Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have finally stopped crying and started net inflows-$355 million, to be exact. Seven days of sob stories about outflows? Over. Tax-loss harvesting and de-risking? Sounds like Wall Street’s version of a spa day 🏖️.
On Natalie Brunell’s Coin Stories (Dec. 30), Kang argued that Bitcoin’s woes aren’t its fault but rather the result of living in a universe still haunted by macroeconomic uncertainty, tech stock tantrums, and the lingering trauma of 2020. “It’s not Bitcoin’s fault the Fed’s a drama queen,” he probably said, sipping a latte made from his own cryptocurrency dividends.
It is a curious thing, this resurgence. The network, once plagued by chaos, now hums with the quiet confidence of a man who has finally mastered the art of balancing his accounts. Yet, one cannot help but wonder: is this a true awakening, or merely the feverish dream of a system desperate to prove itself? 🤔
According to those who track such things (crypto.news, in this case), TRX wobbled around a bit, peaking at $0.286 on December 31st, before settling for a quiet life at $0.284. Which, as of today, is 5% better than its December slump and a whopping 35% up from its annual low. So, progress. Sort of. 🎉
Picture it: by late December 2025, prediction markets boasted over $4.5 billion in weekly notional volume-think of it as the crypto world’s record-breaking marathon, with an extra shot of adrenaline. This was a nifty 12.5% jump week-over-week, perhaps signaling that the old joke about ‘predicting the unpredictability’ is finally giving way to actual serious money.
On the higher timeframe, Ethereum is still stuck in a Wyckoff Accumulation structure 📚, a never-ending cycle of accumulation and consolidation 🤯. After the Selling Climax (SC) and Automatic Rally (AR) phases, ETH spent an extended period in Phase B, marked by volatility and repeated tests of demand 📊. It’s like watching a cat chasing its tail – entertaining, but ultimately, going nowhere 🐈.
Buterin sagely observes that the strings of checks and balances, once the fabric holding our societal circus together, are fraying like a proletarian’s knitwear in a vigorous debate. The 21st century, it appears, is but a tear in the frill. The grand puppeteers have cast aside their ethical marionettes.
Bitwise, the crypto version of a person who’s convinced they’re a genius, has once again thrown its hat into the ring. The ETFs would track assets like Zcash, Sui, and Hyperliquid. Because who doesn’t want to invest in a cryptocurrency named “Hyperliquid”? 💸
BlackRock quietly transferred $214 million worth of Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] to Coinbase Prime, as if the crypto gods had whispered, “Time to liquidate, darling.” 🕵️♂️
Santiment, the analytics firm with a budget for graphs and a questionable sense of humor, just dropped a post claiming social media’s buzzing with BTC bullishness. Their secret sauce? Filtering “higher” and “above” to find the shiny optimists, while “lower” and “below” hunt for the grumpy bears. Groundbreaking stuff, right? 🕵️♂️
