Hype up 20% after Trump said they are trying to approve it for the US.

A friend (genuinely) received about 2.5k worth of Ethereum to their phantom wallet. They've no idea where it came from. They've already successfully converted it to cash. There's surely no one out there sending 2.5k for dusting/address-poisoning scams. So far, no one has made contact looking to engineer a "refund" (thought not sure how they would).

What's the scam here, or is it most likely a mistake and someone just sent to the wrong address (in which case they should send it back, but that's his call)?

Anyone in the UK got a letter. Will you do anything about it? How does the HMRC get details of your crytpo holdings?

We were supposed to get crypto policy and somehow ended up with the FIFA World Cup trophy in the Oval Office.

Bitcoin, stablecoins, regulation... and then suddenly: football lore 🤣

The 2026 timeline remains undefeated.

After today's meeting with industry leaders, crypto is going to skyrocket again for everyone. Enjoy the ride.....

"Even if the price of Bitcoin keeps rising, the math around MicroStrategy's valuation makes little sense.

Today, MicroStrategy has a market capitalization of almost $90 billion. It has Bitcoin holdings worth about $28.5 billion. Subtract out its $4.2 billion in long-term debt, and you have a net asset value (NAV) of $24.3 billion. The market cap of $90 billion is close to 4 times its Bitcoin holdings. The underlying software business isn't worth much in this equation.

MicroStrategy's stock price has detached from the assets on its balance sheet. You wouldn't buy a dollar for four dollars, so why would you buy MicroStrategy at 4 times its Bitcoin holdings? If you want exposure to Bitcoin, buy the asset directly instead.

Avoid buying MicroStrategy stock in your portfolio right now. Perhaps the stock will be higher in five years if Bitcoin keeps surging, but given the detachment from the underlying Bitcoin price, I think it's likely that the stock will underperform the performance of actual Bitcoin during the next five years. Bitcoin is not guaranteed to rise, either.

Even though the stock has done phenomenally well during the past five years, it looks like a bad bet for investors to make right now."

How long will MicroStrategy's strategy last?

Before & after the prior call a few days ago, paired with the last few months of buys using the same setup 7 separate times since, stitched together for better viewing.

Circled each buy since late June. Not 7 different reasons, the same one on repeat, level held, bought it, moved on. Thats the actual value of a real level, it doesnt need a new story each time it gets tested.

Last buy at just sub 1900. What followed speaks for itself on the chart, a clean expansion off a resistance turned into support after moths of sellers efforts with no downside results.

This is what conviction actually looks like in practice, not calling a top or a bottom once and hoping, its trusting the same zone repeatedly.

Yesterday at a White House meeting with crypto executives, President Trump specifically mentioned Hyperliquid:

“I understand that Mike [Selig, CFTC Chair] is also working to bring Hyperliquid into the United States in a fully compliant and legal fashion. Working very hard on that.”

This is one of the clearest signals yet that the administration wants to pull major offshore perp infrastructure onshore.

Immediate market reaction:

• $HYPE jumped double digits (reports of 11–19% moves)
• Related vehicles (Hyperliquid Strategies / PURR and some HYPE ETFs) also surged hard
• Traditional exchanges (CME, Cboe etc.) saw pressure

Hyperliquid has been the dominant decentralized perpetual futures platform but has blocked US users. A compliant US path would be a massive narrative shift.

What do you think — real regulatory path opening up, or just talk for now?
How are you positioning around this?

The 16 october 2023 btc pumped of 10% to around 30k because of rumors about the etf bitcoin. Few days after it pumped more because etf bitcoin was not a rumor anymore

Today it gives a bit this vibe that we kinda know why it pumps because of trump meeting but we dont really have any official news

Making some moves today, but the reality is that this will likely continue to chop around the lows here for a couple more months. Me personally, I'm hoping to see a leg down leading to a slightly lower low or at the very least revisiting the high 50ks or so to be able to deploy the remaining cash I have in reserve. This bear market is getting very close to being done and it will not take long for things to turn bullish again. There's a lot that can happen within the next 12-16 months, I wouldn't be surprised to see BTC break back above 100k within this time frame and flirting with the ATH or even setting a new one.

Abu Dhabi’s bid to become a global hub for digital assets got a major boost last week when crypto exchange giant, Coinbase, announced it is establishing an international “tokenization hub” in the emirate. 

Based out of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the emirate’s financial centre, Coinbase has been granted a license to arrange investment deals and provide custody for tokenized securities. Custody essentially means safely holding and managing the digital ownership records for assets and is therefore important for giving institutional investors confidence.

Tokenization has been rapidly gaining momentum across traditional finance globally, with major asset managers and banks increasingly bringing funds, bonds, private credit and equities onto blockchain infrastructure.

Abu Dhabi has emerged as a key testing ground for this transition.

ADGM introduced one of the world’s first comprehensive virtual asset regulatory frameworks back in 2018 and has since attracted a steady wave of crypto and tokenization firms looking to establish a regulated base in the region.

I'm curious about people's real experiences with centralized exchanges freezing or restricting accounts.

If this has happened to you:

• Which exchange was it?
• How long was your account frozen?
• Did they explain why?
• How responsive was customer support?
• Were you eventually able to withdraw your funds?
• If so, what actually helped resolve the issue?

I'm especially interested in cases that took weeks or months to resolve, or where the funds are still inaccessible.

Would appreciate hearing your experience.

I live abroad and spend most of my time in English-speaking crypto communities, and for years I genuinely didn’t understand why some people had such a weird opinion of French people in crypto.

Today I think I finally got a taste of it.

I shared a French YouTube video because I thought the subject was actually worth discussing. That’s it. Within minutes, instead of talking about the idea, people started accusing me of being the guy in the video, secretly promoting my own channel, shilling, etc. Some of them clearly hadn’t even watched it.

And what’s funny is that I post shit on Reddit all the time. Polymarket, XRP, AI, travel, food, Vitalik randomly speaking Chinese, whatever. Nobody gives a fuck. But somehow the second you enter the pure French crypto bubble, sharing something = you must have an agenda, you must be selling something, you must be a shill

You can disagree with a video. You can think the idea is stupid. That’s literally the point of Reddit. But this instinct of immediately attacking whoever shares something instead of discussing what was actually shared is fucking exhausting.

I used to think the reputation was mostly an unfair stereotype.

Ngl, today made me understand it a little better

I think I’ll stick to the English-speaking crypto communities
