According to data from Bloomberg Intelligence – you know, the analysts who actually crunch numbers – the 13F filers, those are the wealthy institutions who need to report their assets to the SEC every quarter, were busy dumping Bitcoin ETFs in Q4 2025, offloading nearly $1.6 billion worth. Quite the ‘oops, maybe we should’ve held on’ moment.
Ethereum [ETH] joined the parade of misery, its fortunes sinking like a lead balloon, all thanks to the timely exit of co-founder Buterin. As these two crypto titans staggered about the marketplace like a pair of drunken sailors, the mood became positively “risk-off.” Traders, clearly trying to minimize exposure to further pain, began pulling their investments like someone pulling a hand away from a hot stove. Investors were making their swift exit, and not a soul seemed left to pick up the pieces.
The fear-and-greed index? A resounding 11/100. That’s not fear; that’s the vibe of a dating app profile that says “just looking for someone to hold my hand through a panic attack.” Liquidations hit $342.76 million in 24 hours, and open interest? A sad little $43.64 billion after the October 10 flash crash left it feeling like a deflated balloon at a toddler’s birthday party.
A retail run, dear reader, is a rally driven by the kind of hype that makes a debutante’s first dance seem sedate. It is the chaos of social media, the fevered whispers of FOMO, and the reckless abandon of capital fleeing from stablecoins like they’re last season’s hat. XRP, you see, has been subjected to this particular spectacle multiple times-demand spiking like a poorly timed yawn at a tea party, volume surging like a debutant’s pulse at the mention of scandal, and breakout levels chased with the desperation of a man who’s just discovered he’s forgotten his umbrella.
21Shares, the asset management wizards, just announced their spot SUI ETF (TSUI) is live on Nasdaq. Because what’s better than one way to invest in crypto? Another way to invest in crypto!
Ah, the irony of progress! Hedera, with its grand ambitions, has decided that AccountBalanceQuery, once a faithful servant, is now a burden. The network, in its infinite wisdom, has declared that this query, which dares to disturb the sacred consensus nodes, must be sacrificed for the greater good. “Off with its head!” they cry, though the executioner’s axe will fall not with a swing, but with a throttle.
Market analyst @AltCryptoGems has highlighted that Dogecoin’s largest profits are not made by accumulating during hype-driven breakouts, but during extended periods of low activity and sideways trading. In a recent analysis shared on X, the market expert stated that Dogecoin currently has one of the most challenging price charts to read for timing entry points.
A recent tweet from the harried folk at 24HRSCRYPTO warned that what may unfold for XRP could resemble a multi‑year, three‑dimensional expansion of possibility, powered by the twin forces of sheer liquidity and a surprisingly earnest confidence in everyday use.
On the fateful day of February 24th, a date that shall henceforth be remembered as the “Dawn of Blockchain Bureaucracy,” the SBI Ripple Asia collective unveiled their joint research initiative. Their quest? To unravel the enigma of how blockchain, that elusive siren of the digital age, might be shackled to the plodding, earthbound systems of remittance and payment between two nations. A noble endeavor, no doubt, though one cannot help but smirk at the spectacle of innovators attempting to marry the revolutionary with the recalcitrant.
In a FAQ so dense it could double as a doorstop, the SEC staff revealed its latest decree: broker-dealers may now treat stablecoins as if they were… well, cash. Provided they deduct 2%, of course. A toll for entry into the “liquid instrument” club, where the only risk is boredom.
