“These new payment accounts will support innovation while keeping the system safe,” said Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who clearly hasn’t seen a spreadsheet in decades. October brought his suggestion to let the Fed “explore” these accounts, because nothing says “urgent” like a bureaucratic game of hot potato. 🕺
On the merry date of December 19, 2025, these two juggernauts announced their union, allowing Klarna to flirt with a new class of institutional investors.

Shorts, those brave souls who bet against the future, were slaughtered en masse as prices vaulted past $87,700. Liquidations, you see, are the market’s way of teaching humility to the overleveraged: when prices surge, shorts are forced to buy back contracts at a loss, fueling the rally like gasoline on a pyre. Yet Taha warns: this euphoria is as fleeting as a TikTok trend.
