The US CPI data update has become one of the most-watched releases this month. 🕵️‍♂️👀

Behold the 4-hour chart-a candlestick sonnet penned in volatility. The price ascends, a knight in shimmering pixels, to kiss the $90,340 resistance before tumbling into the abyss of the trendline, as if yanked down by invisible strings. How poetic, how predictable. 🕵️♂️

Apparently, broker-dealers can custody these tokenized goodies under existing customer protection rules, as long as they jump through a few hoops. Operational, security, and governance conditions? Check. Exclusive control over private keys? Double-check. Basically, the SEC is like, “You can play with blockchain, but we’re still holding the keys to the car.” 🚗🔑

In a bold move (not unlike my own), EE makes Wi-Fi 7 standard, because apparently having a “full” fibre plan means “full” coverage and no more dead zones – unless you’re trying to get Wi-Fi to reach the fridge. That’s right, they’re upgrading all their packages, from the oh-so-modest sub-100 Mbps to the multi-gigabit beast modes. And guess what? If you want extra coverage, they’ve got some snazzy extenders, because who doesn’t love a little wireless bumper car action? 🚗💨

Brazil’s stock exchange B3 plans to launch a tokenization platform and a Brazilian real-pegged stablecoin by 2026, according to the exchange’s announced initiative to integrate blockchain technology into the country’s financial infrastructure. A bold step, as if the very fabric of finance is being woven anew, with Bitcoin and Ethereum as the threads. 🧵

Summary

As we check the clock, BNB has changed hands at a meager $832, plummeting approximately 4% over the last day, continuing its downward spiral. Over the past week, it has treaded between $830 and $899, now sitting at a 4.3% loss for the week. A longer look reveals a more tragic tale-a decline of 8.4% in the last 30 days, still a staggering 39% beneath its October zenith of $1,369. Oh, the humanity! 😱

Coinbase has introduced a new product that could reshape crypto payment infrastructure for global brands. 🤯 The crypto exchange now allows businesses to create branded digital dollars backed by USDC. 🏦

The government shutdown made October CPI vanish like a magician’s rabbit. The Fed is now blindfolded, and markets are panicking like they misread a horoscope. Services prices? We’re all holding our breath-will they finally say “I DO” to disinflation? Goods prices? Let’s hope they don’t trigger a tax-fueled 💥.

On this fine December 18, 2025, Amber Premium FZE-Dubai’s sprightly arm of Amber International Holding Limited (yes, the ones with the Nasdaq ticker AMBR, how posh!)-trumpeted its joyous news: an in-principle approval (IPA) from Dubai’s very own Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). Oh, the excitement! This approval, oh so splendidly issued in the glitzy UAE, nudges the firm ever closer to the holy grail of full authorization for virtual asset services. Can we get a round of applause? 👏
