Investors, he warned, must endure the chill of deflation, a mask that obscures the true face of currency’s decay. “Can you cling to this digital talisman,” he asked, “when the specter of inflation does not haunt your every waking moment? Can you still believe in its finite promise?”
Picture this: the 2024 halving, an event so anticipated it might as well have been a religious pilgrimage, slashed Bitcoin [BTC] rewards. The budding scarcity was supposed to ignite a glorious post-halving pump, lighting our wallets ablaze with profits. Yet, instead of a jubilant celebration, we were met with a rather lukewarm reception, as if the market had just sipped some tepid tea.
Cardano, a grand opera of visible splendor: launches, announcements, debates, and ideas so bold they could make a bureaucrat blush. Yet, beneath the velvet curtains lies the grunt work-the relentless attention to detail, the coordination, the cleanup. It is here, in the trenches of tedium, that rough drafts are forged into the pillars of progress. A toast to the unsung heroes, like Robert Phair, who shepherd the CIP process with the patience of a saint and the persistence of a mosquito at a summer picnic.

In this financial fandango, we find ourselves pondering the fate of two of the more popular altcoins-XRP and ADA. Which of these digital darlings will weather the storm with the grace of a seasoned cricketer, and which will crumble like a poorly constructed soufflé? Let’s don our monocles and investigate.
As Bitcoin flexes its digital muscles, smaller tokens are feeling adventurous and diving headfirst into the market. Enter the stars of our show: pippin and pump.fun, who have both seen remarkable gains as trading volumes shoot up faster than a cat on a hot tin roof. The burning question now is: how high will these prices leap this weekend? Perhaps they’ll reach for the stars or at least the ceiling.
In a most splendid twist of fate (or perhaps mere coincidence), Anchorage Digital has decided to expand its Atlas collateral management platform. This isn’t just any expansion; no, dear reader! It comes through an integration with Kamino, that clever little creation born from the genius minds of the Solana Company. The outcome? A glorious opportunity for institutions to borrow on Solana, all while their assets remain cozily wrapped in the warm embrace of regulatory custody.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer artistry of investors pulling capital from these crypto ETFs like they’re fleeing a zombie apocalypse. Bitcoin’s spot ETFs bled a hefty $410.37 million this week, and trust me, it wasn’t just a small cut. Ten funds joined in on the fun, but Blackrock’s IBIT led the charge downwards with a whopping $157.56 million gone.
