Declaring a complete trend reversal for XRP feels as premature as announcing the time on a random asteroid. But let me tell you, in recent weeks, XRP bounced around like a hyperactive Vogon poet at a poetry recital. Short-term sellers threw in the towel when XRP, in a remarkably strong reaction off its lower boundary, stopped grinding lower than a Dirk Gently episode.
A study by Germany’s Kiel Institute for the World Economy found that for tariffs imposed between January 2024 and November 2025, 96% of the costs were absorbed by US consumers and importers, while foreign exporters bore just 4%. 🇺🇸💸
In a move that sounds like something out of a tech utopia, the exchange has announced its plans to embrace tokenized securities and round-the-clock trading.

A cryptic analyst named Guru, with a twinkle in his eye, declared that what seemed like a peaceful nap was, in fact, a sneaky little trick. “Consolidation? Pah! It’s a late-stage distribution party!” he cried, waving a wand of skepticism. 🕵️♂️
A “faulty database migration,” they called it-a bureaucratic snafu during maintenance. But in crypto’s Darwinian realm, such errors are execution orders. Bitcoin’s price, now a ghost of its former self, taunted users with its $0 illusion. The algorithmic beasts roared, devouring positions with the ferocity of a wolf pack. One tweet quipped: “Turns out ‘decentralized’ just means ‘unreliable’ with better marketing. 🐺”
Tether, the issuer of USDT stablecoin, and Bitqik, a licensed cryptocurrency exchange in Laos, have announced a joint education program to teach people about Bitcoin and stablecoins.

Recently, our esteemed friends from the Hong Kong Securities & Futures Professionals Association (HKSFPA) have taken it upon themselves to gently nudge the city’s government, suggesting-ahem-perhaps a slower pace in the implementation of certain elements of this framework.
