On Dec. 2, 2025, a relic from bitcoin’s youth finally stirred onchain, as 50 BTC mined in March 2010 moved at block height 926087 between wallets for the first time in over 15 years. One might assume that with prices hitting six figures, these coins would at least yawn and stretch. Alas, they preferred the slow life.
The transaction, slated to close in early 2026 (if one can trust the patience of a snail in a race), will see Interop Labs’ staff and IP whisked away, while the Axelar Network, its foundation, and the AXL token remain as independent as a cat refusing to nap in a sunbeam. 🐾
Did the CFO foresee the meteoric rise, or was it merely a stroke of luck?
Behold, the CME Group has launched Spot-Quoted futures for XRP and Solana (SOL), a venture that promises to expand its crypto trading lineup with the flair of a theatrical performance. One might wonder if this is a triumph of modern finance or merely a spectacle for the gullible. The success of Bitcoin and Ether futures, which have seen such robust demand since June, has evidently inspired this latest gambit.
In the ensuing years, management is likely to prioritize advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), vehicle autonomy, and software solutions to recapture investor interest and restore its once-premium valuation. A deeper exploration is warranted to discern whether genuine progress underpins this enthusiasm.
As Solana (SOL) ambles along this precarious path, the signs of impending doom become increasingly evident. The critical $130 level, once a bastion of support, has crumbled like an ancient fortress under siege. The market structure shifts ominously, like the ground before an earthquake, signaling that the sellers are sharpening their knives while the bulls scurry for cover.
Permian, a fund with $885.7 million in U.S. equity assets, stuck its nose into Resideo’s business. They bought 4.7% of their portfolio, which is like bringing a salad to a steak dinner. The SEC filing says it’s all about “strategic positioning.” Or maybe they just needed a new hobby.
The broader crypto market, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to join the party-but only to throw a pity parade. December’s price action has been a masterclass in indecision, with charts resembling the aftermath of a particularly chaotic game of tetris. One might almost mistake it for a modern art exhibit, if not for the palpable sense of dread.
This is the likely outcome of a move that Alphabet’s cable-television alternative YouTube TV recently announced it would soon be making. Although details are still scant, the company plainly said, “Early next year, we’ll launch YouTube TV Plans, bringing more choice and flexibility to our subscribers with over 10 genre-specific packages.”
Across the Atlantic, the United Kingdom, in a move worthy of a myth, invests 18 billion pounds-roughly akin to opening a door into an age they call “Golden,” as if gold itself were only the blinding reflection of nuclear wealth-building a monument to this atomic renaissance. Concurrently, Poland begins its own architectural odyssey, financed with 14.2 billion euros, reminiscent of a Rosetta stone-an inscription of Eurasian ambitions carved into European soil. Japan’s recent re-engagement with reactors echoes the past’s ghost, while China constructs reactors in a manner that seems to echo an endless recursive pattern, perhaps an approximation of a Futurist dialectic between tradition and modernity.
