In their missive, ABIB asserts that the article portrays Bitcoin (BTC) as a fickle companion, prone to wild fluctuations and consorting with criminals, while utterly disregarding its virtues in energizing grids and aiding humanitarian causes. 🌍💡
Trump, with the subtlety of a toddler in a toy store, greeted Hassett as a “potential Fed chair,” leaving the markets to scramble like cats chasing a laser pointer. “It’s a great group, and I guess a potential Fed chair is here too,” he said, possibly with a mischievous grin under that ever-present squint. “I don’t know, are we allowed to say that, potential? He’s a respected person, that I can tell you. Thank you, Kevin.” Because nothing says “decisive leadership” like hedging your bets with a side of “maybe, maybe not.”
By hitching its wagon to the Solana blockchain, Kalshi now dances cheek-to-cheek with Polymarket, the on-chain rival, in a liquidity arms race that would make a Soviet five-year plan blush. Users trade “yes” and “no” like ideological manifestos, while bots and AMMs sip tea and whisper, “At last, a market where even the spreads are democratized.” ☕
This metamorphosis, from a Bitcoin-Ethereum duet to a cacophonous symphony of altcoins, mirrors the market’s frantic attempt to outpace its own tail. The ETF, now a veritable carnival of digital assets, offers investors a single ticket to a circus where Cardano, Solana, and XRP juggle market caps with the precision of a drunken acrobat. And Dogecoin? Ah, the golden retriever of cryptos, shedding its meme-sheen to don a bow tie, albeit slightly askew.
According to Kraken’s announcement, this acquisition will fuel their tokenized equity platform, xStocks. And lo and behold, xStocks just surpassed a whopping $10 billion in total trading volume in November! Who says blockchain is just for coins and coffee-fueled ideas? ☕💸
And here we are. The three-year saga of the Fed pulling $2.39 trillion from the financial system, draining it like the last drop of a cheap bottle of vodka, has finally come to an end. That’s right. The largest liquidity withdrawal in history. And what are they doing now? Freezing Treasury runoff and continuing to drain mortgage-backed securities at a rate of $35 billion a month. Because why not make things interesting? With bank reserves hanging around $2.89 trillion, officials were getting nervous. Imagine the chaos if they’d kept going-oh wait, that’s exactly what some of us wanted to see.
This drama unfolds as the crypto market, a mere $3 trillion in value (how quaint!), attempts to dust itself off after a tumble down the stairs of fortune. Oh, the tragedy! Yet, our hero CrediBULL insists that speculation is not crypto’s scarlet letter but the very lifeblood of all markets. Gold, that shiny rock of yore, saw its value double without so much as a whisper of increased utility. Sentiment, my dear, is the true alchemist here, turning dross into dollars.
Since their debut, the net inflow of over $600 million makes them the belle of the crypto ball, drawing attention beyond the usual suspects of BTC and ETH – who are busy bleeding out like spoiled brats spoiled. Franklin Templeton’s chutzpah in submitting an SEC ETF application indicates that, yes, investors still want a slice of that programmable blockchain pie – without the hassle of actually owning it. Genius, really.
The first trading day of December delivered a mixed tone across the crypto ETF markets, a veritable circus of resilience and stumble, as investors, ever the fickle ones, repositioned themselves in anticipation of the year’s grand finale. Bitcoin ETFs, ever the paragons of prudence, maintained their positive stance, while ether products, in a fit of pique, tumbled into deep withdrawals. Solana funds, having enjoyed a brief stint in the spotlight, reversed their recent strength with a sharp outflow, much to the dismay of their admirers. 📉
Our man Cramer, ever the visionary, plans to discuss Bitcoin’s “support” level-a term that, in crypto circles, sounds as reliable as a bridge made of spaghetti. Since Nov. 13, Bitcoin has languished below the $100,000 psychological barrier, much like a poet denied a muse. Market participants, it seems, are less than thrilled with this poetic impasse.
