With a wave of his hand, Zhao suggested that this clever trick could unlock trillions-yes, trillions-with the kind of ease one might expect from a magician pulling rabbits from hats. Why, even before cryptocurrencies grow up and figure out what they want to be when they become adults, the tokenized asset market is projected to balloon to a staggering 16 trillion dollars by the year 2030. That’s right, folks, while we’re busy arguing over whether pineapple belongs on pizza, the financial world is gearing up for a transformation that’ll make the Gold Rush look like a yard sale.

Google’s Gemini AI, that paragon of logical brilliance, predicts XRP’s ascent with the certainty of a man who’s never lost a bet. One might ask: How does it know? Does it commune with the spirits of Wall Street? Or does it simply echo the delusions of its makers, who, like all humans, crave a narrative where chaos makes sense?

The man who once counted rubles in a Soviet breadline now commands a digital empire, Galaxy Digital, where he tells Anthony Scaramucci, “Tariffs and wars? Just noise. Crypto’s dancing to a different beat.”

The total crypto market value has dwindled to a mere $3 trillion, which is about as much as a dragon’s hoard in a recession. Meanwhile, the Fear & Greed Index has dipped to 32, which is about as cheerful as a wet cat in a thunderstorm.

President Donald Trump, that most astute observer of fiscal matters, has recently deemed the current stock market dip a trifling inconvenience, a mere pebble in the vast marble halls of his financial empire. He predicts, with the confidence of a man who has never met a prediction he couldn’t outspend, that stocks shall “double” in time-a claim as likely as a snowball surviving a summer in a monopolized Sahara.

The sleuths mapped over 50 wallet addresses linked to the CBI, though Dr. Tom Robinson, Elliptic’s co-founder, chimes in to say this is likely just the tip of the iceberg. After all, they’ve only included wallets they’re jolly sure belong to the CBI.

So, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the dynamic duo behind the crypto exchange known as Gemini (which one can only assume was named after the twins’ zodiac sign and not a particularly indecisive star), donated a whopping 3,221 ZEC-valued at around $1.4 million-to Shielded Labs, an independent organization that appears to exist solely to fund the core work on the Zcash network. Who knew blockchains needed patrons like Renaissance artists?

This fund, a dual-edged sword, shall dance with the market’s whims, betting on both the rise and the fall, ensuring profit in every twist and turn. A clever stratagem, indeed, for turbulent times.

After a year of major ETF filings tied to Solana [SOL] and Ripple [XRP], Grayscale Investments has decided to join the party, turning its beady little eyes to NEAR Protocol [NEAR]. Oh, what a delightful twist! In a Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the 20th of January, Grayscale announced plans to convert its existing Near Trust into a spot ETF. Fancy that! From a developer’s darling to the institutional spotlight-NEAR is growing up, whether it likes it or not.
