Ah, the theater of finance! Where else could one witness such a delightful spectacle as a cryptocurrency born from an internet joke now rubbing elbows with the staid institutions of Wall Street? The DTCC, that most proper of financial chaperones, has extended an invitation to 21Shares’ proposed DOGE ETF (ticker: TDOG – because of course it is). Though the SEC remains the stern schoolmaster still deciding whether to grant this particular pup permission to play.

BTC.D is creeping up 1.01%, trying to pretend it’s the star of the show, while ETH.D sulks down 2.86%, signaling that all those shiny coins are reflecting a classic game of musical chairs – everyone’s scrambling back to Bitcoin. 🪑💸

Ah, stablecoins-the no-nonsense, always-ready dry powder of the crypto world. Think of them as the well-behaved children at the party, quietly waiting to be unleashed upon the dance floor.

The funds-$4 million in USDT, $500,000 in USDC, 3.7 WBTC, and 25 ETH-were spirited away with such alacrity that one might suspect the hackers had a private carriage.

Short-term storms may unsettle the common folk, yet the seers of Wall Street’s shadow realm (yea, the “analysts”) whisper of a grand revival. Should the masses persist in hoarding this digital trinket, DOGE might once again tread upon the peaks of 2021-ere the fall of man (and memes). 📈

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (how dandy) is plotting a policy to make life a bit easier for those crypto upstarts. What do they have in mind? An “innovation exemption,” which would allow blockchain products to blossom without immediately facing the regulatory guillotine. Simply splendid, don’t you think?

“Recent data,” quoth Mr. Powell, “demonstrates that the economy’s sprightly pace has somewhat slowed.” Oh, what a charming confession! At a luncheon in Rhode Island, he added with a sigh, that:
