Meanwhile, spot trading is going full-on Hunger Games. Spot Taker CVD is all like, “Buy, buy, buy!” Traders are swiping right on ENA like it’s the last hot prospect on a dating app. Passive bids? Nah, they’re too cool for that. This isn’t just FOMO-it’s active accumulation, darling. And guess what? ENA’s price is finally acting like it’s had its morning coffee after months of hitting snooze.
Our trusty Bitcoin maintained its upward prance on Tuesday, climbing to a peak that made even the mountains jealous: $71,775. The digital assets, ever the copycats, mirrored the global equities’ relief rally. But, oh ho! The premier cryptocurrency couldn’t keep up the breakneck pace and took a little nap at $70,000. Volatility, you see, is its middle name, especially when the Middle East decides to throw a tantrum. Despite the drama, it still managed a 2% smile over 24 hours.
So, here’s the tea: Trust Wallet got hacked in December 2025. A sneaky little update (v2.68, if you’re into that sort of thing) slipped through the cracks, and boom-$8.5 million gone from 2,500+ wallets. Invisible, fast, and oh-so-2025. Security researchers?

Despite earlier whispers that a head‑and‑shoulder pattern might have been giving way to a cup‑and‑handle, the market has rolled toward the lowest depths yet. RIVER is on its sixth straight red day, the kind of streak that makes rainforests look like leaf‑themed past‑el drawings.
In a recent social media missive that would make a Victorian poet weep, Garlinghouse waxed lyrical about “aggressive expansion,” “ambitious acquisitions,” and “deepening AI integration.” One wonders if the AI in question will finally teach him to spell “strategic” without a thesaurus.
With sentiment bolstered by recent developments in Zcash’s funding endeavors, certain technical and on-chain indicators suggest a potential jaunt toward the $250 mark, though one must not mistake hope for prophecy.
In the latest chapter of this financial fable, a spotlight falls on former Ripple architect Ashish Birla, who, in a voice as sharp as a cockerel’s dawn call, declares that the Ledger was already encrypting assets-gold, diamonds, you name it-over a decade ago. While the broader world pretends to be astonished, the Ledger has, like a seasoned librarian, always had a record of every coin and note in its digital alcove.
