The trading room is a meeting place for market makers, where frontline trading of foreign exchange, bonds, and derivatives takes place. An official of the bank noted that the initiative is in response to the growing prominence of crypto. One wonders if they’ve finally realized that ignoring Bitcoin is as effective as pretending the internet doesn’t exist. 🤯
So, AlphaTON is tiny, like “I just learned to walk” tiny, but guess what? They’re aiming to raise more than $420 million. Yeah, that’s more than most mid-cap tech giants pull in. It’s like the neighbor kid saying he’s going to build Elon Musk’s spaceship. Just because the law says “baby-shelf” is off doesn’t mean the money’s falling from the sky, but they’re hopeful. And if they pull it off, they’re gonna pour that cash into beefing up Telegram’s AI infrastructure and buying more TON tokens. Because who doesn’t want to buy more tokens, right? 🚀
Kraken, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to cater to people who think their crypto portfolio gives them a special parking spot in heaven. The “elite” program launched on December 4, 2025 (because who wasn’t waiting for that?), requires you to either have $10 million just lying around or trade $80 million a year (because who doesn’t have that in their spare change?). Now you can brag about your “dedicated relationship manager,” which is just a fancy term for someone who will probably forget your name by Tuesday. Also, enjoy “global experiences” like Formula 1 events-nothing says “exclusive” like elbowing other rich people in a stadium while yelling at a car race. 🏎️🙄

Starting in 2026, CNBC will have real-time forecasts on “Squawk Box”-because nothing says “financial expertise” like predicting the future with a ticker that’s probably wrong. 🕒💸
Ethereum (ETH/USD) has been gradually decreasing in value, as shown on its daily price chart. The price is now nearing a “supply zone” between $3,500 and $3,700 – an area where there’s typically more selling than buying, potentially leading to a price pause or drop. A key support level – a price point where the value is likely to bounce back – sits between $2,400 and $2,550, a level that previously helped fuel Ethereum’s price increase.
Under this new regulatory wonderland, companies with a DCM license or DCO designation can now legally offer spot crypto trading. Because why trust anyone without a fancy acronym, right? 🤷♂️
Acting CFTC Chair Caroline D. Pham just dropped a tweet that’s got the crypto community buzzing louder than a Bitcoin ATM at 3 AM. “We’re reclaiming our crypto throne,” she declared. Translation: “We’re about to add 10,000 pages of paperwork to your transactions.” 🧾
