Ethereum, the silver to Bitcoin’s gold, found itself caught in the maelstrom. The bear’s paw was heavy, knocking10% off ETH in a week and dragging it down54% from the halcyon days of December2024. Sentiments soured as fast as milk in the sun, and the short-termers bled over $400M. One whale, feeling the heat, tossed3,732 ETH overboard, a cool $6.82M, on Coinbase. They stand to count a $1.8M loss, a real whale of a tale.

One must chuckle, perhaps with a tinge of irony, at the thought of these digital currencies, once the rebellious enfants terribles of the financial world, now being considered for a place at the table of the establishment. Oh, how the tables have turned! 😂 Indeed, only time will tell if this is a tale of redemption or a grand farce in the making. 🎭
Valencia, the big cheese of California’s Banking and Finance Committee, has decided that crypto investors need some protection. Because, you know, they’ve been through so much. Initially, this bill was just about money transmission, but now it’s all about digital assets. It’s like a makeover show for legislation! “Look at this before and after!”
This latest shopping spree cost them $735 million, which brings Tether’s total Bitcoin stash to 100,521 BTC. That’s about $8.29 billion, according to the ever-reliable Arkham Intelligence. I mean, who needs a yacht when you can have a virtual currency fortress? 🏰
