Sonic previously known as FTM, even though it is a great project, one of the best blockchain in the market, very fast, decentralized, very good team behind, but people left this chain.
Its not getting enough attention no matter what it does. Recently they defined the defi by creating great DEX like $shadow, people are leaving. TVL is getting out everyday.
The price 0.3 is very psychological level for this coin. But as far as I remember, the lowest point of FTM was around 0.11$ . People are buying the dip. I am calling for a short here. Very quickly it will go down to 0.25$ Only once the price go below 0.3$
The list of airdrop I got within last 1 months. Is not bad. I was lucky cos very few people were doing it when In started.
However, it has gone mad since last 15 days or so. Now, is it worth starting to collect alpha points? No, if you are lazy.
Its not easy anymore. You have buy sell without slippage and you should try to sell at slightly higher price from your buying price. For example, if you buy at 0.4255, you should sell 0.4256. It takes time.
Why the Crypto Market Is Falling and What It Means for Investors
The cryptocurrency market has faced a sharp downturn in the wake of escalating geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel.
On June 12, 2025, reports emerged that Israel had carried out a targeted strike on Iranian military infrastructure linked to its nuclear program. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks.
Bitcoin dropped below $104,000, triggering over $1 billion in crypto liquidations. Other major tokens followed suit, reflecting a rapid shift in sentiment.
This isn’t the first time geopolitical instability has hit risk assets. Investors typically flee to safe havens like gold, the U.S. dollar, and bonds during uncertain times.
The stock market didn’t escape either. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures dipped by 1.5–2%, and oil prices surged over 10% on fears of supply disruption in the Gulf.
A spike in oil prices also raises concerns about renewed inflation, which could prompt central banks like the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher for longer—another headwind for speculative assets.
So, is this a buying opportunity?
Caution is key. While previous conflict-driven drops in crypto often led to quick recoveries, the depth of this crisis remains uncertain.
Buying into panic can work, but only with clear risk management and long-term conviction.
In short: markets are nervous, not broken. Stay alert.

So many things happening, Circle IPO is out in the market trading at 71$, causing Halt temporarily. But the most interesting thing is going in between Trump and Elon.
Recently, Trump threw some serious shade at Elon Musk during a rally. He said:
“The easiest way for the government to save money is to cut the billions and billions of dollars in subsidies going to Elon Musk.”
Ouch.
This came after Elon criticized the U.S. government pretty harshly. He said the federal budget deal (which Trump supported) was:
“A disgusting abomination.”
Elon was pissed that $1.7 trillion in spending passed without anyone really reading the bill, and without any plan to reduce the country’s $34 trillion debt. He basically said, “You can’t just keep spending like crazy and hope for the best.”
Elon also claimed he wasn’t consulted on this big spending plan, even though he was literally appointed to co-head the new “Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)” — a hilarious name, considering his love for Dogecoin.
So now Trump’s likely thinking:
“Oh, you don’t like my spending plan? Fine, let’s cut your money then!”
⸻
🥊 TL;DR: • Elon criticized the government’s insane debt and Trump-backed spending bill. • Trump clapped back by threatening to cut off Musk’s subsidies. • Billionaire bromance: officially on pause.
$1.5B AI Startup Bankrupt After Investors Discover “AI” Was Actually Ajay and Imran
Builder.ai, once hyped as a revolutionary no-code AI company and backed by Microsoft, has spectacularly gone bankrupt after it was revealed their “cutting-edge AI” was actually a room full of sleep-deprived Indian engineers.
The company promised apps built by artificial intelligence. Turns out, the “intelligence” was very real — just not artificial.
One ex-employee confessed, “Our AI was so advanced, it even drank chai and took lunch breaks.”
When reached for comment, the CEO said, “We never lied. We just let people assume AI stand for ‘Available Indians.’”
Tech world’s takeaway? Next time, look under the hood before buying the hype. Or at least check if your AI has a LinkedIn profile.
Champions league final, we have fan tokens, PSG, but we don't have Intermilan token, Poeple watching it live in the stadium will trade these two tokens live. Very hard for us to catch it.
When PSG scores, the price will go up, and if Inter scores, PSG will dump, even a RED card can cause dump. Not only watch the match, watch the price action too. Usually before the end of the match, price will get back to the lows of today chart. Winning doesnt' mean it will continue going up.
Bitcoin Is at All-Time Highs — But It Doesn’t Feel Like It
We’re currently at Bitcoin’s all-time high, yet the market sentiment doesn’t reflect that. Unlike previous ATHs marked by euphoria and hype, this one feels eerily calm—almost disconnected. There’s no retail mania, no frenzy on social media. It’s different this time.
The Fear & Greed Index sits at 72—greedy, but far from extreme. That’s why I’m calling this a Disbelief Rally. It feels like institutions are the ones driving this pump, not retail investors. If momentum continues, we could see BTC hit $120K–$130K in this phase.
Meanwhile, macroeconomic cracks are showing. There’s growing concern about sovereign debt. Japan recently failed to attract buyers for its government bonds—forcing the government to step in and buy its own debt.
Yesterday, the U.S. Treasury auctioned $16B in 20-year bonds, which historically has had little impact on markets. But this time was different. Demand was shockingly low. No one wants U.S. debt anymore. And quietly, the Federal Reserve had to step in and purchase $50B worth—essentially monetizing debt. This undermines confidence in the credit markets and could lead to currency devaluation.
Long-dated bond yields (20- to 40-year) are rising, signaling declining trust in the system. That’s bullish for hard assets like Bitcoin and gold. At the moment, gold looks overbought, which may explain why Bitcoin is outperforming—it’s becoming the more attractive hedge.
If this sentiment persists, Bitcoin at $500K in the coming years is not out of the question—possibly sooner than we expect.
However, a word of caution: historically, every time Bitcoin experiences a golden cross, it tends to retrace by around -10% once the rally cools down. So while the long-term outlook looks strong, short-term pullbacks are still likely.
The Only Way to Get Rich in Crypto Without Getting Lucky
The stories we hear about people becoming successful in crypto—most of them are because of luck. For example, someone bought Bitcoin at $1 in 2010, and even when it went up to $100, they didn’t sell. These kinds of people were not smart, just lucky. Those who held Bitcoin and became rich—they didn’t do it with deep analysis. They were lucky.
People who got rich from memecoins like Doge, Shiba, Pepe—they were also lucky. Yes, these coins made millionaires, but if someone says they knew what they were doing—that’s not true. Meme coins are gambling. Everyone should accept that now.
Now let’s talk about investing early in real crypto projects. It’s not easy at all. If a solid project is raising funds, will you invest? Even if you do, there’s no guarantee they’ll give you profits. Actually, good projects don’t ask regular people for money. They raise funds from big names like Binance, Coinbase, or top VCs. Even if you have a billion dollars, they won’t take money from you.
So forget the seed round. Maybe you can get into the ICO round—but that’s also very risky. Because in ICOs, tokens unlock slowly—you don’t get everything at once. And when you finally get them, the price is already down by 50%.
Even choosing which ICO is good or bad is hard. When Ethereum first came out, many people thought it was a scam. They said, “Slow blockchain—what will smart contracts do?” Now, ETH rules the smart contract world.
The 2017 bull run was basically a big ICO run. New ICOs launched every day—and 99% were scams. Just like today, thousands of new memecoins are launching, and 99.9999% of them won’t survive even one day.
So the question is: Can you really get rich in crypto without luck?
Yes, you can earn from crypto. But turning $10,000 into $1 million—that’s not realistic without luck. Most people have less than $10,000 in crypto. To become a millionaire, you need 100x returns.
Even if you’re a pro trader or a day trader, some months you might earn $3,000 or even $10,000. But making $900,000 overnight? Not possible.
Even if you invest in good projects and hold them, I don’t think you’ll become rich. Buying BTC now won’t give you 100x. ETH won’t either. With SOL or BNB, you’ll grow slowly.
So what do you need?
You need a trading strategy—one that lets you trade frequently. A scalping strategy where you can trade BTC using 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts. Yes, I used to laugh at people trading on 1 or 5-minute charts. I used to call them gamblers. But now I say—there’s no better way.
If you can make big profits on 1-hour, 4-hour, or 1-day charts, that’s great. Keep doing it. I’m not saying you should only do short-term trading. You should do both—long and short timeframes. Set a fixed time every day, maybe 4 hours, to do high-frequency trades.
It doesn’t have to be 4 hours in one go. Trade when the market is active—when there’s volatility. But your risk-reward ratio must be perfect.
Even if 6 out of 10 trades lose money, if the other 4 give bigger profits, you can still be in profit. The math is simple—you can figure it out.
The hard part is fixing your strategy. Remember: A successful trade doesn’t mean profitable. A successful trade means you followed your strategy—whether you made profit or loss. If you stick to your plan, that’s the real win. If you can do that—you’re already halfway to being a millionaire.
Yes, do long-term trades too—but becoming a millionaire takes time. If you do 4 trades a day, 2 win, 2 lose—that’s normal. You’ll have to keep doing that for life.
Show me one person who got rich from futures trading for 2 years straight. You won’t find one. But you’ll find many who got rich from memecoins. People get rich with spot trading—not futures.
I built a trading bot that trades 24/7. I’m improving it daily. But still, manual trading gives me better profits.
If you have $10,000 and can double it every year—it will still take 7 years to be a millionaire. It sounds easy in numbers—but in real life, it’s a battle.
Yes, you can get stable, steady monthly income from crypto. But you will face losses sometimes. If you manage risk properly, grow consistently, and stay focused—you can become a millionaire. Even if not in 7 years—maybe in 14. And that’s not bad at all.
You need a target. Without a target, you won’t take the right risks at the right time.
For example, on April 9, the market crashed. That day, you should’ve invested at least 50% of your portfolio. Because many coins were 90–95% down from all-time high. A technical bounce was expected—and it happened. Within 30 days, many coins did 2x or 3x. If you took a bigger risk, you could’ve made big gains.
To take that kind of risk—you need a clear target. Write your goal and hang it on your wall.
There’s a saying: You make money in crypto only in the third bull run. The first two are just learning phases.
So will you wait for that third bull run—or take action now? That’s your decision.
Let’s say you have some dollars lying idle in your wallet, not invested anywhere at the moment. Then this might be the right opportunity for you.
You can buy the SXT token in the Spot market. After buying, go to Binance Earn and stake it, where you’ll receive a 27% staking reward. Since this is flexible earning, it means you can unstake theb tokens anytime and bring them back to your wallet.
Now, this SXT token is new. Since the majority of tokens have been distributed via airdrop, it’s natural for the public to dump them. So, here’s what you can do — whatever amount of SXT you buy in the Spot market (let’s say you buy $1000 worth of SXT), go to the Futures market and open a short position with $100 at 10x margin.
On one side, you’re earning 27%, and on the other side, you’re also receiving funding fees by shorting in the Futures market. The more dollars you have, the more reward you can earn. According to my analysis, there’s hardly any risk of loss in this setup — you will likely make some profit.
Anyway, here are some quick facts about the token: • Total supply is 5 billion • Around 1.4 billion tokens (28%) have already been unlocked, mostly given away via airdrop • Chainlink stakers alone received 1 billion tokens as airdrop • Binance Launchpool distributed around 240 million tokens as well
Summary of the token’s valuation: • FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation): $700 million • Current Market Cap: $180 million • Seed round investment: around $50 million • Largest investor: Microsoft’s M12
The purpose of this token is SQL-based data retrieval with Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proof. So, you can consider this a data-related token.
Another token in the data and SQL space is GRT, but its performance hasn’t been great. Also, GRT is likely China-based — though you should double-check that, I’m saying it from memory.
That said, there are very few data analytics-related tokens in the crypto market. So, we’ll need some more time to understand what kind of demand SXT might generate.
“Ethereum’s Big Upgrades: Great for Tech, Not So Much for Price”
#Ethereum has two major upcoming upgrades – Pectra and Fusaka – and they’re mainly focused on making Ethereum smarter, faster, and more user-friendly. Right now, there’s so much ETH being staked that the network is getting congested. So with the Pectra upgrade, the validator limit is being increased from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH. That means fewer validators overall, which should help simplify network management.
Another big improvement is the increase in blob capacity, which allows more data to be stored on Ethereum’s main chain (Layer 1) at a much lower cost.
Now, while all of this sounds like a massive step forward, in reality, it’s not that bullish for Ethereum itself. Sure, scalability is improving, and user experience is getting better – but who’s really benefiting from these upgrades? Layer 2s. Chains like Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, and Starknet (STRK), which are built on top of Ethereum, will now be able to process transactions cheaper and faster.
Ethereum, on the other hand, is gradually becoming more of a data storage layer – kind of like backend infrastructure. That means for everyday users, Ethereum itself is becoming less visible or directly useful.
Meanwhile, other chains that are already fast, cheap, and user-friendly – like #solana and $BNB Chain – are taking this opportunity to grab market share. The average user doesn’t care about how many blobs are supported or whether EOF is live – they just want smooth, cheap transactions and simple apps that work.
So no matter how technically advanced Ethereum gets, if it can’t retain its user base, its price growth will struggle. Ethereum might still be the leader in tech, but it’s slowly handing over value to L2s – which can be seen as a kind of value leakage. And if fewer users and less activity stay on Ethereum Layer 1, ETH token demand could drop as well.
Bottom line – these upgrades are a step forward technically, but they’re not necessarily bullish for ETH’s price in the short to mid term. In fact, platforms like Solana and BNB are using this gap to capture mainstream users, and that could be a serious wake-up call for Ethereum.
Also, it’s worth noting – ETH has been underperforming against BTC since September 2022, which is almost 2.5 years now. Even though the charts might show ETH is near a bottom, we’ll likely need to wait for a real momentum shift before we can expect any significant upside.
The story of the $OM token is a perfect example of why liquidity matters more than market cap in crypto.
You initially invested $1M when OM was priced at $0.20, getting a significant amount of tokens. As the price climbed to $2, your holdings became worth $10M. Instead of selling (which would’ve been difficult due to low liquidity), you used your tokens as collateral to borrow $5M USDT — a smart risk-managed move.
Later, as OM’s price reached $9, your holdings were valued at $45M, allowing you to borrow up to $22.5M in total. The danger was clear: if OM dropped to $4.5, your position would be liquidated. But here’s the catch — OM’s liquidity was low, so even a small sell order could move the price drastically.
On a quiet Sunday, someone saw this opportunity. They opened a short position on one exchange and began selling OM on another, triggering a sharp price drop. This started a liquidation cascade — once OM hit $4.5, many leveraged positions were force-sold, further driving down the price. In a short time, OM crashed over 90%.
Meanwhile, the OM team had earlier sold tokens OTC at a discount and used that USDT to slowly buy back OM on exchanges, manipulating price upward due to the thin liquidity. With just a few million in buy pressure, they pushed the token price up significantly and inflated the market cap.
This entire cycle shows how market cap can be deceiving, especially when liquidity is low. A token may look huge on paper, but you might not be able to exit without crashing the price. In crypto, liquidity is real power — market cap is often just an illusion.
How Low Liquidity Can Crash a Token – A Deep Dive into $OM scenario
Let’s say you bought $1 million worth of OM tokens when the price was $0.20. A few days later, the price rose to $2. Your $1M investment is now worth $10M.
You’re aware that during a major FUD or bearish sentiment, altcoins can crash by 30%-50%. Even when you bought the OM token, you knew its liquidity wasn’t great.
You notice OM token has been in an uptrend for quite some time. But looking at the daily trading volume, it seems odd that such a price increase could happen with this low volume.
Anyway, you kept holding and now the token is priced at $2, making your holdings worth $10M.
Now, some exchanges are willing to give you a loan using your OM tokens as collateral — typically 50% or more of the token value. The condition is: if the price of OM falls close to your loan value, your collateral will be force-sold.
So, you leave $10M worth of OM tokens as collateral and borrow a $5M USDT loan.
Later, OM’s price shoots up to $9, making your token holdings worth $45M.
Since you’ve already taken a $5M loan, now you can borrow another $17.5M if you want.
That means you now have a total of $22.5M in loans. The exchange will only liquidate your position if OM drops from $9 to $4.5.
You knowingly take this risk because you understand that if you try to sell $45M worth of OM tokens on the market, the price could crash to even $1 due to low liquidity.
If you attempt to sell the full $45M, you might end up receiving less than $10M.
Because liquidity means how much value you can actually get out when selling a token. So instead of selling, you’re happy taking a loan.
To help those who don’t understand liquidity, here’s a snapshot from the UNISWAP DEX.
It shows that OM token’s liquidity is $1.5M (marked with a green circle).
Now, even if you have $10M worth of OM tokens, you can’t withdraw more than $1.5M from there — that’s your real max retrievable value.
So what do you do?
You know that exchanges like Binance, OKX have better liquidity.
So you go to OKX and start market selling your $40M worth of OM tokens. You know that placing limit orders will take forever to sell the full $45M.
So you open a short position and start dumping OM on OKX.
You sell gradually on the market. It’s Sunday — usually a slow day in the market, institutions are off too.
Due to fewer buyers, your $100K sell causes the price to drop not by 2%, but by 7%.
Result: a death spiral begins.
Many institutions and individuals had taken loans with OM tokens as collateral. When the price dropped to $4.5, exchanges began forced liquidations.
That caused further price drops, triggering even more liquidations. Eventually, OM fell by 90%.
This kind of catastrophic downfall happens when there’s low liquidity. But there can be a silver lining — like what the OM team did.
When a team sells their own tokens, they usually do it OTC.
OTC means: you and I know each other, I sell you tokens at a 50% discount on the condition that you can’t sell them on the market for 1 year.
So, the team sold $50M worth of OM tokens OTC for $25M USDT. Then they started buying back OM tokens from the market with that $25M.
Due to low liquidity, even a $1M buy could push the price up by 10%. That 10% price increase raises the market cap by $100M.
Over 3 months, the team slowly injected $25M and the token price went up 10x. Because the team has an unlimited supply of OM tokens.
They again sold $100M worth of tokens OTC at a 50% discount and started buying on the market.
You’re no fool either — you know you can’t sell for a year, so you also used your tokens as collateral and took a loan.
Anyway, someone smart figured all this out and on a Sunday, jumped into the market. Opened a short position, and began dumping.
Maybe they didn’t even need to sell more than $10M — the rest happened due to panic selling by other holders and cascading liquidations.
That person profited from their short.
Now keep in mind, which coins have the highest liquidity in the market?
Of course, BTC is number one.
Here’s the English translation without any bold text:
⸻
Let’s say you bought $1 million worth of OM tokens when the price was $0.20. A few days later, the price rose to $2. Your $1M investment is now worth $10M.
You’re aware that during a major FUD or bearish sentiment, altcoins can crash by 30%-50%. Even when you bought the OM token, you knew its liquidity wasn’t great.
You notice OM token has been in an uptrend for quite some time. But looking at the daily trading volume, it seems odd that such a price increase could happen with this low volume.
Anyway, you kept holding and now the token is priced at $2, making your holdings worth $10M.
Now, some exchanges are willing to give you a loan using your OM tokens as collateral — typically 50% or more of the token value. The condition is: if the price of OM falls close to your loan value, your collateral will be force-sold.
So, you leave $10M worth of OM tokens as collateral and borrow a $5M USDT loan.
Later, OM’s price shoots up to $9, making your token holdings worth $45M.
Since you’ve already taken a $5M loan, now you can borrow another $17.5M if you want.
That means you now have a total of $22.5M in loans. The exchange will only liquidate your position if OM drops from $9 to $4.5.
You knowingly take this risk because you understand that if you try to sell $45M worth of OM tokens on the market, the price could crash to even $1 due to low liquidity.
If you attempt to sell the full $45M, you might end up receiving less than $10M.
Because liquidity means how much value you can actually get out when selling a token. So instead of selling, you’re happy taking a loan.
To help those who don’t understand liquidity, here’s a snapshot from the UNISWAP DEX.
It shows that OM token’s liquidity is $1.5M (marked with a green circle).
Now, if you hold $10M worth of OM tokens, even if you want to, you won’t be able to extract more than $1.5M from there.
That $1.5M is your real maximum retrievable value.
So, what do you do now?
You know that Binance, OKX, and similar exchanges have higher liquidity.
So, you begin selling $40M worth of OM tokens on OKX at market price. Because you know if you wait with a limit order, it’ll take forever to sell $45M.
Instead, you open a short position on the exchange and start selling on OKX.
You start market selling bit by bit. It’s a Sunday — usually the market is quiet and institutions are off.
Since there are fewer buyers, your $100K sell drops the price by not 2%, but a full 7%.
Result: a kind of death spiral begins.
Many institutions and individuals had also taken loans using OM as collateral. When OM hits $4.5, exchanges start forced selling.
The price drops even further, and more loans get liquidated. Eventually, OM crashes by 90%.
This kind of catastrophic downfall can happen when liquidity is low. But there’s an upside — like what the OM token team did. When a team wants to sell their own tokens, they usually do it OTC.
OTC means — you and I know each other, and I’ll sell you tokens at a 50% discount under the condition that you can’t sell them in the market for at least a year.
In this way, the team sells $50M worth of OM tokens in OTC for $25M USDT. Now, with that $25M, they start buying OM tokens back from the market.
Due to low liquidity, if they buy with just $1M, the price might go up by 10%. When that happens, the market cap can jump by $100M.
They slowly inject the $25M over 3 months, and the token price increases 10x. Because the team has no shortage of tokens.
Then they sell another $100M worth of tokens OTC at a 50% discount and start buying again from the market.
You’re not any less clever — you know you can’t sell before a year, so you also use the token as collateral and take a loan.
Anyway, after understanding all this, a very smart guy gets into the market on a Sunday. Opens a short position, then starts dumping on the market.
Maybe he didn’t even have to sell more than $10M — the rest of the price crash came from panicked holders and liquidations.
He made money from his short position.
So, keep in mind — which coins have the highest liquidity in the market?
Of course, BTC first. Then ETH.
XRP, DOGE, and recently SOL — all have good liquidity. ADA also has decent liquidity.
With these coins, you could sell $100M and still exit without impacting the price much.
Or just sell OTC at a 10% discount — there will always be buyers.
Just having a high market cap doesn’t mean high liquidity. As I’ve said before, market cap is kind of a myth — a total bluff.
Trump token hit a $70B market cap, but its liquidity was barely around $200M. Not even $1B.
And arbitrage only happens when there is liquidity.
What is arbitrage, really? I’ll explain that another day. For now, just know that because of arbitrage, the price of a token stays roughly the same across all exchanges.
No matter where you sell, arbitrage bots immediately buy/sell to adjust the price and make profit.
Without arbitrage, token prices would vary wildly from one exchange to another.
Got it? Or did it seem too complex? Let me know in the comments. I need to know.
