As of 8:13 p.m., it appears XRP is currently hovering around the $1.95 mark against the U.S. dollar. Quite a slide, wouldn’t you say? This decline coincides with a general reluctance to embrace cryptocurrencies, with the total market capitalization shrinking to a mere $3.12 trillion. A deeply uninspiring figure, I must confess. Price made a rather decisive break from a narrow band near $2.04-$2.06, plummeting like a stone and seemingly handing control over to the sellers. A bit one-sided, if I may say so.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs had their best week in ages, like that time you finally fit into your skinny jeans after the holidays. 🎉 Turns out, institutions were just doing their taxes in January-how quaint! Now they’re back, wallets open, ready to dance. 💃

Yakovenko, with the fervor of a revolutionary, declares that Solana must evolve endlessly, lest it wither like a forgotten manuscript. “To stop is to die,” he proclaims, his words echoing through the halls of crypto Twitter. Meanwhile, Buterin, the philosopher-king, envisions Ethereum as a monument-immutable, trustless, and free from the shackles of constant change.

In the last twelve hours, no less than $528,940 has been… disposed of, through liquidations, with the long positions suffering a most grievous loss – a staggering $522,900! The poor short sellers, it seems, have barely felt a tremor, amounting to a trifling $6,040, according to CoinGlass. One can only imagine the consternation amongst those who purchased high!

Yes, you heard it right! Our former commander-in-tweet plans to unleash his legal eagles on JPMorgan, claiming they severed ties with him faster than a speeding bullet post-January 6. Because who wouldn’t want to keep their financial affairs intact after a little insurrection?

Key takeaways (because existence demands bullet points):

XRP and Ethereum have been showing a steady growth trajectory, much like a stubborn weed in a concrete jungle, despite the ever-growing chatter about regulatory storms brewing on the horizon. 🌧️

Yes, that’s right. The blockchain, once the shining hope of anarchist coders and libertarian dreamers, now teeters on the edge of incomprehensibility. Like a Victorian mansion filled with inherited heirlooms no one dares discard, Ethereum has become so stuffed with features, cryptographic incantations, and legacy code that even its creators now whisper, “What in the Turing Award did we do?” Mr. Buterin, in a rare moment of lucidity (and possibly sobriety), has declared that progress may not, in fact, consist of adding more baffling nonsense. Imagine! 🔮

On the 17th, as bureaucrats elsewhere shuffled papers and sighed, SAND broke free from its consolidation chains-a gulag of sideways motion-and surged past the 20-day and 50-day EMAs, those dreary Soviet checkpoints that once stifled optimism. The people, weary of breadlines and bear markets, raised their fists (and leverage) in solidarity. ✊

On Friday the 16th, the blockchain’s most grumpy analyst, CryptoQuant, declared in its report that Bitcoin’s demand conditions are “less negative” since its recent $97k sprint. This comes after they confidently announced the start of a bear market when BTC dipped below the 365-day moving average-a line so sacred it should be enshrined in a gold-plated teacup. But alas, Bitcoin’s been climbing since November 2025 like a toddler on a trampoline, up 21% so far. Progress? Perhaps. Hope? Not really. 🤷♂️
