Sometimes I like to imagine that Satoshi is alive and he's just a simple dude working a 9/5 because he lost his keys in 2010

Prediction market open interest just hit $1B for the first time since Nov 2024.
Four events are driving it simultaneously:
• Masters Golf Tournament
• NBA Playoffs (sports notional volume is ~$4B on all PMs)
• U.S.-Iran geopolitical events
• 2026 Midterms (open positions that won't resolve until November)
Most of these markets take time to resolve, so capital gets locked in open positions for longer.
The playoffs run 6-7 weeks.
Midterms don't close until November.
Geopolitical markets stay open until tensions get resolved.
That's why OI keeps compounding.

Very weird decision from Tether Wallet to support just these 4 chains.
Meanwhile, there are:
$84B USDT on Tron
$7.5B on Solana
$8.8B on BSC
$640M on Aptos
At a time when every project is pushing abstraction and seamless UX, the biggest stablecoin issuer is fragmenting liquidity.

DEX perps hit ~37% of CEX futures volume, the highest level ever on the chart.

Someone spent $15M trying to manipulate Fartcoin, and it ended with a $3M loss.
It all started with four coordinated wallets that quietly built a $15M long position on Fartcoin across @HyperliquidX.
But the token dropped instead of pumping, and all four wallets got liquidated for $3M.
Here's the scheme they tried to run:
→ Build a large coordinated long position across multiple wallets
→ Wait for the price to pump
→ Take profits before the position gets force-closed
When the liquidation hit, Hyperliquid's Auto-Deleveraging mechanism automatically closed two short positions on the opposite side

Stablecoin yield is still very much alive.
