December’s here! 🥳 We’re all getting ready to put up Christmas decorations and gather with our friends, and the market actually gave us a gift by rising slightly towards the end of the week 📈.
Here’s to hoping December will be a much better one than November 🤞. But, before you go ahead with the holiday shopping, you might want to set some money apart and open a USD Savings plan.

No DOGE For Twitter? 🐶
Last week, Elon Musk revealed his plans for “Twitter 2.0.” And surprisingly, there was no mention of everybody’s favorite meme coin – DOGE 🐶.

Indonesia is Building A CBDC Too 🇮🇩
