Well, here we are. USDX, a stablecoin that was supposed to be as steady as a rock, decided to take a nosedive. Earlier today, it dropped like a lead balloon, down to $0.3887. This wasn’t the plan. The on-chain tracker, Lookonchain, was there to witness it all and caught the sad story.
The secret sauce? A seven-day ETF inflow streak, the kind of institutional gold that makes bulls tingle with hope. Yet, as every good satirist knows, hope is a fickle muse, and the bears are sharpening their claws 🐆.
Analysts, those modern-day prophets, claim XRP’s strength stems from “fundamentals so robust, they could withstand a nuclear blast.” Ah, yes-Ripple’s pact with Mastercard, a union so sacred, even the blockchain is jealous. And let us not forget the $500m influx, a baptism of institutional interest that would make a snake oil salesman weep with joy.
Yet, the weakness of AI16Z lingers, a shadow over the altcoin’s glory, as holders, like weary pilgrims, retreat from its peak of $2.50, their faith crumbling like sand. 🌪️
Bitcoin, that old revolutionary specter, remains the uncontested king of chatter. Its price cycles ebb and flow like the tides, while whales hoard coins and institutions borrow them like library books. Speculation swirls: Is this the prelude to a grand crescendo or merely a drunken waltz on a bear market? Yet, amid the chaos, hope persists-a stubborn, optimistic ember in the crypto hearth. 🌪️🔥
The meme-coin circus has shrugged off a red day, as the ‘Official Trump’ token rallied higher and set crypto Twitter ablaze. (Like a spicy taco at an otherwise bland dinner party!)
In the annals of crypto catastrophes, few tales rival that of Balancer’s November 3rd exploit. The company has finally uncovered the ugly truth: the rounding bug in its “upscale” function was the silent villain behind the $116 million heist. Apparently, this function-meant to smooth out token swaps-was taken advantage of by hackers across multiple networks. Cue the dramatic music as WETH, osETH, and wstETH were swiftly drained away in several seemingly innocent transactions. 🙄
Well, folks, brace yourselves because YouTube’s shaking up the crypto world-again! 🥳 In an attempt to fix their gambling policy (which some might say was a little too loose), YouTube’s clarifying that they won’t be banning all those shiny crypto or NFT videos you love watching. Calm down, creators, your digital coins and skins are safe… for now. 🙄
Ah, Lista DAO, that grand theater of decentralized borrowing, finds itself in a predicament most baroque. With a flourish of urgency, it has summoned its acolytes to decide the fate of the USDX/USD1 market. Days of exorbitant borrowing rates, unyielding in their ascent, have laid bare the system’s deeper imbalances. A liquidation, they proclaim, is the only denouement.
In a recent X thread and blog post, Securitize explained that this new integration allows HLSCOPE to instantly convert VBILL holdings into Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. Because nothing says “financial innovation” like turning Treasury-backed tokens into stablecoins faster than a Victorian poet writes sonnets. 🖋️🚀
