Picture trying to teach two opera singers to duet in different languages while wearing roller skates. That’s interoperability in tokenized finance! JPMorgan’s Kinexys and DBS’s Token Services previously communicated like cats and dogs arguing over a sofa, but now they’re holding hands through this “shared framework” – which sounds suspiciously like corporate speed dating.
And thirdly-oh, the scandal!-speculators, ever the fickle suitors, have returned to court this volatile belle. Yet, as with all things speculative, a shadow looms: MYX trades 80.82% below its September pinnacle of $19.01. A cautionary tale, indeed. forthcoming token unlocks of 39M may yet summon the bears, for such is the way of markets. Prudent hands, clasp tight. 💸
Ah, the bitcoin mining farce! A circus of woe, where competition grows like noses in a Gogol story, energy demands soar like a madman’s laughter, and profits shrink like a timid soul in a haunted house. So speaks Fred Thiel, the MARA maestro, with a sigh as deep as a Russian winter.

Lo! Behold the dawn of a new era, where the grimy hands of capitalism clutch at the digital winds, spinning threads of U.S. dollars into shimmering tokens of “trust.” JPMorgan, that titan of finance, has unleashed its latest creation-JPM Coin-upon the blockchain, a realm where the whispers of the digital age echo through the hollow … Read more
In the shadowed alleys of Singapore, where the ghosts of red tape haunt the bureaucratic halls, Coinbase has dared to plant its flag, whispering sweet nothings of “business” to startups and SMEs.

Ah, dear reader, you thought the altcoins would rise like phoenixes from the ashes? Think again! According to the latest and undoubtedly mind-blowing Wintermute report, the crypto market is currently in such a state that altcoin season might as well be a fairy tale. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (yes, the mighty BTC) is sharpening its claws, ready to outperform all the so-called “alternatives.”
“Ripple employees will never ask you to send funds, share wallet info, or join investment streams,” the company said. A sentiment as refreshing as a glass of lemonade on a summer’s day, if one were to compare corporate warnings to beverages. 🍋
On a drizzly November 10 (naturally), the Bank of England – yes, that lot in the posh building who somehow still use fax machines – launched a consultation about regulating systemic stablecoins. Because of course they did. Digital money is so 2024, darling, and if we’re going to let crypto bros near our national currency, we’d better have some rules. Enter: The BoE, arms akimbo, ready to save us from ourselves.
Staying above the hundred grand mark is apparently key. If it manages that, things might get a bit livelier. But a proper, solid reclaim of the $108k to $110k bracket? That, my friends, would be a bullish pivot of the sort that sends the financial press into paroxysms of excitement. One mustn’t get one’s hopes too high, of course.
