Low volume means it’s struggling to go anywhere, really.

With this latest acquisition, Strive’s Bitcoin hoard swells to a staggering 7,525 BTC, catapulting them into the hallowed ranks of the top 15 global corporate Bitcoin holders. Bravo, Messrs. Ramaswamy & Co., for your audacity knows no bounds! 🎉
Wirex, in a move that could either be genius or a Hail Mary, will issue the Cardano Card to millions. This marvel of modern finance allows users to spend ADA and 685 other cryptos via Visa-because nothing says “trust us” like combining blockchain with the same payment rails that charge $5 to send $20.
Apparently, these political champions believe that vast fortunes-roughly €47 billion in the year 2024 alone-are skimmed off the crypto world’s surface, yet left untouched by the taxman’s eager hand. The current rule, a kind of long-term sweetheart deal, grants exemption if you hold your crypto for more than a year, just like gold, rare collectibles, or that vintage teapot inherited from grandma-the gold standard of incentives, or so they say.

Reports say this grand rollout began on November 10, targeting Square’s US merchants like a well-aimed arrow. But let’s not get too excited-4 million is a number, not a revolution. Yet.
The land of XRP may yet bloom to $5 by year’s end, courtesy of a “mega breakout” that smells like a bull market’s first cup of coffee.
At the grandiose Cardano Summit in Berlin (because where else?), Emurgo strutted onto the stage with a cheeky grin and announced a (wait for it) strategic partnership with Wirex. The result? A shiny, multi‑chain crypto card that’s instantly visible toWirex’s whopping six million eager beavers across 130 countries. Summit goers got the first crack at previewing cards made of plastic, metal, and-dare we dream-even virtual! And this is just the appetizer. The main course? A non‑custodial Cardano card rolling out in 2026. Yes, you read that right, a card you actually own-mind-blowing, isn’t it? 🍽️

With intraday swings constrained and volatility minimal, the Ethereum price is trading in a tight coil around $3,580. Major price trackers reflect the muted rangebound action and slight 24-hour drift. 🕵️♂️
Exodus Movement, Inc. (NYSE American: EXOD), ever the trailblazer, has announced the acquisition of Grateful, a Montevideo-founded entity that enables merchants to accept wallet-to-wallet payments, QR point-of-sale, offramping, and ecommerce checkouts. The deal, scheduled for Nov. 10, 2025, is said to “strengthen” Exodus’s merchant services in Latin America, though one might argue it’s more of a desperate attempt to keep up with the crypto crowd. 🚀
CryptoQuant’s boss man, Ki Young Ju, with a look that says “I’ve seen things,” claims Bitcoin (BTC $105,109, because who cares about cents?) was doing its usual rollercoaster-up, down, and sideways-like a drunken bard at a tavern. His hot take? Whales are splashing billions, cashing out like it’s Black Friday, since BTC hit the $100,000 milestone. Of course, he predicted the “bull cycle was dead” early this year-how very gloomy! But then, thank the crypto gods, Big Wallets (or Treasury companies?) kept buying, keeping the bulls on life support.
