Cramer issues major Bitcoin price warning
During his appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday, billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones stated that Bitcoin, as well as gold, continues to be a reliable hedge.

Mysterious Shiba Inu whale buys billions of SHIB as token price takes dip
While SHIB’s value is experiencing a decline, the market witnessed the appearance of a mysterious Shiba Inu whale. Etherscan data shows that yesterday, the address “0xD6” acquired over two billion SHIB, and this enormous purchase coincided with the meme token’s lowest value since mid-June. This investor stands out not only because of the impressive amount of SHIB it purchased but also because of the newness of the address, as its first transaction was made less than a month ago. Currently, this anonymous investor owns a staggering 2.13 billion SHIB. The figure behind the address and the motive of such a move remain unknown.
