Pandl reckons a “supportive regulatory environment” is on the horizon. Translation: the government is finally catching up to the fact that crypto isn’t just for buying questionable NFTs. 🖼️ Plus, with fiat currencies weaker than a decaf latte, everyone’s looking for a better place to stash their cash. 💸
Enter Mindex, the state-run defense export agency, which has rolled out payment options enabling foreign governments to buy their arms with cryptocurrencies, barter arrangements, or good old Iranian rials. According to documents reviewed by the esteemed Financial Times, this policy has been operational for about a year. Just imagine the bargaining chips on the table! 💰
On a Friday, when the world was busy forgetting the week’s woes, Hong Kong’s BitVentures Limited announced its plunge into the Digital Assets arena. The board, in a fit of strategic enlightenment, approved the acquisition of cryptocurrency mining fleets, as if blockchain were the new black. 🖤
As is tradition with such grand releases, eyebrows were raised regarding potential sell pressure-after all, when one lets loose a horde of tokens, does it not invite the throngs to sell? However, fear not! The early murmurs within the blockchain indicate that Ripple’s usual playbook is in action, with many of those freshly freed tokens already being primed for a triumphant return to the vault. How utterly predictable! 🙄
From a technical standpoint (or as technical as a Discworld abacus can get), this makes a sort of sense. Usually, top-caps show a clear direction after five weeks of sideways shuffling. But this cycle? It’s been seven weeks, and the market’s still dithering like a noble trying to decide on a third breakfast. 🥓🤔
If approved, these funds will trade on NYSE Arca, offering a regulated path to altcoins that are currently more “mysterious” than a cat’s interest in a laser pointer. Investors, brace yourselves for a financial rollercoaster with a side of paperwork. 🎢📄
Because why settle for just one bottom when you can have two? It’s like those fancy double-decker buses but for price levels! 🚌
Crypto’s penchant for chaos has, for once, dialled down its mischief. PeckShield’s numbers reveal a mere $76 million in exploit losses for December-a 60% dip from November’s £194.27 million fiasco. One might say the villains are either on strike or simply out of ideas. 🤷♂️
In a world where Lighter DEX has been accused of cozying up to market makers like Jump Trading and Hayden Davis (the latter, you’ll recall, being the architect of the Libra debacle), Hyperliquid has chosen to throw shade-preferably in the form of a blocklist. “Integrity has always been one of Hyperliquid’s core values,” Mr. Yan declared, with the gravitas of a man who’s never once questioned his own judgment. After all, who needs private investors or protocol fees when you can have principles? 🎩
Analysts, those modern-day prophets in hoodies, are now whispering that this might be the start of something “big.” Like, “Oh, maybe PEPE won’t crash next Tuesday? Maybe it’ll just… yawn and sip chamomile tea?” I’m skeptical, but hey, I once trusted a Doge meme. Regret it like a bad tattoo.
