Cipher Mining (CIFR) is having the week of its life! Not only did they land an AI hosting deal for their Barber Lake facility, but they also managed to pull off a $1.1 billion convertible note offering. Talk about a plot twist, right? 🤯 According to Canaccord Genuity, this could totally change the company’s future, and they’re not just saying that to sell you on stocks.
The company puffed out its chest in the latest communiqué, announcing possession of 2,650,900 ETH, each acquired at a princely $4,141 (a bargain for some, madness for others). Not only do they hoard the mightiest Ethereum treasure, but they also stand proudly just behind MicroStrategy Inc., which, clutching 639,835 Bitcoin valued at a cozy $71 billion, rules the broader cryptoverse treasury ranks.
Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s very own ETF wizard, threw a little teaser on X (yes, the platform formerly known as Twitter). He dropped this juicy line: “Who’s ready for Cointober? Spot crypto ETF deadlines start this week! Litecoin and Solana up first. Should be a wild month.” If that doesn’t get your heart racing, I don’t know what will! 🎢💥

“All federal agencies shall henceforth commune with our AI oracles for the princely sum of $0.42,” declared xAI, because nothing says ‘government efficiency’ like charging taxpayers 42 cents to chat with a robot. 🤖💸
Retail traders, those fickle lovers of risk, are now withdrawing their funds from the high-risk havens of leveraged ETFs, as if the market itself had whispered, “Enough!” The data, a grim testament to this exodus, reveals net outflows of approximately seven billion dollars this month-a sum that eclipses all previous records since the dawn of 2019. 🧐
Combined with the fact that major “treasuries” are hoarding SOL like dragons with gold and technical signals continue to point upwards (because, let’s face it, charts love going up until they don’t), Solana stands on the verge of a new breakout cycle-or, alternatively, a spectacular pratfall. Either way, it’ll be entertaining.
