Funding Milestone

The MEMEBET token ICO is on a hot streak.

It has pulled in nearly $250,000 in under 10 days – that’s around $25,000 every day.

Not bad for a new meme-themed project.

Those interested in getting involved can buy MEMEBET tokens for $0.0252 each during the current stage.

However, that price will jump in less than 48 hours when the next stage begins.

Purchasing tokens is easy.

All that’s required is a crypto wallet (like MetaMask) and some ETH, USDT, BNB, or MATIC.
Memebet’s team even accepts credit/debit card payments.

So, what’s next after the ICO ends?

The team is keeping most details under wraps, but rumor has it they’re aiming for a DEX listing later this year.

According to Memebet’s whitepaper, 10% of the total supply has been set aside for DEX liquidity.

This tactic makes it easier for traders to buy and sell the MEMEBET token.

And with a further 20% of the supply reserved for casino rewards, the team is serious about rewarding its users.

Memebet Team Scores Big with Argentina Partnership & Social Media Buzz

Memebet’s team isn’t playing around – they’ve also teamed up with Argentina’s national soccer team.

That’s a massive deal in the sports world.

It’s a clever strategy that’s bound to attract attention.

But that’s not all.

The team is also planning to launch Lootboxes, which are like mystery bags of perks for high rollers.

Real-world merchandise, casino freebies, bonuses – all of these are potential prizes.

Details are still being ironed out, but the excitement is building.

Bitcoin Rockets to $63.8K: $6.36B in BTC Pulled From Exchanges in 30 Days
On Thursday, bitcoin (BTC) soared to a peak of $63,882, marking a 7.8% increase against the U.S. dollar over the past month. During this same period, approximately $6.36 billion worth of BTC was pulled from crypto exchanges, hitting levels not seen since early November 2018.

More Than 100,000 Bitcoin Removed From Digital Currency Trading Platforms in 30 Days
Bitcoin is making strides as the week wraps up, following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate cut on Wednesday. The price hit an intraday peak of $63,882 per coin, its highest point since Aug. 26, 2024. Over the past month, bitcoin has performed impressively, climbing 7.8% and leaving gold’s 3.5% gain in the dust.
Additionally, on Aug. 19, 2.68 million bitcoins were stored on centralized exchanges, but today that figure has dropped by 100,250 BTC. According to insights from cryptoquant.com, exchanges now hold 2.58 million BTC, a level not seen since early November 2018.
This reduced BTC supply on trading platforms suggests less selling pressure and contributes to its growing scarcity. Meanwhile, since Aug. 19, 2024, a slight increase in Ethereum (ETH) holdings was observed, rising from 18.79 million to the current 18.86 million.
However, Ethereum reserves on centralized exchanges are dwindling fast, with the current 18.86 million marking a low not seen since July 2016. This translates to around $44.48 billion worth of Ethereum. At press time, exchanges also hold an impressive $163.84 billion in bitcoin. This means trading platforms possess 13.11% of BTC’s market cap, while ethereum held on exchanges accounts for 15.03% of its total valuation.

Britain’s local governments are at ‘serious’ risk of ‘widespread collapse’

Local governments across England, Scotland and Wales face a ÂŁ4.3 billion ($5.6 billion) hole in their finances in the coming year, according to a new report. That could force cuts to jobs and vital services, such as rubbish collection.

In a paper Monday, Unison, the United Kingdom’s largest trade union, warned that, without additional emergency funding to plug the projected shortfall in the 2025-26 financial year, “there is a serious risk of the widespread collapse of local government.”

The funding gap facing local councils is projected to balloon to £8.5 billion ($11.1 billion) the following year, according to the report, which is based on publicly available financial statements and some councils’ own estimates of their funding shortfalls provided to Unison.

The report comes as the UK’s recently elected Labour government prepares to unveil plans for local government funding in its first budget next month, after revealing a £22 billion ($29 billion) “black hole” in the nation’s finances in July.

Unison said many local government authorities could be forced to sell land and buildings, as well as cut back on services, such as rubbish collection, libraries and public toilets to fulfil a legal duty to balance their books.

In a speech last month, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that the budget “is going to be painful,” hinting at tax rises. “We’re going to have to take tough decisions,” he said.
Many of Britain’s local governments have faced chronic funding shortfalls over the past decade, partly as a result of deep cuts to funds from the central government in the 2010s.

After accounting for inflation, English councils have lost 9% in “core funding” — made up of funds from the central government and local taxes — between 2010 and this year, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). That amounts to a cut of 18% per resident as populations have grown.

Birmingham, the biggest British city after London, effectively declared itself bankrupt a year ago, halting all spending except on essential services.

In March, the city’s council approved “one of the biggest local government cuts packages in history,” according to Unison, “including plans to scrap up to 600 jobs, slash social care and children’s services funding, and reduce waste collections.”

Unison noted that since 2018, eight councils have issued so-called section 114 notices, meaning they are effectively bankrupt.

“Councils are teetering on the brink of financial disaster,” Unison general secretary Christina McAnea said in a statement. “Countless essential services and very many vital jobs are at risk, with terrible consequences for communities across Britain… After 14 years of ruthless austerity, the very fabric of local society is under threat.”

Between 2010 and 2023, councils closed some 1,243 youth centers and 1,168 children’s centers — community centers that provide free classes and services to young people and families. The number of public toilets dropped by 1,629 over the same period, and the number of council-run libraries fell by 1,376, according to Unison.
Giving examples of further cuts to come, Unison said Shropshire Council in the West Midlands region of England plans to slashup to 540 jobs.

Derbyshire County Council in the East Midlands has proposed closing up to 11 elderly care homes, while Hampshire County Council in the southeast of England has proposed withdrawing all spending on support for the homeless from March next year, Unison added.

In a statement Monday, a UK government spokesperson said the government would “fix the foundations of local government.”

“We will get councils back on their feet by getting the basics right — providing more stability through multi-year funding settlements, ending competitive bidding for pots of money and reforming the local audit system,” the spokesperson added.

IFS associate director David Phillips, who leads research on local government finance at the institute, cautioned that the way councils calculate future funding requirements and hence gaps was “opaque” and likely to differ across authorities

The iPhone 16 is set to make its debut at Apple’s big event today

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 16 Monday. Although the new phone will probably get a few small upgrades on the outside, Apple is betting that significant changes to what’s on the inside will excite customers who haven’t been given a convincing reason to upgrade in years.

The company is set to introduce the first lineup of iPhones purpose-built for generative artificial intelligence (which lets users create text and images) during its annual hardware event, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.

The event was teased with the cryptic motto of “it’s glow time,” and Apple is staying mum thus far on what it means.

Apple faces immense pressure ahead of the event to prove the new AI features and other iPhone 16 updates are worth shelling out for an upgrade. Apple also needs to convince investors that it hasn’t fallen behind in the AI arms race, as rivals have already released similar features with the new technology.

Since the launch of the iPhone 12 with 5G connectivity in 2020, the company has given customers few reasons to buy the latest generation. Phone cameras have largely advanced to the point where they’re sufficient for most people’s day-to-day needs without major hardware changes, and at some point the human eye isn’t even capable of perceiving higher screen resolutions.

As a result, iPhone sales, which make up half of the company’s revenue, have been sluggish.
The company’s shares had been relatively stagnant, too, until the Apple Intelligence unveiling, a sign that investors are counting on AI to convince people to buy new iPhones. Apple’s stock is up 14% since the June 10 event, and nearly 18% since the start of this year.

If Apple delivers, it could cash in – roughly 300 million iPhones worldwide have not been upgraded in more than four years, according to a research note from analyst Dan Ives of investment firm Wedbush last month.

So, while Apple will likely highlight changes to various products and services like AirPods or, even Apple TV+ on Monday, “everything is about the iPhone upgrade cycle. Everything else is subplot,” D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria told CNN.

Subplot or main character, here is everything we’re expecting from the Apple event.

The AI iPhone
The company has already hinted at some of the things Apple Intelligence will be able to do: it will enable more natural conversations with Siri, help draft emails, make it easier to find specific moments in your photo albums and incorporate users’ personal information into its responses. The company’s task on Monday will be to show iPhone users what that will look in real life.

“Expect to see demos about how, within your text chain, you can get summaries,” Luria said. “You’ll know why did Tiffany M have beef with Tiffany R, and you’ll be able to ask that within the chat and get a response. Those are the kinds of things that will get people excited … to show some concrete examples of how folks will be able to use Apple Intelligence to do things they weren’t previously able to do.”

And while it’s not unusual for new iPhones to get an updated processor chip, that change may be especially important this year to ensure the iPhone 16 can handle the increased data processing needs that will come with the new AI features without compromising battery life.

Luria added that he thinks there could also be a subtle change to the appearance of the iPhone, such as a wider screen or updated edges, “to drive home the point of an upgrade cycle.”
“Something distinct about the new iPhones that will communicate to consumers that, ‘I have the new iPhone and you don’t,’ which was not the case for the last four years,” he said.

The iPhone 16 is also set to feature a dedicated camera button, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

The big question: price?
A major question heading into Monday’s event is how Apple will price the iPhone 16 lineup. For the last four years, the starting price at launch for the new iPhones was $799.

Apple enthusiasts have debated for years whether iPhone models should be cheaper, while investors would prefer maximum profit.

Many analysts, including CFRA Research’s Angelo Zino, say Apple could modestly raise prices “across the board” for the iPhone lineup because of the new AI features and the cost to the company of delivering them.

However, it almost certainly won’t be a major hike because “they don’t want to lose the (customer) enthusiasm because of sticker shock,” Luria said.

Other devices
Rumor has it that Apple may also announce updates to the Apple Watch and AirPods.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to be thinner than its predecessors but with a larger screen, and the company is also set to roll out new low-end and mid-tier AirPod offerings, Gurman reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the situation.

Those updates would follow new software offerings for both devices that Apple announced at its annual developers conference in June.

AirPods users will be able to answer or decline a call with just a nod or shake of their head. And new vital sign tracking on Apple Watch can notify users when they may be getting sick, based on signals like body temperature and heart rate.

Airstrikes hit Syrian facility that West alleged produced chemical weapons, eyewitness says
Alleged Israeli airstrikes in central Syria on Sunday night struck a facility claimed by the West to have produced chemical weapons, according to a local resident.

The strikes killed at least 16 people and injured 36 others, six of whom are in critical condition, state-run Syrian news agency SANA reported Monday. It said there had been several explosions in the central Tartous and Hama governorates, including in the Masyaf countryside.

A Masyaf resident, who requested anonymity for security reasons, described to CNN hearing several explosions late Sunday night.
About half an hour before midnight, multiple airstrikes targeted the Syrian Military Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC) and several nearby buildings. I heard at least eight explosions, followed by the sound of ambulances,” the resident said.

Western governments sanctioned a number of officials working at the SSRC in 2017 for their alleged involvement in a Syrian government project to make and deploy the deadly sarin chemical agent.

About 30 minutes after the initial barrage, the witness said they heard more explosions. Neighbors told the resident that at least four civilians, including three members of the same family, were killed in the airstrikes.
When asked by CNN about the incident, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it does not comment “on reports in the foreign media.”

The resident also said they witnessed the aftermath of the strike while crossing Al-Waraqqa highway, noting two destroyed cars and an overturned, damaged bobcat vehicle.

The director of health in Hama, Dr. Maher Al-Younes, told SANA that the strikes on the Masyaf countryside had killed at least 16 people and injured 36 others, with six of those in critical condition.

The Syrian news agency cited a military source as saying “the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of northwest Lebanon, targeting a number of military sites in the central region” shortly before 8.30 p.m. local time on Sunday.
The source said Syrian air defenses had intercepted and shot down some of the missiles.

SANA said the strikes had damaged the Wadi al-Uyun highway in Masyaf and caused a blaze that firefighters were working to control.

Western intelligence agencies have previously claimed that a branch of the SSRC and surrounding buildings near Masyaf was used to produce chemical weapons, violating the Chemical Weapons Convention.

In 2017 the US Treasury sanctioned 271 Syrian scientific studies and research center staff in response to a sarin attack on Khan Sheikhoun in northwest Syria.

The US Treasury at the time said these SSRC employees had expertise in chemistry and related disciplines and/or worked in support of SSRC’s chemical weapons program since at least 2012.

The Syrian government has denied the allegation. However, the facility was reportedly targeted by a suspected Israeli strike in September 2017, a day after a chemical attack on a rebel-held town in northern Syria, which the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons attributed to the Syrian air force.

When he was Israeli defense minister in 2022, Benny Gantz said that: “Under the vision of (former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force commander) Qasem Soleimani, Iran transformed CERS (SSRC) into production facilities for mid- and long-range precise missiles and weapons, provided to Hezbollah and Iranian proxies. In other words, it became yet another Iranian front – a factory for advanced, strategic weapons.”

“These sites, particularly the underground facility at Masyaf, host significant threats to the region and to the State of Israel,” Gantz added. “Masyaf, specifically, is used to produce advanced missiles.” It has been hit several times by the Israeli Air Force.

Israel has launched airstrikes in Syria intermittently since Hamas’ October 7 attacks last year – and Israel’s ensuing war against the militant group in Gaza – dramatically escalated tensions in the region, and sparked daily exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah across the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Hezbollah, which has attacked Israel in solidarity with Hamas, has maintained a strong presence in Syria since the 2011 Arab Spring protests, which in some parts of the Middle East spiraled into proxy wars. The Lebanese militant group was an active participant, fighting alongside Iran-aligned forces in Syria and on behalf of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, who brutally quashed the opposition.

In June, an Israeli airstrike near Aleppo killed an Iranian military adviser, Iranian media reported at the time.

And in April, Israel’s bombing of Iran’s embassy complex in Syria sparked a major confrontation between Iran and Israeli, bringing the Middle East to the brink of all-out war.

Trump warms up for debate by threatening to jail election officials
Donald Trump limbered up for his debate with Kamala Harris by showing the extremism that risks playing into the vice president’s claim that he’s an “unserious man” who is an “extremely serious” threat if he’s returned to the White House.
Trump warned he will jail election officials he considers cheats; is complaining Pennsylvania’s voting is a fraud; vowed to pardon January 6 rioters; railed against women who accused him of sexual misconduct; and spent hours in recent days on sometimes incoherent rants that raised questions about his state of mind.

But new polling ahead of Tuesday’s showdown in Philadelphia shows the race tied up nationally, suggesting Harris’ momentum after replacing President Joe Biden on the ticket hasn’t resulted in a commanding edge.

The tightness of the contest shows both Trump’s enduring appeal to tens of millions of Americans as he seeks a political comeback and the huge task facing Harris as she tries to save an election Democrats seemed doomed to lose before Biden bowed out.

That makes Tuesday’s debate — the first since June’s consequential clash on CNN that eventually ended Biden’s campaign — the most critical scheduled event before Election Day.

Why Harris needs ‘superhuman focus’ in facing Trump
The way each candidate is preparing highlights the different paths Americans can choose in November and the sharp contrast in the style of the presidency that will ensue if Harris or Trump are at the Oval Office desk.
Harris is holed up in Pittsburgh with staff to hone her skills for the test of facing Trump in a debate. Her choice of Pennsylvania for prep stresses the critical importance of a state she almost certainly needs to win to take the presidency. A source told CNN that her advisers are working out how she’ll deal with a rule that a candidate’s mic will be muted while their rival speaks. The vice president had pushed to overturn the restriction in the hope she could use her skills as a former prosecutor to dress down Trump in real time. But she told reporters, “I’m ready,” as she went for a stroll in the Steel City on Sunday with her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg reflected on Harris’ challenge as she tries to engage Americans who want to know more about her while dealing with a sometimes-unhinged force of nature like Trump. “It will take almost superhuman focus and discipline to deal with Donald Trump in a debate,” Buttigieg said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “It’s no ordinary proposition, not because Donald Trump is a master of explaining policy ideas and how they’re going to make people better off. It’s because he’s a master of taking any form or format that is on television and turning it into a show that is all about him.”

A New York Times/Siena College poll published Sunday showed that 28% of likely voters need to know more about Harris, as opposed to just 9% who say the same of her rival. This presents possible room for growth for the vice president. But she is also facing pressure to explain policy reversals on issues such as immigration and fracking while showing more precision than she did in some testy interviews early in her vice presidency. And her unwillingness to submit to major media interviews — apart from one last month on CNN — means that a candidate who has sometimes struggled to articulate coherent arguments in high-pressure and spontaneous situations is coming into the debate without much recent experience of adversarial political combat.

Trump is still struggling to stick to the GOP script

Defendant and Wife Allegedly Conspired to Provide Services to and Receive and Launder Over $1 Million from Sanctioned Russian Broadcaster; Wife Allegedly Provided Art and Antiques to Sanctioned Oligarch
WASHINGTON –Dimitri Simes, 76, and Anastasia Simes, 55, both of Huntly, Virginia, and Russia, are charged by indictments with two separate schemes to violate U.S. sanctions. The indictments were announced by U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves, Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen, and FBI Assistant Director in Charge David Sundberg of the FBI Washington Field Office.

The first indictment alleges that Dimitri and Anastasia Simes participated in a scheme to violate U.S. sanctions for the benefit of sanctioned Russian broadcaster Channel One Russia and to launder funds obtained from that scheme. Channel One Russia, a state-owned Russian television station, was sanctioned by OFAC on May 8, 2022, for being owned or controlled by, or for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, the Government of the Russian Federation.

From at least in or around June 2022 through the present, Dimitri Simes, Anastasia Simes, and others allegedly participated in a scheme to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), by providing services to Channel One Russia, including by serving as a presenter and producer of programming, and by receiving over $1 million, a personal car and driver, a stipend for an apartment in Moscow, Russia, and a team of ten employees from Channel One Russia following its designation by OFAC. The indictment alleges that Dimitri Simes and Anastasia Simes also engaged in a scheme to commit money laundering, knowing the transactions were intended to conceal the proceeds of IEEPA violations.

“These defendants allegedly violated sanctions that were put in place in response to Russia’s illegal aggression in Ukraine,” said US Attorney Graves. “Such violations harm our national security interests—a fact that Dimitri Simes, with the deep experience he gained in national affairs after fleeing the Soviet Union and becoming a U.S. citizen, should have uniquely appreciated.”

Dimitri and Anastasia Simes maintain a home in Huntly, Virginia. They remain at large and are believed to be in Russia. They are each charged with one count of conspiracy to violate IEEPA, one count of violating IEEPA, and one count of conspiracy to commit international money laundering, each of which each carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

A second indictment alleges that Anastasia Simes further participated in a scheme to violate U.S. sanctions for the benefit of, and to receive funds from, sanctioned oligarch Aleksandr Yevgenyevich Udodov. Udodov was sanctioned by OFAC on February 23, 2023, for operating or having operated in the management consulting sector of the Russian Federation economy. Between at least February 2023 and the present, Anastasia Simes and others allegedly participated in a scheme to violate IEEPA by purchasing art and antiques for the benefit of Udovov from galleries and auction houses in the United States and Europe, and having the items shipped to her residence in Huntly, Virginia, where they were stored for onward shipment to Russia. In return, Anastasia Simes was reimbursed and received a service fee. The indictment alleges that Anastasia Simes also engaged in a scheme to commit money laundering, knowing the transactions were intended to conceal the proceeds of IEEPA violations.

(Below are photographs of some of the art and antiques intended for Udodov and stored in Anastasia and Dimtiri Simes’s residence.)

Most wanted list for Crime against children
**NABUSE
CHILD P**N SUPPORT(1-800-370-STOP)
Child sexual abuse material (legally known as child po*******hy) refers to any content that depicts sexually explicit activities involving a child. Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor. These images and videos that involve the documentation of an actual crime scene are then circulated for personal consumption. More recently, live-streaming sexual abuse has begun to surface. In these instances individuals pay to watch the live abuse of a child via a video streaming service. This type of abuse is incredibly difficult to detect, due to its real-time nature and the lack of digital evidence left behind following the crime.

Though child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is a global issue, the United States remains one of the largest producers and consumers of child abuse content in the world. It’s important to understand the true nature and pervasiveness of child sexual abuse material to convey the urgent need to address this crime.

Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child po*******hy as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). While the definition given above is the proper legal term, it too closely relates this content to adult po*******hy. In actuality, the subject matter of “child po*******hy” is one of the most violent, horrific form of child abuse possible. For this reason, those working to combat this type of abuse have begun using the term “child abuse imagery,” one that more accurately describes the content and is explicitly tied to the source of the problem.
