In a world where video game empires stand fragile, GameStop’s CEO, Ryan Cohen, has ignited the imagination of collectors and traders alike by suggesting that soon, trading cards could be swapped for the ephemeral currents of cryptocurrency.
As he lounged comfortably in the NPR-sounding armchair of CNBC’s Squawk Box, he casually declared that the time has come for GameStop to pivot away from the burdensome realities of hardware sales. As costs swell like a kettle on a slow boil, the company’s newfound beacon of hope shines upon trading cards and the curious realm of collectibles, with the specter of cryptocurrency payments dancing on the horizon.
Yet, Cohen, ever the cautious maestro, insists they will gauge actual consumer fervor before delving headfirst into crypto’s swirling waters. “We’re going to look at all cryptocurrencies,” he mused, as if waving a magic wand over a haphazard deck of cards.
And let us not forget the specter of a troubled past: the ill-fated NFT marketplace, once the pride of GameStop, now lies dormant, shut down in January 2024 amidst the tempest of regulatory indecision.
Meanwhile, on May 28, the retailer announced with barely contained pride that it had procured a staggering 4,710 Bitcoin, valued at over $500 million. A hedge against inflation? More like a bet against the sanity of the universe!
This was followed by another glorious $450 million infusion as part of a grand private convertible note offering. Perhaps all this was simply winking at the alluring siren song of Bitcoin’s charms.
Traders Shifting Focus to Altcoins?
As Bitcoin struts near its majestic all-time high, around $118,700—never mind that trifling 3.5% dip from its peak—it seems the crypto market is teetering on a rollercoaster of exuberance. An infusion of $1.33 trillion glittered onto its total market cap in just three months. But lo and behold, analysts, those ever-pragmatic hall monitors of finance, warn that Bitcoin’s reign may be waning, as Ethereum’s surging forces gather momentum. They look to the sky, wondering if the crypto gods have turned their favor.
Crypto analyst Matthew Hyland boldly proclaimed, “If #ETH breaks bullish and remains bullish against BTC, there is a 99% chance BTC Dominance has topped.” He might as well have shouted this from the rooftops!
If #ETH breaks bullish and remains bullish against BTC, there is a 99% chance BTC Dominance has topped.
It is basically impossible for Dominance to push higher if ETH continues higher against BTC.

In the last month, Ether’s strength against Bitcoin has swelled, almost as if the crypto realm were engaging in some furious arm-wrestling match, much to the delight of altcoin enthusiasts.
Nonetheless, amidst the whirlpool of opinions, many insist that Bitcoin will soar to $150,000 in the near future. How they must relish in cryptocurrency dreams! 🌈✨
