During an interview with the venerable CBS News’ 60 Minutes-an affair more dramatic than any ball-His Excellency reiterated his ignorance of CZ, dismissing any notion that his pardon was motivated by politics, or, one might assume, by some hidden intrigue of high diplomatic consequence. “I heard,” he said solemnly, that CZ’s predicament was a “Biden witch hunt”-a phrase that nicely combines the specter of political mischief with the mystic arts of swampy Washington.

Experts are saying the SEC’s long-running drama with Ripple is finally over, paving the way for approvals. Finally, a happy ending! 🙌

Right now, XRP is lounging around near $2.40, down almost 5% for the day-because who doesn’t love a good mood swing?

Naturally, the price of ASTER did what any token does when CZ’s involved-it skyrocketed by more than 33% in just a few minutes. Chaos? Maybe. Smart move? Definitely.

Meanwhile, ETH’s spot price has decided to take a little nap, dropping below $4,000. Investors are watching like hawks-or maybe vultures-to see if Ethereum can wake up and reclaim its throne as the king of crypto.

The whole rigmarole followed, you see, a rather unpleasant bit of bother in the crypto world on October 11th. A crash of truly spectacular proportions – $19 billion vanished into the digital ether in a single day! Quite the kerfuffle. This deal, ostensibly, is meant to soothe things. But the crypto markets, bless their fickle hearts, are responding with about as much enthusiasm as a wet weekend in November. 🤨

A new Cryptoquant report reveals that U.S. investors are finally taking a breather from bitcoin and ethereum, trading their crypto summer camp for a hammock. It’s less “buy the dip” and more “sleep through the dip,” folks.
