DeFi Mashup: Whales Splash, DOGE Barks, AI Plots … You Could Score Free Web3 Tix

Wall Street’s feeling doggone bullish 🐕📈

GM fam, welcome back! 🌞

Brace yourselves: Dogecoin just may have officially “grown up” ~ moving from meme culture to regulated financial product.

In other news … Bitcoin’s been chilling around $110K while whales test the waters … meanwhile … billion-dollar moves have been goin’ down at the highest levels of politics, Wall Street, and global policy.

Here’s the mashup:

• 🐕 People wondering if there will be a DOGE ETF this week

• 🐋 Whales offloading BTC while $3.3B in options expired (volatility, anyone?)

• 🏦 MicroStrategy, I mean Strategy 👀, stacking more sats (blah, blah, we know) + Trump family flexing with $1.3B in new crypto wealth

• 🌐 El Salvador shuffling its Bitcoin reserves to prep for quantum security

• 💻 Stripe launching a blockchain with OpenAI + Anthropic (yep, AI x crypto crossover!)

• 🇺🇸 Senate greenlighting liability protections for crypto firms (TYVM!)

• 📈 Nasdaq moving on tokenized stocks & ETFs

• 🌎 Argentina’s “crypto dollar” soaring to 1,400 amid election chaos
  

We’re watching two worlds collide in real time: TradFi (traditional finance) and governments are embedding themselves deeper into the blockchain game, while the OG volatility (whales, options, memecoins) never left.

The signal? Crypto isn’t fringe anymore ~ it’s infrastructure. The line between policy, institutions, and Web3 culture is officially blurred.

Let’s unpack it. ⬇️
