qfx Though retail traders and whale-sized magnates have endeavoured to temper the BTC price’s descent, the bears, with their cunning, may yet orchestrate a grand purge to $106K. One might say it is a most *exhilarating* game of cat-and-mouse! 🐾
According to Bloomberg (which I guess we should trust?), this move is their big entrance into the retail brokerage game. Think Robinhood, but, you know, with fewer meme coins and a touch more class. E*Trade clients will now be able to trade Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Solana (SOL), so get ready to dust off your wallets-or not, depending on how “crypto-savvy” you are. 🙃
The Las Vegas-based miner, Cleanspark (Nasdaq: CLSK), said the non-dilutive financing will be deployed across strategic capital expenditures, including enlarging its energy portfolio, scaling bitcoin mining operations, and investing in high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities. 🧠🚀
Well, dash me baker’s dozen! Turns out, even in the wild and woolly crypto town, a $1.7 billion liquidation spree – which is more dramatic than a midday soap opera – couldn’t keep the market down for long. Monday morning saw altcoins tumble like dominoes at a particularly rowdy garden party, and the Altcoin Season Index took a nosedive from almost 100 to a modest 65, like a politician’s promising poll numbers. Yet, bitcoin held steadfast – like a vintage Oxford blazer – above the $112K mark, while ether played it cool near $4,200, suggesting we might be seeing the markets getting their act together again. bitcoin and ether, the duo that refuses to throw in the towel, perched patiently as flickering beacons of hope. 🚀
Jed Finn, Morgan Stanley’s head of wealth management, told Bloomberg this is just phase one of their crypto master plan, which will eventually include a full wallet solution. Because nothing says “innovation” like catching up to 2015. 🌟
In a plot twist no one saw coming, Nasdaq-listed Fold (FLD) has teamed up with Stripe and Visa (V) to roll out its first-ever bitcoin-only rewards credit card. This is what happens when the old world of shopping meets the future. 🛍️💸
In layman’s terms, if you hold shares in either BUILD or VBILL, you can now swap them for Ripple’s shiny new stablecoin, RLUSD. Yes, really, you can finally turn your tokenized short-term treasury funds into something that doesn’t just “sit there looking pretty.”
Read on to uncover how these “standards” (they love that word) are supposed to revolutionize the finance world. Spoiler: they’re doing it in a very… organized way.
The National Bank of Kazakhstan, that paragon of fiscal sanity, has embarked on a pilot for Evo (KZTE), a stablecoin that claims to be tethered to the tenge. 🧵 Yet, one wonders if this is a mere illusion, a gilded cage for the unsuspecting. Issued by Intebix and Eurasian Bank, built on Solana-a blockchain that promises speed, but perhaps not wisdom. Mastercard, ever the enabler, lends its name to this grand experiment, as if global payments could ever be trusted. 💸 The Digital Assets Regulatory Sandbox, a euphemism for a playground of chaos, aims to merge traditional finance with crypto, a union as likely to succeed as a snowball in hell. 🧠 The future of finance? More like the future of confusion. 🚨
