Polkadot (DOT) traded near $2 on Friday as the cryptocurrency returned to a price level chart analyst Egrag Crypto has identified as a long-term accumulation zone since June 2022. How thrilling! A reunion with the past, though one suspects the past may have forgotten its manners. 🕰️
While headlines chirp “positivity,” let us dissect this farce with a scalpel forged from sarcasm. The FOMC’s “gift” of rate cuts was supposed to be BTC’s golden ticket to $100,000. Instead, the price clings to $90,000 like a leech at a buffet. What sorcery is this? Let us unravel the threads of this madness:
Meanwhile, the market’s putting on a show, most coins in slick green attire, as if they’ve had one too many espresso shots. The dog coin started the week with a bit of a yawn-began at $0.134 on Dec. 7 and then decided to stretch its legs up to $0.153-then, naturally, realized it was a bit too greedy and eased back. Typical!
So, guess what Bhutan is doing? They’re bringing a gold-backed digital token to the table-TER (because why not add some mysterious initials?)-and it’s all thanks to Gelephu Mindfulness City.

The Blockchain Game Alliance’s 2025 State of the Industry Report, released at the Global Blockchain Show Abu Dhabi on December 10, 2025, highlights a dramatic shift in global talent.

The token hit a market cap above $1.2 billion and registered more than $320 million in trading volume during its first full day, as if the crypto world had collectively lost its mind. 🤯
The Cardano ecosystem, which usually moves at the speed of a particularly relaxed sloth, has suddenly woken up to find its native asset, NIGHT, behaving like it chugged three espressos. In the last 24 hours, NIGHT skyrocketed by a frankly ridiculous 72%, elbowing its way into CoinGecko’s Top 100 like an uninvited guest at a very exclusive party. This, of course, happened right after the Midnight network team did… something important. Probably involving spreadsheets.
This drama unfolded after JPMorgan, the town crier of finance, warned that MSCI’s move could unleash a stampede of forced selling, turning Strategy into the eye of a financial hurricane. 🌪️ Billions, they say, could go up in smoke. And so, the stage is set for a showdown that’ll make the O.K. Corral look like a tea party.
The market, in its infinite wisdom, was expecting a 50 basis point cut. When that didn’t materialize, it responded with the kind of price action you’d expect from a teenager who was promised a new phone and got a pair of socks instead. In other words, chaos. However, most of this was already priced in – because when 99% of market odds are predicting a rate cut, you know there’s not much surprise left to be had. Kind of like when the plot twist in a movie is so obvious, even the popcorn’s bored.
