Vitalik's endorsement of a major ICE investment in Polymarket triggered a textbook crypto micro-pump. ETH saw an immediate 0.39% spike within one minute, stabilizing around a 0.45% gain over the next ten minutes. This is remarkably tame volatility for a Vitalik-adjacent post, more akin to a gentle breeze than the usual hurricane. The market's muted response suggests we've finally matured to the point where a two-billion-dollar announcement is just a mildly interesting Tuesday.
