Korea’s Stablecoin Drama: Banks, Tech & Political Shenanigans! 💰

Behind closed doors-where all the best political intrigue occurs-lawmakers settled the rather tedious dispute over who ought to issue won-based stablecoins.

Saudi’s Hidden Treasure: 11 Million Tonnes of Gold, Silver & More! 🏴‍☠️

AMAK, or as they like to call themselves-Almasane Al Kobra Mining Company-has gone ahead and whispered to the world that they’ve spotted a hefty heap of minerals in Najran, covering a modest square mileage of 274. kilometers, if you’re wondering.

BTC News: Strategy Will Sell Bitcoin Only if mNAV Falls and No Capital is Available

Strategy CEO, Phong Le, has solemnly stated that the company will only entertain the idea of selling Bitcoin if its stock nosedives below its net asset value (mNAV) and, of course, if all other capital sources vanish into thin air.

When Grayscale unleashed its Spot DOGE fund (GDOG) on November 24, the inflows were about as impressive as a one-legged man at a butt-kicking contest-just $1.8 million on day one. Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s ETF guru, predicted a $12 million bonanza, but apparently, investors were too busy chasing Solana and XRP ETFs to notice. According to SoSoValue, the total inflows for the first week were a measly $2.16 million. Talk about a meme coin with commitment issues! 😅
