This pronouncement, delivered with suitably bureaucratic gravity by one Lu Lei (a Deputy Governor of the People’s Bank of China – a title that inevitably evokes images of endless paperwork and lukewarm tea), appeared in the Financial News, a publication whose very existence suggests a degree of self-assured centrality. The intention? To ‘boost adoption,’ naturally. As if a digital currency needs ‘boosting’ like a melancholic spirit needs a pep talk.
The XRP galaxy is buzzing with chatter, as if the Great Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything was suddenly about wallet distribution. 🌌 Turns out, most wallets are as light as a towel at a hitchhiker’s convention, while a few hoarding whales could buy a small moon. 🌕 This has everyone arguing about whether the little fish can still swim in this cosmic pond.
On December 19, the Dogecoin open interest fell below the $1.3 billion mark, following the decline in participation. But the performance so far suggests that this could be a possible bottom.

Since October 15, they’ve deposited a whopping $617.5M USDC into Kraken, while $1.1 billion USDC took a field trip from Kraken to Circle. 🧳💨
On the frost-kissed eve of December 28, a governance decree emerged, pleading for the sanction to divert a mere 5% of the unshackled WLFI tokens. Their quest? To forge alliances across the crypto wilderness, where USD1 might roam free as a dollar’s digital doppelgänger. A flywheel, they call it-a mechanism to whirl their ecosystem into a maelstrom of utility and grandeur.
The financial titan, armed with spreadsheets and ambition, marches toward its Korbit conquest. Chosun, that chronicler of corporate drama, whispers of an MOU inked between Mirae Asset Consulting and Korbit’s shareholders. A union as inevitable as taxes and bad decisions.
