With the gusto of a ringmaster at a circus, our hero Saylor proclaimed that MicroStrategy inspects its custodians like a hawk eyeing a particularly plump rabbit. And what does he reject with a dramatic wave of his hand? The dastardly practice of rehypothecation! Oh, the very thought sends shivers down one’s spine!
But can a mere stablecoin alchemist bend the rigid spine of the market’s ancient oracle?
According to data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the Total Amount of Holders has hit a new milestone for Ethereum recently. This indicator tracks the total number of wallets on the network carrying a non-zero balance.

In their tome of prognostication, 21Shares unveils three potential destinies for XRP in 2026. The ETF issuer, with the gravitas of an oracle, declares that the token’s fate hinges on the capricious trifecta of ETF flows, real-world asset adoption, and the whims of macroeconomic forces:

On one side, President Trump, wielding tariffs like a particularly blunt sword, demanded rate cuts. The Fed, apparently channeling its inner Zen master, said, “Eh, we’ll just leave it as it is, thank you very much.” Their statement also delicately hinted that “uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated”-which is a fancy way of saying, “We’re confused, and so should you be.”
