Behold, the proposal to tether the protocol’s brand and intellectual property to the will of the DAO-a noble endeavor, yet one that met its end in the shadow of apathy. Meanwhile, the price of AAVE descended with the grace of a fallen star, plummeting a grim 14% this week. 😢
Let us dissect these mechanical bulls with the precision of a Soviet-era bureaucrat auditing a sausage factory-every ruble counts, comrade.
Both funds, though bound by identical sectoral mandates, reveal the grotesque spectacle of market capitalism’s stratification. One, a streamlined colossus, the other, a sprawling leviathan-each offers a counterfeit of freedom, a gilded cage where the investor’s will is subsumed by the logic of scale and liquidity.
BNB Chain has officially confirmed the launch date for its long-anticipated Fermi hard fork. The network disclosed that they are going to activate on January 14, 2026.

Both funds are products of a system that demands amplification, daily resets, and a willingness to surrender logic to leverage. SPXL, tethered to the S&P 500, drifts like a paperweight in a hurricane of indices. SOXL, fixated on semiconductors, is a magnifying glass held over a single flame, warping reality until the fire consumes itself. The investor, of course, is merely a formality in this ritual.
VBR’s 0.07% fee structure establishes a formidable barrier for competitors, particularly relevant for long-duration investors where fee differentials compound meaningfully. Its 2.0% dividend yield may attract income-focused accounts, though the 40bps yield gap versus IWN requires contextualization against sector-specific cash flow stability.
The rate of Ethereum (ETH) has risen by 0.63% over the last day. A triumph of sorts, though one might question the necessity of such a minor elevation. 🚀💸
Stablecoin neobanks are once again under scrutiny by traditional banking institutions. 🤭
No, this wasn’t some James Bond-level heist involving lasers and tuxedos. Instead, these hackers reached out to contractors in India offering cash for access to Coinbase’s servers. Because nothing says “high tech” like bribing your way in! 💸
