Bitcoin’s Million-Dollar Drama: Did Ether ETFs Really Outshine, or Just Outstubborn?

Thus began another storied week in the land of crypto markets, where optimism springs eternal, and investors collectively decide to have faith (or delusions, depending on whom you ask). Bitcoin ETFs, which the previous week mulled their place in the universe, abruptly remembered their purpose and hurtled back with vigor, as if frightened of being upstaged by their Ethereum cousins. Bitcoin ETFs, not content with subtlety, chose to rally almost all their forces around Blackrock’s IBIT—the Napoleon of index funds—which single-handedly hoarded $147.36 million, presumably while humming “Ode to Joy.” Fidelity’s FBTC, perhaps nursing an existential crisis, managed a respectable $30.88 million, while Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust took the moniker “mini” to heart and contributed but $10.98 million.

Whirlpool’s Imperial Dream and the Art of Losing Shares Gracefully

Let us rewind our reels: Whirlpool, with its grand American factories puffing proudly along the Michigan horizon, has long offered itself as the eventual darling of tariff fencing and trade war theatrics. Surely, with foreign interlopers boxed out, wouldn’t Joe from Kalamazoo buy a fourth washing machine just for politics’ sake? And yet—eel-like, profit slimed through management’s fingers. For all the patriotic talk, the real business has been in brisk pre-tariff stockpiling of Asian imports, as competitors staged a clever game of “Beat the Customs Officer.”

Whales Dive Deep: 130M DOGE Bought in 24 Hours 🐳💰

After languishing in the doldrums between $0.17 and $0.21, DOGE finally broke free, surging through the $0.25–$0.26 resistance zone.

Ethereum’s Lucky Break? Bitmine’s Billion-Dollar Buyback & the Alchemy of 5%

The master plan, blessed by the board (remember, they get bored too), lets Bitmine purchase shares either on the open market or through clandestine negotiations—because who doesn’t love a little financial espionage?
