Now, the on-chain data whispers (or rather, shouts in a loud, drunken voice) that those weak weeks might be over. The big fish-or should we say, whales-have started splashing their cash around. But, as usual, the smaller fry are selling like there’s no tomorrow, keeping the breakout as tidy as a goblin’s accounting. 🤑

Launched in September 2024, World Liberty Financial was brought forth into this world by the industrious Messrs. Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the young Barron Trump. On the first of September, their WLFI token made its debut. A most fortuitous deal in August with Alt5 Sigma, a firm of some repute in Las Vegas, bestowed upon the family a sum of $670 million through token sales and share swaps. A windfall, indeed! 🌟

These cryptic signals, as enigmatic as the riddles of the Sphinx, seem to suggest a rising tide of buyer confidence, while their less fortunate counterparts face the mounting pressure of selling forces. 🌊

Monsieur Cipolaro, global sage and number-wrangler of the firm, observes-no doubt with a sigh robbed from the heart-that the delicious gap betwixt price and value for these Bitcoin-loving companies has narrowed most ominously, even as the coin itself was recently flaunting new heights like a bold peacock in spring.

At press time, Somnia trades at $1.67, up a staggering 39%. The token, ever the drama queen, soared from $1.04 to $1.84 before its inevitable pullback. Now, it languishes 12.5% below its peak, no doubt plotting its next grand entrance. 🎭

The Crypto Assets Task Force at the SEC isn’t messing around. They’re waving a big red flag that by 2028, these quantum beasts could go all “Terminator” on our beloved blockchain protocols. The stuff that’s supposedly “unhackable” might as well be a piñata at a toddler’s birthday party soon.

Enter Axel Adler, the Cassandra of crypto metrics, armed with insights from the Bitcoin UTXO Age Metrics. His findings? Long-term holders (LTHs), those venerable sages of the blockchain, are now behaving like teenagers at a garage sale-offloading their prized possessions to anyone foolish enough to buy them 🛒. Historically, such behavior has heralded periods of downside pressure, as the market struggles to absorb the influx of long-held coins. It seems even the most stoic hodlers cannot resist the siren call of profit-taking when prices flirt with all-time highs.

And yet, beyond the shallow thrills of technical analysis, something rather tragic brews: XRP’s payments activity, once lively and numerous like guests at a provincial wedding, has shriveled by over 70% in a month. On September 8, 2025, only 221,000 daily transactions shuffled between accounts-down from a boisterous 750,000 in August, as reported by the ever-dour XRP Ledger. One must ask, with a sigh: what good is a coin that no one bothers to pass around? Somewhere, a ledger weeps quietly. 📚😢

The open letter, crafted on X from Leonidas, host of The Ordinal Show-much like an edgy playwright crafting a polemic-burst forth this past Saturday amidst a high drama within the Bitcoin community. Here lies a battleground of ideologies: should node validators nurture peer-to-peer financial transactions while casting aside-or at least disregarding-those gargantuan data transactions, akin to a bulky antique radio squashing the room’s aesthetic, known as pictures, videos, or documents, which detractors decry as mere spam?

According to whispers carried by the Hong Kong Economic Journal (because who doesn’t love a good financial gossip?), no fewer than 77 institutions have already raised their hands like eager schoolchildren, clamoring for a chance at this shiny new toy. ICBC (Asia) has donned its application hat alongside BOC Hong Kong, while HSBC-ever the overachiever-has also sauntered into the fray with all the nonchalance of a cat deciding whether or not to grace you with its presence 🐱.
