In a move that shocked absolutely no one (but still got a few “oohs” and “aahs”), Bullish (NYSE: BLSH) announced on Sept. 5 that its German sidekick, Bullish Europe GmbH, has been crowned by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) under the European Unionâs Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR). đ
Last week, WLFIâs project team, perhaps channeling the spirit of a stern schoolmaster, blacklisted Sunâs wallet. Naturally, Sun took to the noisy agora of social media to bewail this frostbitten fate, pleading for mercy and warning that such acts only sow seeds of mistrust among investors, who might prefer their tokens less encased in digital ice.
To make things even more interesting, the Nasdaq seems to have a soft spot for crypto treasury firms. Yes, they are into that now. Yesterday, in a completely unrelated twist, their big campaign to scrutinize crypto firms sent stock prices tumbling across the board. So, naturally, todayâs listing is like a much-needed cup of chamomile tea to calm things down.
This is the first Solana ETF ever, but letâs be real: itâs just a fancy way to say, âHey, invest your money while we stake it and hope the blockchain doesnât crash. You get 5.5-7.5% returns! Or a firework. Both are exciting!â đ
This act, resembling an old bureaucrat slamming shut his ledger with a self-satisfied grunt, instantly put $100 million out of reach-unless you can convince the contract itself to forgive. The crowd in the marketplace, always eager for drama, whispered that Sun himself had gone on a selling spree so wild, even Gogolâs notorious nose wouldâve sniffed it out before supper time. The fallout? Prices collapsed faster than a government promise during Lent.
The internet, ever so classy, immediately picked up on the juicy tidbits and started asking the million-dollar question: “When will we get our spot ETFs for XRP, huh?” Spoiler alert: the answerâs probably not tonight.
The hosts, two weary sages in corduroy, summoned David Hartmann, a man who spoke of XRP like it was the last loaf of bread in a breadless world. âItâs a bridge,â he said, as if crossing a chasm with a stick and a prayer.
Enter Joao Wedson, a man with a plan (and a very catchy name) who believes Bitcoinâs future is tied to one thing: its four-year cycle. Now, heâs predicting that Bitcoinâs bubble might just pop around 2026, and not gently, mind you – think more of a $50,000 floor and less of a soft landing. You see, Bitcoin tends to peak around 18 months after its halving events (which, by the way, sounds like the title of a medieval fantasy novel). According to Wedson, this time wonât be different – or at least, thatâs what history would suggest. Hold onto your digital wallets, folks.
Sentiment has been as lively as a graveyard lately, but whispers of new upgrades have begun to stir the crypts. Could this be the resurrection weâve all been waiting for? Or just another false prophet promising salvation?
Take gold, for instance: it has the enchanted guardians called central banks, those tireless hoarders who hurry to fill their vaults as if the apocalypse were nigh. Stocks, on the other hand, have pension and sovereign funds, those kindly aunts and uncles who love to compound and patiently wait for their spoils. And then there is crypto – poor, lonely crypto. It has none of this affection. The only children at its dinner table are the very companies that swoon and faint alongside their digital coins.
