Will Taylor Swift Be The Super Bowl LX Performer? Here’s Why Fans Think So.

Will Taylor Swift Be The Super Bowl LX Performer? Here’s Why Fans Think So.

The post Will Taylor Swift Be The Super Bowl LX Performer? Here’s Why Fans Think So. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Faithful fans (and devoted sleuths) of billionaire pop star Taylor Swift are convinced she used her recent appearance on the “New Heights” podcast to drop clues she’ll perform at Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara this year, though no headliners have officially been announced. Singer Taylor Swift performs on stage during the Eras Tour on May 9, 2024. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts Swift, who announced the track list and release date for her new album in a two-hour podcast appearance last week, shared details on her “granny” hobbies like sewing purses and baby blankets, painting and her “very deep” sourdough obsession. Fans quickly noticed that this year’s NFL championship game is set to be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where Sourdough Sam is the mascot of the home team (the San Francisco 49ers). Swift also said she’s “really talking about bread 60% of the time now,” and fans connected that the 2026 Super Bowl will be the 60th rendition of the event. At the start of the podcast, co-host Jason Kelce introduced Swift using an impassioned intro listing her accolades and she responded, “thank you for screaming for 47 seconds for me.”Levi Stadium was the 47th stop on her record-breaking Eras Tour. Swift also said, “That’s how it works in 1973!” when telling a story on the podcast, and fans noticed Superbowl VII was that year (she’s currently promoting the release of her 12th album) and that the Miami Dolphins, who use orange as a team color, played in the game that year (each of Swift’s albums has a color associated with it, and her upcoming “The Life of a Showgirl” and its album cycle are orange-themed).

Faraday Future Plans Billion-Dollar Crypto Strategy

Faraday Future Plans Billion-Dollar Crypto Strategy

The post Faraday Future Plans Billion-Dollar Crypto Strategy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Electric Vehicle maker Faraday Future is making headlines again. This time, however, it’s not about cars. The Nasdaq-listed EV firm has unveiled an ambitious multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency strategy, launching a new “C10 Treasury” and signaling plans to invest $500M-$1B across the top 10 digital assets (excluding stablecoins). This move comes as various corporations increasingly adopt crypto treasuries to diversify their revenue, attract Wall Street attention, and gain exposure to this expanding asset class. Faraday Future’s timing is significant, too: the company is leaning into crypto just as optimism builds for an extended bull market cycle, with staking yields and blockchain integrations across the industry offering fresh revenue streams for firms that take the plunge. While its troubled past raises eyebrows, this pivot could reshape its future. And, it could fuel a new wave of 100x altcoin opportunities for investors with their eyes on the ball. Ethereum: The Core of the C10 Index While Bitcoin sets the benchmark, Ethereum is the backbone of any top-10 crypto basket. Its smart contract infrastructure powers DeFi, NFTs, and a growing array of enterprise blockchain pilots. This makes it the most versatile asset in the sector. For Faraday Future’s C10 Index, Ethereum‘s inclusion isn’t just expected; it’s essential, and likely the most heavily-weighted. Institutional investors increasingly see $ETH as the corporate-friendly cryptocurrency, thanks to its programmability, broad adoption. Its speed and cost-efficiency are an attractive prospect, too, particularly through its Layer-2 chains. With staking yields available as of September 2022, $ETH offers a unique two-pronged appeal: price appreciation, alongside potential passive income. According to CoinDesk, Ethereum staking hit record highs this summer, reinforcing its draw for treasury managers. Faraday’s decision to allocate into $ETH could amplify this trend, drive more institutional attention, and perhaps inspire other corporations to follow suit. Combined with regulatory clarity from the…
