🎩 Trump-backed World Liberty Token (WLFI) is about to hit exchanges, but analysts warn retail investors could take a major hit
📌 Key points:
▪️WLFI tradable on Memorial Day, Ethereum-based.
▪️Only a portion of the supply unlocks initially; insiders—including Trump’s family—hold 20%+ of tokens.
▪️High FDV listings could mislead newcomers; past Trump meme coin saw 89% crash from peak.
▪️Current trading mainly for accredited investors; a four-step unlock process is required.
▪️Advanced traders experimenting with perpetual-like contracts on Hyperliquid.
Invest cautiously: WLFI hype may inflate value on paper, but risks for retail participants are significant. 🧐

📊 Will Bitcoin drop below $100K again?
On Polymarket, 59% of traders still bet BTC will fall under $100K by the end of 2025 — but sentiment is shifting fast. Just two days ago, that figure was 68%. 👀
Market confidence in Bitcoin’s strength is growing, as fewer participants expect a deeper correction. 🚀

📈 Bitcoin wallets are accumulating at the fastest pace since April 2025 — a signal that often precedes growth 🧐
⚠️ Still, experts caution: this pattern confirms the bullish trend but doesn’t guarantee immediate upside. After peak accumulation, corrections or sideways movement are also common. ↘️➡️

🎄 Can Bitcoin still hit $160K by Christmas?
🔎 Research from economist Timothy Peterson suggests BTC could rally 44% on average in Q4, pushing it to ~$160K by year’s end. Historically, Bitcoin gains 70% of the time in the last four months, though September is usually weak. 🧐
Analysts call the current dip a “frontrunning” of the usual September slump — setting the stage for a strong comeback. Outlook: positive, but less volatile than past cycles. 📈

🤯 Arthur Hayes: The U.S. is turning stablecoins into a “capital vacuum.”
Key takeaways from his essay:
🔸 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent aims to kill eurodollars ($10–13T deposits outside the U.S.) and shift them into stablecoins.
🔸 Unlike eurodollars, stables must hold reserves in U.S. T-bills → guaranteed demand for U.S. debt.
🔸 WhatsApp/Instagram could hand out dollar wallets to billions, bypassing central banks.
🔸 Stablecoins will become part of Pax Americana and ignite the biggest DeFi bull run ever. 🚀

💥 Record ETH withdrawals from staking!
Since July 15, over 1.03M ETH ($4.7B) have entered the withdrawal queue — the highest ever. At the same time, staking inflows remain strong, with 753K ETH ($3.5B) added since late May. 🧐
👷🏻Due to Ethereum’s architecture, deposits and withdrawals can’t happen instantly, creating queues when limits are exceeded. The record outflow highlights shifting dynamics in ETH staking activity.

🏦 JPMorgan: Bitcoin is undervalued!
🔎 Analysts say BTC’s current price is “too low” compared to gold, as volatility has dropped to historic lows (30% vs. 60% at the start of the year). On a risk-adjusted basis, they set fair value at $126K by year-end.
Key drivers:
📉 Low volatility makes BTC more attractive to institutions
🏢 Corporate treasuries now hold 6%+ of supply, suppressing swings
📊 Index inclusions (Strategy, Metaplanet) fueling passive inflows
With BTC’s volatility-to-gold ratio at a record low (2.0), JPMorgan sees room for significant upside. 🚀

ETH ICO participant digs up a decade-old wallet! 💰
After more than 10 years of inactivity, they just made a tiny test transaction of 0.001 ETH. But the real treasure? The wallet holds 158 ETH (~$694k)—originally bought for just $49. 🙀
Sometimes, patience really pays off 💵
