Bitcoin, that most fickle of suitors, led the charge with £405 million in outflows, while short-Bitcoin positions dwindled by £9.2 million-a most unromantic decline. Ethereum, ever the loyal companion, followed with £116 million in losses. Multi-asset funds, Binance, and Aave also faced the cold shoulder, shedding £21 million, £3.7 million, and £1.7 million respectively. One might say the market’s heart has grown colder than Mr. Darcy’s first proposal! ❄️
But here’s the kicker: Over the past 24 hours, the SHIB burn rate decided to take a nap-no, a napalm bath-collapsing 94% despite a recent pep talk from SHIB’s very own social media guru, Lucie. 📉 Because nothing motivates a community like a lukewarm tweet from a team member, right?

Well, it’s not as impossible as finding a golden ticket in a Wonka Bar, but it’s close.

This time he has set forth a more concrete timeline for Bitcoin’s inevitable ascent to the lofty height of $1 million. Yes, indeed! Not just any old vague promise-this time, he’s got dates! Well, sort of. Think of it as a celestial calendar for the financially adventurous.
Behold, BlackRock-the Leviathan of asset management-whose BUIDL treasury fund (a name so painfully crypto it hurts) has swollen to $500 million. Built on Ethereum (via Securitize, because even giants need training wheels), it settles on-chain while maintaining the regulatory rigor of a Swiss boarding school. Naturally, it’s now the largest tokenized treasury product-a title as thrilling as “World’s Most Exciting Spreadsheet.”
On January 10, TRM dropped a bombshell in its upcoming 2026 Crypto Crime Report, revealing that illicit cryptocurrency inflows hit an all-time high of $158 billion in 2025-145% higher than last year! 📉📈 The report, penned by the TRM Team, notes that while the absolute volume surged, its share of total crypto activity dipped to a measly 1.2% of overall volume. How quaint! 💸
Ah, the sweet stench of revolution! Polymarket’s gamblers, those modern-day oracles with wallets fatter than their consciences, now decree a 60% chance Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will be shown the exit by 2026.
