This dramatic ascent, I’m told, is all thanks to those institutional exchange-traded products and a fresh wave of treasury companies scooping up the asset like it’s the last canapé at a Coward soiree. And one of these firms, Bitmine Immersion Technologies, believes ETH is as undervalued as a witty remark at a dull dinner party. 🍾🤭

I’ll admit, I don’t fully understand why anyone would invest in doughnuts beyond eating them. It’s not like these little glazed miracles are going to start paying dividends—or doing anything useful, really, aside from making your fingers sticky. But apparently, some folks saw fit to treat Krispy Kreme like the next big tech unicorn, sending its stock soaring last week by 26%. And now?

Since the enthusiastic, yet ultimately ephemeral, spectacle of Coinbase‘s debut in 2021, no potential offering has commanded quite the same degree of attention. It is a curious thing, the manner in which the financial world seems to crave these new arrivals, these bold assertions of innovation.
CoreWeave’s pitch deck, which I read out of professional obligation and low-level masochism, is all about AI—data centers dense with GPUs humming away like anxious bees, rented out by companies with more ambition than infrastructure.
