Meanwhile, the market’s behaving like a confused hedgehog-hot and cold, up and down, totally range-bound with all the grace of a headless chicken. XRP, sitting proudly at $2.01 (a big “meh” of a loss), is stuck in its long, dull trapeze act between $1.90 and $3.60. Multiple attempts to break the $2.10 barrier? Fail! It’s like trying to open a stuck jam jar-frustrating and ultimately fruitless.

Filecoin, that once-promising storage protocol, fell 7.3% in the past 24 hours-a descent into the abyss. From $1.48 to $1.38, it tumbled, as decentralized physical infrastructure tokens led a sector-wide liquidation. A massacre, if you will, but without the dignity. 🪦💨

In a world where the dust of traditional finance settles on the parched fields of blockchain, Coinbase has rolled out its latest contraption-native Solana DEX trading. 🌾✨ Like a migrant worker chasing the promise of a better harvest, users can now trade SOL-based tokens directly on-chain, their pockets jingling with USDC settlements. No more middlemen, no more custodial chains-just the open road of decentralized networks stretching out like a California highway.

The crypto market did what we’ve come to expect: it fell back down to the lower side of its range after the Federal Reserve decided to reduce interest rates by a mere 25 basis points. Big whoop, right? Traders had already priced in this snoozer of an announcement, so they promptly unwinded their long exposure.

Speaking of drama queens, the market’s now playing “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” with a side of panic. Is this a deeper crash? Only time will tell-or maybe a therapist, again.

Four Ripple wallets, who’ve been around longer than your ex’s dating profile, sent 600 million XRP to six new addresses. Each got exactly 100 million XRP, and two wallets were reduced to zero. Because nothing says “treasury adjustment” like a digital diet. 🥗💸

In a world where even sandbanks crave blockchain, Galaxy Digital has planted its flag in Abu Dhabi, a land where oil money and crypto ambition collide like clueless tourists at a camel race. 🏁

In his December 10 soliloquy, titled “Midnight Launch AAR,” the noble Hoskinson addressed the tempestuous price dance that hath captivated the masses. “It launched at almost $150, a sum so preposterous it could only be described as ‘insane’!” he exclaimed, his eyes widening with dramatic flair. “But lo! As soon as it touched the sacred grounds of Binance Alpha, the heavens wept, and the token plummeted to a mere two cents. Oh, the cruelty of the DGENs! They dumped upon us like a flock of geese over a village green!” 🦆💨

Trading under the ticker XXI (because, of course, we’re in the future), Twenty One Capital is a Bitcoin-native firm that’s got the big boys like Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank in its corner. I mean, when you’ve got SoftBank backing you, you should probably be celebrating with champagne, right? 🍾
