But this time, they’re playing it safe-like a nervous first date-by partnering with third-party payment solutions and launching a digital wallet instead of their own token. Because nothing says “I’ve learned from my mistakes” like a 2026 redo of a 2019 disaster.
On the 24th of February, that fateful day when the calendar seemed to wink at the bold, 21Shares unveiled its Spot SUI ETF [TSUI] on Nasdaq. A move, one might say, as subtle as a peacock in a pigeon coop. Are they fleeing the crypto arena? Hardly. They are merely pirouetting to a new tune, their focus shifting with the grace of a chess master.
Their inaugural wager? A tidy 2,106 ETH-worth roughly $3.8 million, or enough to buy a small island, a very large hat, or about 0.0000001% of Elon Musk’s ego.
Traders, ever the pragmatists, now assign the bill a 42% chance of passing in 2026, reflecting a growing consensus that the negotiations between the crypto industry and the banking sector resemble a chess match between a pawn and a king-both claiming victory, but neither moving an inch.
Well, I say, HashKey Exchange, the crème de la crème of Hong Kong’s trading platforms, has finally rolled out the red carpet for HSK at the civilized hour of 4pm (UTC+8) on February 25, 2026. This token, the darling of the HashKey ecosystem, is now exclusively available to those chaps who’ve passed the professional investor muster. Tally-ho!
In 2025, Coinbase raked in $1.35 billion from stablecoins, which is 19% of their total revenue. That’s right, they’re basically the cool kid at the crypto party, and USDC is their +1. Thanks to their BFF partnership with Circle, the issuer of USDC, they’re swimming in high-margin cash. And now that the GENIUS Act is here (yes, that’s an actual law, not a Marvel movie), the party’s just getting started. Coinbase execs are like, “Watch us multiply this revenue by two to seven times. Boom.”
In a series of dramatic, yet very important, posts, the Foundation expressed its desire to see decentralized finance thrive-but only if it meets Ethereum’s lofty standards. One brave soul even said it out loud: “DeFi isn’t just some niche inside crypto. It’s a revolution-or at least, it better be.”
Bitcoin is still trading under $70,000, influenced by general economic uncertainty that’s affecting investments considered risky. Recent selling activity has narrowed Bitcoin’s price range to between $64,000 and $67,000, and it’s currently showing little strong movement. According to Wintermute, this isn’t just a temporary fluctuation.
Ethereum’s price, like a stubborn mule, refused to stay above $1,880, plunging once more. It slithered past $1,850 and $1,820, descending into the shadowy realm of bearish despair.
In a new post on X, Capriole Investments’ Charles Edwards, a man whose words carry the gravity of a storm, has laid bare the latest trend in the behavior of those who once danced with Bitcoin. To track their movements, Edwards has used the spot ETFs and treasury companies as a compass, though one might wonder if they’re merely chasing shadows.
