This commendation is akin to a grand parade for the township of prediction markets in this land of freedom. Now, the American folks can wager their bets on the vagaries of the future through those stodgy traditional brokerages and futures commission merchants, availing themselves under the stern gaze of laws meant for the older, more established exchanges. Oh, what times we are living in! 🤓
The company, with the enthusiasm of a salesman hawking snake oil at a county fair, informed TopMob that users can now send stablecoins directly to banks in Nigeria and Mexico. No intermediaries, no fuss-just pure, unadulterated financial convenience (or so they claim).
XRP, once the rebellious outsider, is now attracting the eye of institutional giants with the introduction of multiple exchange-traded products (ETPs). Grayscale’s XRP Trust ETF (GXRP), which debuted on November 18, 2025, is already seeing some early buzz, according to their filings-because, of course, everyone loves a new shiny thing. Bitwise jumped in with a similar XRP ETP right before GXRP, and Franklin Templeton, in a moment of “me too,” plans to join the party with their own XRP ETF, pending regulatory approval, naturally. Because what’s an ETF without a little waiting game?
Oh, what a delightful surprise! XRP-yes, the same XRP you probably thought was taking a nap-has just had an explosive overnight growth, adding a staggering 9.5 billion to its market cap in just 24 hours. A neat little 7% jump took it to a record-breaking 2.20, leaving the rest of the crypto market trailing behind with a humble 1.97% increase. How charming! 🤑
Its strategy, once a “flywheel” of brilliance, now creaks like an old carousel. Issue equity when the sun shines, raise money, buy Bitcoin-a dance as old as the market itself. But when the stock plummeted, the music stopped. Warrants, once alluring, now gather dust. The funding channel, once a river, is now a trickle. Without this equity-based lifeblood, its BTC acquisition strategy hangs by a thread. 🕸️
On-chain researcher Axel Adler Jr. had a bit of a revelation on Tuesday: the Bitcoin Bull-Bear Structure Index has been marooned in negative territory since November 11. Of course, this indicates relentless selling pressure, as if we didn’t already know that. But wait, there’s more! A short-term reversal appears to be in motion. The metric, once languishing at a ghastly -43%, has improved to a rather more tolerable -20%. Could this be the first sign of the bear’s long-awaited retreat? Dare we hope?
The FSA, in a move as bold as a sumo wrestler in a ballet tutu, is plotting to force crypto exchanges to hoard liability reserves. Why? To protect the poor souls who’ve poured their life savings into digital coins, only to watch them vanish like a magician’s rabbit. 🐰✨ Nikkei Asia whispers that this grand scheme will hit Parliament in 2026-better late than never, eh? ⏳
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen the grand parade-new ETFs marching from Amplify, Bitwise, Canary, Rex-Osprey, Franklin Templeton, and Grayscale! Many predicted at least a flirt with $3. Instead, XRP decided to do a little dip, as if saying, “Not today, folks!” Meanwhile, the entire crypto circus corrected sharply, and even Bitcoin, that stubborn beast, slid towards $80k, perhaps tired of all the fireworks. 🎆🤡
Well, I’ll be jiggered! Crypto’s 2025 is ending on a note as unexpected as Aunt Agatha’s sudden interest in jazz. 🎷
The origin of this prophecy is a two-week tableau, a veritable canvas painted with the curious geometry Ali Martinez describes as a “right-angled ascending triangle.” Picture it as a top line softly climbing upward while the foundation stubbornly refuses to budge. Should that base hold, the tokens could quite unexpectedly leap into territories heretofore reserved for drunken fantasy or the realm of reckless optimism.
