Apparently, people are so desperate to keep their Bitcoin (because, you know, HODL or whatever) that they’re using it as collateral to borrow USDC. Enter Morpho, the DeFi wizard behind the curtain, making this financial magic happen since January. Who needs a bank when you’ve got a blockchain, right? 🧙♂️✨
While the crypto market in September has been as gloomy as a Cossack’s beard in winter, ONDO has been busily hoarding digital gold, raising hopes of a comeback so dramatic, it could rival a Shakespearean tragedy. 📉🎭
On Oct. 1, CZ (aka the Crypto Whisperer) took to X to spill the tea about the attack. Apparently, the hacker went full-on phishing expedition, posting links that screamed “Connect Your Wallet!” like a desperate Tinder date. 🚨 Spoiler alert: It was a trap! 🕳️
The impetus for ZEC’s ludicrous rally is not merely the result of market whimsy, though whimsy abounds in this circus. The launch of Zashi CrossPay on September 16, a protocol so privacy-focused it might as well wear a mask and cloak, has apparently ignited “real, measurable adoption.” This marvel allows users to shuttle ZEC between blockchains like BTC and ETH with the discretion of a society matron avoiding a scandal. The result? Shielded transaction volume hit 3.06 million ZEC in September, a 15.5% monthly jump-a statistic as impressive as it is meaningless to the uninitiated. 🎭🔗
“I reckon every tiny rate cut by a central bank, whether it’s the Fed or the ECB, is basically extra arbitrage for these DeFi yields,” Kulechov told the crowd, with the confidence of a man who has discovered a loophole in the universe and brought a calculator. “As rates go down, we’re going to see a really good bull market for DeFi yield.” 😂
And oh, elsewhere, indeed. The stage is set for the true stars of the show-the altcoins. Analysts are all aflutter, waving their metaphorical crystal balls, and predicting that a breakout might just be around the corner. Is it time for a new altcoin season? Is the sun about to shine a little brighter on these oft-overlooked contenders? One can only dream. ✨
As of October 1, 2025, this illustrious company now boasts a total of 30,823 BTC, a treasure trove purchased for roughly $3.33 billion, with an average cost per Bitcoin of $107,912. The CEO, Simon Gerovich, with a voice as resonant as a cathedral bell, declared that they are now the fourth-largest Bitcoin Treasury firm globally, a position that places them in a dominant spot, though one might question the necessity of such a title. 🎩
So, CoinShares made the big announcement Wednesday, and it’s all part of their genius plan to take over the US market with crypto investment products. But wait, there’s more! They also need approval from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (because they like to keep things interesting with red tape). If all goes according to plan, Bastion’s trading abilities, strategies, and, of course, its stellar team, will be fully integrated into CoinShares. No details on how much money is involved though. Go figure.
Behold! Bitcoin (BTC) doth draw nigh to $117,000, as speculators, like moths to a flame, eagerly avoid a decline in its worth. A most precarious pursuit, I say! 🧐
Herein lies the fabulously intricate tapestry:
