It’s not like this is a one-off, either. Nope. Fitell is just the latest in a growing list of companies whose stock prices have taken a nosedive after buying crypto. Earlier this week, Helius Medical Technologies dropped almost 34% after buying a chunky $175 million worth of Solana. Nice timing, guys. Can’t make this up. 😬
The culprit? A hacker, or perhaps more accurately, a digital Houdini. CertiK, a blockchain security firm, confirmed that the attacker tricked Ethereum into believing a counterfeit LayerZero Peer was legitimate. This deception allowed the hacker to mint a whopping 5 billion fake GAIN tokens. And what did they do with this newfound wealth? They bridged those tokens to Binance Smart Chain (BSC), of course, and sold them for almost $3 million. Money laundering? Oh, don’t worry, that part was neatly handled via Tornado Cash. Classy.
But lo and behold! After this fancy announcement, noses started twitching and eyes began rolling. “Why on Earth would Pi want to shimmy with Sign?” they asked, frowning like grumpy toads. Our intrepid crypto wizard, Dr. Altcoin (who, I must add, could charm a snake), piped up and revealed that YZi Labs-the new darlings of Binance-had tossed a whopping $16 million into Sign’s treasure chest! 💰 Now that’s what I call a trust fall!
In the last 48 hours, wallets brimming with 100 million to 1 billion DOGE tokens gorged on 2 billion coins, as if savoring a feast of digital caviar.

The acquisition occurred during a fleeting dip to $0.245, a momentary sigh in the market’s grand opera.
As a long-time follower of One Piece, I’ve noticed that Eiichiro Oda really loves to think outside the box when designing Devil Fruit powers. Sometimes, though, those powers become so strange and complex that they’re hard to understand – even after hundreds of chapters and episodes, some still feel completely baffling!

BTC now lags by a charming 70 days, while gold clings to M2 with the devotion of a Victorian suitor. A tale of two assets, perhaps? Gold, the paragon of risk-off elegance, and Bitcoin, the rakish risk-on rogue.
Swiss asset manager 21Shares has set its Dogecoin ETF, trading under TDOG, before the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, now listed on the DTCC’s Active and Pre-Launch roster. Broker-dealers can run their checks-setting up the ticker, smoothing the clearing wires-while the vast machinery pretends to be efficient. 😅
