Meme chaos with WLFI, Ethereum, and SWIFT mashed together, 67 energy

WLFI Burned, But Did It 67?

Trump-linked World Liberty Financial (WLFI) decided to toss 7.89M tokens ($1.43M) into the blockchain furnace like it was a Black Friday sale.

  • 99% of holders said “yeet it”—excluding community pools, because decentralization but not really.
  • Trump fam still chilling on a $5B WLFI bag.
  • Price? A casual $0.20—down bad from $0.40 ATH.

The vibes? Volatility meets family business, and 67% of traders are coping with “ngmi” memes.


Ether ETFs Cry Me a River (67 Days Straight? Not Yet.)

ETH ETFs went on a five-day outflow streak, losing $795.8M, while Ether itself slipped 10% to ~$3,995.

  • SEC still won’t say if staking’s allowed.
  • Grayscale’s like “fine, I’ll stake it myself.”
  • Even Bitcoin ETFs saw $897.6M exit, but analysts still calling them “the biggest launch ever” because cope is bullish.

67 energy = retail panic selling while institutions tweet “this is fine” dog memes.


Linea Pulls a 67 with SWIFT

SWIFT—the boomers’ WhatsApp for banks—picked Linea (ETH L2) for a pilot.

  • Involved BNP Paribas, BNY, and other suit-wearing megabanks.
  • Linea price jumped 14% to $0.029 like it was shotgunned with Red Bull.
  • SWIFT said: “let’s go blockchain, but make it 67.”

Institutions trying DeFi is like watching dads use TikTok—awkward, but somehow bullish.


Tether Wants That 67 Flex Valuation

Bloomberg whispered: Tether seeking $15–20B funding at a $500B valuation.

  • SoftBank + Ark might throw bags.
  • Would make Tether one of the largest private firms globally—yes, even bigger than companies with actual offices.
  • Paolo Ardoino & Giancarlo Devasini sitting on anime-villain-level wealth if this hits.

67 vibes: from FUD king to Wall Street’s awkward prom date.


Bitcoin No Longer the Starter Pack (67% of Normies Choose Altcoins?)

Survey says:

  • 10% of retail have never bought BTC.
  • Only 54% of newbies start with it anymore.
  • The rest go straight to ETH, Solana, memecoins, or “whatever TikTok says.”

Bitcoin is still the king, but apparently not the entry-level 67 experience anymore.


Ethereum’s November Fork = Fusaka 67 Mode

ETH devs dropping the Fusaka fork in November:

  • Focus = scalability + smoother EVM vibes.
  • Market? ETH dipped, whales moved 100K+ bags, RSI screaming “oversold” like it’s 2017 again.
  • Analysts say: looks like a healthy correction, not a funeral.

Fork season = ETH about to hit the gym, 67 reps only.


Final 67 Take

September was peak crypto chaos:

  • WLFI’s burn cosplay,
  • ETH ETFs sobbing,
  • Linea-SWIFT collab speedrunning TradFi memes,
  • Tether flirting with $500B flex,
  • BTC losing its starter-pack clout,
  • ETH prepping for a glow-up fork.

Crypto is still the ultimate 67 rollercoaster—if you’re not screaming, you’re not strapped in.
