A debate over XRP supply constraints has emerged among cryptocurrency market participants following circulation of exchange balance data and claims that exchange-traded funds are rapidly depleting available liquidity. 🤯
Ethereum (ETH), that fickle siren of the crypto seas, has witnessed its staking inflows surpass exits for the first time in six months. The Ethereum Validator Queue, that silent sentinel, bears witness to this tectonic shift as 2025 limps to its close. 🌌
Touching upon this curious transition, the NFT landscape over the past annum has seen a gradual decline, plodding along with barely a ripple here and there. The curiosity lies in the concentrated haunts of remaining volumes, flickering like lonely lanterns in a pitch-black night.

One wonders if the Clarity Act is also a poet.
