LIT Token Crashes 15%-And No, It’s Not Because of Aliens (Probably) 🛸

Crypto ETFs: The Billion-Dollar FOMO Party 🎉💸

Bitcoin ETFs are still the life of the party, even when Bitcoin itself is sulking in the corner below its local highs.

Bitcoin Rises While Haters Cluck-Could This Cluckin’ Good Rally Reach $100K? 🐔💸

This awkward disconnect-price going up, everyone going MIA-is the crypto version of leaving your gym clothes on the living room couch and hoping no one notices. If you’ve ever owned a dog that fake-laughs at your takes until the paraquat kicks in, you know how this feels. The Santiment index is currently screaming “FRAID ME!” like a parrot who’s seen one too many bad TikTok trends while BTC just smugly tries on its $100K hat. You know it will look cute.

Bitwise Unveils 7 Crypto ETPs in Sweden-Regulated Access Sparks Buzz

Bitwise extends its hand into Europe with new physically backed crypto ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm, a deliberate invitation to Swedish investors to sample regulated digital wealth-without the need for a passport or a search for a foreign broker, and yes, with fewer mysterious charge codes. 😏 The announcements arrived from Nasdaq on Jan. 14, a date that might be remembered the way a chilly dawn is remembered-clear and a touch unexpected.

Silver price surge chart

Picture it: January 2026. Silver prices are moonwalking toward $92 like they’ve got rockets strapped to ’em. CME Group, sensing blood in the water-or maybe just a chance to mint fees-rolls out a tinier futures contract. Because nothing says “democracy” like letting your cousin Larry bet his stimulus check on metal. Jin Hennig, the Global Head of Metals (a title so specific it sounds made up), claims:
