Trump’s Team Quietly Launched a #stablecoin Called USD1?
A stablecoin named USD1, backed by Donald Trump’s crypto venture World Liberty Financial, is now live.
It operates on both the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain blockchains.
There was no official launch announcement, but former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared a link to the token.
Why Trump Might Be Launching a Stablecoin - It’s a high-margin business. - With proper backing (like U.S. treasuries), stablecoin issuers can earn interest on the reserves while offering a “stable” crypto asset. - The potential profits are huge—5% yield on tens of billions in reserves adds up fast.
With $550 million already raised, World Liberty Financial could quickly become a major player—but also a regulatory target.
If Ethereum (ETH) ends March with a red candle, we’re looking at four months in a row of dropping prices. That’s a bummer streak we haven’t seen since the rough days of 2018 🥲
Before this, the longest slump was just three months straight—guess we’re breaking records nobody wanted!
Circle, the company behind USDC, just received a major boost. They've got the green light from Abu Dhabi's financial regulator to expand operations in the Middle East!
Here's the lowdown on why this matters: - In-principle approval from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) - Circle will operate as a money services provider in the region - USDC is now $62B strong, growing 40% in 2025 alone - Partnership with Hub71 to foster innovation and support startups - Global expansion continues: Circle is already in Europe and Japan
🌍 Circle isn’t just growing in size; it's pushing stablecoins into global adoption. Stablecoins like USDC are becoming a real alternative to traditional banking—cheaper, faster, and ready for prime time.
Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, said it best: this is about establishing deep roots in markets embracing the onchain economy. And Abu Dhabi is a huge part of that strategy.
-> What does this mean for us? More use cases for stablecoins, more opportunities to innovate in payments and remittances, and even more regulatory clarity around crypto. Circle’s approach is making waves, and we’re just getting started.

🚨 Bitcoin Could Hit $210K by 2025, Says Presto Research Head
Peter Chung, head of research at Presto, predicts Bitcoin could reach $210,000 by 2025, driven by institutional adoption and global liquidity expansion.
Despite this year’s challenges, he sees recent corrections as healthy, strengthening Bitcoin’s long-term growth.
Chung views Bitcoin as both a risky asset and digital gold, and believes it could outperform traditional assets by 2025. Institutional demand is pushing Bitcoin’s rise to $94,000 - could it double this year? 👇
🚨 Big News for $XRP : ProShares Launches 3 New ETFs! 🚨 ProShares just got the green light from the SEC to launch three new XRP ETFs, and it’s a game-changer for the crypto market! Here’s what’s coming: - Ultra XRP ETF (2x leverage) - Short XRP ETF - Ultra Short XRP ETF (-2x leverage) This move follows the resolution of Ripple’s long legal battle with the SEC, finally clearing the way for XRP to shine in the investment world. It’s a huge win for the crypto space, especially since ProShares is jumping in just weeks after Teucrium’s XRP ETF made a splash with $5 million in volume on its first day. But what’s still missing? A spot XRP ETF. The SEC is still considering applications, with Grayscale’s application facing a deadline on May 22, 2025. And there's more—XRP futures are launching next month on the CME Group! The market for XRP is really heating up, and things are looking bullish. #XRPETFs
Which Month Did $BTC Fall the Most? So if you’re buying into the "Sell in May" theory, here’s what the monthly performance from May to October looks like: - May: -7.94% - June: -0.35% - July: +7.35% - August: +1.75% - September: -3.77% - October: +21.89% 💥 October is the clear winner with a +21.89% increase. But May and September are typically the weakest months. That said, summer is full of volatility. Take 2017, for example – it was an exception where Bitcoin surged in the summer thanks to the ICO boom. But 2021? A nightmare – with -35.31% in May and a -73.29% drop in September. #BTCvsMarkets
PancakeSwap just proposed removing veCAKE, a core part of its system. While the platform has been making $20–40 million/month, the team says they want a simpler, more sustainable ecosystem.
1. Why Remove veCAKE? - Too Complex: Users found it confusing, and the benefits didn’t match the effort and risk. - Inefficient Rewards: A lot of CAKE went into bribed pools but didn’t contribute much to the burn. - Rigid Tokenomics: The system couldn’t adjust well to market changes.
2. Tokenomics 3.0: The Overhaul - Emission Reduction: Cutting daily CAKE emissions from 40,000 to 22,500. - No More Staking: All staked CAKE will be unlocked. - Simplified Rewards: The team will now directly control rewards, focusing on high-volume pools.
3. Community Backlash - Cakepie DAO and other long-term holders are upset, as their models rely on veCAKE. - Vote Manipulation Concerns: Some new wallets locked 50% of CAKE right before the proposal was announced.
-> The Outcome Despite the pushback, 99% of the community voted in favor, and PancakeSwap is moving forward with the change.

💬 $ETH still isn’t getting much love out there... but maybe that’s the opportunity? Jake from Wintermute pointed out that traders are way more hungry for BTC upside right now compared to ETH. The skew (aka the bias in option prices) shows a huge gap: BTC is looking strong, but ETH is still kinda depressed. 👉 He highlighted that ETH riskies expiring 11APR25 could be a cheap way to bet on a bounce. Translation: you can lean into the upside without paying much, because no one's fighting you for it yet. 🔎 Quick snapshot from the 25d Risk Reversal: - $BTC skew is mostly positive 🔥 - $ETH skew is still negative ❄️ - Long story short: BTC gets the hype, ETH looks ignored — for now. If history rhymes, sometimes the "forgotten" asset ends up moving the hardest when sentiment flips. Moral of the story? Might be a good time to watch ETH options closely. 🧐 #ETH #Ethereum
💥 Ethereum's Next Big Move: 4x Gas Limit Boost? Ethereum devs are cooking up something huge. 👀 They’re now testing a 4x increase to the network’s gas limit — aiming to jump from around 36M today to a crazy 150M gas by the time the next big upgrade, Fusaka, rolls out in late 2025. ✅ Why? They want to scale Layer 1 and handle way more transactions — without needing any brand-new features. More gas = more space = lower fees (hopefully). ⚙️ What’s happening now? They’ve drafted a new proposal called EIP-9678 to make it official. Developers will test hard over the next few months to catch any bugs that might pop up at those higher gas levels. Validators still have the final say — but syncing all the Ethereum clients in advance helps avoid chaos. 🧠 Quick history check: $ETH gas was 30M in 2021. It was bumped to 36M in Feb 2025. Now? They’re thinking 150M. Big jump! ⏳ Pectra is landing next month. Fusaka is expected late 2025. If you’re an ETH holder or dapp builder... this could be a game changer. #ETH #Ethereum
🚀 Stripe is stepping into stablecoins — and it’s moving fast. They’re testing a new USD stablecoin payment service for businesses outside the US, UK, and EU. It’s built on Bridge, the remittance platform Stripe bought for $1.1 billion late last year. The idea? Help companies send money across borders faster and cheaper — no more waiting on SWIFT. And it’s already catching on: in just three months, customers from over 90 countries have started using the stablecoin option. Global payments might be about to get a lot smoother. 🌍💸 #Stablecoins
Everybody shares about M2 and its similarity with $BTC so why it matters for the market
1. What is money supply? → Simply put, it's the total money available in an economy (cash, bank savings, etc.) that can be used for spending or investing. Think of it like fuel for an economic engine: when there's enough, the economy grows; too much and inflation kicks in.
2. M0, M1, M2, M3 and MB: - M0: Cash and reserves at the central bank. - M1: M0 plus checking accounts. - M2: M1 + savings, small deposits, and money market funds — the most widely tracked. - M3: M2 + large deposits, usually slower-moving money. - MB (Money Base): This includes M0 and also the stored portion of commercial bank reserves at the central bank. Both M0 and MB are incorporated in M1 and M2, which means they all tie into one another, affecting overall liquidity.
3. Why does money supply affect the market? - More money = easier borrowing, more investments in assets like stocks and crypto. - Less money = tight spending, higher borrowing costs, and lower asset prices. Real-life examples: - In 2020, the Fed increased M2 by nearly $4.2 trillion. Bitcoin shot from $7,000 to $29,000 and the S&P 500 rose from 3,230 to 3,756. - In 2022, when the Fed raised interest rates and slowed down M2 growth, Bitcoin dropped from $69,000 to $16,000, and the Nasdaq lost 30%.
4. The M2 sweet spot M2 is the key number to watch — it’s a better indicator of market liquidity than M0 or M1. When M2 rises, the market tends to heat up. When it falls or levels off, the market contracts. For instance, in 2020, M2 increased by 25%, and so did Bitcoin and stocks. But in 2022, M2 decreased for the first time since WWII, and the market felt the heat — crypto crashed, and stocks went bearish.
So, as an investor, if you want to get ahead of market shifts, keep an eye on M2. It’s your signal for when the market's about to pick up speed... or slow down.

🍽️ Million-Dollar Dinner, Million-Dollar Wallet? The cold is hotter than ever! A cold wallet named "Sun" just registered for the Trump Memecoin dinner on May 22 in D.C. — and this thing is loaded. 📦 It’s holding: - 1.2M $TRUMP tokens ($14.5M) - $SOL , $BONK , Fartcoin, MELANIA, and more 💰 Total wallet value: $66M But here’s the kicker — it only ranks 12th on the list because the score factors in both how much AND how long you’ve held. Oof. 😅 👀 Arkham once tagged it as belonging to the HTX exchange, and now people are wondering... is this Justin Sun’s wallet? The same Justin who once dropped nearly $5M to have lunch with Warren Buffett And famously bought... a banana duct-taped to a wall 😂 No official word yet from Justin or HTX. But hey — either he’s going, or someone borrowed the wallet to flex at the Trump table. What do you think? Our Sun or just good branding? 👇 #dinnerwithtrump
⚠️ Market Cap x3 but Still Down 87%? Let's talk about the inflation trap. Even if you got in early at a low market cap, you're not always safe — especially with high-inflation tokens like LDO. Why? Because when inflation (token unlocks) outpaces market cap growth, your gains can get wrecked. That's what happened to early LDO holders. Here’s the current list of tokens with heavy upcoming unlocks: → $TRUMP, $SOL, $SUI, $W, $WLD, $PYTH, $ENA, $TAO, $TIA, $AVAX, $LAYER 👉 Important: Inflation doesn’t always mean price drops — it depends on supply vs demand. If someone’s buying the unlocks OTC or absorbing them, the price holds. If not? Expect turbulence. Teams often stagger unlocks or sell OTC to reduce impact, but for long-term holders, inflation does matter — it can slowly eat into your performance over time. 📌 TL;DR: Watch inflation rates. Low caps ≠ guaranteed gains. #TokenMovementSignals #LowCaps
🚨 Big news from a #Wintermute OTC trader analyzing BTCDOM futures. According to Jake O, #BTCDOM is due for a major crash— the higher it goes, the harder it’ll fall. 📉 This move is undervaluing alts, so if BTCDOM takes a dive, alts could see some serious gains! 🤩 But here’s the big question: If BTCDOM crashes, where do alts go from there? 🤔 Keep an eye on this one! #Altseason
Despite retail investors pulling back from Bitcoin ETFs in April, big institutions are still buying Bitcoin as a long-term hedge. According to Coinbase Institutional, there are three main reasons: - De-dollarization: Fearing the weakening of the USD, they prefer holding Bitcoin instead of converting it back - Independence: Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as its own asset, not just a tech stock - Hedge Against Inflation: Bitcoin’s scarcity, portability, and decentralization make it a strong inflation hedge
