Clark’s playlist is brimming with lively tunes, so it’s no wonder that “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey made the cut – it seems like it could be Clark Kent’s theme song.

The fireworks mostly happened from 13:00-16:00 UTC, but really, time is relative when you’re watching numbers this tiny bounce around.

Tether’s Glittering Gamble

by

CEO Paolo Ardoino, a man of evident sagacity, confided in Bloomberg that this move is part of a grand strategy to economize and assert independence. “If you have your own vault, eventually, with the size, it gets much cheaper,” he quipped, with a wink to the ledger.
