On the cryptic side, sleuths wielding CryptoQuant discover a tantalizing subplot. The Short-Term Holder Unrealized Profit metric, that most elusive beast, has begun to swagger with 10% burgeoning profits. A known precursor of heightened market tension, it portends either an enthusiastic rush to secure riches or the prelude to a frenzied bullish sprint.
He claims we’ve collected $215 billion in tariffs since April 2025 and that itāll climb to a trillion annually. A trillion! Where does he *get* these numbers? My grocery bill certainly isnāt reflecting a tariff surplus. But getting that money into our hands? Thatāsā¦complicated. Thereās Congress, which functions at roughly the speed of continental drift, and the Supreme Court, which, let’s be honest, is always ready for a good argument. š
After todayās Binance Coin pump, BNB overtook XRP and Tether (USDT) like a race car passing a couple of turtles. š¢š¢ Now itās the third-largest digital asset by market capitalization. At press time, USDT had a market cap of about $177.4 billion, while XRP was sulking at around $172 billion. Sorry, guys, better luck next time! š
And so, in the grand theater of human delusion, the crypto rally contrived a momentary hiatus upon Tuesday, with Bitcoin, that digital leviathan, swiftly retrenching from record heights above $126,000, as sages dissected indicators of impending chaos, at least for this fleeting epoch. š
Thereās about as much reason to doubt Bitcoinās upward trajectory as there is to doubt the inevitability of a Vogon poetry reading at a galactic party. š„³š« Though the rally has paused (because even Bitcoin needs a coffee break ā), the near-90-degree uptrend line from lows just under $110,000 is holding stronger than a Hitchhikerās towel. In fact, prices tested that trendline today and bounced back faster than a Babel fish learning a new language. šš
Look, ARBās back above $0.46, flexing its recovery muscles after a light dip into the $0.42-$0.43 zone. Oh, the drama! The 12H chart is practically screaming that a “higher low” structure is forming – supported by the ever-so-reliable MACD signals, which tilt back towards the positive side. But letās be real: weāve seen this show before, havenāt we? If ARB can make it above $0.48, sure, thereās hope for a sustained move up, with targets of $0.51 and $0.53, but letās not set our watches by it just yet.
Well, butter my biscuit and call me a financial guru-the US dollar is taking a nosedive, and everyoneās grabbing Bitcoin, gold, and silver like theyāre going out of style. Citadelās Ken Griffin (yes, the hedge fund guy, not the magician) says investors are fleeing the dollar like itās a sinking ship. š¢šø Since 2025 started, the dollarās lost 10% of its value. Ouch. Thatās like realizing your exās new partner is actually cooler than you. š¬
Wall Streetās ancient beast, a pillar of traditional finance, is now dipping its toes-tentatively, perhaps-into the chaotic, regulation-muddied waters of decentralized prediction markets. Bold? Certainly. Wise? Well, letās see.
As a Tuesday missive from Polymarket X murmured, ICE has poured two billion into the prediction market. The agreement crowns Polymarket with a post-money valuation of nine billion.
