Bitcoin finally took a breather after a rocket-fueled weekend and early week, falling back a few percent. Still, one fascinating story that emerged was that US Bitcoin ETFs flipped US gold ETFs by assets under management. Elsewhere, President-elect Donald Trump met with the Crypto.com CEO and the exchange dropped its lawsuit against the SEC on the same day. Then, Pudgy Penguins launched its token, which encountered heavy volatility alongside the NFT collection's floor price, but the short-term numbers did not tell the full story.
