In what we might call a courtroom comedy, the B.C. Supreme Court declared the exchange innocent, since they had forewarned her more times than a mother nags her child. The woman, persuaded by a charming online friend-who probably had a French accent and a pet llama-invested in a scheme with promised daily returns of about one percent. Because, of course, what could possibly go wrong?
The total shares bought include 221,760 of OXY. The estimated value? A mere $10.31 million. This trade represents 7.37% of 13F reportable assets, a sum that would make even the most seasoned investor ponder their life choices.
Indeed, as Bitcoin wavers between $106,000 and $111,000, the timid souls among traders, like frightened children, cry out at every shadow, yet they overlook the grand design that whispers of a bullish future. 🧠💸
This, my dear reader, is no mere administrative trifle. It is a seismic shift in the way the ravenous tech behemoths-AI and Bitcoin miners-siphon the lifeblood of America’s power grid. As these titans of industry vie for the dwindling nectar of electricity, the demand surges with a ferocity unseen since the last great energy crisis. Or perhaps since the last time I tried to charge my electric toothbrush during a heatwave. 🔌
This peculiar assertion emerged amidst the backdrop of a presidential pardon, a gesture that, one might say, danced on the edge of judicial absurdity. The White House, ever the stage for such performances, declared it a constitutional ritual, a nod to the turbulent era of crypto regulation under the previous administration. 🎭
Now, according to the SEC’s filings, Gleason Group upped its stake in the Vanguard STAR Funds-specifically, the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS +0.32%)-by that same 97,690 shares during Q3 2025. The trade, as they say, was a whopper, valued at $6.93 million. The fund now holds 1,216,619 shares, worth a cool $89.37 million. One might say they’ve gone all-in on the global game, though I’d wager they’re not betting on the lottery.
The path ahead, however, was not paved with roses but with thorns of regulation. Twelve to eighteen months of scrutiny lie in wait, a trial by fire to prove if this crypto titan meets the OCC’s sacred standards. Would they emerge victorious, or would their dreams be devoured by red tape and sleepless nights? Only time, that merciless judge, would decide.
In what could be described as the silver lining to the world’s largest and most confusing financial thunderstorm, the $19 billion liquidation event is being spun as a “buying opportunity” by optimists (the ones who still believe in fairytales, apparently). This could theoretically set Bitcoin (BTC) on a path to a delightful $200,000 by the end of 2025, according to Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick.
At midday UTC on Oct. 24, trading went bonkers, with volume spiking to 74.39 million-350% above average-pushing XLM to $0.3229. It’s like the token hit the espresso machine and said, “Let’s do this!” ☕️ But then it hit resistance at $0.3230, because even crypto needs a nap. 😴 Support held at $0.3150, keeping the day’s drama to a 4.2% volatility range. 🎢
The regulated derivatives market for XRP is growing up and getting serious-and the implications could make XRP and the market’s top altcoins get ready for a massive surge. Hold onto your hats, folks. 🚀
