Nvidia (NVDA) is one of the biggest winners of this AI boom. Its share prices shot up 1,400% during this period, far outpacing the 81% gains clocked by the S&P 500 index. But here’s the catch: if you’re buying a horse, you don’t want to pay for the stable, the hay, and the entire farm. Nvidia’s valuation? A bit of a barn sale.
Now, let us consider Amazon and Apple – two names as familiar as a butler’s discreet cough at a dinner party. Both have constructed empires so vast, one might mistake them for modern-day Babels. Amazon, that indefatigable peddler of everything from garden gnomes to cloud storage, and Apple, the orchard-keeper of digital delights, have each woven tapestries of customer loyalty so intricate, they make Persian rugs look like child’s finger-painting.
As the winds of fortune blow ever so favorably, we must reflect upon the official proclamation of October the 17th, whereby Upbit, the illustrious South Korean exchange of grand repute, declared its intention to list ZORA with trading pairs against KRW, BTC, and USDT upon the Base network. How delightful! 📈
Four quantum computing companies have taken the stage, performing a high-flying acrobatic act that has none other than Wall Street drooling. Their trailing-12-month (TTM) returns resemble digital fireworks:
Gold (XAU), a traditional store of value but also a “non-productive” asset, has surged to a market capitalization exceeding $30 trillion in 2025, dwarfing digital gold, bitcoin, and U.S.-listed tech giants alike.
So, picture this: Ripple Labs, bless their overambitious hearts, is reportedly front and center in this harebrained scheme to scrape together at least $1 billion via a special-purpose vehicle, all to gobble up more XRP. Bloomberg spills the beans, and honestly, it sounds like the plot of a bad sitcom where everyone bets their life savings on virtual Monopoly money.
This effort, they say, is carried out through some shadowy creature known as a SPAC- a Frankenstein’s monster born from the union of chaos and desperation, scuttling through the financial night with its monstrous purpose. As Bloomberg’s anonymous voices croon in the darkness, the details remain as murky and shifting as the icy Neva in winter, the precise nature of the deal still trembling on the cusp of realization.
Ripple aims to combine its blockchain-based payment infrastructure and digital asset solutions with GTreasury’s enterprise-grade tools for managing corporate liquidity, payments, and risk. This integration will allow large corporations to move funds instantly across borders, replacing the traditional banking system that often takes days to settle transactions. 🚀
Imagine, if you will, the Sunshine State, not just basking in the warmth of its rays but also in the glow of Bitcoin and other shimmering digital assets. Should this bill be graced with approval, Florida might just swagger ahead, becoming one of the first states in the Union to invest public funds in this seemingly mysterious world of pixels and bits.
So, DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) decided their Solana (SOL) stash wasn’t quite flashy enough. Solution? Drop another $16 million on 86,307 SOL tokens, because who needs a rainy day fund when you can have a blockchain bonanza? 💸 This move, they claim, is part of their “long-term compounding strategy,” which sounds fancy but basically means they’re hoarding digital coins like a squirrel with acorns. 🐿️
