qfx Meanwhile, the market’s putting on a show, most coins in slick green attire, as if they’ve had one too many espresso shots. The dog coin started the week with a bit of a yawn-began at $0.134 on Dec. 7 and then decided to stretch its legs up to $0.153-then, naturally, realized it was a bit too greedy and eased back. Typical!
So, guess what Bhutan is doing? They’re bringing a gold-backed digital token to the table-TER (because why not add some mysterious initials?)-and it’s all thanks to Gelephu Mindfulness City. Yes, that’s a real place. The whole thing is part of Bhutan’s grand national blockchain strategy (because that’s how they roll now).
The Blockchain Game Alliance’s 2025 State of the Industry Report, released at the Global Blockchain Show Abu Dhabi on December 10, 2025, highlights a dramatic shift in global talent. MENA rose from just 0.5% in 2021 to 19.8% in 2025-the fastest growth since tracking began. Who knew sand could outpace Silicon Valley? 🏜️
The token hit a market cap above $1.2 billion and registered more than $320 million in trading volume during its first full day, as if the crypto world had collectively lost its mind. 🤯
The Cardano ecosystem, which usually moves at the speed of a particularly relaxed sloth, has suddenly woken up to find its native asset, NIGHT, behaving like it chugged three espressos. In the last 24 hours, NIGHT skyrocketed by a frankly ridiculous 72%, elbowing its way into CoinGecko’s Top 100 like an uninvited guest at a very exclusive party. This, of course, happened right after the Midnight network team did… something important. Probably involving spreadsheets.
This drama unfolded after JPMorgan, the town crier of finance, warned that MSCI’s move could unleash a stampede of forced selling, turning Strategy into the eye of a financial hurricane. 🌪️ Billions, they say, could go up in smoke. And so, the stage is set for a showdown that’ll make the O.K. Corral look like a tea party.
The market, in its infinite wisdom, was expecting a 50 basis point cut. When that didn’t materialize, it responded with the kind of price action you’d expect from a teenager who was promised a new phone and got a pair of socks instead. In other words, chaos. However, most of this was already priced in – because when 99% of market odds are predicting a rate cut, you know there’s not much surprise left to be had. Kind of like when the plot twist in a movie is so obvious, even the popcorn’s bored.
Zippy, a fledgling beast of 2021, now offers its AI oracles to ETHZilla’s “tokenization stack”-a phrase as hollow as the promises of a drunken banker. Together, they shall chain-loan homes to the blockchain, selling these digital phantoms to institutions that, like vultures, circle the carcass of innovation. ETHZilla claims a board seat and a 36-month exclusivity pact. One wonders: is this love, or a hostage negotiation?
Behold, the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW), a vessel laden with the hopes and dreams of the crypto faithful, has docked at the NYSE Arca. With a treasure chest of almost $1 billion, it carries Bitcoin (74.34%) and XRP (5.17%) into the heart of traditional markets. 🛳️💼 Yet, let us not forget the trials of this journey, for the SEC, that ever-watchful guardian of the status quo, had delayed its passage, as journalist Eleanor Terrett so aptly noted. A tale of perseverance, indeed, though one wonders if the regulators were merely savoring the drama. 🎭
