Ah, Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), the self-proclaimed “bitcoin treasury firm,” still clinging to its enterprise analytics software like a forgotten relic, saw its stock plummet on Thursday. Down it went, as much as 11.85%, during the afternoon’s trading farce. At $140.18, it flirted with the depths of its 52-week range, a tragicomic spectacle for all to behold.

The culprit? Bitcoin, of course, that fickle darling, dipping below $85,000. Strategy, with its colossal hoard, reacts like a puppet on a string, its stock swinging wilder than a circus acrobat.

the UAE’s tireless march towards being a global crypto hub. As institutional interest in stablecoins accelerates, moves such as Tether’s entrance with a U.S.‑compliant token and Fidelity’s FIDD launch add curious companions to the procession. Perhaps, in this grand theater, the audience will soon applaud not simply a token, but the very architecture of trust that stands behind it. And who knows-perhaps the commentators will add a little bite of sarcasm, whispering that the desert has finally found its very own “golden” currency for the age of digital transactions.

Issued on the twenty-eighth of January, this joint proclamation from the Divisions of Corporation Finance, Investment Management, and Trading and Markets reads like a treatise on the human condition, albeit one penned by a particularly pedantic notary.

Ah, Multiplifi, the DeFi protocol that’s been busier than a dwarf in a gold mine, has seen its total value locked (TVL) skyrocket to nearly $187 million. And no, it wasn’t because someone accidentally dropped their life savings into the wrong wallet. This was a deliberate, institutional-sized splash, thanks to tokenized real-world assets waltzing onto the platform faster than a troll chasing a free lunch.

Senator Cynthia Lummis confirmed the fanciful progress in a post on X, proclaiming the committee’s vote a “one step closer” to tipping the bill into the president’s desk-like a reluctant admirer placing a garment on the doorman.

Oh, but hold your horses! In just the last 24 hours, RIVER has decided to take a nosedive, dropping a cool 13%. Liquidity is packing its bags and leaving the market faster than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

The situation grew tenser than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs when President Trump decided to throw a tariff tantrum. His escalating drama sent ripples through the market, prompting investors to scurry toward safety like mice fleeing a hungry cat. And lo and behold, the question echoed through the halls: Are these tariffs giving XRP a swift kick where it hurts?

Hotard shows up just as Brussels is tinkering with its cybersecurity rules like a cheerful aunt adjusting the curtains: a bit of prudence, a splash of caution, and a strong belief that the neighbor’s Huawei gear should probably go to a different party. The European Commission proposed revisions to the EU Cybersecurity Act that would force operators to phase out equipment from “high‑risk” suppliers within 36 months. Huawei, for its part, argues the move is discriminatory and disproportionate, which is a fancy way of saying, “We don’t like being the bad guys in the story.”
