Now, listen close. In the past day, folks have started poking their heads out of their holes, eyeing Shiba Inu like it’s a ripe peach. Open interest, that ol’ reliable barometer of desire, has ticked up by 1.89%. That’s right, investors are sniffing around this meme coin like it’s a bone buried in the backyard. 🦴
BlackRock hath moved 293 million dollars’ worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum to Coinbase in a notable shift, which cometh as 2.2 billion in crypto options are set to expire today. 🚨💸
The rally, like a banner raised over a hard-working block, is fed by Polygon’s Open Money Stack-a payments-focused framework aimed at stablecoins and institutional use-along with a spike in token burn activity; the ledger coughs up numbers, and the crowd pretends they are fate. 💥
The S&P 500? Oh, it’s still prancing around 10% above its 200-day average, acting like it owns the place. And the market cap-to-GDP ratio? Let’s just say it’s wearing a tuxedo at a barn dance-way out of place. All this hoopla’s pushing folks into hard assets like silver, while poor ol’ crypto’s left holding the empty punch bowl. 🥊
Joining him are Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse (because who better to discuss cross-border payments than someone who’s clearly never actually crossed a border) and President Monica Long, who will presumably drop some visionary insights while sipping a latte from a crypto-branded cup. Schwartz, meanwhile, will wrap things up with a live AMA. Nothing says “trust me” like a Q&A where he’ll probably just say “it’s complicated” 47 times.
Roman, the clairvoyant of charts, has posted a little warning sign, waving it like a flag at a county fair. According to him, Bitcoin’s current stride is more stumble than dance. The market structure, he claims, remains as bearish as a cat in a rainstorm. The numbers don’t lie-Bitcoin’s been flirting with $90,000 but can’t quite get a good hold, like trying to get a decent grip on a greased pig. Resistance near $96,000 laughs at attempts to go higher, pushing dour traders back into the shadows.
According to a company’s press release, which likely was written by a sentient AI, the Rumble Wallet is “integrated directly into the platform.” But who needs integration when you can just throw a few lines of code and hope for the best? 🤷♂️ The wallet allows users to tip creators with the same enthusiasm as a toddler with a smartphone. 🧠💸
Chainalysis calls this “a turning point,” which means: brace yourselves, we’re now in the age of sophisticated money laundering. Sanctions? They’re just a subplot. Meanwhile, someone named Ronald Spektor is trying to impersonate Coinbase employees and stealing $16M from unsuspecting users. Like, congratulations, Ronald. You’re now the star of crypto’s worst casting call.
The noble Court has pronounced that Bitcoin-the very emblem of modern finance-can be seized under their Criminal Procedure Act, thus bestowing an air of legitimacy upon the firm hands of law enforcement. One might say the digital age has finally been reined in with the firm grip of jurisprudence. How splendid! And all this, while the crypto-crowd was perhaps still dreaming of fairy tales and private keys in secluded toupees. 🏰🖥️
Yes, the same folks who told us mortgage-backed CDOs were “safe” now think Coinbase is primed for a 2026 glow-up. Apparently, after making some “major acquisitions” in 2025-read: bought a couple of startups with names no one remembers-they’re now more than just a place to lose money on Dogecoin. They’re going full service. Soon you’ll be able to trade Bitcoin, stocks, ETFs, and-wait for it-prediction markets. Yes, because when I think “financial security,” I think, “Let me bet on whether fidget spinners will make a comeback.”
