Meanwhile, the crypto world is pretending everything’s fine. Bitcoin (BTC) is back above $92,000, which is like saying “I’m okay” after a breakup. Ethereum (ETH) is also playing along, and the Fear & Greed Index is at 30-still in “I’m not panicking, really” territory. 🧘♀️
When Strategy dropped a cool $1 billion on 10,000 Bitcoin, the market folks expected a big jump-like a startled cat on a hot tin roof. But Bitcoin just yawned and kept its head in the sand. Now, don’t get your knickers in a twist; it wasn’t a lack of demand, but more like a well-orchestrated game of hide-and-seek with the price. Enter Quinten Francois, the Sherlock Holmes of crypto, who cracked the code on why such a hefty buy left no trace on the charts. 🧠💸
BTC’s annualized 30-day implied volatility, as measured by Volmex’s BVIV index, has sunk to 49%, nearly undoing the spike from 46% to 65% over 10 days through Nov. 21. Per TradingView data, it’s as if the market whispered, “Let’s all take a deep breath and remember how to count to 10.”

Mark your calendars, dear readers, for 2026, when ZKsync will bid adieu to its original Lite network, shifting its focus to newer, shinier networks built on its tech stack. A tale of progress, or perhaps a masquerade ball where the guests have all changed their masks. 🎭
On the ninth day of December, in the year 2025, Wirex proclaimed in the fair city of London a marvel most wondrous: a one-click stablecoin yield for business accounts. Through their alliance with Morpho and Gauntlet, enterprises may now reap up to 6% APR on their USD and EUR stablecoin hoards, courtesy of Gauntlet’s USDC Prime vault upon Morpho’s Base deployment. And lo, there shall be no lockup periods, nor shall liquidity be constrained! 🏰
Metaplanet’s multiple to net asset value (mNAV) has ascended to 1.17, its loftiest perch since the crypto liquidation crisis that began on Oct. 10, according to the company’s dashboard. A dashboard, mind you, that probably smells of fresh ink and desperation. 📈💨
