I just noticed in the top hot wallets according to CoinGecko — Trust Wallet has jumped to the lead, and it makes sense given its support for more than 100 blockchains and over 140 million users. Yesterday, they launched address poisoning protection, so security is improving. Of course, MetaMask remains the classic for EVM chains, especially after integrating with Mastercard — now you can spend directly from the wallet. But what surprised me most about this top hot wallets — is Phantom in fourth place. It’s a native Solana wallet, and its presence in the global top indicates how much the ecosys

Interesting development in the crypto world: I just learned that Justin Sun and his companies have finally settled a long-standing dispute with the SEC. The settlement came after a three-year investigation that began back in March 2023.
For reference, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Tron founder Justin Sun, accusing him and related companies of unregistered offerings of TRX and BTT tokens from BitTorrent. The regulator claimed that Justin Sun and his entities (Tron Foundation, BitTorrent Foundation, and Rainberry) artificially inflated trading volumes and concealed payments to influencers prom

I've noticed that many in the crypto community still don't understand what an AMA session is and why it’s important at all. People see it as just a regular stream or formality, not realizing that it’s really one of the best ways to get valuable information and even make money.
Let's figure it out. An AMA is essentially an open dialogue between the project team and the community. It stands for Ask Me Anything — ask me about anything. The key feature is that questions come in real time, and answers can't be rewritten or softened. It’s a real stress test for the team. That’s why experienced inves

Guys, I just found out that you can watch Instagram stories anonymously, and it actually works quite well. It turns out the platform itself didn’t provide a built-in option, but there are a few clever methods that people have been using for a long time.
The simplest option is anonymous websites for viewing. You enter the username, and you can see public stories without logging into an account. Your name won’t appear in the list of viewers because you’re not logged in at all. By the way, many of these tools also allow you to download content if you need to save something important before the st

I noticed an interesting dynamic in the market today. Bitcoin and Ethereum are confidently rising, but altcoins tell a completely different story — they are clearly lagging behind. It seems that capital is currently flowing into larger assets amid low volatility. Trading is quite calm, with no extremes. When altcoins are mentioned, it usually refers to smaller projects that are typically more sensitive to shifts in sentiment. Right now, they are simply not in investors' focus. It's interesting to see how long this market stratification will last.

I noticed an interesting trend in how major traders are approaching Bitcoin lately. Instead of just accumulating positions on the spot, it’s already becoming boring for experienced players—they’re moving toward more complex options structures.
Here’s a fresh example: the company TDX Strategies, which is based in Hong Kong, offered its clients a strategy called “bull risk-reversal.” The idea is that the trader sells out-of-the-money put options (—in essence, insurance against a drop )—and receives a premium for it. He immediately invests this premium into buying out-of-the-money call options. T

I was just following the latest economic news — the Fed decided to keep interest rates unchanged. Honestly, this was expected given what’s happening right now.
You see, the entire situation with the war in Iran is creating serious noise in the macroeconomy. Inflation is rising, economic growth is slowing down, and central banks are in a very uncomfortable position. The Fed has clearly decided to wait and see how events unfold before making any aggressive moves.
This is an interesting moment for the crypto community because economic news of this scale usually impacts the entire asset market. Wh

I've noticed an interesting discrepancy in the market over the past few weeks. While gold and silver are falling, Bitcoin remains quite resilient. JPMorgan figured out what's going on: it turns out there’s a significant outflow of capital from gold and silver ETFs, as investors lock in profits after the January rally. Gold dropped about 15% in March from a record $5,500, and silver also declined.
But with Bitcoin, the situation is different. Despite geopolitical shocks and a drop to $60k in early March, it showed relative stability. Capital flows into BTC funds remained positive, while nearly

Interesting development on the regulatory front. The Australian Senate Committee has just given the green light to the proposed cryptocurrency regulation framework. This is quite a significant moment, considering how long countries have been grappling with approaches to the crypto industry.
I know that many in the crypto community have long awaited such official recognition and a structured approach. Australia seems to have decided not to fall behind and to develop its own stance on cryptocurrencies, rather than staying on the sidelines.
What’s interesting is that this signals that major democ

I noticed an interesting trend that many overlook. The biggest players in the financial market are gradually beginning to transfer their operations to blockchain, and this is not just hearsay.
Nasdaq and the owner of the NYSE are working on a project that could transfer the stock market valued at $126 trillion into a decentralized ecosystem. It sounds ambitious, but logically, it makes sense. The traditional stock exchange operates on principles that were developed decades ago. Blockchain offers transparency, speed, and reduced intermediaries.
What does this mean? First, the stock exchange wi

Wow, I just learned about a case where an AI bot made a mistake in calculations and sent meme coins worth $450,000 to a user named X. The guy, with the username Wild, apparently was in some kind of unfortunate situation before, and then suddenly this turn of events. An error in the tip system caused him to receive a whole fortune instead of a small transfer. I wonder how such a thing could happen in a bot—shouldn't there be checks on limits? Probably, this is one of those moments when technology doesn't work exactly as intended. It's a shame that such errors happen, but in this case, the perso

I've noticed that Bitcoin is already pressuring $73k — which is quite good for miners. It seems that the sell-off of AI company stocks has finally slowed down, giving the crypto market a breather. When large funds liquidate tech stocks, it usually puts pressure on crypto as well, but this wave has weakened this time.
Miners are clearly strengthening their positions — you can see it in network activity and the accumulation of coins by major players. The Fear and Greed Index shows that the market is gradually shifting into a more confident state, although there isn't much panic.
It's interestin

I noticed an interesting point in the market. When people talk about Elon Musk's condition and his influence on the cryptocurrency landscape, they usually recall his tweets about Bitcoin, but they overlook something significant. It turns out that his companies SpaceX and Tesla together control nearly 20,000 Bitcoins, which is about $1.7 billion at current prices.
Here's the gist. Negotiations are underway for a possible merger between SpaceX, Tesla, or xAI. And if any of this happens, it would lead to the consolidation of one of the largest corporate Bitcoin reserves under one roof. This would

I noticed that trading volumes on Hyperliquid have significantly increased — the platform's tokenized futures have already surpassed $1.2 billion. It's interesting to see how people are starting to actively use futures not only on cryptocurrencies. It seems traders are now betting on oil and stocks through this platform. Such activity was rare before, but now traditional asset futures are gaining popularity. Apparently, the convenience and speed of calculations attract people. I wonder if this trend will continue or if it's just a temporary spike in activity. In any case, it's a good indicator

Here's what's interesting about the latest events on the macro front. Jerome Powell's speech before Congress once again confirmed that the Federal Reserve is not rushing to make decisions on interest rates. The head of monetary policy literally repeated the mantra about the need for patience.
This is important for the crypto market because interest rates are one of the key factors affecting risk appetite. When the Fed talks about patience, it usually means they don't see an urgent need for sharp moves. Jerome Powell's speech demonstrates a cautious approach.
By the way, CoinDesk, as usual, cov

I noticed an interesting trend in the market — the ratio of futures trading volume to spot trading volume on major exchanges has reached approximately 5.1. This is the highest since mid-2023. When futures trading begins to dominate to such an extent, it usually signals increased volatility, because prices are increasingly driven by leverage rather than simply buying and selling.
What does this mean in practical terms? The market becomes more sensitive to liquidation events. Moves can be sharp and substantial in terms of volume, but often short-lived in duration. Apparently, that’s why биткойн

I noticed an interesting point — the dividend for STRC jumped to 11.5%, which looks quite attractive in the current context. The fund is clearly shifting to give more back to shareholders. At the same time, I’m looking at MSTR, and the picture is completely different — the company has been in the red for eight consecutive months. It’s a contrasting situation. On one hand, rising dividends attract conservative investors; on the other hand, MSTR’s losses indicate problems in that market segment. I wonder how long this difference in yields will last. It seems that dividends are becoming an increa

Noticed an interesting movement on Hyperliquid — oil futures jumped 5% after yesterday's events in the Middle East. It seems the market responded quickly to the escalation of the situation.
Oil futures are usually sensitive to geopolitical risks, and yesterday's strike on Iran clearly acted as a trigger. It's interesting to see how quickly this was reflected in trading — literally within an hour, trading volumes for oil instruments noticeably increased.
It's still unclear whether this is a correction or the start of a more serious trend. Oil futures are typically volatile in such moments, so i

I noticed that Marathon's shares increased by 10% — it turns out the company sold Bitcoin worth $1.1 billion. The money is going toward debt repayment, not crypto purchases. An interesting move: instead of holding everything in BTC, they decided to strengthen their balance sheet. It seems investors approved — the market responded with a rise. Apparently, balance stability is more important right now than maximizing Bitcoin accumulation. We'll keep an eye on how this affects the company's strategy.
