As 2025 limps to a close, Bitcoin’s price is doing its best impression of a sad balloon, risking a year-end dip below where it started. I mean, can you believe it? Falling exchange reserves are supposed to make prices go up, yet here we are-like waiting for a bus that never comes.
Behold, the TON Foundation, ever the pragmatist, has anointed OpenPayd as its maestro of global fiat operations. A single API to rule them all, they say, managing payments, currencies, and treasury with the grace of a Chekhovian protagonist-quietly enduring the chaos of 1 billion monthly users. 🌍📈
According to the latest gossip from crypto.news, our dear Bitcoin (BTC) took a sharp nosedive from its high-flying position of over $89,000 yesterday, plummeting to a dramatic low of $85,427 today. It did manage to regain some composure, however, and is currently sitting pretty at $85,798-still down 4.2% on the day. And let’s not forget, that’s a hefty 9.3% drop from last Thursday’s high and nearly 32% off its year-to-date peak. Quite the rollercoaster! 🎢
In this grand theater of tickers and portfolios, where fortunes are spun like threads in some cosmic loom, we find three stocks that might yet amuse the ghost of Graham himself.

In a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), dated with the precision of a Swiss watch, Aristotle Capital Boston disclosed this partial divestiture during the tantalizingly tumultuous third quarter. Such an adjustment nudged their holdings down to 150,752 shares, now valued at a princely $44 million at the quarter’s close, thereby constituting a mere 2.3% of the fund’s reportable U.S. equity assets-a number as unspectacular as it is exact.
Behold the grand saga of Shiba Inu’s valuation-once a mere whisper at $0.0000000001684, now a slightly louder whisper at $0.000008439. Progress, or perhaps just the wind? Its all-time peak, a lofty $0.00008845, now seems as distant as a forgotten dream, with the token languishing some 85% below. This year alone, it has shed 55% of its fur, and over twelve cruel months, nearly 60%.

On December 14th, while common mortals were busy debating whether samosas should be triangular or conical, India’s financial watchdogs were conducting synchronized raids worthy of a flash mob – if flash mobs involved seizing lockers instead of dancing.

Beta – that cheeky little imp who measures your heartbeat compared to S&P’s – sneaks into VONG’s column, but IWO remains cryptic, as if plotting in hushed tones. Vanguard, with their meager 0.07% fee, sneaks past IWO with a sneaky fox’s grin.
