These amendments, though disabled, are nearly ripe for the picking. Node operators are told to test them in standalone mode, lest they face the wrath of bugs and activation risks. It’s like tending a field before the harvest-one wrong move, and the crop’s ruined. 🌾
According to a Bloomberg ETF analyst named Eric Balchunas, who’s probably sipping his coffee with one eye on the calendar, the amended filing on the 15th of December-with its shiny fees, ticker, and other fine details-means the launch is “imminent.” Translation: “It’s happening, but don’t bet your last dollar on it yet.” 🕒
Axelar’s AXL token slid sharply on Tuesday after Circle confirmed it would acquire the core team and proprietary intellectual property of Interop Labs. The announcement sparked immediate pushback on X, where traders and developers questioned how the move would affect token holders, who are essentially the backbone of the project.
Key highlights from this financial farce:
Grab your coffee (or eggnog, we don’t judge) because the latest US labor data is here, and it’s as confusing as a fruitcake recipe. Jobs, wages, unemployment-it’s all over the place, and traders are spinning like dreidels trying to figure out what it means for Bitcoin and the rest of the risk-asset circus. 🎢🤹♂️
The Core Team, those darlings of innovation, took center stage (oh, the drama!) with their Pi Hackathon 2025, a spectacle with a prize pool of 160,000 coins. The goal? To coax Pioneers into crafting real-world applications that might, just might, make the PI token useful. 🛠️✨
Behold, the CoinDesk 20, a grand spectacle of financial folly. Currently trading at 2734.85, up 1.7%-a modest ascent, but one that would make even a Victorian matron blush with pride. 🤓

Now, Visa has hit what one might call a major milestone in their stablecoin settlement pilot program-a spot of modernization for their settlement layer, underpinning global commerce, don’t you know. By leveraging the fully reserved, dollar-denominated USDC (yes, the very same one with a market cap of $78.28 billion and 0.0% volatility-steady as a rock, that one), issuers are in for a treat with faster fund movement over blockchains. 🚀
The goal? To shove tokenization so far into the commodities market that it’ll be like, “Oh, you trade gold? That’s cute. I trade tokenized gold.” 💰🤖 Laying the groundwork for next-gen trade infrastructure? Sure, Jan. But let’s be real, it’s all about who gets to say “I was there when commodities went digital.” 🥳
