Ethereum’s latest drop is like a bad blind date: “It was fine until it wasn’t.” Now it’s $3,773 and counting, down 7% today and 12% this week. According to crypto.news, it’s basically the crypto version of a midlife crisis. (Minus the sports car.)

XRP, once flirting at over $2.40, now finds itself clinging at $2.28, nervously eyeing the $2 mark like someone eyeing the last slice of pizza. Meanwhile, BNB hovers near $1,070, Solana at $181, and Cardano sitting pretty at $0.62. Dogecoin, that meme coin with dreams, has tumbled to $0.18 – maybe it’s trying to audition for a new role as a penny. And TRON just kind of hangs out around $0.30, like that friend who doesn’t want to leave the party. 🎉

Ah, Florida, that bastion of eccentricity, proposing to endow its treasury with the fleeting sparkle of cryptocurrencies-how delightfully absurd! 🙄

Now, for those of you who are new to the cryptoverse (don’t worry, we’ll go easy on you), here’s where things get *extra* fun. ETHERNASYONAL has pointed out a “classic” Cup and Handle formation on Dogecoin’s price chart. This isn’t just your grandma’s tea set-this is a technical analysis pattern that crypto analysts *love* to talk about. Picture this: the “cup” is Dogecoin’s recovery from a prior low, like a phoenix rising from the ashes (not to be dramatic), and the “handle” is a brief pause before the inevitable rocket ship takes off. 🚀

To gauge gold’s mettle, one might compare it to the M2 money supply, that most estimable measure of circulation (cash, checking deposits, savings accounts-oh, the trifles!).

The Financial Stability Board (FSB)-funded by the *mysterious* Bank for International Settlements (BIS)-has pointed out that there are some pretty glaring gaps in the way governments are dealing with cryptocurrencies. Shocking, I know. 🧐

Well, Metaplanet, based in Tokyo (because where else do you expect these crypto geniuses to come from?), is having a bit of a moment. Their stock has plummeted faster than a crypto hype train, but luckily, their Bitcoin reserves are still stacked like a Tokyo skyscraper. Oh, and they’re trying to grow that pile without diluting their stock, which, let’s face it, is like trying to get rich without buying the lottery tickets. 🍀

Bitcoin dropped below $106,000 in early European hours Friday as leveraged traders once again faced heavy losses, with nearly $1.2 billion in crypto positions wiped out over the past 24 hours. 🎩💣

This isn’t just a glitch; it’s a masterclass in how to accidentally rewrite the global economy. If only they’d done it on purpose. “Oops, sorry, here’s your 300T,” said the universe, “but also here’s a 30,000% inflation rate. You’re welcome.”

Bloomberg, the bard of Wall Street’s fever dreams, claims Ripple will toss some of its *own* XRP into this digital vault. Bold move for a company sitting on 4.74 billion tokens-roughly $11 billion worth-while another 36 billion rot in escrow. A monopoly? No, just “strategic abundance” 😏.
