Oh, GameStop. The video game retailer that thought it could moon with Bitcoin. On-chain data just spilled the tea: all their BTC is now chilling at Coinbase Prime, the place where crypto goes to die-or at least get sold. CryptoQuant says this move screams “I’m out,” but let’s be real, we’ve all made bad decisions after a few drinks (or in GameStop’s case, a $2.25 billion convertible note sale).
Word on the street is that our gallant Ledger, the protector of digital treasures, is preparing for a magnificent debut in the U.S. stock market, hoping to dazzle us all with a valuation that could exceed $4 billion. Fancy, isn’t it?
Recently, the price of XRP has shifted from rising to falling. We’ve seen a series of peaks, each lower than the last, suggesting a change in momentum. The price previously paused and built up at certain levels, but those levels now act as ceilings, preventing further increases. After a significant drop, XRP has been trading within a wide range, consistently bouncing off its upper and lower limits as it continues to move downwards.
Apparently, poor old Trump and his merry band of LLCs (that’s Limited Liability Companies, not Laughing Like Clowns, though the latter might be more fitting) were shown the door by JPMorgan back in 2021. “Political shenanigans!” he cries, pointing his stubby finger at the post-Jan. 6 climate. “They’ve gone and de-risked me like I’m a dodgy crypto scheme!”
SoSoValue, that oracle of numbers, proclaims that the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. bled $32 million on Thursday, Jan. 22. BlackRock’s IBIT, with its august name, led the exodus with $22.3 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC trailed like a hapless sidekick with $9.7 million. The others? Silent as a Gogol protagonist lost in thought.
As the whispers of fate would have it, our beloved Binance has indeed sent forth its application to the Hellenic authorities under the grandiloquent Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, a name that rolls off the tongue like a fine Greek wine. They have not only filled out their forms but also established a local holding company, cleverly dubbed Binary Greece- a name that sounds like it could be a contestant on a game show about financial wits!
Upon gazing at the 4-hour time frame for our beloved $BTC, one might discern the emergence of a most ominous bear pennant. Should this dark cloud fulfill its prophecy, we could witness a crash that sends us spiraling down to the depths of $80,000-a level that mirrors the nadir of our current distribution debacle. The price action now teeters at the very edge of this pennant, as if on the brink of a comedic fall. Should it stumble through and be confirmed below, oh dear Bitcoin holders, brace yourselves! Perhaps this is merely a final jig to rid the market of those investors lacking true steadfastness!
In a post that could only be described as the crypto equivalent of a late-night infomercial, Qubic announced: “The community didn’t hesitate. The vote was decisive: DOGE won with 301 votes.” Wow, 301 votes. That’s roughly the number of people who show up to a PTA meeting, but sure, let’s call it a mandate. “This isn’t a plug-and-play upgrade,” they added, because apparently, integrating ASIC hardware into uPoW is harder than assembling an IKEA bookshelf without the instructions. Who knew?
Kingsport, a jewel in Tennessee’s crown, populous and crypto-friendly, has with unanimous fervor embraced an ordinance that paves the way for data centers and crypto mining sites. So says the local scribes, ever vigilant in their chronicles. The decree is clear: crypto miners may dwell within the city’s embrace, provided they are ensconced in fully enclosed buildings, at a respectful distance of 500 feet from the slumbering residences.
For those engaged in the delightfully illicit world of cryptocurrency – a realm already steeped in a charming air of mystery – a VPN is less an affectation and more a sensible precaution. Wallet access, exchange logins… such details are far too interesting to leave exposed to the vulgar gaze of the unprotected internet. A VPN provides a layer of obfuscation, a veil of respectability, if you will. Though, one shudders to think what sort of individuals require such discreet protection. That being said, let us examine the top six purveyors of this digital subterfuge, as of January 2026.
