Let me guess-another blockchain “partnership” where they take a perfectly good financial system and make it… more complicated? 😒 Ondo Finance, a “prominent tokenization platform,” just dropped a landmark deal with Chainlink, a “top oracle platform.” Signed on October 30th, because why not pick a random date and call it historic? 🎉 This “bridge between traditional finance and blockchain” basically means they’re slapping a blockchain label on things that already work fine. But hey, at least the basis of tokenized assets is now “secured.”

“Bitcoin’s average cost basis is $55.9K,” Ju writes, “and holders are up 93%.” A number that glitters, but the price? It’s playing hard to get, like a teenager who’s seen too many movies. Realized cap, that old reliable, is climbing, but it’s not the same as a rocket ship. It’s more like a slow-moving train, chugging along with the weight of the world on its tracks. The question isn’t whether the money’s there-it’s why it’s not shouting.

This week’s installment? A cool 397 BTC for a mere $45.6 million, because why not? At an average price of $114,771 per unit, Strategy is basically the Bitcoin version of that friend who always shows up to potluck with store-bought cookies but still gets all the credit. 🍪💸 Their total stash now sits at a jaw-dropping 641,205 BTC, acquired for around $47.5 billion. Quick math: their BTC yield is 26.1% YTD 2025. Impressive? Sure. Humble? Not so much. 😏

According to the ever-watchful Whale Alert, Ripple has liberated 1 billion XRP (a sum approaching $2.4 billion) from the confines of three escrow contracts on the first of November. The first batch, a mere 200 million, and its companion, 300 million, were dispatched to wallets of mysterious provenance, while the remaining 500 million found refuge in Ripple’s well-known treasury. A distribution as precise as a lady’s fan at a summer soirée. 🧐📜

The XRP faithful, their hearts aflame with visions of gold-backed resets and global dominance, bristle at such heresy. Mitchell Lion Heart, a modern-day Quixote, proclaims XRP not merely a coin but the chosen vessel for a new financial dawn. “$10,000 is but the beginning,” he cries, brandishing charts like a sword. SWIFT, DTCC, CBDCs-all shall bow to XRP’s might, he insists, as if the world were a chessboard and XRP the queen. ♟️💰

The $ETH price, that most capricious of courtiers, has dipped more than 5% this morn. Is there more despair to come? Aye, ’tis possible, yet lo! The 4-hour chart reveals a support zone, a sanctuary for the desperate. Behold, the descending channel’s bottom lends its aid, a beacon for the hopeful! 🧠✨

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, that most patient of bureaucratic acrobats, has finally tethered its kite to the mast of time. By November 12, 2025, it must either anoint or banish Grayscale’s Hedera Trust-a decision as thrilling as watching a cactus bloom in reverse. This final deadline, a legal straitjacket, ensures the SEC cannot dawdle further. One imagines the commissioners whispering, “Let’s not test the patience of our constituents… or the internet.”

In a move that was about as predictable as the sun rising, Ripple has, once again, initiated its monthly XRP escrow release. Yes, the ritual continues, as reported by Whale Alert, the ever-vigilant digital watchdog, who’s been on this case like a hawk with an espresso habit.

At the hour of this scribbling, Polygon lingers at $0.1809, a 12% dip over the past week and a 7% slide in the last day. The poor token is huddled near its weekly low of $0.1806 to $0.2058, having lost 24% in the past month. A tragic tale, indeed, but one that may yet find its hero. 🦸♂️
