Bloomberg, that harbinger of financial doom, reports that in a court filing as dry as the desert of moral bankruptcy, U.S. prosecutors painted Kwon’s deeds as “colossal in scope.” His “misleading statements,” they claim, set off a chain reaction of calamities, toppling even the mighty FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried’s house of cards. And yet, in this era of regulatory leniency-courtesy of the Trump administration’s golden touch-even Binance’s Changpeng Zhao walks free, pardoned like a wayward prince. 🏛️🤡

This incident fits into a wider pattern in 2025, where insider access and rising crypto theft are becoming key features of North Korea’s cyber strategy. 🤖💸

The fund, once hailed as the golden bridge between Wall Street’s gilded halls and crypto’s wild frontier, now stands like a crumbling monument to hubris. Six weeks of outflows, you say? Why, it’s as if investors are staging a silent revolt, their pockets lined with Bitcoin and their hearts heavy with regret.

Brace yourselves, because the central bank has officially ended its long-winded experiment in quantitative tightening (QT). Imagine it like a really boring diet plan for money. After all that “tightening,” the Fed finally took a deep breath and hit the ‘undo’ button, pushing out a whopping $13.5 billion in a surprise overnight repo operation. This magnificent sum of cash was swiftly funneled through the New York Fed like a Starbucks order on a Monday morning-efficient, but slightly chaotic. Banks brought their beloved Treasuries, the Fed took them, and-voila!-$13.5 billion of fresh reserves instantly flooded the system like a river of new, shiny digital tokens. Talk about a liquidity boost!

The esteemed Sina Estavi, CEO of Bridge AI and a man who likely sips espresso through a monocle, has declared that Dogecoin now stands at a “pivotal juncture.” One wonders if this is code for “I’ve run out of buzzwords.” His Bubble Risk Model, a metric so clever it could probably write its own press releases, insists that DOGE is no longer in a bubble. A bold claim, given that bubbles are typically defined by their absence of logic, which is precisely where the market thrives.

Yet wallets multiplied, oh yes! 14.2 million digital purses fluttered about the Ethereum orchard, plucking 63% of DeFi’s low-hanging fruit. Participation? Up! Volatility? A feral cat on a leash. 🐾😼

Bitcoin (BTC) tried to break into the $94K “VIP section” all week but got denied faster than a middle schooler at a 21+ club. 🚫 Security guard resistance even called its bluff with a few dramatic sell-offs. Shocking, I know.

Apparently, the legislation-dreamed up by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s gang-was supposed to make Poland dance to the EU’s crypto tune, the oh-so-glamorous MiCA framework. Introduced back in June, but alas, it was handed a veto quicker than you can say “blockchain bonanza.” The president claimed it would “threaten freedoms, property, and stability,” because who doesn’t love a good melodrama? 🎭💥

Behold, the imbalance: for every $1 lost by shorts, the longs weep $115. A ratio so lopsided it makes a camel look balanced. One must wonder, did the longs collectively forget they were gambling, or did they simply assume the Fed would hand them a golden goose? The crowd, it seems, had crowded too close to the edge, and when the macro winds shifted, the dominoes fell with the elegance of a poorly timed joke. 🤡
