According to PANews, Arthur Hayes, founder of Maelstrom, has shared insights in his latest article titled "Suavemente." Hayes discusses the U.S. geopolitical actions involving the "arrest" of Venezuelan leader Maduro and the effective control over Venezuela's oil resources. He suggests these moves aim to lower oil prices and curb inflation, providing U.S. President Donald Trump with the opportunity for continued monetary and fiscal expansion, thereby maintaining voter support during the midterm elections.

Hayes argues that in an environment characterized by "money printing stimulus and controlled energy prices," nominal GDP growth will drive up risk assets, particularly inflation-resistant assets like Bitcoin. He explicitly advises investing in Bitcoin and high-quality crypto assets, noting that Maelstrom is nearly fully invested until 2026. Hayes also expresses optimism about the privacy narrative sector, highlighting assets such as ZEC as potential leaders in the next market cycle.

According to BlockBeats, CryptoQuant analyst Axel has highlighted the current market conditions affecting short-term Bitcoin holders. These holders, defined as those who have held Bitcoin for less than 155 days, are experiencing suppressed selling pressure due to the lack of clear demand confirmation. The critical deterioration trigger is the sustained closing of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) below the zero axis, indicating a shift towards a distribution range.

The average acquisition cost for short-term holders, known as the STH Realized Price, is currently above the trading price of Bitcoin, suggesting that these holders are in a loss position. This underwater status limits their potential for profit-taking, with the $100,000 level acting as a local resistance. Despite price pullbacks, the oscillator remains in an accumulation zone where selling pressure is subdued. If Bitcoin's price reaches $100,000 and short-term holders return to a break-even point, they may begin selling, creating price pressure.

A key signal for market strengthening is when the price closes above the STH Realized Price, indicating a shift in market dynamics.

According to BlockBeats, a bug on the CoinMarketCap website led to incorrect valuations for meme coins BabyDoge and CHEEMS. The glitch resulted in BabyDoge's market capitalization being inaccurately calculated at $127.91 trillion, surpassing Bitcoin's market cap of $1.87 trillion, with a 24-hour increase mistakenly recorded at 100,549,628%.

CHEEMS also experienced errors due to the bug, with its price incorrectly listed as $0.00103 instead of the actual $0.00000103. Its market capitalization was erroneously set at $194 billion, placing it above USDT and XRP, and briefly ranking it fourth in the crypto market. The 24-hour increase for CHEEMS was inaccurately recorded at 98,132%.

The bug was swiftly corrected following feedback from the community.

According to Odaily, monitoring by The Poly Nerd reveals that Polymarket has updated its official documentation to include a 'Transaction Fees' page. This addition specifies that a fee will be implemented for 15-minute crypto fluctuation markets. The adjustment indicates that Polymarket is set to charge up to a 3% taker fee in these short-term markets.

According to Foresight News, recent data from Polymarket indicates significant market bets on Opinion's fully diluted valuation (FDV) following its launch. The probability of Opinion's FDV exceeding $500 million the day after its launch stands at 91%. Additionally, there is a 65% chance of surpassing $1 billion and a 36% chance of exceeding $2 billion. Currently, the trading volume in this prediction market has surpassed $400,000.

According to BlockBeats, Arthur Hayes has expressed in his latest article, 'Suavemente,' that U.S. actions to control Venezuelan oil will ultimately lead to significant economic stimulation through extensive money printing, which could result in a substantial increase in cryptocurrency prices, particularly Bitcoin.

Hayes explained that the Trump administration aims to boost the economy and control inflation, especially gasoline prices, to secure victories in the 2026 midterm elections and the 2028 presidential election. The strategy involves controlling Venezuelan oil to increase supply and lower oil prices, thereby appeasing voters. To stimulate the economy, the government will likely collaborate with the Federal Reserve for large-scale deficit spending and credit expansion.

Ideally, achieving a 'hot economy + low oil prices' scenario would lead to the money printing machine operating at full speed, with excess dollar liquidity flowing into various assets. Bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies, as hard assets countering fiat depreciation and liquidity overflow, are expected to be among the biggest beneficiaries, with prices soaring as a result.

Hayes also mentioned his belief that ZEC will become the beta in the privacy sector. His family office, Maelstrom, has invested heavily in ZEC at favorable prices in the third quarter of 2025. The Maelstrom team focuses on identifying at least one altcoin under the privacy theme that can lead trends and provide substantial returns for their portfolio in the coming years.

Currently, Maelstrom has entered 2026 with nearly maximum risk exposure. While the team continues to invest idle cash from various financing deals into Bitcoin, their current holdings in dollar stablecoins are very low. To achieve excess returns relative to BTC and ETH, the team plans to sell BTC to fund privacy positions and sell ETH to fund DeFi positions. If chosen correctly, the selected altcoins should outperform the market amid fiat credit expansion.

According to Foresight News, Nick, the founder of 1confirmation, recently tweeted about the capabilities of Polymarket as an on-chain intelligence tool. He highlighted that Polymarket is accessible to anyone globally and offers complete transparency. Before the arrest of Maduro, those monitoring on-chain information had already received warnings. Nick noted that while intelligent governments are also utilizing this tool, its brilliance lies in offering a level playing field for everyone.

According to BlockBeats, Onchain Lens has detected a transaction involving a newly created wallet address that received 605.58 BTC from BitGo. The transfer, valued at $56.51 million, occurred 50 minutes prior to the report.
