The CoinDesk 20 Index, that barometer of despair, fell 4.3%, its members united in their downward spiral. Traditional markets, too, joined the funeral procession, with the Nasdaq Composite shedding 2.6% on Monday.

Ah, the whales! Once proud custodians of 4.8 billion XRP, now reduced to mere 3.6 billion! 🚨 A “strategic retreat,” they claim, though history whispers, “This reeks of panic!” As Ali, the soothsayer of Sentiment, proclaims: When whales abandon ship, even the mightiest coin may sink.

The last time open interest was this low, it was April 2025, when everyone was busy declaring their allegiance to Trump’s tariffs. Coincidence? I think not.

Chairman Tim Scott, a man of remarkable patience, has declared that the committee will “revisit” the bill when the stars align-or perhaps when the next election cycle demands it. 🌟 A spokesperson, with the enthusiasm of a man describing a tax audit, noted that “strong progress” has been made. Strong progress-a term that, in Washington, means “we’ve barely begun.” 🤝
