Down on your luck? How behavioural neuroscience could help
“Luck” is not just random chance, but often comes from habits and brain patterns people can shape.
People who see themselves as lucky tend to notice more opportunities, which then reinforces that belief.
Persistence also matters a lot: people who keep going through bad periods give themselves more chances for future success, while quitting drops those chances to zero.

USDe Backing Diversification: Building Resilience Across Market Cycles
Ethena is diversifying USDe backing: Moving from crypto funding trades → adding institutional lending, RWAs, and new basis strategies to reduce reliance on a single yield source
• CeFi lending is back but safer (overcollateralized)
• Tokenized RWAs are exploding (~$27b)
• Equity & commodity perps now have real liquidity + high funding rates
Still keeps the core basis trade, but now layered with multiple income streams to survive across market cycles

Phone logs from a federal investigation by Argentine prosecutors into the coin’s collapse show seven phone calls between Mr. Milei and one of the entrepreneurs behind the cryptocurrency on the night in 2025 when Mr. Milei posted about $Libra on X.
He is named as a person of interest in the federal prosecutor’s ongoing investigation into the digital coin, according to court documents reviewed by The Times, but has not been formally charged with any crime.
