Word has it, Securitize is aiming to shake up public share ownership by tokenizing its own equity-because why not blend the stodgy with the digital, like turning cucumber sandwiches into a blockchain burger? 🍔🔗 The company is so confident, they’ve signed a deal with Cantor Fitzgerald’s SPAC, and they’re planning to keep their name (like a true toff clinging to his bacon fry), all under the ticker “SECZ” – sounds more like a secret society than a stock exchange, I dare say.

Nasdaq’s very own Streamex Corp. has decided to get serious about its gold-backed stablecoin, GLDY. 🏦💰 They’ve teamed up with Chainlink (LINK), the oracle whisperer, to make sure institutional investors can sleep at night. Because let’s face it, when it comes to money, trust is the new black. 🕶️

Trading for the COMMON/USDT pair is now live, and deposits are open. But don’t get too excited-withdrawals won’t start until October 2025. Because nothing says “customer service” like making users wait for a year to cash out. 🕒💸

Oh, just MetaMask’s clever little scheme to tie rewards to the Linea Layer-2 network. You’ll get points for doing the usual on-chain stuff-swaps, bridging, and, yes, probably clicking buttons at random. But hey, they’re calling it a “reward system,” so it sounds nice. These points are supposedly paving the way for the rumored airdrop. Or maybe they’re just another way to make you feel better about your crypto losses. Either way, stay tuned.

Ah, Circle, the proud parent of USDC stablecoin, has blessed us all with its latest masterpiece: the Arc payments blockchain. Yes, folks, this shiny new toy has started its public testnet, and oh boy, who’s involved? Only a few minor players like BlackRock and Visa-just your everyday financial titans. These giants are here to make sure the financial world doesn’t just evolve, but revolves around their shiny new creation. A brave new world of programmable money is upon us!

This sudden surge, emerging from the torpor of early October, suggests that the grandees are once again favoring high-cap assets, as though the crypto market were a mere carousel for their capital rotation. Might this institutional embrace be the catalyst to hoist Ethereum above the $4,200 resistance level? Analysts, those soothsayers of the financial world, whisper of $5,000 as the next logical destination. How very daring! 🚀

Several altcoins have produced impressive gains over the past 24 hours, including FIGR_HELOC, HBAR, TRUMP, TAO, and PUMP. 🚀 (Because who needs a stable economy when you can have a 40% surge in a meme coin?)

But here’s the twist: traders are acting like they’ve just been told the Wi-Fi password is “password123.” Cautious? More like crypto’s version of a conspiracy theorist. 🧠

Now, this little shindig comes hot on the heels of a mNAV dip that had investors clutching their pearls. But fear not, dear readers, for Metaplanet has a plan: maximize BTC yield, boost capital efficiency, and throw in a credit facility for good measure. Because when in doubt, just add more debt. 🤑 Simon Gerovich, the brains behind this operation, tweeted:

On Tuesday, Duong dropped the big question on his X account: “Where are the DATs?” Spoiler alert: Most of the DAT purchases lately? They’ve all been in Ethereum (ETH), much to the disappointment of poor Bitcoin, which has taken a nosedive in purchases, hitting its lowest point of the year. Ouch.
