At the stroke of the pen, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at $87,700, a sum that leaves it 7.47% shy of its monthly peak and a full 30% below its all-time glory. Alas, the fickle hand of fate! 😢

So, here we are in 2025, and guess what? Record-breaking thefts in the crypto world! Seriously, $6.5 billion! Who knew digital wallets could be so generous? And wouldn’t you know it, the big boys from North Korea are behind most of this. I mean, come on-can’t a guy keep his Bitcoin? 🤔

Now here’s the twist: in the last 24 hours, our dear Cardano has seen more money float out than flow in! Outflows are up to $49.95 million, while inflows are only $47.32 million. A cheeky little signal that even as the crypto market is throwing a tantrum, Cardano looks like it’s ready for some fun! 🎉

Meanwhile, the INJ spot price has been cautiously tiptoeing back from recent lows, perhaps embarrassed by its earlier tumble, while the swear-it’s-only-a-boo, derivatives markets are kind of like a nervous kid at a fair-fidgeting and showing mixed signals. Total futures open interest is easing, but short-term derivatives activity is giving a little wink and a nod, suggesting there’s still some life in these crypto bones. 🦴

The wallets, nicknamed “0x58797” and “0x00a63”-which, I concede, sound like the product of an especially tedious cipher-initially received their bounty from the same generous hand, only to lie in wait, like a fox in the henhouse, until a single day’s activity summoned them back to life and dispatched their treasure toward the illustrious offshore exchange, OKX. One might suspect, with a tinge of skepticism-and perhaps with a pinch of admiration-that much ambition resides behind this sudden burst. 😉

SoFi (SOFI) has launched a U.S. dollar stablecoin, SoFiUSD, because why not make money transfers feel like a leisurely stroll instead of a marathon? It’s aiming to make your financial transactions as smooth as butter on a hot pancake.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics, those keepers of the numerical flame, delivered their report on Thursday. The CPI, usually a roaring lion, purred like a kitten. Economists, with their charts and graphs, had predicted a 3.1% climb, but the beast had other plans. The core rate, excluding the volatile food and energy, followed suit, falling to 2.6%. It’s as if the economy decided to take a nap. 😴

Liquidity, that fickle old friend, has left town, leaving Bitcoin to dance alone in the moonlight. Every step-a stumble. Every sale, a cannonball into a pond of whispers. And yet, the beast grows tamer by the day, tethered to the whims of traditional markets. Sell here, buy there-it’s all just a fancy game of hot potato with higher stakes and fewer potatoes.

Bitcoin has formed its fifth Golden Cross since 2020, a technical signal often followed by significant price rallies. Despite low market sentiment (because why not?), analysts suggest Bitcoin could rise by 45%-50%, potentially reaching $130,000. Let’s call it “optimistic chaos.”

The inaugural Blockchain 100 Award, a testament to those who, with the diligence of a scribe, promote crypto to the masses, thereby propelling the Web3 industry forward. A noble endeavor, though one might wonder if the organizers have ever considered a career in theatre. 🎭
