🇺🇸 Miami Mayor Reports 300% Profit from His Bitcoin Salary!

🌴 Miami Mayor Francis Suarez revealed on Fox Business that his Bitcoin-denominated salary brought him a 300% return. He began receiving BTC payments when the price was around $30,000.

“Now it’s up 300%. When Bitcoin hit $120K, it was nearly 400%. I’m not worried about daily volatility",

- Suarez said, emphasizing the long-term value of an asset with a transparent and trusted issuance system.

Suarez started taking his salary in Bitcoin back in 2021, becoming the first U.S. official to do so. He’s been a vocal supporter of crypto since 2020 and holds both BTC and ETH in his portfolio.

🗓 U.S. Government Shutdown Becomes the Longest in History

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has officially set a new record — 36 days and counting, with no resolution yet in sight. 👀

This prolonged deadlock is fueling uncertainty in financial markets, adding pressure on the dollar and strengthening the narrative for decentralized and non-sovereign assets like Bitcoin.

🧐 Wintermute: Liquidity Exists — Just Not in Crypto

According to a new Wintermute report, the crypto market is stuck in a self-financing loop — money keeps circulating inside the ecosystem, but fresh capital isn’t coming in.

📉 What’s happening:

🔸 Inflows through stablecoins, ETFs, and digital treasuries (DATs) have plateaued.
🔸 Global liquidity is high and central banks are easing, but the 5%+ SOFR rate keeps capital locked in bonds.
🔸 Within crypto, funds just rotate — BTC → ETH → alts → back, fueling short rallies and volatility from liquidations, not real trend growth.

💰 Key figures:

• Stablecoin cap rose from $140B to $290B since 2024 but stalled.
• ETF + DAT capital jumped from $40B to $270B, also flat.

🚀 New cycle triggers:

1️⃣ Fresh stablecoin issuance
2️⃣ New inflows into crypto ETFs
3️⃣ Growth in DAT/tokenized fund issuance

🎰 Top traders wiped out on HyperLiquid

Seven well-known traders lost tens of millions on the HyperLiquid platform, erasing record profits due to overleveraged positions 💀

📉 The market is down by half

🔎Galaxy Research reports that 72 of the top 100 cryptocurrencies have fallen by over 50% from their all-time highs.

A familiar scene — pain in the market, coins on discount, and everyone whispering “time to buy the dip.” 🧐

Perfect moment to average in… if only there were funds left 🤷

Buyers coming back? 👀

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin whales have accumulated 10,000 BTC — about $1 billion worth of coins, according to on-chain data. 🔗

At the same time, BTC is struggling to stay above $100K, with bulls and bears locked in a tight battle. Whales seem to be quietly buying the dip 🐋

🥴 Bitcoin briefly dips below $100K again

BTC once again slipped under the $100,000 mark, though the drop was short-lived. The market’s main crypto is now fighting to reclaim six digits, with volatility heating up across exchanges.

Traders are closely watching whether bulls can push the price back above $100K — or if this is the start of a deeper correction 📉👀

🚀 ZEC added another $100 in the past 24 hours, now trading around $620 — while Bitcoin struggles, Zcash seems to have its own bull run 🐂.

👀 Meanwhile, users noticed that the Zcash Foundation HQ is located just 5 minutes away from the CIA in McLean, Virginia…

Coincidence or something more? 🕵️‍♂️

📉 Déjà vu for Bitcoin?

The current BTC correction looks eerily similar to the February drop, which also followed rising US–China trade tensions.

⚪️ Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin has fallen 22% below its ATH.
🔵 Back then, it took 79 days and a 30% decline to find the bottom.

If history repeats itself, we might be only halfway through this correction ⏳

⚠️ Fake Hyperliquid App Alert

🕵️‍♂️ Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT reported that a fake Hyperliquid app has appeared on Google Play — it’s a scam designed to steal users’ funds.

💰 Stolen assets from those who downloaded the app were sent to this address:
0x8c12C21C394D9174c3b1a086A97d2C5523ABb8F5.

Be cautious — hackers never rest, especially when it comes to crypto 😠

Delete any suspicious apps and always double-check links through official Hyperliquid sources!

🚀 ZEC is already over $700!

Since July 2024, Zcash (ZEC) has surged 44x — from $16 to over $700. 🤯

Bitcoin MVRV suggests a potential bottom! 🧐

📊The MVRV ratio for Bitcoin has dropped to 1.8 — its lowest level since April, historically marking a buy zone and local bottom formation. Analysts see strong support near $99,000.

💪 Fundamentally, things look solid:

• Exchange reserves are falling — coins are moving to self-custody.
• Recent liquidations mostly hit overleveraged traders.
• Long-term holders keep taking profits calmly.

💵 With $183B in USDT and $75B in USDC supply, investors seem ready to buy once the market stabilizes.

🇺🇸 Shutdown Over — BTC Above $106K! 🚀

🏦 U.S. senators have reached a deal — the government shutdown is officially coming to an end. The bill still needs to pass the House of Representatives and get the president’s signature, but markets are already celebrating.

📈 Bitcoin broke above $106,000, showing strong bullish momentum.

🔥 Adding fuel to the rally — Trump’s promise to give every American $2,000 from tariff revenues (~$400B!). For comparison, the U.S. collected only ~$195B in customs duties in 2025.

💬 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the “$2,000 from Trump” plan could come via tax cuts, not money printing — but markets already smell free liquidity. 😎

🎰 CFTC to Allow Leveraged Crypto Trading in the U.S.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is preparing to launch leveraged spot trading of BTC and ETH on regulated exchanges (DCMs) — marking a historic shift for the American crypto market. 🇺🇸

Until now, these exchanges could only trade futures. Soon, real crypto assets will be traded under federal oversight, just like oil or gold — bringing crypto out of the regulatory gray zone.

💼 The move opens the door for institutional players to trade crypto safely within the legal framework. Participants include Coinbase, Bitnomial, Kalshi, and Polymarket.

💵 CFTC’s Caroline Pham also pushes for tokenized collateral in stablecoins by early 2026.

If successful, the CFTC will dominate the “commodity” side of crypto, while the SEC keeps control over security tokens.

🤯 Crypto Twitter Thinks They Found Satoshi Nakamoto

A viral post claims the person in a recent video is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin — and that it might be Daira Emma Hopwood, a cryptographer and early Zcash / Electric Coin Company (ECC) engineer. 🧐

📚 An ECC blog from 2019 calls her a core team member and protocol designer. Some even note that Satoshi once mentioned her name in a 2010 forum post discussing key blinding and group signatures — concepts central to Daira’s later work on Zcash privacy tech.

🇬🇧 Adding to the theory: Satoshi’s use of British spelling and GMT activity, while Daira reportedly holds UK citizenship.

👀 Coincidence or hidden truth? The mystery of Satoshi deepens once again.

🖥 Hashprice Drops to $42 — Miners in Survival Mode

The hashprice has fallen to around $42 per PH/s, pushing many small miners to the brink of shutting down their rigs. ⚡️

With rising network difficulty and growing operational costs, mining is becoming less profitable — forcing many companies to pivot toward AI computing and data center services to stay afloat.

📉 Hashprice measures mining profitability — how much revenue a miner earns per unit of hashrate (typically per 1 PH/s).
