A few hours later, the sprightly Oleg Ogienko, A7A5’s director for regulatory and overseas affairs, took to the stage with a speech that could’ve been titled “How to Juggle Compliance with a Wink and a Nod.” His stablecoin, backed by Russia’s state-owned Promsvyazbank (sanctioned by the U.S., U.K., and others for funding defense contracts), was the sort of guest who arrives uninvited to a tea party and insists on hosting the next one. 🧨
Thus emboldened, institutions and individuals alike have flocked to these tokens with all the enthusiasm of a debutante at her first ball.
And, of course, the APT token did what any sensible asset would do when its fate is bound to Bitwise: it soared. In March 2025, APT decided to make a dramatic 18% leap, landing at a fabulous $6.48. Fast forward to October 2025, the momentum didn’t just fade away – it sprinted ahead with a nearly 30% surge, hitting a delectable $5.37. Trading volume? Oh, just a modest $3.98 billion. No biggie, really.

While the U.S. government shutdown unfolds like a bureaucratic absurdist play, investors have flocked to crypto as a “safe haven,” as if Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only life rafts in a sea of fiscal incompetence. How quaint.
Bitcoin, that eternal favorite of speculators and dreamers, has reached yet another absurd peak, while ZCash-yes, ZCash-has somehow managed to leap by double digits, as if startled by its own irrelevance.
Meet Tao, the smarty-pants blockchain powered by artificial intelligence. It’s got a limited supply, a fair launch, and follows a Bitcoin-like emission model. With half the tokens already out in the wild, Tao’s like that exclusive club you can’t get into-but with fewer bouncers and more nerds. 🤓✨
Presently, six XRP ETF proposals linger like phantoms-graceful offerings from the likes of Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, WisdomTree, Canary Capital, and CoinShares.
