So, the Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA) is putting on its thinking cap and considering a major system overhaul. They want to let commercial banks dip their toes into the shiny pool of cryptocurrencies. Yes, you heard that right! They could actually hold Bitcoin and other digital assets for investment purposes because what says “reliable banking” better than holding something that can drop in value faster than a popsicle on a summer day? 🍦💔

On October 18, a Polymarket trader known as Tsybka shared a Discord message from developer Mustafa Aljadery. In the message, Aljadery confirmed that the advanced platform will debut before the end of the year. 🚀

This app, a veritable Swiss Army knife of cryptocurrency, marries onchain bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and Liquid support with non‑custodial atomic swaps (courtesy of Boltz, the unsung hero of this digital drama). Users may now flit between networks with the ease of a society matron switching between gossip topics. Features include BIP39 mnemonics (for the forgetful aristocrat), SegWit descriptor‑based accounts, coin selection (because one must always choose the finest), watch‑only imports, and the option to connect to a personal node-a must for those who prefer their technology as bespoke as their tailoring.

The campaign, backed by a $400,000 prize pool, is aimed at reinforcing Arbitrum’s role as gTrade’s primary ecosystem for deep liquidity and trading activity. While gTrade maintains a multi-chain presence, this initiative underscores its commitment to concentrating liquidity around Arbitrum, where it continues to see the highest volume and user engagement. 🧙‍♂️✨

Underneath that playful jibe, the real story is more sobering-Polymarket’s data suggests the near-term gamble isn’t quite as charming as an afternoon at the Ritz. Oh no, a 52% chance Bitcoin might tumble below $100K this very month-who knew the crypto world could be so dramatic? Our dear Ted Pillow has already declared that Bitcoin has famously lost its cozy $108,000 support, leaving just a thin thread between reinvigoration at $110K or sliding further into chaos. One wonders if we’ll see a bounce or simply more tears and tedium! 💔

Yet, lo! CryptoWzrd doth not stop there. With a dramatic gesture, he points out that both Chainlink and LINKBTC have ended their day with candles of bearish hue, a sign, perchance, of short-term frailty. This downward spiral, he notes, follows a period of consolidation, as traders, like greedy courtiers, take their profits after recent gains. “Fear not,” he reassures, “the market, like a fickle mistress, still holds promise of recovery.” 😏💔

Well, this buyback might just sprinkle some fairy dust on wary traders, prompting them to open their piggy banks and engage in a buying frenzy. One can only dream of a tantalizing reversal! 🐷💰

The optimism surrounding Bitcoin is catching like wildfire! Investors are beginning to see it as the fortifying bulwark against the relentless gnashing teeth of inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies. On October 16, the ever-eloquent Ricardo Salinas Pliego, chairman of Grupo Salinas (and, might I add, a self-proclaimed ‘gold bug’ turned crypto crusader), took to the social media stage to declare Bitcoin’s imminent rise. Honestly, the way he speaks, you’d think he found the Holy Grail of finance tucked behind his couch. 🏆

Behold, the noble Dogwifhat, a creature of both whimsy and resilience, treads steadily after the tempest of volatility. Its price, like a weary traveler, finds solace near the $0.50 mark on the Binance Smart Chain (BNB), having retreated from the lofty $0.80. The 4-hour WIF/WBNB chart, a canvas of human greed and hope, reveals buyers outpacing sellers-a quiet rebellion of retail souls. 🛒📈

The bears, ever the party poopers, crashed the $0.00001 support during the Oct. 10 flash crash. 🐺 The result? SHIB’s price dived to a yearly low of $0.0000085, proving that even crypto can’t escape the laws of gravity. 🚀
