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 🐱.

On the daily chart shared by analysts (who may or may not have had too much coffee), we see what appears to be a bull flag formation-an elegant signal of upward ambition if you squint just right. The price action tightens like a corset at a ball, highs and lows inching closer together as though engaged in polite conversation. Is this consolidation building momentum for a breakout? Or merely the market catching its breath before another nap? Ah, the suspense is thicker than porridge on a winter morning! 🥶

The drama began when the infamous YouTuber Clive Thompson made a splash, alleging that Tether’s quarterly attestations revealed a mass Bitcoin sell-off. According to Clive’s impeccable “math,” Tether’s stash had dwindled from a robust 92,650 BTC in Q1 to a mere 83,274 BTC by Q2 of 2025. Cue the Twitter frenzy: had Tether secretly decided to offload their precious Bitcoin while everyone else was busy hoarding their sats? 🤔

While Bitcoin’s (BTC) price has pulled back recently, it remains much higher than the year-to-date low. A minor stumble for a digital asset that’s mastered the art of being both a speculative gamble and a store of value. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs continue to add assets this year, with their cumulative inflows rising by $54 billion since January last year. One wonders if the inflows are from investors or just confused algorithms. 🤖

Bitwise, WisdomTree, and six other “crypto gurus” are playing dress-up with their S-1 filings, all eyeing October like it’s the last slice of pizza at a party. The SEC’s recent Ripple dismissal? Just a warm-up act for this ETF circus. 🎪

Metaplanet, not content with mere handfuls, gathered unto itself a hoard of Bitcoin numbering 20,000-valued beyond two billion weary dollars-like a miser clutching gold coins beneath his tattered coat, all in the pursuit of a treasury strategy as unyielding as a steadfast general in the face of despair.

Investors, ever the opportunists, are scooping up XRP at bargain prices, their eyes gleaming with visions of future riches. 💰 The irony? The more they accumulate, the more they seem to believe in a price rebound. 🤨

So, the NFT market is tanking harder than my New Year’s resolutions, and yet, somehow, CryptoPunks are still the cool kids at the party. Meanwhile, Ethereum is leading sales like it’s the only one who brought snacks, but even it’s down 29.88%. Wash trading? Down 68.03%. Guess someone finally realized it’s just digital money laundering. 🧼💸
