Our favorite market oracle, CryptoBirb (yes, that’s a real name, and no, we’re not making this up), has taken to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter, because why not add more confusion?) to warn us that we’re already ten days into a bearish cycle. And let’s just say, the on-chain data looks about as cheerful as a bowl of petunias mid-fall through space.
SLVP demonstrates a modest edge in fee efficiency (0.39% annual expense ratio vs. 0.51%), though GDX offsets this with a slightly higher dividend yield (0.53% vs. 0.46%). The VanEck fund’s $22.21B in assets under management establishes a structural liquidity band potentially advantageous for institutional participants or large-cap-focused investors.
3,000 shares born of February’s frost, 2,246 harvested in May’s languor, now joined by October’s 2,506. A contrapuntal theme-buying as incantation against the gathering storm.
On Monday, Chainlink unveiled its plans to publish data for the Russell 1000, Russell 2000, and Russell 3000 small-cap indexes, along with the FTSE 100 Index and a bunch of crypto benchmarks. This is all happening thanks to DataLink, a service that’s like a magic portal delivering institutional-grade market data across blockchains. That’s right, folks, all the boring stuff you never thought would touch blockchain-well, it’s here now.
On that fateful Friday, October 30, the crypto oracle known as “Ripple Bull Winkle” delivered his prophecy via X, declaring the birth of a new era. Or, as the ancients might say, “Here we go again.” The ETF’s AUM surge? A mere ripple (pun intended) compared to Bitcoin’s early days-though perhaps the market’s collective IQ dropped 10 points trying to care. 🧠💥
Now, let’s talk about altcoins, those little rebels trying to make a name for themselves in a world dominated by Bitcoin. Sure, they’re facing a few hiccups in the short-term, but hey, it’s not all doom and gloom. According to Sygnum Bank’s crystal ball for the end of 2025, the macroeconomic climate is pushing altcoins down, but Ethereum seems to be positioned to soar like an eagle at the start of Q4.
The incident, a masterclass in volatility, underscores the perils of high-leverage trading on decentralized platforms-where fortunes are made and lost faster than a debutante’s reputation at a London ball. Even the most seasoned investors, armed with spreadsheets and existential dread, cannot escape the whims of the market gods.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2025, Hussman Strategic Advisors disclosed the complete offloading of its position in Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. The 21,000 shares, once representing a fraction of the firm’s portfolio, are now sold, eliminating the position with an estimated $4,646,250 in proceeds.
As the Monad Public Mainnet looms like a storm on the horizon, the Monad Foundation has unleashed its long-awaited MON Airdrop. A grand spectacle of token distribution, aimed at 5,500 “core” members and 225,000 “outside players” – a curious mix of crypto aristocrats and digital serfs. 🧑🤝🧑
The company, in its infinite wisdom, divested $69.5 million of its mortal stock to fund a $45.6 million ritual, purchasing BTC at the oracle’s price of $114,771. A paradox! To sell shares to buy a currency that scoffs at the very notion of shares. The irony, it burns! 🔥
