What Time Does ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3, Episode 7 Come Out?

The post What Time Does ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3, Episode 7 Come Out? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Belly (Lola Tung) in THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY Erika Doss/Prime Last week’s episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty left #TeamConrad fans on a cliffhanger when Belly nearly kissed Conrad after his surfing accident. Here’s everything you need to know about watching The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, Episode 7, including the release time and a recap of Episode 6. In Episode 6, Belly is shocked when her mom surprises her at the bridal shower. Laurel decided to come to the celebration after Conrad met with her and explained how much her daughter was suffering without her support. Although Belly’s happy now that her mom’s come around, she learned during a fun game of Jeremiah trivia that she might be confusing her memories of Jeremiah with those of first love, Conrad. Adam also finally came clean to his sons about his relationship with Kayleigh, but he’s still hiding the truth about their affair. But that wasn’t the only secret spilled. Conrad admitted to his brother and father that he’d been fired from his summer job at the clinic and is staying at Cousin’s before returning to Stanford in the fall. As Conrad explained to Laurel, he just wants to get through the wedding and head back to college, where he can distance himself from both his brother and Belly.

Bitcoin and Ethereum News: Pepeto vs Little Pepe, which is The Best memecoin to Buy Now?

As Bitcoin trades around 115,000 and Ethereum stays above 4,200, the range reads like patient base-building rather than a reversal.

Bitcoin Bull Run Hinges On Trump’s Pick For Fed Chair: Analyst

Bitcoin Bull Run Hinges On Trump’s Pick For Fed Chair: Analyst

Bitcoin’s next major leg higher may depend less on halving lore and more on personnel politics in Washington. In an August 18 market note on X, economist and crypto analyst Alex Krüger argued that the cycle’s duration will be set by the Federal Reserve’s leadership change—specifically, who President Trump nominates to replace Jerome Powell—rather than by any fixed four-year pattern. “I have a high degree of confidence this cycle is not over because I am expecting changes in the Fed to bring on considerably more dovish monetary policy, which is not priced in at the moment; this would start to get priced in once Trump announces his nominee to replace Powell,” Krüger wrote. Bitcoin Bull Run Depends On New Fed Chair Krüger dismissed worries that a pullback from record highs marks the top, calling it “remarkable how every time you get a correction from new highs so many people start to fret about the cycle top. Over and over again.” He reiterated his longstanding critique of the halving-cycle orthodoxy: “The concept of a 4 year cycle in 2025 is misplaced; [it] died two cycles ago, and 2021 was a coincidence, as it was macro driven.” In his view, the last cycle ended because the Fed turned “ultra-hawkish in January 2022,” not because of any endogenous Bitcoin dynamic. Related Reading: Crypto Braces For Impact As JPow’s Jackson Hole Speech Looms The nomination clock is visible. Powell’s current four-year term as chair ends on May 15, 2026, and reporting over the past two weeks indicates the White House has narrowed a shortlist to “three or four” names, with an announcement potentially coming sooner than expected. Candidates floated in mainstream coverage include former Fed governor Kevin Warsh and NEC Director Kevin Hassett among others, underscoring the market’s focus on how dovish—or not—the next chair might be. In the nearer term, the policy calendar still drives the tape. Powell’s final Jackson Hole appearance, scheduled during the Aug. 21–23 symposium, is widely framed as a tone-setting moment before the September FOMC. Consensus coverage flags the risk that Powell leans hawkish to preserve optionality, even as rates markets handicap a cut next month; Krüger leans “slightly bearish into it as a hawkish speech (to reduce the odds of a September cut) makes sense, for the Fed to retain optionality and not let the market push itself into a corner.” Technically, Bitcoin has cooled after printing fresh all-time highs in mid-July and again last week. Traders are watching the previous $112,000 high as initial downside cushion, with the psychologically critical $100,000 level, the overhead reference remains the $122,000–$124,000 zone of recent peaks. Krüger also highlights that “BTC is having a very hard time going up sans leverage without triggers,” a point echoed by derivatives signals showing compressed risk appetite. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Must Survive Brutal September Before Q4 Hope, Analyst Predicts Derivatives and volatility gauges corroborate the “low-vol, slow ascent” regime he describes. Implied volatility on BTC options (DVOL/BVIV) has sat near two-year lows, and open interest on institutional venues remains off July highs, signaling a more measured stance from levered players into Jackson Hole. Krüger also observed that futures basis had eased alongside the pullback—a classic sign of froth leaking out—while options markets show a renewed bid for downside protection on dips. The macro through-line is straightforward: if the Fed chair nomination tilts dovish, markets will begin discounting a looser stance well before the first policy move, extending the cycle; if the candidate (and subsequent guidance) skews restrictive, the liquidity impulse that powered Bitcoin’s post-ETF advance will fade at the margin. For now, the immediate catalysts are stacked—Powell at Jackson Hole, followed by PCE, NFP, CPI and PPI into September’s FOMC—while price trades between well-defined levels with volatility suppressed. As Krüger put it, bull markets “don’t end because of valuations or over-extension; the end needs a major trigger.” In 2025, that trigger may well be a name. At press time, BTC traded at $115,683.

$376M Presale, Mining Tech, Roadmap Risks & Investor Sentiment Explained

$376M Presale, Mining Tech, Roadmap Risks & Investor Sentiment Explained

The post $376M Presale, Mining Tech, Roadmap Risks & Investor Sentiment Explained appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. With presales frequently setting sky-high expectations, separating hype from actual value is crucial. BlockDAG, a project claiming to reshape blockchain infrastructure, has made headlines for its fundraising success and marketing push. But how does it measure up when examined critically? This review focuses on the real strengths, potential concerns, and current market sentiment surrounding BlockDAG. Strengths That Stand Out BlockDAG’s presale has crossed $376 million, placing it among the top five largest in crypto history. The marketing strategy, including viral campaigns, international sponsorships, and social media pushes, has significantly amplified its visibility. Partnerships with names like Inter Milan, and the Seattle Orcas have helped position the brand across both tech and sports audiences, further enhancing trust among early adopters. On the technical front, BlockDAG introduces a hybrid model that merges Proof of Work with a DAG structure, promising both scalability and network security. Its mining ecosystem, from X100 hardware miners to the X1 mobile app, appeals to both seasoned miners and casual users. Additionally, staking options introduce a passive income model for BDAG holders, potentially offering long-term utility beyond initial speculation. The project also stands out for building practical applications early. The testnet is already live with dApp support, a blockchain explorer, and EVM compatibility, allowing developers to mint NFTs, launch smart contracts, and simulate transactions without deep coding expertise. Potential Risks and Roadmap Realism Despite these strengths, a few concerns deserve attention. The roadmap, while ambitious, includes milestones that are yet to be completed, including the mainnet launch, which is promised for early 2025. Investors should assess whether the timeline is achievable or at risk of delays, a common issue in blockchain projects that attempt broad technical scope. While the hybrid architecture sounds promising, integrating PoW with DAG presents significant challenges in synchronization, consensus, and real-world throughput. There is…

Robinhood Partners with Kalshi to Launch Football Prediction Markets

Robinhood Partners with Kalshi to Launch Football Prediction Markets

The post Robinhood Partners with Kalshi to Launch Football Prediction Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The financial services company looks to take on Polymarket in the sports betting arena ahead of the NFL and NCAA football seasons. Fintech giant Robinhood is expanding its prediction market offerings through a new partnership with Kalshi to offer NFL and NCAA football prediction markets on its app. Users will be able to speculate on the outcomes of the United States’ most popular sport, and the feature “will be available to all eligible customers in the coming days.” Robinhood’s plans to offer initial contracts for the first two weeks of the professional and collegiate seasons, and will continue to add weekly matches over time. The trading platform revealed its first prediction markets, known as “event contracts,” in March. With the launch, Robinhood is challenging not only Polymarket as a competing prediction market, but legacy sports betting platforms such as FanDuel and DraftKings. Unlike traditional betting platforms, prediction market contracts have the market set the prices and outcome odds, whereas legacy apps rely on professional bookmakers and prediction models. “Football is far and away the most popular sport in America,” said JB Mackenzie, VP & GM of Futures and International at Robinhood. “Adding pro and college football to our prediction markets hub is a no-brainer for us as we aim to make Robinhood a one-stop shop for all your investing and trading needs.” Kalshi, which is based in the United States, recently announced support for SOL deposits on its platform in addition to existing options such as BTC, USDC, and XRP. While the platform supports crypto deposits, crypto-natives tend to prefer Polymarket due to factors such as market liquidity, and Kalshi’s controversial tactics, which were allegedly used to slander Polymarket when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan’s home. Prediction markets have been exploding over the last…

Is Stake Casino Legal? Review of the Popular Crypto Canadian Casino

Is Stake Casino Legal? Review of the Popular Crypto Canadian Casino

Image from Pexels In Canada’s rapidly evolving online gaming market, Stake Casino has become a name that many crypto-savvy players recognize. Known for its cryptocurrency-focused platform, wide variety of games, and global player base, Stake has sparked curiosity among Canadian users eager to explore new gaming experiences. But as with any online casino, questions about legality, safety, and responsible play naturally arise. Understanding how Stake operates, and where it fits into Canada’s regulatory landscape, can help players make informed, confident choices. The Canadian Legal Landscape for Online Casinos Canada’s gambling laws are unique in that they’re regulated at the provincial rather than federal level. This means the rules for online casinos differ depending on where you live. For example, Ontario residents can access iGaming Ontario-regulated platforms, while other provinces may operate government-run sites or have looser arrangements with international casinos. Stake operates as an offshore platform, which means it’s not licensed within Canada but can still be accessed legally by Canadian players in most provinces (except where explicitly prohibited). While this offers Canadians more variety, it also places greater responsibility on players to ensure they’re using reputable sites with strong security and fair gaming measures. Stake Casino’s Crypto Advantage One of Stake’s biggest draws is its exclusive focus on cryptocurrency transactions. Players can deposit and withdraw in popular digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and others. For many Canadians, this offers several benefits: Faster transactions compared to traditional banking Lower fees on deposits and withdrawals Enhanced privacy when making payments However, cryptocurrency gambling also comes with volatility risks. Players should be aware that the value of their balance can fluctuate dramatically based on the crypto market. Game Selection and Platform Experience Stake offers thousands of games, including: Slots from major software providers Live dealer games for a real-time casino feel Provably fair crypto games unique to the platform A comprehensive sportsbook covering global events The site’s sleek interface and fast loading times make it appealing to both new and experienced players. Its community-driven features, such as live chat and player leaderboards, add a social dimension to online gambling. Responsible Gambling and Player Safety While offshore casinos like Stake are accessible to Canadians, the onus is on the player to practice responsible gambling. Stake offers tools to help manage playtime and spending, including deposit limits, time-out features, and self-exclusion options. For Canadians looking for official guidance on safe gambling practices, the Government of Canada’s Responsible Gambling Resource offers practical advice and links to provincial support services. Setting limits and understanding the risks are essential for keeping gaming enjoyable rather than harmful. Security and Fairness Stake employs robust security measures to protect players, including SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and provably fair algorithms that allow players to verify game outcomes. While these measures inspire confidence, Canadian users should still take personal precautions, such as using strong passwords and managing crypto wallets securely. Bonuses and Promotions for Canadian Players Image from Pexels Stake’s promotions are structured differently from traditional online casinos. Instead of large welcome bonuses with wagering requirements, Stake offers: Rakeback rewards Weekly and monthly giveaways VIP programs for loyal players This model appeals to crypto enthusiasts who prefer consistent rewards over one-time offers with strict conditions. Pros and Cons of Playing at Stake Casino in Canada Pros: Crypto-friendly with fast transactions Massive game library and sportsbook Social features and active community Provably fair games for transparency Cons: Not locally licensed in Canada Crypto volatility risk Limited traditional payment options Is Stake Casino the Right Choice for Canadians? For Canadian crypto enthusiasts seeking variety, speed, and a community-driven gaming experience, Stake is a compelling option. Its legality in most provinces makes it accessible, but players should confirm their local regulations before signing up. Most importantly, they should approach online gambling with the same care they would any form of entertainment, setting limits, playing responsibly, and knowing when to step away. Stake isn’t for everyone, especially if you prefer traditional payment methods or want the security of a locally licensed platform. But for those comfortable with cryptocurrency and looking for a cutting-edge online casino, Stake offers a blend of innovation and entertainment that’s hard to match.
