Stocks on a Blockchain?! 🤯

They’ve teamed up with LayerZero, which sounds suspiciously like something out of a low-budget sci-fi film, to build a ‘cross-chain bridge.’ This isn’t a physical bridge, naturally. That would be far too sensible. It’s more of a digital teleportation device for your little digital shares. They claim over 100 tokenized bits of US stocks & ETFs can now hop between Ethereum and BNB Chain. It’s like digital Pac-Man, but with slightly more at stake. 👻

💰 Crypto Whale Gets Rekt: $27M Gone in a Flash! 😱

Crypto & The SEC: A Kafkaesque Nightmare?

This “comprehensive guidance,” birthed from the depths of the Division of Trading and Markets, aims to enlighten (or perhaps further confuse) broker-dealers, transfer agents, and the poor souls operating these “trading platforms” regarding the handling of these digital phantoms.

XRP Under $2: Crypto Drama or Bargain Bin Bliss? 🤑💎

She says XRP is having a worse time than Bitcoin, which is still figuring out its corrective phase. Basically, XRP is the friend who overreacts at the party while Bitcoin’s just sipping its drink. 🍸 Tara also mentioned something about Fibonacci retracement levels, which sounds like a fancy math problem I’d fail. But the gist is: XRP hit $1.95, while Bitcoin’s only halfway there. Slowpoke. 🐢
