With this precious blessing, over half a billion investors spread across 30 countries are now free to get their hands on U.S. stocks and ETFs directly via the blockchain. According to the press release (because who wouldn’t want to read it), this approval comes via a European passporting system, which means it’s all as legit as your grandma’s stamp collection. Ondo now has the green light to offer a “safe” and “regulated” way for retail investors in Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway (bless their hearts) to trade tokenized financial products. So much for keeping the old world simple.

To bestow upon us mortals the sacred gift of “Crypto Credentials”-verified aliases that shall rid our lives of the tyranny of hexadecimal strings. One can only wonder if the architects of this system have ever met a keyboard, for their solution is as elegant as a babushka’s knitting. 🧶

Market volatility returns, and with it, the eternal question: Will Bitcoin crash again? While headlines scream about price, the real drama lies in Bitcoin’s network-a relic of the 2008 financial crisis, now struggling to keep up with 2025’s frenetic pace. 🕰️

Ah, bear markets-those sly, sneaky creatures. Especially when it comes to Bitcoin, they arrive with a dramatic flourish of disbelief. Remember November 2021? 🗓️ Everyone was waiting for the grand finale, the blow-off top, but instead, the price just slithered away like a snake in the grass, leaving behind a trail of tears and a ruinous bear market.
