When asked if he still believes in Bitcoin’s magic, Hoskinson said, “Yes, but only if we build a bridge to DeFi!” 🌉 The problem, he explains, is that Bitcoin holders are as cautious as a cat in a room full of squeaky toys. They won’t hand over their coins to anyone, not even a friendly dragon. But fear not! Non-custodial credit systems are coming-think of them as magical spells that let you lend your Bitcoin without losing control. 💡
CoinMarketCap, that paragon of financial wisdom, now heralds Canton (CC) as the 25th most illustrious entity, boasting a market cap of $4.6 billion, while SHIB, ever the loyal hound, lags behind at 26th with $4.34 billion. CC, with its price of $0.1254, dons the green badge of triumph, surging 14.05% in 24 hours – a feat as surprising as a penguin wearing a top hat. SHIB, meanwhile, limps along with a modest 2.21% gain, its price a mere $0.000007373. 🐕💸
Why, one might ask, does this prediction stir the masses? Because it is not merely a comparison of tokens, but a blasphemous challenge to the very gods of “safe money.” XRP, priced at a humble $1.87, with a market cap of $113 billion, dares to dream of surpassing gold’s $31.719 trillion and silver’s $4.485 trillion. Madness? Or the genius of a mind untethered by mortal logic? 🤔💎
Indeed, this stark retreat beareth a deeper truth: the market’s garish splendour hath but concealed a most fractured society, where the vast majority of cryptocurrencies languish in a prolonged chill, quite akin to the Misses Bingley at their last soiree.
With the same gravity that once defined the relentless cycles of our vast Russian winters, Hougan speaks of forces far mightier-those of institutional ascension, regulatory enlightenment, and the burgeoning stability of stablecoins. “The four-year cycle,” he proclaims, “has faded into the historical tapestry, overshadowed by a relentless climb-a ’10-year grind’ promising paltry but reliable returns, a decline in volatility, with discernible, albeit capricious, fluctuations.”
Our dear DeBot announced with more bravado than wisdom that the breach was traced back to a wayward server in Japan. They assured everyone that the affected users would be made whole again-an act worthy of a magician performing just before the final curtain falls.
In the heart of New York, where neon dreams collide with reality, a number flashed across the sky like a divine omen. 589 lights for 2026, a figure that sent the XRP community into a frenzy of hope and memes. For them, 589 is not merely a number; it is a mantra, a beacon, a punchline to a joke only the faithful understand. “One day,” they whisper, “XRP will defy logic and soar.” 🌟
This week, $NIGHT crowned CoinGecko’s list of trending cryptos, a fleeting triumph over Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, as if the digital cosmos itself paused to whisper, “Behold, the new star.” Hoskinson, ever the prophet, declared Midnight “but the dawn’s first breath,” a Cardano-native asset that outshines even the old titans.
Bitcoin’s market price, that steadfast caroler, continued its performance near $87,000, while the ETFs’ total net assets trimmed their holiday cheer to $113.5 billion-a trimmer figure than their December swan song of $120 billion. A festive diet, perhaps? 🎁📉
Sberbank’s like, “Yeah, we’re totally cool with this crypto thing now,” but they’re keeping the details as secret as a Russian spy novel. 📜🔒 How much was the loan? How long is it for? How much crypto was collateral? Shrugs in Cyrillic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
