The Secret Service, the British Columbia Securities Commission, and a bunch of crypto-whizzes teamed up faster than you can say “blockchain.” Their mission? Hunt down dodgy Ethereum wallets compromised by what they *lovingly* call “approval phishing”—because just “scam” wasn’t fancy enough.
In a delightful chat on CNBC’s Squawk Box, our dear Gary declared that most altcoins are as sturdy as a house of cards in a windstorm. Why, you ask? Because they’re held up by nothing but the flimsy threads of sentiment! One little gust, and *poof*—down they go! 🎈
Apparently, some “key indicators” (ooh, fancy!) are showing signs of “weakening momentum.” Which, in layman’s terms, probably means the charts are as confused as I am after two glasses of Chardonnay. 🤷♀️ Let’s dive in, shall we?
Ethereum (ETH), the grand wizard of blockchains, plans to dazzle the crowd with Pectra and Fusaka this year. But, according to the wizards at Binance Research (their magic date: April 16), Ethereum’s castle is under siege by doubt and gloom. Investors aren’t quite buying the magic potions just yet.

Enter our hero, SHIB KNIGHT, who’s been watching the SHIB pattern squeeze tighter than my jeans after Thanksgiving dinner.

As reported by the ever-watchful Reuters, these local authorities are engaged in spirited debates, akin to a gathering of philosophers, on how best to rid themselves of these digital trinkets acquired from dubious dealings. The lack of clear guidelines has left them floundering like fish out of water, while lawyers, judges, and police officers scramble to devise a plan that would make even the most seasoned bureaucrat chuckle.
As these aquatic giants make their grand exit, the price of Ethereum is taking a nosedive, and investor confidence is shaking like a leaf in a hurricane. For many, this is a clear sign that optimism around ETH’s recovery is as scarce as a unicorn at a dog park. 🦄
In a most riveting article, the editorial board has posited that this impending crisis could be ignited by the staggering amounts of coinage languishing in the debt market. As the confidence of both business and consumer wanes—much like a wilting flower in a forgotten garden—the lenders may soon demand more cash collateral, as if they were asking for a rare vintage wine at a picnic! 🍷
With a casual flick of the wrist, MG Stover’s fund administration business has been, shall we say, absorbed? Yes, absorbed—into Securitize Fund Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary, like a forgotten dream. 😴
