The primary aim of this collaboration, as far as one can tell, is to reduce what they call “counterparty risk.” For those not in the know, this is the sort of risk that keeps you awake at night, wondering if your money will still be there when you wake up. Ever since the great FTX fiasco of 2022, where billions were lost and many a man’s hair turned prematurely white, investors have been clamoring for more secure options. Enter BBVA, with its strong “name recognition,” which, in layman’s terms, means that people trust it because they’ve seen its name on a lot of buildings and advertisements.

The venerable Harvard, darling, has decided to dip its perfectly manicured toes into the crypto pool. Through its endowment, managed by the oh-so-clever Harvard Management Company (HMC), they’ve embraced a diversified strategy-private equity, hedge funds, and now, the wild child of finance, Bitcoin. How très chic! 🕶️

In true resignation-letter fashion, Bo waxed poetic about his time serving under President Trump and alongside “our brilliant AI & Crypto Czar” David Sacks. (Brilliant? Sure. But let’s not forget, this is the guy who once compared crypto regulation to… well, something very important, I’m sure.) Bo declared that their work had positioned America as “the crypto capital of the world.” Bold claim, Bo. Does that come with free NFTs for everyone? 🌟

This whimsical organization, famed for playing the role of a general partner in a peculiar parade of private investing adventures, was at it again! They gleefully welcomed in-kind digital assets into their treasure trove, as if they were inviting unsuspecting children into a candy shop! 🍬

Here, our hero XRP sprang from the depths of $2.8 – a humble support zone, aligning with the Fibonacci’s gentle touch at the 0.5 mark. It was enough to stir the masses, igniting a surge that carried it up to confront the dread resistance of $3.4-$3.6. This was no ordinary challenge; it was a high-wall, a battleground where previous peaks and the promise of supply clash with the hope of buyers. If the brave bulls muster enough strength and volume to storm past this formidable line, a triumphant march toward the $4 realm might follow. Yet, beware! The overhead supply – a cunning force of ‘nope’ – might cause a pause, a moment of breathless hesitation or a slight retreat, before the grand ascent resumes.

The darling payments coin, XRP, decided to moon 11% on Thursday, celebrating a breakout from what looks like a bull flag-somewhateer, a sign of up-and-coming optimism. Yet, beneath all this feline grace, the price stubbornly clings below the $3.65 point, the scene of the recent “tweezer top” kabuki-the bearish reversal pattern that screams “not so fast, buddy.”

Ethereum, the self-proclaimed “king of altcoins,” has been on a rather regal run in the last two months, reclaiming the $4,000 mark for the first time since the fateful month of December 2024. Meanwhile, the humble XRP has ascended above $3, surging by more than 10% in the past week, much to the delight of its loyal followers.

For months and months, Trump’s been huffing and puffing at Jerome Powell for daring to keep market interest rates lounging stubbornly between 4.25% and 4.50%. You see, the idea of lower rates-which might make the economy bounce like a hyperactive child on a sugar rush-appeals to Trump rather poorly, while Powell, calm as a sleepy badger, frets over runaway inflation.
What followed was a soap opera worthy of a golden Emmy: Trump’s hints of firing Powell, pushing him to exit stage left, and gossip swirling about who’d be handed the magic scepter next. But Powell, clever as a fox, might just grandpa-shuffle his way through till May 2026, daring anyone to snatch his throne.

In the grand year of 2025, they’ve managed to shuffle over $5 trillion across a billion transactions, a feat so monumental it makes the pyramids look like mere sandcastles. According to the wise sages at Visa and Allium, this is a 47% leap from the days when a certain orange-haired tycoon was still making headlines. 🤷‍♂️😂

In the last week, those poor bears found themselves in a right pickle, losing nearly half a billion dollars faster than a cat can lick its ear. The last three days were particularly savage, as CoinGlass data reveals. With Ethereum leaping above the $4,000 mark for the first time in 2025, it seems the trend is gaining more steam than a locomotive on a downhill slope.
