After experiencing a modest tantrum to $2.39 at 4 PM, it dusted itself off and staged a recovery, bouncing a confident 5%. Classic comeback-like a lemon turning into lemonade, but with more blockchain and fewer lemons.

Let us pause for dramatic effect. 🎭 Ahem. The official launch of Chainlink Reserve, a glorified piggy bank stuffed with LINK tokens, has sent ripples through the cryptoverse. This isn’t your average “let’s-hoard-coins-and-pretend-it’s-strategic” move-it’s a full-blown commitment to long-term accumulation. Like squirrels stockpiling acorns, but with more spreadsheets and fewer fluffy tails. 🐿️

Just last year, he was waving the Bitcoin banner with all the ferocity of a knight defending the realm. Now, he’s apparently sold on the idea of companies stacking ETH like it’s the latest fad-probably trying to outdo the Mars bars and fuzzy dice hanging from their dashboards. Pierre Rochard, an eager eavesdropper of the crypto grapevine, caught wind of his Mr. Hyde-to-Dr. Jekyll switch, and tweeted out a screenshot of the old vitriol versus the new evangelism. Fancy that, an ideological renaissance, or maybe just a sign that even tech oligarchs get tired of their own scripts! 📸

Apparently, the dream is to embed Bitcoin into every nook and cranny of the country’s financial fabric, making it the official currency of charm and chaos alike. Imagine deposits, loans, and investments-all jacked up in BTC – because what’s more reassuring than a currency as stable as a house of cards in a hurricane? 🌪️

Chief Strategy Officer Gary Deng told CoinDesk that Ethereum is “the world’s most mature smart contract platform.” Mature? Really? Have they met Ethereum lately? It’s like saying your weird uncle who collects stamps is “mature.” But sure, let’s go with it. 🙄

According to crypto.news data (because apparently we need a source for this financial theater), Ethereum has surged roughly 7% in the past 24 hours. It now trades slightly above $3,911, breaking free from its recent slump that dragged prices as low as $3,400. Truly, ETH is like a moody artist-down one moment, painting masterpieces the next. 🎨

“Trained on Azure,” the press release insists, as if Azure were a kindly boarding school and GPT-5 the head prefect who just figured out how to pick locks. It arrives brandishing “enhanced reasoning,” “smarter task execution,” and “contextual understanding” that can apparently decipher not only what you meant to type but also what you should have typed instead. Think grammar check, but with the internal monologue of a disappointed English professor.

In what sounds like a plot straight out of a financial soap opera, these two powerhouses decided to co-found Anchorpoint Financial Limited right there in the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. The mission? To go begging for a shiny stablecoin issuer license from the HKMA. You know, because issuing money isn’t complicated enough-now they want a license, too. They’re all about issuing and pushing stablecoins into the wild, wild west of finance, with all the regulatory hoop-jumping you could wish for.

Now the boulevard whispers with schemes anew! Shall BlackRock, the Titan of Trillions, descend from their marble towers to don the mask of the XRP ETF? Our sage jester Monsieur Nate Geraci, presiding over The ETF Store, regales us thus on the social stage:

After what seems like decades of courtroom circus, Ripple [XRP] and the SEC have thrown in the towel.
