According to Lookonchain (a group that apparently watches the blockchain more closely than I watch my neighbor’s Amazon deliveries), two wallets originating back to the days when Bitcoin was something you used to buy pizza or, apparently, forget entirely, just moved 20,000 BTC each. If you’re counting, that’s “we can skip the Avocado Toast” money and then some.
The central bank’s research team examined OpenCBDC 2PC, a model developed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Digital Currency Initiative.

During this much-hyped mid-July spectacle, the House plans to wrangle with questions so fiendishly complex that even Satoshi Nakamoto would probably call for an intermission.

Ah, the eternal conundrum of the markets!
Now they’re holding onto over 640,000 SOL, which is valued at a whopping $96 million. I guess that’s what happens when you’re trying to corner the market on a particular cryptocurrency 💸. And don’t worry, they’ve got plenty of cash to throw around after that $112.5 million fundraising round. I mean, who needs to be frugal when you’re swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck? 🏊♂️
