Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took another swing at a U.S. digital dollar today even as he defended crypto as a whole, unveiling a series of state legislative proposals that would combat "woke politics." "They don't like crypto because they can't control crypto," he said in answer to a question posed at a Tuesday press conference. Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. came out swinging on behalf of the digital assets industry on Tuesday, criticizing what he called a "war on crypto" following earlier remarks he made opposing a U.S. central bank digital currency, or CBDC.

The total fees paid for Ordinal Inscriptions topped 272 BTC, around $7.6 million on Tuesday, according to a Dune Analytics report. On Monday alone, over 372,000 Inscriptions were created on the Bitcoin network, with daily network fees hitting 23 BTC, around $656,000.
