Indeed, the sum of $84.9 billion in new stablecoins has been amassed upon Ethereum’s shoulders, a testament to its enduring allure. 🎩

Whale Insider, that modern-day oracle of on-chain prophecy, has unveiled the latest transaction: a 18,271 ETH purchase worth a mere $64.59 million. A drop in the ocean, or perhaps a splash in the pond of a cryptocurrency market that’s currently more volatile than a Russian novel’s plot. 📖🌀

Strive, Inc. has just announced the closing of its Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 2,000,000 shares of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. Traded on the Nasdaq, naturally. At $80 per share, no less.

Yet whispers persist about the project’s token distribution resembling a pyramid scheme designed by Wall Street alumni. Who knew decentralization meant centralizing wealth in fewer hands?

The consultation, a grand spectacle of bureaucratic dilly-dallying, runs until 10 February 2026. The final Codes of Practice, penned with quill and ink, are expected later that year. So, mark thy calendars for late 2026 or 2027, when the hammer of regulation finally drops. ⏳📅

The latest price jump came right after Trump’s announcement that, if tariffs go as planned, Americans might get a nice little dividend check. The crypto world, in its infinite wisdom, immediately latched onto this, pushing Dogecoin’s price past the $0.18 resistance level like a teenager with a credit card at a Black Friday sale.

The timing, as always, is a delicate dance of political whims and regulatory red tape. Senate leaders, with all the urgency of a drowsy clockmaker, advanced a funding package to revive the government-a gesture that promises to return furloughed SEC staff to their desks and unfreeze the bureaucratic gears. Meanwhile, the DTCC’s roster gleams with hopeful applicants: Bitwise, Canary, CoinShares, 21Shares, Franklin-all poised like impatient suitors, their CUSIPs and symbols polished but their approvals still a mystery. The DTCC’s disclaimer, however, is a weary librarian reminding patrons that just because a book is on the shelf doesn’t mean it’s checked in. 📚
