ICP’s Bearish Tango: Will It Leap Over the Liquidity Wall? 🐻💰

Over the last 24 hours on Dec. 11, 2025, ICP has been dancing in a tight circle between $3.6 and $3.7, taking small steps backward, as if it’s trying to outrun its own shadow. 📉 Estimated 24-hour volume? A steady 90 to 110 million-about as exciting as watching paint dry, but traders are still glued to their screens, hoping for a miracle. 🤯

Sky’s Keel Launches $500M Campaign to Make Solana More Real-World-Friendly

Keel, which is basically the on-chain equivalent of a financial lifeguard in the Sky ecosystem (don’t ask how, we don’t know either), has decided that Solana needs some real-world assets (RWAs) for a change. How do they plan to make this happen? With a tiny sum of $500 million. Yep, pocket change. They’ve launched the grandiose-sounding “Tokenization Regatta” because, you know, everything sounds better with a bit of nautical flair.

🚀 SHIB’s Zero Removal: A Dream or a Meme? 🌕

Behold, the EMAs-20, 50, and the formidable 100-looming like ancient sentinels, their slopes as downward as a poet’s despair. SHIB, poor creature, is ensnared in this multilayered web of resistance, its every bounce a fleeting hope, destined to fade unless it breaches the 50-day EMA’s fortress. A downtrend, you say? Nay, it is a tragic ballet, each step a reminder of gravity’s cruel embrace. 💃

A16z’s Grand Seoul Gambit: Crypto Capitalism Meets Kimchi Nostalgia 🌏💸

The office, helmed by Sungmo Park-a man who has donned the robes of Monad and Polygon like a jester swapping jests-now ascends to Head of APAC go-to-market. Anthony Albanese, the fund’s COO, waxed poetic about the move, claiming proximity to “users and builders” is the new holy grail. A noble lie, perhaps? For what is closer to the truth than a well-told delusion in these times of digital utopianism? 🤷♂️
