Total net inflows hit $996 million last week, which is impressive unless you’re comparing it to January’s $1.4 billion. But hey, second best is still better than being in a support group for forgotten crypto projects.
Now, hold onto your hats, because since its grand debut in December 2024, this platform has racked up an eye-watering $1.1 billion in cumulative trading volume. And if that’s not impressive enough, they’ve also managed to charm a staggering 77,000 monthly active users. I mean, who needs traditional DEXs when you’ve got Catapult, right? It’s like the new kid on the block who just stole the spotlight at the school dance.
Oil prices? A rollercoaster so wild, it’s probably got its own theme park. USOIL dropped 11% faster than you can say “market volatility.” One minute it’s $90, the next it’s a five-week low of $80. Spoiler: the traders knew something the rest of us didn’t.
According to local reports, in the past week alone, more than 80 cases of online investment fraud have been logged, with losses surpassing HK$80 million (a staggering $10.2 million). It seems the scammers are getting smarter-or perhaps we’re just getting more gullible-using advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to cook up schemes so believable, even your skeptical Uncle Larry would be tempted to invest. And let’s face it, if Larry can be fooled, what hope do the rest of us have?
This recent positive trend might be at risk, as Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Ghalibaf, has disputed several claims made by the U.S. President.
Under the Howey Test’s stern gaze, the judge found no “common enterprise”-a pillar of securities law. “Where,” he scoffed, “are the shared profits? The ledger shows naught but the plaintiff’s folly.” Thus, the case was struck from the docket.
The stablecoin issue? A dance of the damned. Banks and crypto firms, two warring factions of the digital age, nearly tore the bill to shreds. But lo! The White House, that gluttonous puppeteer of all things political, stepped in like a matchmaker for the apocalypse. “We had to serve as a mediator,” Witt declared, “bringing the banks and crypto companies together… not to say either side is thrilled.” Ah, yes-because nothing says “harmony” like a room full of people gritting their teeth.
Upon returning to his abode and connecting this dubious device to Ledger Live-safely downloaded from the hallowed grounds of ledger.com-our intrepid researcher encountered a most disheartening revelation: the Genuine Check failed. This prompted him to unsheathe the device and peer into its innards, much like a curious child dissecting a frog in science class.
Our favourite metric, Inflows to Exchanges, has made a grand entrance. Exchange reserves have swelled to a mind‑boggling 81.5 trillion SHIB, a clammy reminder that more tokens are now casually lounging on trading platforms. To make it even tastier, exchange net‑flow has spiked by almost 6%, meaning approximately +400 billion SHIB skated onto exchanges in a blink. When capital lands on an exchange, it usually hints at a desire to sell rather than to stoically hold, so this isn’t a bland, neutral drift.
In a missive dispatched via the modern-day oracle, X, Edwards chronicles the betrayal of the Bitcoin mining industry. Like Judas with a motherboard, major public mining companies have turned their backs on the blockchain, seduced by the glittering promises of AI.
