Crypto on the Edge: Pi Network, XRP, and Sui Set to Shake the Market This Week
Cryptocurrency prices saw a significant rally last week, with Bitcoin breaking the $95,000 mark for the first time in over a month. This surge, alongside Solana meme coins reaching a $10 billion market cap, set the stage for key cryptos like Pi Network, XRP, and Sui to dominate the spotlight this week.
Sui, a leading layer-1 blockchain, saw its price surge to $3.80, driven by a rise in meme coin activity and a 60% increase in weekly DEX volume. However, a scheduled token unlock worth $120 million on Thursday could disrupt its momentum. Similarly, XRP is at a pivotal level, trading near its 50-day Exponential Moving Average, with the price needing to break a descending trendline to avoid a bearish outlook. Pi Network, currently in a phase of consolidation, could experience a breakout if it gets listed on a major exchange, such as HTX, fueling speculation about a major price jump.
Exposed: ‘Plenty Who Shouldn’t Be There’ — Damning Report Rocks Fragile Hammers
Graham Potter’s frustration with his West Ham squad was impossible to miss after yesterday’s collapse. Echoing the harsh words of striker Niclas Füllkrug, Potter seemed to blame certain players for switching off at a crucial moment — a lapse that cost them yet another point. As Brighton’s winning corner sailed in, several West Ham players could be seen turning away from the ball, a mistake no coach can easily forgive. “I’m sick of positives,” Potter admitted afterward, a rare moment of raw honesty that laid bare just how deep the cracks are running at the club.
Bayer Leverkusen Plot Second Ruthless Hijack of Leeds United Target in £16m Goalkeeper Chase
Leeds United’s transfer frustrations could be set to repeat themselves. After losing out on Emi Buendia to Bayer Leverkusen in January, the club now faces another battle with the German giants — this time for Chelsea’s £16 million goalkeeper, Djordje Petrovic. As Leeds prepare for life without Illan Meslier, Leverkusen have swooped in again, making Petrovic a top priority to replace veteran Lukas Hradecky. With Xabi Alonso steering the ship, Leeds may once more find their ambitions hijacked at the final hurdle.
Hawks Stumble, Then Soar: Dramatic Comeback Grounds Eagles
Hawthorn bounced back strongly from consecutive defeats, overpowering a struggling West Coast side by 50 points at Marvel Stadium. Led by the unlikely hero Mabior Chol and veteran Jack Gunston, the Hawks overcame early inaccuracy to dominate the contest, winning 18.16 (124) to 11.8 (74). Despite the convincing victory, the night was marred by injuries to Jack Scrimshaw and Karl Amon, both ruled out with head injuries. Chol was a standout, kicking three goals and taking a spectacular hanger over Oscar Allen, while Gunston added four goals of his own. As Hawthorn rediscovered their form, West Coast continued to battle through a winless season, showing glimpses of fight but ultimately falling away under sustained pressure.
New York Giants’ 2025 Draft Stuns Experts — BBV Readers, Mel Kiper, and More Heap Praise on Breakout Class
The New York Giants earned high marks across the board for their 2025 NFL Draft, with several analysts praising their bold moves and smart value picks. Headlined by the selection of edge rusher Abdul Carter, regarded as a future defensive star, and the aggressive trade-up for quarterback Jaxson Dart, the Giants appear to have laid a strong foundation for the future. Analysts like CBS Sports and the New York Post lauded the draft as a potential turning point for the franchise, while Pro Football Network noted that Dart’s development would ultimately determine the class’s success. Beyond the high-profile selections, value picks like Darius Alexander, Cam Skattebo, and Marcus Mbow were seen as savvy additions who could contribute early. After a rough 2024 season, the Giants’ new influx of talent signals a hopeful new chapter under coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen.
Ferguson’s Shocking Message to Rangers Players: What He Revealed About Their Futures
Barry Ferguson addressed his Rangers players after their 2-2 draw with St Mirren, urging them to be mindful of their futures at the club. Despite taking the lead twice, Rangers couldn’t secure the win, and with the Scottish Premiership title now out of reach, Ferguson highlighted that significant changes were imminent. He stressed that even those with contracts were “playing for their future” and noted that the club was heading in the right direction with the ongoing takeover discussions and the appointment of Kevin Thelwell as sporting director. With a short off-season and European qualifiers looming, Ferguson made it clear that a big job lay ahead.
Leeds United on High Alert as ‘Fantastic’ Premier League Star Emerges as Dream £10m Signing for The 49ers
Leeds United are set to prioritize replacing Illan Meslier this summer, with the French goalkeeper expected to depart after six years at Elland Road. Despite making 214 appearances since joining on loan from Lorient in 2019, Meslier has struggled for form, leading to his recent drop from the starting XI under Daniel Farke. As his contract runs until June 2026, it’s widely believed that a fresh start is needed for both Meslier and the club.
With Leeds linked to several potential replacements, four English international goalkeepers have emerged as targets, including Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale, and Sam Johnstone. Johnstone, currently at Wolves, is being touted as a strong contender, with his Premier League experience and international caps making him a solid choice to take over as Leeds’ new number one. However, questions remain about whether he would be a significant improvement over Meslier, whose form could bounce back. If Leeds are to stay competitive in the Premier League, they may need to invest heavily in a proven goalkeeper or turn their attention to Europe for a more reliable option.
Revealed: Dejphon Chansiri’s First Words After Seizing Control from Mandaric at Sheffield Wednesday
In 2015, Dejphon Chansiri took the reins at Sheffield Wednesday with bold ambitions and a £30 million investment. Inspired by his son and the club’s rich history, he promised to work tirelessly to return the Owls to the Premier League. Early signs were promising, with back-to-back play-off campaigns under manager Carlos Carvalhal. Yet, despite glimpses of success, promotion proved elusive. Over the next decade, the dream faded, culminating in relegation, financial struggles, and renewed uncertainty about the club’s future.
Nazariy Rusyn Breaks Silence on Sunderland Struggles and Hints at Shock Transfer Decision
Nazariy Rusyn has reflected on his struggles at Sunderland, revealing he always felt like he was “playing catch-up” after joining the club without the benefit of a full pre-season. The Ukrainian forward admitted that injury setbacks and the language barrier made it hard to adapt, while a lack of trust from new manager Regis Le Bris signalled the beginning of the end for his time on Wearside. “At one point, I was even playing right-back in training,” Rusyn said, acknowledging that despite his efforts, the club had already moved on. Now on loan at Hajduk Split, Rusyn is embracing a fresh start, though he concedes a return to Sunderland is unlikely after the club insisted on a purchase option in his loan deal.
