SEC Loses Paperwork Again? Litecoin ETF Stuck in Bureaucratic Limbo! 🐦💸

by

Earlier this year, the SEC asked firms to switch from 19b-4 filings-which were basically the crypto version of “Here’s my homework!”-to S-1 registration statements, which sound like something you’d file if you wanted to invent a new tax bracket. Canary, being a good citizen, withdrew its 19b-4 application on September 25. One wonders if they celebrated with a tiny parade or if they just sighed and added it to the list of things the government never follows up on. 🎉

Fast & Furious Director Justin Lin’s Last Days Debuts Official Trailer

by

As a huge cinema fan, I’m really intrigued by Last Days. It tells the story of John Allen Chau, played by Sky Yang, and his incredibly risky journey to North Sentinel Island. He was on a mission to share his faith with the tribe who live there, completely cut off from the outside world. The film follows him as he attempts this, and a detective is trying to intervene before anything bad happens to either Chau or the Sentinelese people. It’s actually based on the true story of the Christian missionary who tragically lost his life in 2018 while trying to reach the self-isolated Sentinelese. The new trailer really highlights just how difficult and harrowing Chau’s mission was. I’m definitely adding this to my watchlist.

As a big fan, I’m really excited about the PS5 Treasure Box for Nioh 3!

If that’s a bit much, they’re also releasing a regular physical copy of Nioh 3 and a SteelBook Edition for $69.99 – which is the same price as just the base game.

CAKE Price: It Went WHOOSH! 🚀

Honestly, it’s all a bit much, isn’t it? But apparently, it’s getting all the attention in the peculiar world of ‘DeFi’. So, I’ve had a peek under the bonnet to see what on earth is going on, and what silly little things *you* should be keeping an eye on.

Gov’t Shutdown: Still Happening?! 🤯

by

According to data from Polymarket’s prediction market – a place where, let’s be honest, people are mostly just throwing darts at the calendar – a staggering 43% of participants believe this will all rumble on until October 15th or later. Thirty-five percent are optimistically hoping for something between October 10th and 14th, while a measly 20% still cling to the notion of things resolving themselves before October 9th. A concerning 3% believe Congress might actually *do* something before October 5th. One imagines these 3% have never actually *been* to Washington.

by

As a huge fan, I was so excited to see the Final Fantasy Tactics Complete Soundtrack released! It’s got all 71 tracks from the original game, plus 31 songs we’ve never heard before – all in one album. Just a heads-up though, you won’t find it on Spotify or Apple Music *yet*.

But, if you already own Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles on Steam, you get a little discount – it’s $22.98 with the bundle!

Lo and behold, the Empire State has rustled up quite the parlor debate over crypto mining. Why, State Senator Liz Krueger, that upstanding lady of letters, has trotted forth a bill to levy coin upon coin from miners for their insatiable electricity-guzzling. Announced on a fine Wednesday, it seems the pressure on proof-of-work mining is mounting like a New York minute, all thanks to worries over ballooning electricity costs and the shocking amount of juice these mines are slurping.
