Apparently, they’re pivoting towards a âtokenized loyalty model.â It sounds soâŠsophisticated. Like I should be wearing a beret and discussing blockchain over a soy latte. They’re using Crypto.comâs Cronos blockchain, which is, like, the trendy one, apparently. Itâs supposed to bridge the gap between us retail investors and the wonderfully named âTruth Social ecosystemâ. đ Honestly, the names alone.
On-chain data reveals Hayes sold 1,871 ETH (aka âI need liquidity, not loveâ) over two weeks. But donât worry-this wasnât a breakup. It was more like using your exâs credit card to fund your new hobby. đ§ââïžđ
La Banque FĂ©dĂ©rale (dite “Fed”, mais qui serait mieux nommĂ©e “FĂ©dĂ©ration des DĂ©tours Financiers”) a ouvert 2026 comme un prestidigitateur dĂ©voilant un lapin⊠ou plutĂŽt un chĂšque. GrĂące Ă son “Standing Repo Facility” (un trĂ©sor de lâĂtat qui ressemble Ă un coffre-fort rempli de confettis), elle a injectĂ© 74,6 milliards de dollars dans le systĂšme bancaire. Les mĂ©dias, Ă©videmment, ont hurlĂ© au miracle Ă©conomique. Mais messieurs les analystes, ces messieurs-lĂ nous assurent que câest juste un “geste courant de fin dâannĂ©e”. Comme si NoĂ«l Ă©tait une routine.
Bitcoin came strutting into Q4 of 2025 like it owned the place, full of swagger and hope. But surprise, surprise! It ended up being the worst kind of party – the one where you discover the snacks are all stale. Data from Coinglass shows the fourth quarter was a total flop. The seasonal trend thatâs been holding Bitcoin up like a crutch? Yeah, that vanished faster than your last date. đ
Ah, Zaidi-who first graced the commission with his presence in 2010 and gallantly served until 2019. His final act of heroism was as the Director of the Division of Market Oversight, a title that surely comes with a shiny badge and the ability to wear a cape on Fridays.
The fun part? Everyoneâs got a different theory. Some say ETFs and corporate buying are the new love story, but macro pressure and derivatives trading are the exes showing up uninvited. Itâs like a family reunion where no one can agree on the menu, but the appetizers are all just $100 bills. đ€
Bitcoin, that cheeky little coin with a penchant for drama, decided to throw a tantrum in Q4 2025, plummeting 23.07% like a deflated party balloon at a rainy birthday. According to Coinglass, this wasnât just a hiccup-it was a full-blown somersault backward, erasing most of its mid-year gains faster than you can say âblockchain.â
In 2025, Solana pirouetted past its peers, outpacing even the mighty CEXs with a DEX trading volume of $1.6 trillion! đ€ Only Binance, that towering colossus, stood taller with $7.2 trillion. CryptosRus, the oracle of on-chain wisdom, declares this a sign of growing investor fervor. Yet, the price remains as still as a pond in winter. Accumulation, they say? Or is it the calm before the storm? đ©ïž
The UK, in glorious company with over 40 other countries, started enforcing these excitingly boring new crypto tax reporting rules on January 1 under the OECDâs Cryptoasset Reporting Framework, which we will affectionately call CARF. Exchanges now have the delightful task of collecting wallet activity, past transaction history, and tax information from UK users. And because that alone wasn’t thrilling enough, they must submit all this valuable data, as if it were headline news, directly to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
âWe expect these forces to compound in 2026 as ETF approval timelines compress,â he declares, like a prophet unveiling a grand vision. Last year, my friends, was merely the foundation; it laid the groundwork, much like a bricklayer who knows the importance of solid stone before erecting a mighty edifice.
