Now, let’s talk about Bitcoin’s meteoric rise from $100,000 to a shiny new all-time high of $123,000. It’s like watching a soap opera, but with more numbers and fewer dramatic pauses. 📈 The Satoshimeter, crafted by the crypto wizard Stockmoney Lizard (yes, that’s a real name), is here to give us the lowdown on Bitcoin’s current stage in this market cycle. Spoiler alert: we’re not at the peak yet, so put away those party hats! 🎩

By tokenizing real-world assets, cryptocurrency platforms can provide more financial services for users. Because, you know, what the world really needed was more ways to speculate on the value of a used Toyota Corolla 🚗.

One might ask, what does a dog do with such an astronomical number of tokens? Why, it burns them, of course! The Shiba Inu burn strategy, a brilliant ploy to reduce the gargantuan supply and ostensibly increase the coin’s value, has seen the incineration of 410,752,071,267,334 SHIB, a staggering 41% of the original supply. According to the ever-watchful eyes of Shibburn, this is no small feat.

According to CoinGlass, this nonsense is worth $181.63 million. That’s not a number—it’s a cry for help. Open interest is just a fancy term for “people who forgot how to Google ‘risk disclaimer.’” And don’t get me started on the whales. They’ve hoarded 84.9 trillion SHIB on exchanges, probably planning a massive sell-off to fund their next yacht purchase. 🐋💰

As the global co-head of fixed income, currency, and commodities (a title so long it needs its own PR team), Sehgal has declared himself “definitely long stocks.” Because why wouldn’t you be? The earnings reports are practically waltzing in with “blockbuster good” news, and AI is apparently doing everything short of making him a cup of Earl Grey. ☕🤖

Oh, how times have changed! Back then, MicroStrategy was merely a humble software company before morphing into Strategy—a phoenix reborn with laser focus on hoarding BTC like a dragon guarding its golden hoard. And lo, just as Bitcoin dipped below $114,000 per coin, Saylor decided to revisit his poetic musings. At press time, BTC is trading at $113,375—a mere hiccup for the goddess of wisdom’s chosen swarm.

This was no small kind of buying spree, no sir. These Nasdaq-listed pioneers, ticker SBET, doubled down and doubled again on their Ethereum stash. And why not? As data flowed like a river, revealing their bulging trove, SharpLink’s ETH holdings now number over 464,000 — a river of digital currency worth about a billion and a half dollars, give or take a coffee or two. They’re chasing that salt-of-the-earth dream of becoming the fastest ETH accumulation crew in the wild west of crypto, led by Joseph Lubin—the man with a plan, and a weird fondness for speed.

But here’s the kicker: as we edge closer to the 2026 midterm elections, some folks in the crypto community are starting to raise their eyebrows. 🧐 MAGA Inc. has a bit of a reputation for holding back on spending during the midterms, preferring to save the big bucks for the 2024 presidential election. This strategy leaves us wondering if all this cash will actually do anything useful for pro-crypto candidates, or if it’s just going to sit in a vault somewhere, collecting dust. 💰🔒

According to the estimations supplied by Miss Xena’s camp, a person might procure a thousand XRP tokens today for roughly three thousand dollars—since each presently trades at around two dollars ninety-seven cents. Imagine, if the stars aligned and XRP could elevate itself to a thousand dollars a piece, that modest investment could be transformed into a million dollars faster than you can say “financial miracle.”

Data from SoSoValue — yes, that’s the name, no, it’s not a typo — showed that investors dumped a hefty $812 million from 12 US-listed Bitcoin ETFs in one fell swoop on August 1st. A grand day for a run-on, the worst since five months ago when everyone thought the sky was falling and the pigs were flying. Second-worst this year, just to keep things interesting like a soap opera.
