Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, just made a mysterious tweet about bitcoin that's whipping up speculation across social media and the cryptocurrency community that it may be more than just a joke.
Around 22:30 UTC on Monday, Musk – one of the highest-profile Twitter users – said in a tweet via his verified account that reads: "I love anime."

In the same thread, he made another comment around 23:00 UTC, stating: "Wanna buy some bitcoin?" alongside an anime image that features the bitcoin logo.
The image was originally created by the website Cryptocurrency Girls, which has turned some of the world's largest cryptocurrencies into anime characters.
Musk's thread immediately proved popular over social media, attracting over 8,000 likes and over 3,000 retweets within hours of being posted.
The bitcoin message appears to have even prompt Twitter to believe that Musk's account had been hacked, as Musk said in a later tweet:
Musk has frequently been impersonated by scammers, who have made fake accounts in order to peddle fake crypto "giveaways" to unaware users – sometimes even via sponsored content on Twitter – and it may be that his tweet is poking fun at the fraudsters.
Since the tweets went out, prominent figures in the cryptocurrency community have been engaging with Musk's bitcoin post.
Notably, Zhao Changpeng – founder of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume – commented in a perhaps half-joking retweet: "Lol, it's spreading. I will buy a Tesla if you accept crypto..."
Dovey Wan, the founder of Primitive Ventures and a former managing director of Danhua Venture Capital, also appeared to be surprised by Musk's bitcoin shout-out, tweeting:

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Lo que debes saber:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Circle’s biggest bear just threw in the towel, but warns the stock is still a crypto roller coaster
Circle’s rising correlation with ether and DeFi exposure drives the re-rating, despite valuation and competition concerns.
Lo que debes saber:
- Compass Point’s Ed Engel upgraded Circle (CRCL) to Neutral from Sell and cut his price target to $60, arguing the stock now trades more as a proxy for crypto markets than as a standalone fintech.
- Engel notes that CRCL’s performance is increasingly tied to the ether and broader crypto cycles, with more than 75% of USDC supply used in DeFi or on exchanges, and the stock is still trading at a rich premium.
- Potential catalysts such as the CLARITY Act and tokenization of U.S. assets could support USDC growth, but Circle faces mounting competition from new stablecoins and bank-issued “deposit coins,” and its revenue may remain closely linked to speculative crypto activity for years.
