Ah, Blockfills, the crypto lender with a Susquehanna-sized backer, has managed to misplace a cool $75 million during the latest market wobble. Two anonymous whispers in the wind confirmed it, though Blockfills themselves are as tight-lipped as a troll guarding a bridge.
But oh, that pesky $30 ceiling! HYPE’s been knocking on that door like a door-to-door salesman with no product. Two failed attempts? That’s not a breakout, it’s a sitcom pilot that keeps getting rejected. Will it swing into a bull trap or a bear trap? Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen-it’s financial roulette!
Top legal minds from the cryptocurrency industry-those wizards of blockchain and buzzwords-are set to face off against representatives from the traditional banking sector, who still think a ledger is something you keep in a dusty binder. At 9:00 A.M. ET, a select group of these titans will gather to negotiate a compromise that could unblock major U.S. crypto legislation.

According to the brainiacs at Arkham Intelligence, there are 37 crypto wallets linked to Citadel Mining, which is basically the UAE’s way of saying, “We have a side hustle!” These wallets are currently brimming with around 6,782 BTC, valued at about $453.6 million.

Ah, prediction markets! The darlings of macro forecasting, now strutting their stuff like peacocks at a garden party. Federal Reserve economists, bless their hearts, have taken to singing the praises of Kalshi’s rate contracts, which have been as predictable as clockwork since 2022, aligning splendidly with U.S. monetary decisions. It seems this bewitching platform has been quite the overachiever, outperforming both futures markets and those well-heeled economist surveys. One might say it’s become the belle of the ball in discussions about how markets interpret economic signals-if only it had a fetching gown.
