🕵️ MARA reported a $1.7B net loss in Q4 2025, compared to a $528M net income a year earlier.

Wanted to share some thoughts on an asset that's on my radar for a specific reason: WhiteBIT Token (WBT).
Many of you know I recently participated in the world's first offline crypto trading tournament, hosted by the WhiteBIT team. It gave me an inside look at their ambition and professionalism, and naturally, it prompted me to do a deeper analysis of their native token.
My conclusion after this deep dive is simple: WBT isn't a fast trade. It's a bet on infrastructure.
While 99% of the market is chasing hype, I look for fundamentally strong assets, and here's why WBT fits that criteria:
🔹 Robust Tokenomics: The token has a fixed supply and regular burns. It's a deflationary model built into its code.
🔹 Real Utility: Holders get tangible benefits—from trading fee discounts to launchpad access and high yields in Earn (up to 18%). The demand for the token is directly tied to the exchange's growth.
🔹 Proven Stability: Historically, WBT has not only outperformed BTC but has also shown more resilience during crashes. It's no surprise it's included in S&P Global indices.
And now for the most interesting part—the catalyst.
A leak just dropped that WBT is already on Kraken's listing radar. Official news should follow soon. A Tier-1 exchange listing is always a powerful liquidity event and a major step towards institutional recognition.

WBT: What Separates an Infrastructure Token from a Hype Coin? for CRYPTO:WBTUSD by EXCAVO

🤔 #ETH Vitalik Buterin outlined Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, emphasizing short-term upgrades in the Glamsterdam fork like block-level access lists, ePBS, and multidimensional gas for improved execution and state growth. Long-term plans focus on higher blob throughput via PeerDAS and gradual ZK-EVM adoption, ultimately aiming for multi-proof validation as security and formal verification mature. link

Now, scaling.
There are two buckets here: short-term and long-term.
Short term scaling I've written about elsewhere. Basically:
