For decades, working parents — and mothers in particular — have been calling for more flexibility to juggle their personal and professional responsibilities. Finally, a global pandemic forced many employers to give it to them. Office workers were sent home en masse to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus, along the way testing out their companies’ capacity to maintain operations with a dispersed workforce — and challenging some long-held notions about how productivity is best achieved.
Working While Traveling
For others, the biggest challenge to work-from-anywhere has little to do with the work itself. Helen Xue, 30, a communications lead, was living in San Francisco when the pandemic hit and relocated to Portland to be near her partner’s family. With the permanent policy in place, they recently moved again to Seattle. Being a digital nomad may be the dream job for those who love to travel. However, finding (and managing!) a job that fits your personality, goals, and adventurous lifestyle is no easy feat. This is how I balance working and traveling around the world.Remote work trips clearly are not the same as a vacation, but they are a great way to hack around your normal holiday limitations and to enjoy a bit more freedom.
Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange, and Web3 company, is kicking off a dynamic new campaign with LALIGA, featuring Barcelona’s electrifying winger Raphinha. The new collaboration highlights Bitget’s innovative trading products—Copy Trading, Launchpool, and Pre-market—drawing a clever parallel between the precision of elite football and the strategy behind smart crypto trading via a series of videos that will be launched throughout the month of April.
Just as Raphinha dances past defenders with samba flair or executes tiki-taka precision on the pitch, Bitget’s tools empower traders to navigate the crypto markets with agility and foresight. The campaign’s three commercials showcase this harmony, blending LALIGA’s cutting-edge approach to sports with Bitget’s tech-driven trading solutions.
“In football, split-second decisions make the difference between a goal and a miss,” said Jorge de la Vega, LALIGA executive director. “Partnering with Bitget reflects our shared focus on innovation, performance, and strategy—whether on the field or in the markets.”
Raphinha, who recently hit 50 goal contributions for FC Barcelona this season, echoed the sentiment: “Football and trading both demand quick thinking and the right tools. Bitget’s platform helps traders stay ahead, just like we do on the pitch.”
The campaign isn’t just about star power; it’s about engagement. Bitget will roll out user education initiatives and trading challenges, allowing participants to win exclusive LALIGA prizes, including match tickets to see Raphinha in action for league leaders FC Barcelona. Think of it as a hat-trick of opportunities: learn, trade, and win.
“What excites me most about this partnership isn’t just the shared spotlight between crypto and football; it’s how fundamentally alike these worlds are. When Raphinha receives the ball, he’s processing positioning, momentum, and opportunity in real-time, much like a skilled trader reading market movements,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. She added, “We’ve built tools that give users that same edge: Copy Trading lets you learn from the pros, Launchpool brings effortless passive income, and Pre-market offers early winning opportunities. This campaign celebrates that strategic mindset whether you’re trading on our platform or watching Raphina light up the Camp Nou.”
LALIGA’s reputation for embracing technology aligns perfectly with Bitget’s mission to make crypto trading accessible and intuitive. Both industries thrive on strategy, timing, and execution—whether it’s a perfectly placed through ball or a well-timed trade. This campaign marks the latest chapter in Bitget’s growing sports legacy, having partnered with football legend Lionel Messi and the Italian football club Juventus. As the campaign unfolds, Bitget and LALIGA aim to inspire fans and traders alike to embrace a smarter, more strategic approach, both in crypto and beyond.

Five top PumpFun tokens to watch this week are FARTCOIN, Alchemist AI (ALCH), HOUSE, GORK, and AVA. FARTCOIN leads with a $1.1 billion market cap and a 343% gain since March 1.
ALCH and AVA are gaining traction with strong narratives, while GORK and HOUSE show high volume and volatility. All five tokens are approaching key price levels that could trigger major moves in the days ahead.
FARTCOIN
FARTCOIN has firmly established itself as the leading token on PumpFun, reaching a massive $1.1 billion market cap after climbing 144% in the last 30 days.
While much of the crypto market faced corrections, FARTCOIN continued its upward march, now up 343% since March 1.
Few meme coins have matched this level of sustained performance, placing FARTCOIN in its own category in terms of strength and consistency.
Technically, the chart still leans bullish, though the gap between short- and long-term moving averages is narrowing, signaling that momentum may be cooling slightly.
On the downside, $1.06 acts as first support, and if that level breaks, the next major area to watch is $0.94.
Alchemist AI (ALCH)
Alchemist AI (ALCH), a no-code platform that lets users build applications using artificial intelligence and natural language, has rapidly gained attention as one of the top-performing PumpFun tokens.
Over the past month, ALCH has surged nearly 170%, driving its market cap to $153 million.
Technically, ALCH is approaching a critical resistance around $0.184. A confirmed breakout above this level could lead to new all-time highs, with $0.239 as the next major target.
On the downside, $0.155 is key support—if lost, the token may retrace to $0.132, with a deeper pullback possibly extending to $0.076.
The token surged over 23% in the past seven days, but is currently undergoing a sharp 24-hour correction of more than 22%, showing high volatility common to meme-driven assets.
Looking ahead, HOUSE is nearing a key support level at $0.0569. If it holds that zone, a rebound could take it to $0.0835, and with strong momentum, even up to $0.13.
However, losing that support may signal deeper short-term weakness, and traders will be closely watching how HOUSE reacts in the coming sessions.
New XAI Gork (GORK)
GORK, launched only a few days ago, has already become one of the hottest tokens on PumpFun, with a market cap exceeding $51 million. Its rapid rise has drawn significant trader attention, driven by strong early interest and hype.
In the last 24 hours alone, GORK’s trading volume jumped nearly 82%, reaching $223.55 million, signaling intense speculative activity around the token.
The price is up 7% over the past day, and if momentum continues, GORK could soon test resistance at $0.076, with a possible move to $0.095 in a strong rally.
However, volatility remains high, and if sentiment shifts, the token could correct and test support at $0.0355. How GORK behaves around these levels will likely determine whether it can sustain its breakout or fade with the next market cycle.
Ava AI (AVA)
AVA has gained strong traction over the past week, jumping over 72% and pushing its market cap to $83 million, despite a 6% pullback in the last 24 hours.
The token was developed by the Holoworld team—an AI engine for storytelling designed to serve next-gen creators and brands through immersive, intelligent character-driven experiences.
The CME is launching futures trading on XRP on May 19, pending regulatory review. It will allow both micro and large contracts, from 2,500 to 50,000 XRP, prioritizing flexibility and precision.
This development could provide several key advantages for the asset. In addition to substantial liquidity, the CME will treat the asset as a commodity like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This could potentially boost the chances of an XRP ETF approval.
CME to Launch XRP Futures
XRP futures are financial contracts that let traders speculate on the future price of XRP without owning the actual XRP coins. It will allow institutional and professional traders to hedge risk or speculate on XRP prices using regulated instruments.
CME’s involvement is significant—it’s the world’s largest derivatives exchange, and adding XRP gives more legitimacy and market depth.
“While overdue in a bunch of ways, this is an incredibly important and exciting step in the continued growth of the XRP market!” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse claimed via social media.
Meanwhile, futures trading in the institutional market could potentially aid the chances of an XRP ETF. Additionally, it potentially opens a huge window of new liquidity for the token. The recognition of CME’s brand will guarantee product quality in the eyes of institutional investors.
Coinbase added XRP futures trading earlier this week after receiving official CFTC approval. The CME is also a CFTC-regulated institution, but it will take a few weeks to offer its own XRP futures.
Still, it began offering Bitcoin and Ethereum futures this year, and this development suggests it’s treating Ripple’s altcoin like a commodity, too.
The announcement acknowledges that it still requires regulatory approval, possibly explaining the long wait. These futures will be cash-settled and based on the CME’s XRP-Dollar reference rate, which is calculated daily.
XRP’s demand hit a five-month low this week, and the CME won’t offer futures for nearly a month. This news is undoubtedly bullish, but it may take some time to materialize fully in the market.
