With a flourish of his quill, he proclaims that the network must abandon its quixotic quest for latency’s holy grail. Nay, he insists, the true treasure lies in the expansion of bandwidth, a realm where Ethereum may reign supreme, unshackled by the chains of time itself. ⏳
Key takeaways (because no one reads proper paragraphs anymore)
The sentiment recovered along with the price from late December, followed by renewed ETF inflows in the first two days of 2026. However, the ETFs’ daily net flows turned negative on the 6th and 7th of January, resulting in a total of $729 million in outflows. A most unbecoming display, if you ask me. 🐾
In a missive on the digital altar of X, Merrick painted a portrait of XRP as the bridge between the staid world of finance and the wild frontier of digital markets. 🌉 A role, one might add, as essential as a monocle at a Victorian soiree. XRP, he declares, is not merely a cryptocurrency but a patron saint of stablecoins, Real-World Assets (RWAs), and institutional payment flows. How quaint! 🧾
The S&P 500 tiptoed sideways, while the Nasdaq Composite took a polite little dip. Semiconductors? Well, AMD and Intel are having a hissy fit over AI server narratives-charming, really. It’s like watching two fashionistas argue over who invented denim. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s 163.5 million shares traded with the enthusiasm of a tax audit. “Only 12% below average,” the analysts coo. Yes, because subpar trading volume is clearly the sign of a robust bull market. 🤷♀️
Northrop Grumman (NOC +2.39%) had a moment, like that coworker who suddenly remembers they’re a “strategic leader” after a coffee. Lockheed Martin (LMT +4.38%) and RTX (RTX +0.91%) joined the party, while AI darlings Micron (MU 3.71%) and Zscaler (ZS 4.69%) got the “we’ll get back to you” email from investors.
But here’s the catch: traditional banks are throwing shade, accusing WLFI and its crypto pals of “bank cosplay” – pretending to be banks without the boring stuff like regulations or accountability. Who needs compliance when you’ve got a Twitter warlord in the Oval Office? 🤡
Ah, the announcement! A grand unveiling of FTAI Power, a new enterprise that promises to transform the humble CFM56 engines into something akin to mighty turbines, capable of bestowing the world with an abundance of reliable energy for its ravenous data centers. What a delightfully absurd image-a turbine, once confined to the realm of aviation, now cavorting about the globe, fulfilling the very whims of artificial intelligence (AI) as it burgeons like a wildflower after a rain.
Налейте себе водки, зажгите сигарету и приготовьтесь к разбору – тут не чистые игры, а схватки за души и деньги. MSCI, словно шутник на сцене, решил устранить автоматическую покупку акций MSTR – и хотя на первый взгляд кажется, что всё проиграно, в глубине души слышен хохот старого ворона, ведь рынок всё еще не сдался. Кому нужны алгоритмы, когда есть Макс Кизер с его остротой и сарказмом?💥
In a move that could only be described as “defi-antly ambitious,” Owlto Finance, a protocol claiming to connect blockchains faster than a caffeinated squirrel, launched its native token, $OWL. This little wonder aims to be the engine powering what it charmingly calls its “cross-chain ecosystem” – because apparently, traditional chains are so last century.
