Behold the daredevil trader, who, with a flourish of madness, opened a $196 million leveraged short basket across BTC, XRP, and ZEC. A 40x BTC, 20x XRP, and 10x ZEC combo-because why have a safety net when you can have a straight plunge into the abyss? This isn’t trading; it’s a suicide note written in candlestick charts. 📉💔
Ripple’s beloved (or dreaded, depending on your mood) cross-border token thought, “Hey, I might escape unscathed,” only to realize it was just another day in crypto. Its losses played it cool-more like a slightly bruised superhero after a mild attempted assault-probably helped by the shiny new spot XRP ETF in the US put forth by Canary Capital. Because nothing says “investment opportunity” like launching new financial products during a market tantrum.
AJ, ever the mystery man, refused to spill the exact beans on how much he’s investing, leaving us all to wonder if it’s enough to buy a small island-or just a fancy yacht. The rest of the investor list? A cryptic riddle wrapped in a Bitcoin block. 🤷♂️
The vague promises include adjectives like “wallet-friendly” (read: won’t break the bank, unlike your last NFT purchase), “useful” (debatable, like a screen door on a submarine), and “unmistakably SHIB” (which honestly just means it’s probably covered in doggo memes).
According to the ever-watchful eyes of Lookonchain, Hayes, in a flurry of transactions, cast aside his altcoin treasures like a tsar discarding yesterday’s caviar. In a mere handful of hours, he unburdened himself of 520 ETH, 2.62M ENA, and 132,730 ETHFI. A modest sum, one might say, for a man of his stature-a mere $2.5 million, give or take a kopeck. 💸
Public places are getting desperate for frictionless connectivity, and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is here to throw a tantrum about outdated Wi-Fi rules. “Wifi passwords should disappear everywhere (hotels, homes, airports, restaurants/coffee shops).” Because nothing says “I’m a visionary” like complaining about 100 million hours wasted on typing passwords. 🤯
“It appears,” he confides to CryptoMoon at the illustrious Bridge conference in New York-no less-a place renowned for puffery and intrigue, “that this shall be a prominent epoch of progression,”-a phrase that could make even the most hardened speculator smile-“and I believe it truly addresses a pressing need.”
XRP’s price, lingering near 2.30 after a 7% descent, has languished between 2.40 and 2.50 for weeks, despite the ruckus surrounding the ETF and Ripple’s latest shenanigans. One might think the market had forgotten its manners. 🧐
Our beloved Shiba has strutted up by a tiny 0.80% in the last 24 hours. Not exactly a rocket launch, but hey, it’s something to smirk about. 🚀💩
The Dogecoin price, which usually dances like a caffeinated squirrel when Musk tweets, sat there like a soggy biscuit. Musk shared a meme of a Shiba Inu playing a banjo, a sight so surreal it might have made a grown man weep. Yet, DOGE remained stubbornly grounded, as if it had a secret pact with gravity. The crypto market, currently in a grumpy mood, probably didn’t help. It’s like trying to sell ice cream in a blizzard.
