Solana is now live on the Uniswap Web App 🦄

(Yes, you read that right)

After a October that started with more turbulence than a budget airline flight, traders are now staring at Bitcoin and XRP like they’re contestants in a reality show. Who will break out first? Will it be the stoic Bitcoin or the unpredictable XRP? Place your bets, folks! 🎲

With a flourish of bureaucratic bravado, 21Shares has petitioned the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its 21Shares 2x Long HYPE ETF. This audacious fund aspires to deliver twice the daily returns of Hyperliquid, offering a gilded gateway to the DeFi token. Should it receive approval, it would be the first U.S.-listed leveraged ETF to track the fees and perpetual market performance of a live DeFi protocol-a feat as remarkable as it is dubious. 🏛️✨

The Fed’s internal squabble is like a barnyard brawl, with inflation coolin’ off and the labor market lookin’ about as sturdy as a three-legged stool. Traders are twiddlin’ their thumbs, knowin’ the Fed’s move could either grease the wheels or throw sand in ‘em for risk assets down the road. 🌪️

As the winds of fortune blow ever so favorably, we must reflect upon the official proclamation of October the 17th, whereby Upbit, the illustrious South Korean exchange of grand repute, declared its intention to list ZORA with trading pairs against KRW, BTC, and USDT upon the Base network. How delightful! 📈

Gold (XAU), a traditional store of value but also a “non-productive” asset, has surged to a market capitalization exceeding $30 trillion in 2025, dwarfing digital gold, bitcoin, and U.S.-listed tech giants alike.

So, picture this: Ripple Labs, bless their overambitious hearts, is reportedly front and center in this harebrained scheme to scrape together at least $1 billion via a special-purpose vehicle, all to gobble up more XRP. Bloomberg spills the beans, and honestly, it sounds like the plot of a bad sitcom where everyone bets their life savings on virtual Monopoly money.

This effort, they say, is carried out through some shadowy creature known as a SPAC- a Frankenstein’s monster born from the union of chaos and desperation, scuttling through the financial night with its monstrous purpose. As Bloomberg’s anonymous voices croon in the darkness, the details remain as murky and shifting as the icy Neva in winter, the precise nature of the deal still trembling on the cusp of realization.

Ripple aims to combine its blockchain-based payment infrastructure and digital asset solutions with GTreasury’s enterprise-grade tools for managing corporate liquidity, payments, and risk. This integration will allow large corporations to move funds instantly across borders, replacing the traditional banking system that often takes days to settle transactions. 🚀

Imagine, if you will, the Sunshine State, not just basking in the warmth of its rays but also in the glow of Bitcoin and other shimmering digital assets. Should this bill be graced with approval, Florida might just swagger ahead, becoming one of the first states in the Union to invest public funds in this seemingly mysterious world of pixels and bits.
