To truly appreciate this tale, we must rewind to the early 2010s when Collins, having amassed a fortune through dubious means-because who wouldn’t?-decided to invest in Bitcoin. Back then, he scooped up around 6,000 BTC, scattering them like confetti across 12 wallets, presumably thinking he was the digital version of Santa Claus.
On a most elegant March day in 2026, Piero Cipollone of the European Central Bank addressed the House of the Euro in Brussels, declaring that tokenised finance can finally move from the realm of speculative curiosity into the respectable world of production. He noted that European issuers have already invested nearly €4 billion in distributed ledger technology since 2021, signalling that the future is already sown in pixels.
According to the announcement (or as we like to call it, the “Breaking News” of finance), the company is teaming up with the supply chain finance firm Unloq to test a trade finance model on the XRP Ledger through BLOOM. Yes, that’s right, BLOOM-a name that sounds like a flower shop but is really just a fancy sandbox run by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Bitcoin’s price had a bumpy ride for about two days, fluctuating wildly with rapidly changing news. Initially, US President Donald Trump threatened military action against Iran’s power plants, but he later backed down.
On Monday, the crypto magnates, clutching coffee mugs of their own, stepped into the echo chamber of legislation that had haunted them for two brutal months. They were handed the latest page of the CLARITY Act-bleak, uncompromising, and dead serious about a single question: how much did we really want anyone to earn on its own money while it sits idle?
Bittensor subnet tokens are now worth almost $1.5 billion in total. According to CoinGecko, their value increased by 30% in the last 24 hours, with over $118 million worth being traded.

In my recent annual letter to our shareholders, I shared that we’re aiming for specific revenue growth from our digital asset business by 2026. Essentially, we’ve set a clear financial target for BlackRock’s crypto initiatives.

Oh, what a week it has been in the land of markets! They were tossed around like a salad at a particularly boisterous picnic. For a brief moment, geopolitics decided to take a nap, while the central banks kept their stern faces on. Bitcoin, that clever cryptocurrency, managed to scamper back to the $70K neighborhood after a U.S. strike took a timeout on Iranian energy targets. Meanwhile, gold threw a hissy fit and slid down the charts, while ether was the life of the party, attracting all sorts of inflows even with the gloomy macro backdrop. Analysts at Wintermute likened the whole scenario to a tug-of-war between oil’s wild antics and our appetite for risk. How delightful!
In the latest farcical episode of XRP’s life, our friend CasiTrades has noticed that the price is breaking below a trendline that had been the pride of its existence for weeks. Alas, it seems this once-reliable companion is now flipping into resistance like a pancake at a breakfast buffet. This unfortunate twist aligns beautifully with what was discussed during Friday’s livestream – oh, the irony! From a structural perspective, one might venture to say XRP appears to be gearing up for a final descent toward the $0.87 support zone. How delightful!
