Meanwhile, the Austere Realm of Ethereum ETFs, accustomed only to pages promising uninterrupted inflows, faced an abrupt and eloquent rejection of their five-day optimism. Indeed, $230 million sought refuge elsewhere, leaving behind an aching silence. XRP ETFs, that capricious conglomerate, declined a cumbersome $53.3 million, mocking the futility of modest hope represented by Franklin’s $2 million dance with fortune. Yet, amidst it all, the waxing Solana ETFs resisted the mammoth collapse, flourishing tepidly with $3.1 million, mainly courtesy of the same Fidelity and Franklin brethren who had shown mercy to XRP.

Alas, Ethereum could not maintain its poise above $3,200 and succumbed to a decline as predictable as a Victorian morality play. Below $3,150 and $3,120, it entered a bearish zone, a realm of shadows and despair. The bears, those relentless critics, pushed it below $3,000, and it finally tested $2,910, now consolidating its losses like a fallen hero in a Shakespearean tragedy.

The pattern has been as predictable as the seasons in Russian literature. Digital Asset Research analysts have offered their interpretations, akin to scholars poring over Tolstoy’s pages, suggesting that the 60-day waiting period for Bitcoin may be akin to a well-constructed plot leading to climactic action. Anonymously quoted, the sentiments resonate: “We are at day 58. Clearly, the ‘coil’ is no longer simply winding; it is preparing for an explosive snap.”

According to the proclamation, only the most worthy-those holding at least one whole share of DJT stock as of the sacred record date-shall be deemed eligible. Trump Media, ever the meticulous host, will consult with brokers to ensure no beneficiary is left unaccounted for. How thoughtful, though one wonders if the brokers themselves will require a stiff drink afterward.

Take Bitmine, for example. They’ve recently staked a staggering 86,848 ETH, valued at approximately $277.5 million-because who doesn’t want to turn their cryptocurrency into a cozy nest worth 1.77 million ETH or around $5.66 billion? Quite the fortune for a digital garden!

According to technical analyst Ali Martinez (yes, that’s his real name), XRP’s 4-hour chart is forming a falling wedge. Now, before you get too excited, remember that falling wedges are typically viewed as bullish reversal structures, which means they like to turn around and surprise everyone-much like that uncle who shows up at Thanksgiving after ten years but suddenly claims he’s a “life coach.”

Behold, the SKR and FIGHT tokens, now etched into Coinbase’s ledger of “maybe tomorrow, maybe never.” Trading? Not yet. Deposits? A death sentence for your funds, should you dare. A warning so stern it makes a bear market seem like a Sunday stroll.

And get this-while the price of ETH is doing the crypto version of the Macarena (dropping faster than a lead balloon), Bitmine’s like, “Hold my beer.” Their total reserves? A whopping $14.5 billion, including $979 million in cash and $22 million in investments so risky they make a game of Russian roulette look like a tea party. Eightco Holdings, anyone? That’s right, they’re living on the edge, baby!

Grant Cardone’s Cardone Capital continues to grow its Bitcoin holdings by adding $10 million worth of Bitcoin. Because nothing says “financial genius” like buying more of something that’s currently as stable as a teapot in a hurricane.

A prominent trader, known by the moniker DeFi^2 (@DeFiSquared), who boasts of his prowess as the #1 ranked trader on Bybit in the years 2023 and 2024, has taken to the digital pulpit to decry what he perceives as a grave injustice. With a tone both sardonic and indignant, he proclaims, “I bring to light an alarming governance vote by World Liberty Fi this month, which appears to be the opening salvo in a slow, deliberate extraction of value from WLFI holders by the team.”
