This announcement follows a most curious surge of enthusiasm for VIRTUAL, which, ’tis said, reached a peak not seen in three moons, all thanks to bustling commerce upon the ‘chain’ and a few sly alliances forged of late.

But, alas! As is often the case when things go exceptionally well in this fickle financial fairground, the jubilation took a swift nosedive – quite expectedly, it must be said. Both assets have since donned the red, appearing rather embarrassed to be seen at the ticker tape’s party. 😰

The rapid integration of blockchain-based assets and stablecoins is redefining how money moves across borders, prompting Western Union (NYSE: WU) to adjust its long-term strategy. During its third-quarter 2025 earnings call on Oct. 23, the global remittance provider presented a detailed plan to embed blockchain infrastructure and stablecoin settlement mechanisms directly into its financial systems. This initiative signals a structural evolution aimed at lowering settlement costs, improving transaction efficiency, and modernizing Western Union’s global payments architecture as digital finance accelerates worldwide-though one might wonder if they’ve finally found a use for their ancient telegraph lines. 📡

XRP’s price made a comeback, managing to stay above $2.40. In case you didn’t notice, Bitcoin and Ethereum also decided to show up to the party.

Bloomberg’s erudite Senior ETF Analyst, Eric Balchunas, has confirmed that the NYSE is diligently granting certificates to a new crop of crypto ETFs-Bitwise’s Solana (SOL), Grayscale’s GSOL, and their ilk. It appears they’re all lining up to pirouette onto the grand stage, barring a last-minute apparition of the SEC’s shadowy intervention. But one suspect remains conspicuously absent: XRP. The community is left to ponder, with a soupçon of sarcasm, whether the SEC is perhaps too busy playing hide-and-seek with the elusive piece of the puzzle.

Approximately 83.6% of the Bitcoin populace is presently basking in profits, though one must be cautious not to be overexcited-exceeding 95% might turn the room into quite a combustive spectacle.

Revealed in a report so diligently compiled by Reuters, this partnership is set to be the guardians of two new paragons of digital thought-supercomputers by the quaint names of Lux and Discovery. These electronic sentinels, akin to the giant turtles from Russian lore, will undertake quests to conquer the grand challenges of our day, from imitating the Herculean task of fusion energy, to the delicate art of cancer treatment, and the mysterious realm of drug discovery, not to mention their duties in the high-stakes chess game of national security.

Selig, with the fervor of a man who has seen the light-or perhaps just the glow of a crypto wallet-confirmed his nomination on X (formerly Twitter, now a digital cesspool of half-truths and memes). He vows to toil endlessly, like a Sisyphus of the markets, to make America the “crypto capital of the world.” Ah, the sweet delusions of grandeur! 🌍💰

On-chain data, that most reliable of diviners, reveals a pattern as clear as a foggy London morning: when Bitcoin’s supply in profit exceeds 95%, the market enters a feverish state akin to a dinner party where everyone insists on clinking their glasses at once. Such euphoria, of course, is always followed by a correction-nature’s way of reminding us that gravity applies to portfolios as well as physics.

Behold, the drama unfolds! 🎭 This proposal arrives as the public collectively gasps at Trump’s pardoning of Binance’s Changpeng Zhao. One might say it’s a tale as old as time-politicians trading while in power, all while the rest of us are left to ponder how they manage to afford those fancy suits. 🤡
