But the plot thickens, dear reader! Vanguard now holds a cool 12.44 million shares in Metaplanet, an enterprise that has not only embraced Bitcoin but is positioning itself as the globe’s most audaciously visible Bitcoin treasury firm. One might say Metaplanet is gallantly waving the flag of cryptocurrency, as if to challenge the very notion that ‘old money’ is incapable of developing a taste for the esoteric.

PENGU, the token tied to these chubby, tuxedo-wearing crypto stars, just flexed a 12.8% gain in 24 hours. 💪 Trading near $0.037 with a market cap of $2.3B, it’s the prom king of Solana’s meme coin high school. 🕺 And let’s be honest, liquidity loves PENGU more than a penguin loves fish. 🐟 Whenever the meme sector sneezes, PENGU says, “Bless you, and here’s my rebound!”

Grvt, pronounced “gravity” (because why not add a touch of physics to finance? 🌌), has pulled in $19 million in Series A funding. This DEX, built on the ZKsync Validium L2, is the magician of the crypto world, using zero-knowledge proofs to keep transactions secure yet secretive. 🪄

Solana’s SOL treasury is growing, and ETF approval might be coming. Let’s just hope this isn’t the next Beanie Baby comeback story. 🐻

Ah, the theater of crypto! Over 158 million Dogecoin (DOGE) have been devoured by wallets holding between 1 million and 10 million coins, as whispered by the oracle Ali Martinez. This gluttony has swollen their coffers to a staggering 11 billion DOGE. 🍽️🐳
