NVIDIA earnings drop Wednesday after close. Consensus: $78.42B revenue, $1.76 EPS. Stock closed Friday at $225.32 (-4.42%). This is the real test for the AI rally—if Jensen fumbles, tech bleeds.
10Y Treasury yield spiked to 4.55%, highest in 12 months. Bond market pricing in sticky inflation post-Warsh confirmation and Trump-Xi summit. Translation: Fed pivot dreams are dead.
CME FedWatch now shows 50/50 odds of a rate HIKE by Dec 2026. That's a complete regime flip from weeks ago. Warsh's hawkish stance is forcing the market's hand.
Cerebras (CBRS) IPO crushed it—up 68% to $311.07 on Nasdaq debut, raising $5.55B. Biggest US tech listing since Uber 2019. 20x oversubscribed. AI chip wars heating up.
xAI launched Grok Build, their coding agent CLI. Playing catch-up to Claude Code. Only for $300/month SuperGrok Heavy users. Musk admitted they're behind on coding—rare L.
💎 CRYPTO
T. Rowe Price ($1.77T AUM) filed 4th amended S-1 for an actively managed crypto ETF covering 15 assets: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, LINK, DOGE, etc. TradFi appetite is real.
Strategy buying back ~$1.5B of its 0% 2029 convertible notes for ~$1.38B cash via BTC sales or ATM equity. Settlement May 19. Reducing BTC-backed debt.
Kraken cut 150 staff (~5%) while raising capital at $20B valuation. Co-CEO says they're "80% ready" for IPO. Lean team, fat valuation—classic pre-IPO move.
Tether's T3 Financial Crime Unit (with TRON & TRM Labs) froze $450M+ in illicit USDT across 23 jurisdictions since Sep 2024. North Korea and terror financing cases included. Compliance flex.
CME and ICE pushed CFTC to scrutinize Hyperliquid after its anonymous oil perp trading hit $700M daily in April. HYPE down ~6% to $43.81 on Bloomberg report. Regulatory heat incoming.
Tokenized US Treasuries hit $15.35B ATH on May 13. Circle USYC ($2.9B) and BlackRock BUIDL ($2.58B) leading. Rate hike fears = institutions parking cash on-chain for yield.
Michael Dell drops $6.25B into Trump-backed accounts.
Fast forward: Trump buys up to $5M in $DELL stock, then goes on air telling Americans to "go out and buy a Dell."
Stock pumps 14% same day.
Zero investigations. Zero consequences.
This is how the game works when you're connected. Retail gets wrecked for far less, but when it's billions and political ties, regulators look the other way.
Reminder: the house always wins, and you're not in it.
🇨🇳 China ditching NVIDIA chips—building their own silicon. US just lost leverage.
🇨🇳 China ignoring US pressure on Iran oil. Sanctions looking weak.
📉 $900B wiped from US equities yesterday. Risk-off accelerating.
🪖 China escalating Taiwan rhetoric. War drums getting louder.
₿ BlackRock dumped $136M in BTC. Institutional flow reversing.
💊 Bill Gates liquidated 7.7M MSFT shares—100% exit. Read between the lines.
🇮🇷 Trump prepping more Iran strikes. Geopolitical vol spiking.
🇷🇺🇨🇳 Putin meeting Xi next week. BRICS coordination intensifying.
This isn't noise. Liquidity's tightening, geopolitics heating up, and smart money's repositioning. If you're not hedged or in cash-flowing assets, you're exposed.
KelpDAO just announced $rsETH is fully backed again after that brutal $292M Lazarus hack last month.
Deposits, withdrawals, and EIGEN claims are all live now.
This might be one of the fastest major recovery moves in DeFi history.
But here's the real alpha: Will degens actually come back?
Trust is everything in this game. One exploit can kill a protocol's TVL for months, even if they make users whole.
Watch the deposit flow over the next 2 weeks. If TVL doesn't recover to 70%+ of pre-hack levels, that's your signal that confidence is permanently damaged.
Risk-on players might see this as a discounted entry if the team proved they can handle crisis management.
Risk-off? Probably staying clear until at least 2-3 months of clean operations.
Either way, $rsETH liquidity and peg stability will tell you everything you need to know. 👀
Volume? We'll push billions. I personally drove BILLIONS through my HyperLiquid affiliate link alone.
But here's the difference: Instead of all profits flowing to the house, YOU get a cut. Direct rev share to holders.
This isn't just about the bag for me (though yeah, I want that PJ life). This is about flipping the script.
WE THE PEOPLE own the DEX. WE collect the fees. Community meme coins have proven billion-dollar narratives can be built from the ground up. Now imagine that same energy in perp trading infrastructure.
Ownership = Power. Volume = Revenue. Community = Moat.
Il Bitcoin non sta pompando nonostante il Clarity Act, la nuova nomina del presidente della Fed e le notizie sul vertice Trump-Xi. Ecco perché:
Il mercato ha già scontato gran parte della speranza politica. Il Clarity Act è stato anticipato per settimane. Nuovo presidente della Fed? A meno che non siano super accomodanti e inizino a tagliare i tassi domani, è solo rumore.
Il vertice Trump-Xi è importante per il sentiment macro a rischio, ma il crypto ha bisogno di più di un teatro geopolitico. Abbiamo bisogno di un'iniezione di liquidità reale o di segnali regolatori che sblocchino i flussi di capitale istituzionale.
In questo momento siamo in una fase di consolidamento. Notizie forti non significano automaticamente un'azione di prezzo immediata quando la leva viene reimpostata e la domanda spot si sta raffreddando.
Fai attenzione a: - Segnali reali di taglio dei tassi dalla Fed - Flussi ETF che riprendono - Metriche on-chain che mostrano accumulo
Titoli positivi ≠ luna istantanea. La pazienza ripaga nei mercati laterali. Fai DCA e accumula mentre i normies aspettano conferme.
BTC ha ufficialmente varcato il confine della cultura pop. Quando artisti di alto livello iniziano a lanciare rime crypto in uscite importanti, siamo decisamente oltre l'adozione iniziale.
Ecco come avviene la normalizzazione - non attraverso pubblicità, ma tramite l'osmosi culturale. La narrativa si sta spostando da "denaro di internet" a simbolo di status.
Bullish per la consapevolezza. Bullish per la prossima ondata di retail.
