🚨 $OM, the token of Layer 1 RWA-focused blockchain MANTRA, plunged 90% in just 90 minutes on Sunday, triggering panic across the crypto community. 📉
The team claims the crash was caused by "reckless liquidations" from a major investor on a centralized exchange — not a rug pull or insider sell-off. 👀
Still, community trust is shaken as MANTRA’s Telegram group went offline and concerns resurface over token supply control and low TVL (~$13M vs. $9.5B FDV). 🧨
Amid accusations, co-founder Mullin insists the team is investigating and remains committed to recovery.

⚖️ A 45-year-old Pennsylvania man made $12.3M reselling 97 CryptoPunks — but didn’t report a cent on his taxes, claiming he had no ties to crypto. 👀
Now the IRS is after him for $3.2M in unpaid taxes, and he’s facing up to 6 years in prison. 💸🧾
Crypto profits might be digital, but tax evasion is very real. 🤷

💳 What’s up with Michael Saylor’s leverage?
Despite the buzz online, data shows that MicroStrategy’s current leverage is actually below its historical average.
📊 The leverage indicator — calculated as the ratio of loans and raised funds to the market value of held BTC — suggests the company is in a relatively safe position for now.
No signs of critical risk on the horizon 🔒

📉 Bitcoin ETFs Struggling with Inflows Since March 🚫
Bitcoin ETFs have seen no new inflows since late March, causing analysts at Ecoinometrics to question the narrative of Bitcoin "decoupling from stock indices."
This stagnation raises concerns about the strength of current support levels for Bitcoin. The lack of new investments might signal a weakening market sentiment or could indicate that institutional interest is cooling off, contrary to expectations of sustained growth.
The ongoing silence from Bitcoin ETFs is making many rethink the bullish outlook for the asset. 🚨 Is the crypto market losing momentum, or just taking a breather? Only time will tell! ⏳

🇺🇸🎮 Donald Trump is working on a Monopoly-style crypto video game focused on real estate, developed by longtime associate Bill Zanker.
Players will build digital cities and earn in-game cash—possibly powered by blockchain tech. 🏙💸
This adds to Trump’s growing crypto portfolio: memecoin, NFTs, a DeFi venture, Bitcoin mining, and more. 👀
Critics raise conflict-of-interest concerns, especially as Trump pushes pro-crypto policies. Still, Team Trump insists: "We believe in this." 🥴

📉 Is ETH the New Nokia? 👀
A chart making the rounds compares Ethereum's trajectory to Nokia's fall from tech glory: “Outdated tech, fading trends, bored investors.”
While it smells like classic FUD, the analogy is raising eyebrows — and questions. If Ethereum isn’t the future, then what is?
⏳ For now, ETH still leads the pack. But the market's message is clear: evolve or risk irrelevance.

🚨 ZKSync Hit by Exploit — $5M in $ZK Minted
Three days ago, someone minted 110M $ZK (~$5M) via a Gnosis Safe contract 💸
Since yesterday, those tokens started hitting the order books 👀
Turns out — a ZKSync team member’s wallet was hacked. 🥷 The attacker used it to mint unclaimed airdrop tokens from the airdrop contract.
Looks like ZKSync might be following in Mantra’s footsteps… 🫡

🧐 ETH at a Crucial Crossroad: $1,546 Support Level
🐋 Whales bought 822,440 ETH around $1,546, forming a major support zone.
📉 Meanwhile, ~368,000 ETH was sent to exchanges in the past month — potential sell pressure?
📈 If whales don’t dump below that level, a 17% upside could be in play, says trader Ali.
We’d love to see a pump... but then again, it’s ETH we’re talking about. 🤷

🇨🇳 China Is Dumping Crypto 📉
China has reportedly begun offloading seized crypto through private firms to refill state coffers, according to Cointelegraph. The move comes amid economic slowdown and trade tensions with the U.S. 🧐
💥 First the U.S. spooked the market — now China is adding sell pressure.
Fun fact: back in 2020, China seized 200K BTC and 830K ETH from PlusToken scammers. Analysts say most of it has already been sold 🤯
Crypto bros dreamed of selling to governments… instead, governments are dumping on them 😅
