With the data blackout more prolonged than my binge-watching sessions, policymakers might as well be chugging coffee and squinting through crystal balls to make a call. On Wednesday, with the drama continuing, the Labor Department announced it wouldn’t release the jobs data for October due to the record-breaking government shutdown. Because nothing screams “decisiveness” like uncertainty! ☕
Reports, dutifully recorded in those official, and often bewildering, regulatory filings (here, for those inclined to such tedious accounting), reveal that the ADIC has more than tripled its stake in Blackrock’s Ishares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) during the third quarter of 2025. Tripled, you say! As if the price fluctuations weren’t drama enough, now we have investment councils engaging in what can only be described as a rather…spirited embrace of this digital curiosity. 🙄
Our dear XRP tried to make a comeback above $2.20-like a desperate ex trying to win you back-stumbled, failed, and then decided to spiral down once more. It’s dropping below $2.150, then below $2.120, because apparently, upward momentum is so last season.
Apparently, Bitcoin dropped below $90,000 this week-first time in seven months. Seven months! That’s like an eternity in crypto time. Meanwhile, Santiment is tracking whale transactions like a nosy neighbor peeking through blinds. Over 102,000 transactions above $100,000? And 29,000 over $1 million? Jeez, these whales must be using Monopoly money.
In this digital bazaar of greed and inefficiency, a media entity known as TFTC on X has dared to speak the truth: Bitcoin’s rise is not a matter of belief, but of survival. Small businesses, the backbone of our economy, are crushed under the weight of transaction costs and the ever-looming threat of chargebacks. Yet, BTC offers a lifeboat-no processing fees, no chargebacks, just the pure, unadulterated joy of instant settlement. Miles, a crypto zealot with a knack for the obvious, proclaims the economic incentives are so overwhelming, adoption is not a choice but a destiny. Merchants save thousands, consumers reap rewards, and the BTC network grows stronger. It’s not philosophy, comrades-it’s arithmetic. 📊
So, there’s this chart that shows Dogecoin’s “net supply on exchanges” turned positive. That’s like saying your fridge has more milk than it did last week. Big deal. But apparently, this has “marked sharp rebounds before.” Oh, I’m so thrilled. 🎉
Yes, the financial colossus – yes, that one, the ones who manage more money than some galaxies contain stars – has filed a name registration in Delaware for a staked Ethereum ETF. Now, for the uninitiated (bless your hearts), a Delaware name registration is basically the financial equivalent of saying “Hey, universe, I’m thinking about getting a dog.” It’s not a dog yet. But it might be a dog. A very well-dressed, SEC-compliant golden retriever of a dog.
XLM/USD is trading around $0.2483, posting a mild 0.23% hourly uptick, but this move does little to disguise the broader downtrend. The pair continues to print a consistent pattern of lower highs and lower lows, suggesting sellers remain firmly in control. Attempts to push higher have repeatedly fizzled, with quick rejections keeping price stuck beneath the important $0.26 resistance level. 🧙♂️💸
The Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association (JVCEA), the watchdog of Japan’s digital currency landscape, has added SHIB to its Green List. This isn’t just a ‘we like you’ pat on the head, mind you. The Green List is reserved for assets with strong liquidity, a solid exchange presence, and a track record of behaving themselves in the market. It’s basically the VIP lounge for cryptocurrencies that have proven they can play nice with others. And now, SHIB is part of the cool crowd. 😎
According to the grapevine, after 14 years of chasin’ digital gold, they’re fixin’ to chase after the next big thing: artificial intelligence, quantum computin’, and all that fancy decentralized identity hootenanny. 🌐 Who knew those miners had such lofty ambitions? Seems like they’re aim’n to be the belle of the tech ball.
