Miss Cathie Wood, it would appear, has long kept a public and steadfast faith in the fortunes of crypto, acquiring assets and shares in enterprises linked to digital tokens when prices were sufficiently low to tempt even a wary spirit. Her house took early positions in exchange operators and fintech houses that provide access to crypto, as a testament, one must suppose, to constancy in the face of volatility more rapid than a Regency wable in a ballroom.
“We are setting clear rules to ensure consumers are protected and innovation can thrive,” declared Sarah Pritchard, FCA’s executive director of markets. She painted the move as a delicate balancing act, maintaining market integrity while coaxing long‑term growth to tip a teacup toward prosperity.

Oh, the irony! In October, this very whale was the toast of the market, a master of timing, who, with a flick of his tail, opened shorts so vast, they shook the crypto world. Moments before Trump’s tariff tempest, he struck, amassing over $1 billion in shorts on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
