Ah, dear reader, if this week’s Crypto Biz had a theme, ’tis the grand march of traditional finance into the very heart of crypto’s core infrastructure, as if the old guard had donned a monocle and a blockchain! 🕰️💸
Tether, that paragon of stability, now seeks to court major venture firms, as if they were suitoring for a place in the pantheon of tech giants like OpenAI. 🤡 Meanwhile, US regulators ponder if stocks might trade onchain-truly, a world turned upside down! 🌀
Elsewhere, JPMorgan’s Kinexys platform welcomes a Gulf bank, while a biotech firm builds its treasury around a DePIN token. What sorcery is this? 🧙♂️🧪
SoftBank, ARK Eye Tether’s Mega Funding Round
High-profile investors, those paragons of wisdom, are reportedly in talks to back Tether’s $500B valuation, as if it were a fairy tale with a happy ending. 🦄 Yet, Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, speaks in riddles, leaving us all in a tizzy. 🤯
“A select group of high-profile investors,” he says, as if the world isn’t watching. Tether, once a mere stablecoin, now dabbles in energy, infrastructure, and venture capital-truly, a phoenix rising from the ashes of traditional finance! 🔥
SEC Considers Stocks onchain
The SEC, that stern guardian of markets, now contemplates allowing stocks to trade onchain. A revolution, nay, a coup! 🗽📈 Will we soon see shares of Apple traded in a digital tavern? 🍷
The Information whispers of a plan, but it’s all in its infancy. Yet, platforms like Robinhood and Kraken already dabble in tokenized stocks. How quaint! 🤭
Qatari Bank Adopt JPMorgan’s Blockchain
Qatar National Bank, ever the pragmatist, adopts JPMorgan’s Kinexys, as if it were a newfangled chariot. “A treasurer’s dream!” they cry, while the rest of us wonder if we’ve entered a farce. 🎭
Kinexys handles $3B daily-trifling compared to JPMorgan’s $10T. Yet, here we are, dancing to the tune of blockchain! 🕺
Predictive Oncology’s DePIN Treasury
Predictive Oncology, that bold biotech, builds a $344M treasury of Aethir tokens. A DePIN? A mystery! 🧩 Yet, with 435,000 GPU containers, it’s as if they’ve harnessed the power of the gods. ⚡
“ATH controls one of the largest decentralized GPU networks!” exclaims a co-founder. Truly, the future is here, and it’s powered by AI and emojis! 🤖✨
