Bank of America: Ruble Outshines All in 2025—US Dollar Takes a Hit

Image
The currency dynamics have started to diversify as the world now inches closer to a multipolar currency world. The current world is now largely dictated by a group of currencies emerging at the top of the radar, all while challenging the US dollar hegemony by striking at its core. With versatile trade mechanisms emerging, multiple countries are now trading in dollars, giving power to the rising USD competitors. Shockingly, US sanctions on Russia were supposed to weaken its global positioning, but the move has reportedly backfired.

Joe Lubin's Sharplink crashes 91% in two weeks amid ETH treasury panic

Sharplink Gaming, one of the largest ether (ETH) treasury companies, had a meltdown in after-hours trading yesterday as its shares crashed from $33 at NASDAQ’s closing bell to below $11 by 8pm. Two weeks ago, Sharplink shares (SBET) were worth $124, meaning they’ve shed 91% of their value since this all-time high. Panicked over a seemingly surprise announcement of shareholder dilution, a viral tweet from The Block’s Steven Zheng claimed, “Basically every participant in SBET’s private placement filed to dump all their shares less than a month after they announced the ETH Treasury Strategy move.” Concerningly, trading volume for Sharplink exploded over 10X higher than its average, and its single-day loss on a percentage basis exceeded any prior trading day .

Shiba Inu ATH Is 'Programmed,' Says Strategist Amid Major Token Burns

Image
Shiba Inu all time high predictions have catalyzed significant momentum right now as community strategist YourPOP declares that SHIB’s next peak “is programmed.” The crypto is trading at $0.00001323 with a 2.14% daily increase, and it remains 85% below its October 2021 record across various major market segments. Shiba Inu’s token burn mechanism through Shibarium has spearheaded the elimination of over 56 billion tokens, creating deflationary pressure that supports the programmed all time high narrative through several key strategic initiatives. Current Shiba Inu price prediction models suggest this systematic approach could accelerate SHIB to new heights as adoption maximizes across multiple essential ecosystem components.

The Liquidity Challenge: Why Diamonds Are Hard to Trade and how Thesaurum Changes That With the First Blockchain-based Marketplace for Diamond Trading

Image
Diamonds have remained difficult to trade, mainly due to liquidity issues that hamper easy buying and selling. For years, the process of trading diamonds has been complicated by a series of barriers that have kept the market largely inaccessible to everyday investors. Thesaurum, a forward-thinking company, is working to solve these problems and open up the diamond market to everyone. The Challenge of Diamond Liquidity Liquidity, in simple terms, refers to how easily an asset can be bought or sold without significantly affecting its price. Stocks, for instance, can be traded in seconds, but diamonds are a different story.
