Gonzo Capitalists Bet Big on Millrose’s Land Play

Connecticut’s finest, Gilman Hill, filed with the SEC a third-quarter pounce on 235,475 shares of Millrose, now valued at $7.9 million. This addition swells their equity portfolio to 231 positions, but let’s not mistake this for diversification-it’s a surgical strike. The real question isn’t *why* they bought, but *how* they didn’t see this coming sooner.

NuScale’s Big Jump: A Contrarian’s Dilemma

Let’s parse this. The Army wants to deploy small modular reactors (SMRs) globally, which, in theory, sounds like a plot from a Bond film. But here’s the kicker: NuScale’s SMRs are the first to get U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval. Which is impressive, until you remember that regulatory approvals are like a toddler’s bedtime-always subject to last-minute tantrums.

China’s Bank Digs Into Web3: $3.8B Fund Goes Digital 🚀

A China Merchants Bank subsidiary, that most solemn of institutions, recently embarked upon a most peculiar endeavor: tokenizing its vast money market fund. This Hong Kong-based arm, CMB International Asset Management, chose the BNB Chain, a blockchain as enigmatic as it is ambitious. A sum of $3.8 billion was thus transformed into digital parchment, a testament to the marriage of tradition and the nebulous realm of Web3. One might say it is a step toward the redemption of finance-or its damnation. 🧠💸

BREAKING: Thiel’s Erebor Approved – Is Silicon Valley Bank Finally Out of Business? 🤔

Financial landscape

According to a hot-off-the-press report from the Financial Times (published on a Wednesday, no less, the wildest day of the week), Erebor has snatched up a preliminary banking charter. But hold your horses, folks! They still need to jump through several compliance and security hoops before they can officially werk it. That delicate dance could take, oh, forever. Time is just a social construct, right? 😏

Delta’s Deere Gambit: A Contrarian’s Dance with Greed and Gearwheels

The quarterly filing, a parchment scrawled with the ink of arithmetic and the breath of regulators, reveals Delta’s latest folly. They now hold 6,490 shares of Deere, their stake blooming from a mere seedling to a sapling in the span of a season. The cost? A princely sum of $2.97 million, enough to feed a thousand oxen-or, as fate would have it, to fund the next great agricultural revolution. Or perhaps not. The markets are a fickle mistress, and Delta, it seems, has chosen to dance with her on a stage built of gears and greed.

A Skeptic’s Stroll Through Booking Holdings’ $119.5M Gambit

On October 14, 2025, the fund disclosed its new stake in Booking Holdings (BKNG), acquired during the third quarter of 2025. The transaction, worth $119.52 million at average quarterly prices, suggests a confidence in the travel sector-or perhaps a belief that booking a vacation is the only thing more certain than death and taxes. To invest in Booking Holdings is to bet on humanity’s eternal need to flee from itself, a wager as old as the first merchant selling ship tickets to the New World.

Brevis Smashes Ethereum’s Speed Limits – 99% Proving Speed? Shocking! 🚀

According to a press release shared with crypto.news on October 15 (yes, we’re that cutting edge), Brevis’s Pico Prism zkVM has claimed the title of the first to achieve 99.6% proving coverage for Ethereum blocks under 12 seconds. The cherry on top? A whopping 96.8% of blocks have been proven in what the industry terms “real-time” (yes, under 10 seconds), while performing this feat on the current mainnet with its paltry 45 million gas limit. Oh, and did I mention they did this while slashing GPU hardware costs by 50%? Seems Brevis isn’t just good at proving speed, but also saving a buck or two. 🤑
