Bitcoin, the market’s golden boy, has retreated from its August crescendo, now coiled in the $110K-$112K nest. Yet, even as it slumbers, the wolves of Wall Street circle: MicroStrategy added 1,955 BTC ($217M), while Metaplanet hoarded 136 BTC ($15.2M). Greed, it seems, never sleeps. 😴💼
But wait, there’s more! Nasdaq isn’t just asking for permission; no, they’re rewriting the rulebook itself. They want to redefine what counts as a “security.” In their own words: “A security may be traded…in either traditional form or tokenized form.” Translation? Blockchain isn’t just for buying cartoon apes anymore-it might soon handle your Apple shares too. Fancy, isn’t it?
Robinhood (HOOD) stock soared 15% on Monday following the company’s inclusion in the S&P 500, the widely tracked benchmark for U.S. equities. The announcement was made after markets closed on Friday and takes effect with the index’s September 22 rebalance. 🚀
The filing, dated Sept. 5, 2025, whispers promises of transformation: the humble Grayscale Chainlink Trust (LINK) shall don its new robes as the Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF (GLNK). Its noble mission? To reflect the value of Chainlink (LINK), minus those pesky expenses and liabilities, using the Coindesk Chainlink Price Index at 4 p.m. like some high-tech oracle. 🔮
In an X post that probably took him longer to write than his breakfast omelet, Pumpius revealed that ZK privacy is now live on XRPL, thanks to something called the DNA protocol. Translation? Network users-including Ripple’s partners-can now prove things like KYC compliance without spilling their digital tea all over the internet. No private data exposed, no awkward oversharing. It’s like proving you’re old enough to buy alcohol without showing your ID to the entire bar. Cheers to that! 🍸
Behold, the funds have swelled to over $200M! Yet, the masses remain apathetic. A mere two souls have claimed this digital treasure-one hoarding nearly $1M, the other left with the crumbs. A comedy of riches, indeed! 😂
Apparently, someone crunched the numbers (or at least shook the digital piggy bank) and decided CoinShares is worth $1.2 billion-a sum that would make even the patricians of Ankh-Morpork pause mid-bribe. Meanwhile, shareholders can clutch up to 91.6% of the newly-forged corporate golem, which is almost as much as having your cake and eating it, if your cake is made of shares and ambition.
Forward Industries (FORD), once a humble design house for doctors and tech wizards over six decades past, has now transformed itself-like a caterpillar into a rather dapper butterfly-into a financier of Solana dreams. With $1.65 billion clasped tightly from private equity nobility, the stage is set for a most splendid spectacle.
Now, brace yourselves, dear investors and aspiring billionaires. The financing, priced at a modest $10 per share (as if you could find that on sale at your local supermarket), includes the star-studded participation of YZi Labs, Brevan Howard, Susquehanna Crypto, and IMC Trading, alongside earlier backers like Dragonfly and ParaFi. Clearly, it’s a who’s-who of the financial elite. The combined entity, henceforth known as StablecoinX Inc., is projected to hold a staggering 3 billion ENA upon its closing. One can only imagine the sheer power this will wield in the world of tokens!
Publicly traded companies holding significant amounts of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], and Solana [SOL], aka the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) sector, are facing mounting pressure despite Bitcoin’s rally to fresh highs in August. It seems the higher Bitcoin flies, the more these companies feel like they’re being pulled down by a lead balloon. 🎈
