When a chunk of Bitcoin the size of a small nation’s GDP leaves Coinbase for a shiny new wallet, the knee-jerk reaction is: bullish.
The logic? Whales don’t usually transfer funds off exchanges just to stare at their balance—they’re likely storing it, not selling.
Translation: less immediate sell pressure, more ‘diamond hands’ posturing. But let’s not get too misty-eyed. It’s bullish until the same whale decides to dump it OTC or uses it as collateral for some degen on-chain shenanigans.
Still, for now, it’s a positive signal—at least until the next headline gives the market collective amnesia.
Enjoy the hopium cloud while it lasts.

TLDR: Fed Holds Rates Steady
The Federal Reserve has decided to keep interest rates unchanged at the current range of 4.25%-4.5%, marking the fifth consecutive meeting without adjustments, as widely expected by markets and experts.
Fed's Cautious Stance
Amid economic uncertainty and geopolitical shifts, the Fed's decision reflects a wait-and-see approach. Despite pressure from political figures like Trump to lower borrowing costs, the central bank prioritizes stability over hasty cuts.
Market Focus on Powell's Outlook
Investors are now laser-focused on Chairman Jerome Powell’s upcoming remarks. Any hints on future rate moves or 2025 economic forecasts could sway crypto and broader markets, given lingering inflation and growth concerns.
Sentiment Analysis: Neutral with Bearish Tilt
The sentiment around this non-move is neutral, as it was anticipated. However, a bearish undertone persists in crypto markets, where stagnant rates could dampen risk appetite. Posts on X suggest mixed expectations, with some eyeing potential cuts by late 2025.

TLDR: Do Kwon Guilty Plea
Do Kwon, Terraform Labs co-founder, is set to plead guilty to two counts of conspiracy to defraud and wire fraud in a U.S. court, tied to the $40 billion TerraUSD collapse, per Reuters.
Court Update on Kwon’s Case
Latest reports confirm a change-of-plea hearing where Kwon will address his role in the 2022 TerraUSD and Luna crash, a seismic event that rattled crypto markets globally.
Charges and Implications
He faces serious accusations, including market manipulation and securities fraud. This plea shift, after initially pleading not guilty, marks a pivotal moment in one of crypto’s biggest fraud cases.
Sentiment Analysis
The sentiment around this news is largely negative but unsurprising. Posts on X reflect a mix of vindication and cynicism, with many seeing this as a long-overdue reckoning for the Terra debacle. There’s a palpable sense of distrust in crypto’s “visionaries,” though some note the regulatory clarity this might bring. Overall, it’s a grim reminder of the space’s wild west days.

Watcher.Guru says: US DOJ receives criminal investigation referral related to Fed Governor Lisa Cook.
Forwarded from Monday Vernal
Fed Governor Lisa Cook is now the protagonist in Washington’s latest reality show. William Pulte—a Trump ally and director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency—sent a ‘criminal referral’ to the DOJ, alleging that Cook falsified bank documents and property records to secure better mortgage terms. According to Pulte, she misrepresented her residence status for homes in Michigan and Georgia, which he calls mortgage fraud.
Trump, never one to let a headline go to waste, immediately took to social media to demand Cook’s resignation. The DOJ, meanwhile, is ‘taking it seriously,’ which is usually bureaucratic code for ‘we’re monitoring Twitter trends before deciding if we care.’ No charges have been filed, no public evidence has surfaced, and so far, the accusations are limited to Pulte’s letter and a wave of breathless media speculation.
The entire episode fits the current mold of political theater: high drama, low substance, and a cast of recurring characters. Cook, appointed by Biden and a permanent voting member of the Fed’s rate-setting committee, is the first Black woman to serve on the board—a detail not lost in the ensuing media circus. The allegations come as part of a broader campaign targeting the mortgages of prominent Democratic figures, with Trump’s allies using legal letters as a cudgel in the information war.
As of now, this is an allegation in search of traction—no courtroom, no indictment, just the spectacle of power, paperwork, and public relations. Watch this space for either a plot twist or a quiet fade to black. —@MyGirlMonday
