The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City had done something it had never done before: granted a cryptocurrency firm direct access to the beating heart of the American financial system.
Last week, $SLV — a silver ETF so boring it usually lives in the financial background noise — out-traded Tesla and Nvidia. Not outperformed. Out-traded. A month ago its volume was 10x lower. A year ago it was buried around the 170th-largest ETF, invisible to everyone except commodities nerds and pension funds. Now it’s moving capital like a frontline tech stock.

Calling for a “common sense application” of IP laws, Trump dismissed the idea that large language models should pay for every book, article, or video they ingest.
After months of Bitcoin dominance driven by ETFs and Wall Street’s newfound belief in digital gold, the crypto market is starting to look a little more... colorful. BTC may have carved out new highs near $124K last week, but suddenly it looks like an altcoin rally is beginning. Is it time for alt season?
Big congrats to the undisputed king of corporate Bitcoin strategy: Michael Saylor and Strategy who just crossed a staggering 601,550 BTC hodled. That’s $42.87 billion worth of digital gold, accumulated over years of relentless conviction, laser-eyed maximalism, and “buy the dip” energy.
Snoop Dogg has breathed new life into the NFT market, selling nearly one million digital collectibles via Telegram in just 30 minutes, raising $12 million and challenging the narrative that NFTs are fading away. However, for investors seeking an actual return, Bitcoin looks like the best bet and the fastest horse.
