Changpeng Zhao unfollowed Cathie Wood on X and then followed Claude and Anthropic; previously, on January 26, Wood said on Fox Business that Bitcoin’s recent pullback was due to a $28 billion deleveraging event caused by a Binance software malfunction on October 10.

The biggest crypto threats in April weren't smart-contract bugs.
They were North Korean operatives posing as a quant fund (Drift) and DDoS-ing bridge nodes to mint fake messages (Kelp DAO). Audits won't catch this.

Two years. Nine names. +$209B in combined net worth.

🟢 2022 → 2026: NVDA took the crown (+1,049%)
ETH went from +251% to flat. Gold & Silver only woke up in cycle B. BTC quietly delivered triple-digit returns in both.

"Sell in May" — does it work in crypto?
3 of the last 6 summers saw BTC fall from May to September. Average return: −6%.
So yes, the adage technically works.
But hold one more month and Uptober flips it: +14.5% avg.
The real rule isn't "sell in May" — it's "sell in September".

One ZEC trade is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
A snapshot of Arthur Hayes' public picks since 2024 — 2 wins, 6 losses. But the wins are big enough that it doesn't matter.

6 months of Trump headlines vs. crypto:
The market learned to fade his tariff threats — "TACO" (Trump Always Chickens Out) is now a trade.
But it still can't fade Iran. The Hormuz blockade → peace hint → deal whipsawed BTC ±6% in weeks.
Tariff theatre is noise. War risk is real.

Bitcoin Dominance everyone watches: BTC vs other crypto.
Bitcoin Dominance that actually matters: BTC vs the entire world.
2015: 0.003%

📢 STRATO has launched its Community ICO — a public Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) on Uniswap!

STRATO is a HardFi platform that combines gold and silver with a full-stack DeFi platform. It turns gold back into money by allowing people to borrow against it, and use those funds for DeFi or day-to-day spending through their MetaMask integration.

There's over $30 trillion in gold sitting in vaults and ETFs earning nothing. STRATO tokenizes it, so holders keep the asset they trust while gaining instant transferability, divisibility, and on-chain leverage. The platform already holds over $37M in TVL with nearly $5M in gold-backed loans originated.

For the first time, the public can access $STRATO. The auction sells 2.5% of the total token supply through Uniswap's CCA, the same mechanism Aztec used to raise $59M from 17,000 bidders.

🔹 Why a CCA:
1️⃣ No sniping, no front-running, no gas wars
2️⃣ Everyone who clears in a block pays the same price
3️⃣ Early bidders get more chances to fill at a lower average price
4️⃣ Entirely on-chain, transparent price discovery

🔹 Auction Details:
Pre-bid: June 3rd, 16:00 UTC
Public bidding: June 4th
Auction closes: June 10th

🔹 How to participate:
1️⃣ Hold native ETH on Ethereum
2️⃣ Use a browser wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Phantom etc)
3️⃣ Set a budget and a max FDV
4️⃣ The protocol spreads your bid across every remaining block (this gets rid of whale advantage, snipers, and MEV attacks)

🔹 Register for the pre-bid period: strato.nexus/auction
🔹 Partcipate on Uniswap at: https://app.uniswap.org/explore/auctions/ethereum/0xfFDab1083fCbBCEE32997795388B3D61Ebab786E
