Now, old bean, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill single-asset contract. Oh no, this one’s weighted by market capitalization, which is all very clever and modern. And let me tell you, the interest in these shenanigans is through the roof, with CME reporting a 43% uptick in average daily trading volume since the start of the year. Dash it all, the crypto crowd is a lively bunch!

Bitcoin holders who’ve kept their coins for a long time – and have seen their holdings grow to almost 4 million tokens since the end of 2025 – are now starting to cash out around $180 million in profits each day. This comes after Bitcoin hit a high of over $82,000 on May 11th, then dipped to the $79,000 range by Thursday.

On Wednesday, Bitcoin briefly danced above the $80,000 mark, extending its jolly good run near historic highs, even as its short-term momentum showed signs of flagging, much like a chap who’s run out of steam after a spirited game of cricket. According to the chaps at ChainCatcher, BTC/USDT was trading at a tidy $80,023.10, down a mere 0.32% over the previous 24 hours-a trifling decline, really.

The recent changes in the MBA market are leading people to wonder if it’s facing a major decline, or if it’s just adjusting its prices. Most tuition discounts are happening at business schools that aren’t considered top-tier. Additionally, the rise of artificial intelligence has diminished the value of the practical skills that an MBA used to guarantee.

USDH, Hyperliquid’s ambitious but tragically short-lived stablecoin, is being phased out after just seven months. It’s like the crypto version of a one-season Netflix show-gone before you even got attached.

Grove, a company specializing in blockchain-based credit, announced a new service on Thursday that lets investors quickly convert their holdings in funds that deal with real-world assets (like property or commodities) into stablecoins. They’re starting with the ability to provide up to $1 billion in liquidity each day.

Ah, the irony! Turnkey, a child of former Coinbase Custody apparatchiks, Bryce Ferguson and Jack Kearney, has convinced the likes of Bain Capital Crypto, Lightspeed Faction, and Galaxy Ventures to part with their rubles. $30 million here, $15 million there-soon, even the most hardened capitalist begins to resemble a generous comrade.

Introduced with great fanfare in 2025, BitMEX’s Copy Trading feature allows the uninitiated to mimic the moves of their supposed superiors. And for the truly contrarian, the Reverse Copy function permits one to bet against these very same luminaries. A stroke of genius, no doubt, though one wonders if it is wisdom or madness that drives such innovation. Also available is the copying of Hyperliquid traders, a feature that promises “advanced profit opportunities” within the safety of the BitMEX platform. Safety, of course, being a relative term in this wild west of finance.

CoinGecko monitors over 17,000 different cryptocurrencies, including well-known ones like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as newer types like DeFi tokens, AI projects, and even meme coins. With so many options, it’s important for CoinGecko to keep everything organized.

In a recent missive on the ever-chattering platform X, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment-those modern-day oracles of the blockchain-has deigned to inform us of the latest trend among the mid-to-large holders of XRP. The “Supply Distribution,” a metric as dry as a witless socialite’s humor, reveals the number of wallets belonging to this esteemed cohort. Addresses, you see, are grouped by the number of tokens they cradle in their digital bosoms. The 1 to 10 coins group, for instance, is but a plebeian affair, while the 10,000+ coins group is the true arena of the audacious.
