Biswarup Chatterjee, a man whose business card probably doubles as a boarding pass to six continents, admits the bank first wishes to swaddle the real collateral that props up your favorite cartoon dollar. “Custody,” he says, tasting the word the way a child tastes plastic soldiers-then Reuters prints it, and presto! It’s scripture. 😇
The SFC, in its infinite wisdom, has decreed that digital assets must be guarded like a miser’s gold, lest the crypto world’s wallet management prove as flimsy as a ghost’s promise. 🧛♂️ The new standards, nestled under the grandly named ASPIRe plan (a name so lofty, it could only be dreamed up by a committee), demand that senior management take the helm, lest they be cast into the abyss of non-compliance. Oh, the horror! 😰
Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round as Cardano, on Thursday, did a swan dive of 11% after gallantly soaring past the $1.00 milestone for the very first time since the spring pollen. This human-like dip was fed by the big, bad crypto market’s tirade, resulting in a mass liquidation extravaganza that would give a Rube Goldberg machine a run for its money.
But wait, there’s more! While its price wobbles like jelly on a plate, the network itself is chugging along like a runaway train fueled by sheer chaos-and stablecoins. Yes, folks, stablecoin transfers are the secret sauce keeping TRON’s engine roaring louder than a dragon with indigestion.
This golden prophecy extends to the realm of U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins, for Schiff is convinced that, in the grand tapestry of finance, no one shall truly require such trinkets when a token representing the noble metal itself exists. 💰,

Just this past week, unsuspecting crypto enthusiasts managed to part with more than a cool $1.6 million-yes, that’s one, six, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero-virtually evaporating into the ether through a charming little trick called address poisoning. Turns out, scammers are now so sophisticated, they don’t even need to leave the couch; they just send tiny, sneaky transactions from lookalike addresses, expertly disguised as the real deal. It’s like a game of “spot the difference,” only the prize is your hard-earned digital cash. 🎯
After watching the rest of the world lose their shirts on cryptocurrency for years, Vietnam finally said, “Alright, fine, we’ll take a spin on this rollercoaster too!” 🎢 They’re launching their first crypto exchange through this shiny new Dunamu-MB Bank partnership. Dunamu? Oh, just the geniuses behind Upbit, South Korea’s “We swear this isn’t a Ponzi scheme” exchange.
Now, if you’re wondering what’s behind this wild ride, let me introduce you to the Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio, a metric that’s been making waves (pun intended) among market analysts. This ratio, which measures the proportion of Bitcoin moving into exchanges from large holders, has ticked up above 0.50, a level that historically means we’re in for some bumpy rides ahead. 🌊
If you reckon that sounds like an old Southern river tycoon buying up every paddle-wheel boat on the Mississippi just so he can charge tolls for waves, well, that’s because it is. Citi’s global head of fancy partnerships-one Mr. Biswarup “I’ve-got-more-titles-than-an-English-library” Chatterjee-gave a chin-wag to Reuters and said, in the blandest banker-speak this side of lukewarm grits:
