The Reserve Bank of India reportedly suggested that this shiny new idea head to the 2026 BRICS summit fashionably hosted in India. The goal? Making trade and tourism payments among Brazil, Russia, China, South Africa, and India smoother than a Bollywood dance number. Or at least that’s the plan.
The platform will offer around-the-clock operations, instant settlements, and dollar-sized orders. Because nothing says “innovation” like being able to trade at 3 AM when you’re too anxious to sleep. 🕯️
Ah, the EU! Ever the master of passive-aggressive diplomacy, threatening tariffs like a scorned lover threatening to return gifts. 💔 These headlines, though mere whispers of conflict, were enough to send traders into a frenzy of deleveraging-because nothing says “panic” like selling Bitcoin faster than one can say “macroeconomics.”
BeInCrypto has scoured the crypto swamp to find three meme coins that might deserve a second glance before January throws in the towel.
On a day engraved in the annals of January 18, McGlone, a senior macro strategist, ventured forth on the battlefield of social media platform X-an arena where many tender souls expose their nervous dreams. With earnest diction, he elucidated a grim possibility: Bitcoin’s inability to preserve its lofty perch above $100,000 might signify the arrival of a late-cycle juggernaut, cradling the potential for an inevitable declension.
On 19 January-aka the day millennials realized they’d have to care about stocks forever-NYSE dropped a statement detailing their vision: fractional shares, dollar-denominated trades, and stablecoin funding.

According to the esteemed CoinGlass, the crypto market’s recent shenanigans have been accompanied by a veritable feast of liquidations. One might imagine the scene as a ballroom of desperate traders, waltzing their way into oblivion as exchanges, with the mercy of a frostbitten penguin, shut down their contracts. Volatility, that old mischief-maker, has once again reigned supreme, and the past 24 hours were a particularly lively soiree of chaos.
If this ambitious notion gains favour, it will mark a most unprecedented event: the formal consideration by BRICS of a united digital currency. India, in her gracious auspices, shall host this gathering of mighty powers later in the year, gracefully assuming the presidency as of January 1, 2026-an act most befitting of a nation eager to make her mark.
Market analyst Bird (because who wouldn’t trust a financial oracle named after a creature that spends most of its time chirping?) took to the illustrious social media platform known as X (formerly Twitter, but let’s not dwell on that) to share his sage insights. 🐦
Buterin’s critique, as sharp as a well-tailored barb, begins with the modern DAO’s reliance on token-weighted voting. Ah, democracy! Or is it? He finds it as sluggish and power-hoarding as a corporate boardroom, with participants as disengaged as guests at a society wedding. 🕴️💤 How très banal.
