In a twist of fate, a16z has pledged to lock these tokens away for three years, as if they were a prized possession in a wizard’s vault. 🧙‍♂️

Now, the central bank is pacing nervously, probably sipping artisanal mate, wondering if they should step in and buy dollars like it’s Black Friday, just to keep the peso feeling a bit weaker — because, you know, pride and all that. But President Javier Milei is playing hard to get: “Not until that sucker drops below 1,000 pesos per dollar,” he says, probably with a smirk and a dramatic pause for effect. 🎭

According to Coinbase’s announcement, they’ve made some, let’s say, *technical* improvements to their Solana setup. For those who like numbers (which may or may not include you), here’s the fun bit: they’ve increased block processing throughput by five times. Yes, five! It’s like giving a cheetah a Red Bull. 🐆💥 And if that wasn’t enough, they’ve introduced bare metal machines that improve RPC (Remote Procedure Call) performance by four times. We’re talking supercharged servers here.

Bloomberg spilled the beans that with this shiny new badge, Hidden Road can now strut its stuff for the big kids—prime brokerage, clearing, financing—you name it! Fixed-income assets? Oh yeah, they’re in the money-making game now, like a Hollywood agent but for bonds and stuff.

Just as the bewildered investor was about to believe in a comeback, along came a brisk $169.87 million exodus, as if the market had suddenly recalled all of its regrets with impeccable timing. That fleeting two-day flirtation with optimism now lies dashed, a grim reminder that fortunes here are as stable as a soufflé in a gale.

These two geniuses are launching a tokenized portfolio of commercial and multifamily properties all over the good ol’ U.S. of A. How, you ask? Simple. They’re using Blocksquare’s magic blockchain infrastructure. Don’t worry, you don’t have to understand it. Just know that it’s going to change the way we own real estate—without buying the whole building! 🏢💰

Instead, it turns out that gold, the ancient shiny rock that’s been around forever, is back in style. In fact, gold’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are seeing steady, almost excessive, inflows—like a high school prom king soaking up all the attention. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs are seeing outflows like a water slide with no brakes. Talk about a popularity crisis.
