πŸ’» Laptop Trader Faces $197,000 Loss

One trader recently plunged $200,000 into LAPTOPβ€”only to see nearly the entire position wiped out shortly after launch.

The trader pulled $250,000 from Binance and bought 919 LAPTOP tokens at an average price of around $218. After the sharp downturn, the holding dropped to a value of just $3,000β€”locking in an unrealized loss of $197,000, or about 99%.

πŸ₯Έ What Really Happened to the LAPTOP Token?

Hunter Biden on the LAPTOP crash: β€œTeam tokens are locked. No one on our side sold β€” or could have sold. I personally made zero profit.”

The token plummeted 95–99% from its near-$200 high within hours of launching on Base. Out of 15,206 wallets, 12,151 β€” about 80% of traders β€” ended up in the red.

Biden attributes the collapse to liquidity issues, not a rug pull, pointing to overwhelming demand, sniper bots, and technical glitches. All team tokens are locked for six months, with a two-year vesting schedule.

Moving forward, his foundation plans to inject 4 million tokens into liquidity pools and permanently burn an additional 10 million.

βš™οΈ Trump Proposes $5,000 Payouts

Trump has pledged to send $5,000 to every adult in the U.S. if Republicans maintain control of both the House and Senate following the midterm elections.

With around 240 million adults nationwide, the total cost could reach approximately $1.2 trillion. He attributed the potential funding to the β€œhuge economic success” of his policy agendaβ€”a claim made as his approval ratings face a downturn.

✊ SEC Eyes Blockchain as Official Ownership Registry

The SEC is proposing a major shift: using blockchain as the primary ownership registry for tokenized stocks. Right now, on-chain records and traditional off-chain shareholder lists run in parallel β€” but only the off-chain version holds legal weight.

This new proposal aims to modernize decades-old transfer agent rules by phasing out redundant paper-based systems. Blockchain records would become the source of truth, eliminating the need to maintain and reconcile dual registries. Key controls like identity verification and transfer restrictions would stay embedded in the token itself.

One major benefit? Inheritance transfers could be processed in as little as one day β€” down from the current three to five.

πŸ‘¨β€βš–οΈ Man Files Lawsuit Against OpenAI Over ChatGPT Interaction

A 34-year-old from California is suing OpenAI, claiming that during a manic episode, ChatGPT failed to question his religious delusionsβ€”and instead validated the belief that he might be Jesus or the messiah.

The plaintiff states he disclosed his bipolar disorder and expressed concerns about delusional thinking, yet the AI continued engaging with and reinforcing his idea of a β€œspecial mission.” The incident culminated in a suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization. He argues that OpenAI lacks sufficient protections for users experiencing psychosis or mania.

☝️ Pump.fun Unveils Holder Rewards Program

Pump.fun (PUMP) has officially launched its new Holder Rewards system, retiring the previous cashback model. Instead of cashback, trading fees now feed into a dedicated distribution wallet and are automatically distributed to eligible holders multiple times per hourβ€”proportionally based on holdings.

To qualify, users must hold at least $20 worth of tokens. Rewards are paid in the native currency of the trading pair: SOL for SOL pairs, and PUMP for PUMP pairs. For new tokens, creators can now choose between creator fees or enabling Holder Rewardsβ€”no other options are available.

Existing protocol fee structures remain intact. SOL and USDC pairs continue with their tiered fee schedules, while custom pairs support fixed fees ranging from 0.01% to 3%, set permanently at launch.

PUMP is up +4% following the announcement.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ 18 States Push Back Against Clarity Act

Attorneys general from 18 U.S. states are opposing the current version of the Clarity Act, warning it could undermine state authority to police crypto-market fraud and safeguard investors.

In their view, the bill grants the SEC a β€œunilateral right to revise the scope of federal preemption,” which might override state-level regulationsβ€”such as local registration rules for crypto platformsβ€”not just those tied to digital assets. They’re urging Congress to protect states’ ability to oversee the crypto space and pursue enforcement actions.
