Fundstrat, that paragon of crypto wisdom, stands as a lighthouse in the fog of uncertainty, its CIO Tom Lee a bard of bullish ballads. In days of yore (2017, to be precise), he exhorted investors to allocate mere 1-2% of their portfolios to Bitcoin, a sum so modest it would make a peasant blush. Lo and behold! That “modest” BTC, once a humble sapling, now towers as a 100x titan. A tale of patience, perhaps, or a lesson in the folly of underestimating a digital asset’s potential.

Ah, Bitcoin, thou art a tempestuous lover, churning in choppy waters, unable to breach the $90K-$91K barrier. And backwardation? It screams, “Beware, derivatives are afoot!” 🌊⚠️

The stock, that fragile creature of shareholder hope, has plummeted like a drunkard’s last coin purse. Critics, armed with spreadsheets and hubris, brandish their knives, howling that Saylor’s Bitcoin obsession is a fool’s errand. But the man himself, with the air of a prophet in a world of skeptics, scoffs at their panic. “We are indestructible,” he proclaims, as if the universe itself must bow to his will. Or perhaps he’s just sleep-deprived. 🤷

The bigwigs in their Wall Street suits ain’t blind-Solana’s spot ETFs have raked in $420M in inflows, a number so nice they’ve said it twice. That’s right, institutional dip-buying is in full swing, and the futures market? Open interest is back above $7B, with funding rates flipping positive faster than a pancake at a church breakfast. 🥞

According to the scribes at crypto.news, WBT danced to an all-time high of $62.96 on Nov. 18, before settling at $60.11-a mere mortal price. At this juncture, the token, born of European ambition, boasts a 45% leap from its October slumber and a 150% resurrection from its yearly nadir. With a market cap of $12.9 billion, it now sits at the 13th throne of the crypto kingdom. Crown it, if you dare! 👑💰

“We have failed you, O ye faithful minions!” A confession as rare as a polite tax collector. 🧾 The culprit? A “latent bug” in their bot-mitigation machinery-a gremlin of code, playing cello in the orchestra of chaos. 🐛

By November 2025 (yes, you read that right, that’s future), users had already zumped over $690M in stablecoins through Polygon. That’s roughly enough to buy a private island, if you’re into that kind of thing. And with 65 million Revolut fans across 38 countries, we’re talking about a monumental leap into the “seriously, this is happening” zone. It’s like putting a Tesla engine in your grandma’s shopping cart-futuristic AND functional ✨🚗.

And what better way to make the world a better place than shifting gears from churning out raw hashes to designing chips that actually care? Imagine the CEO, Val Vavilov, gazing thoughtfully at their factory, saying, “Let’s serve humanity, or at least make it less guilty about their energy bills.” Because nothing says moral superiority like cooling systems for AI data centers and compliance tools that scream, “We’re doing this responsibly!”

According to two officials who’ve clearly mastered the art of secrecy, the Finance Ministry is musing about slapping taxes on crypto transactions used for international payments. A noble endeavor, no doubt, akin to trying to catch smoke with a net. 🧨

The State of New Hampshire has made a critical advance in digital finance. The state’s Business Finance Authority (BFA) approved a first-of-its-kind $100 million bond. This is a special bitcoin-backed conduit bond. As a result, the state is creating a link between the old debt markets and digital assets. 🤯
