qfx The grand scheme is still being finalized like a particularly stubborn Excel formula, but whispers suggest tech and crypto titans have been gently nudged into the conversation. Bloomberg’s report claims discussions are “progressing quickly,” which is code for “we’re pretending this isn’t a dumpster fire.”
“That’s messed up,” Seyffart told ETF analyst Nate Geraci in a video published to YouTube on Saturday, discussing a hypothetical scenario where BlackRock – despite no filing so far – decides to jump in at the last minute with a spot Solana (SOL) ETF and launches alongside firms that applied months ago. Can you imagine the nerve? 🤦♂️
This means Ripple can now do those fancy exempt securities offerings under Regulation D. It’s basically the fast lane to raising capital from accredited investors without jumping through all the SEC hoops. Talk about a game changer! 🚀
Avichal Garg, the co-founder of Electric Capital, with a flourish worthy of a literary maestro, drew a parallel between the AI industry and the 2008 financial crisis. “Ah, the sweet irony,” one could almost hear him muse, “that the very collapse of trust in centralized systems birthed Bitcoin, and now, perhaps, decentralized AI awaits its own cataclysmic cradle.” 🌩️
Ripple’s official vellum pronounced the marriage “the most comprehensive stablecoin payments solution available in the market,” a phrase so stuffed with grandiosity it could serve as ballast for a dreadnought. One expects the announcement to close by 2025, or whenever the last bureaucrat has stamped his fifteenth triplicate form-whichever comes sooner. 🐌
Meanwhile, the supply on exchanges is quietly diminishing-a trend that’s been ticking along since July 2025, much like that sock lost in the laundry, but with more value and less mystery. It appears investors are hoarding tokens like they’re the last donuts at a party, leading to fewer available coins and a scarcity bump that would make gold miners jealous. Trading volumes have hit around $487.64 million, which is roughly a lot of zeros in the financial jargon, and a clear sign that someone, somewhere, is very interested in this little digital rocket.
The grandees, it seems, are divesting themselves of their tokens at a pace not witnessed since the feverish days of February’s local zenith. One cannot help but wonder if the current stalemate above $2.70 shall hold, or if a deeper chasm awaits, should the buyers’ ardor not rekindle. 💸
The spot ETF netflows for Ethereum [ETH] were predominantly positive since the start of July. Since the start of July, there have been only three days on which the netflows were negative. Of that, two came in August, measuring $617.4 million in sales. The sustained ETF inflows reflect growing demand for Ethereum. Treasury firms, such as SharpLink, continue to add ETH to their holdings, indiscriminate of the asset price.
As if scripted by the omniscient hand of fate, a recent missive from the ever-so-astute Arab Chain on CryptoQuant unfolds before us, revealing foreboding data from the Whale-to-Exchange Flow indicator. It seems our beloved BTC may be facing the dreaded price correction just around the corner-of course, with that sassy hint of sarcasm we’ve come to relish.
According to Saylor, Bitcoin’s charm lies in its ethereal nature. “It’s not physical!” he exclaimed, as though revealing the punchline to a cosmic joke. “No tariffs in cyberspace!” Apparently, gold has been too busy being heavy, slow, and generally inconvenient to keep up with Bitcoin’s intergalactic swagger. “You try shipping gold across an ocean,” he quipped, clearly envisioning a world where pirates are replaced by Excel spreadsheets. “Now you’re getting tariffed!” 😈💸
