According to the wise folks at Santiment’s ETF dashboard, a whopping $11.9 million decided to take a hike in a single session. That’s right, the second-largest daily outflow since these products started keeping tabs. Imagine the embarrassment! It’s like being stood up at the prom, but with more zeros.
Behold, the proletariat of blockchain has spoken, and Solana is their champion. According to the wise sages at DefiLlama, this network has ascended to the throne, generating $30.93 million in weekly app revenue and a staggering $36.015 billion in DEX trades. The old guard trembles as the new king struts his stuff.
Ah, Tether ($USDT), the liquidity backbone of the crypto economy, or as I like to call it, the “We’ll blacklist you faster than you can say ‘decentralization’” service. While it’s a net positive that they’re cracking down on illicit actors, it’s also a stark reminder that the wild west days of digital finance are about as dead as a doornail. The censorship-resistance dream? More like a censorship-resistant nightmare for those who thought they could fly under the radar.
Remember when Bitcoin was the rebellious teen of finance, flipping off the Man and dreaming of a decentralized utopia?

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty shrank by around 11%, the largest fall since China’s 2021 crackdown, following a sharp drop in hashrate driven by plunging prices and winter storm outages across the U.S.-because nothing says ‘hang in there’ like a weather apocalypse and a crypto slump.
Doctor Profit, for one, swears the thing is slipping into an endless sideways waltz-not a heroic bull-run, but a sly warm-up for a deeper tumble in the months ahead.
My dear, the trajectory of crypto adoption is as predictable as a Noël Coward plot twist, and nothing screams “desperation for relevance” like Coinbase’s Super Bowl advertising strategy. On February 8, 2026, they unveiled their ‘Everybody Coinbase’ campaign, a karaoke romp to ‘Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)’ that replaced the understated chic of the 2022 bouncing QR code with a vulgar cry for mass appeal.
Trading at $86.02? Down 0.1% in 24 hours? That’s the crypto equivalent of “I’m fine, really” when you’re clearly not. Down 13% in a week, 35% in a month, and 70% from its January 2025 high? That’s not a dip, that’s a full-on face-plant into the guacamole.
