🔪 A strong community isn’t enough for XRP and ADA to stay afloat. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz says loyalty won’t cut it forever—projects must prove real benefits or they’ll be forgotten. The crypto market is changing. Preference now goes to projects with a solid business model and clear sources of profit. With every cycle, dozens of new competitors appear. If Ripple and Cardano can’t show real value and a clear income structure, their survival chances will be extremely slim.

🎰 Ludomania… a new level. A Polymarket player nicknamed Simonbanza earned $1,900,000 in bets over two weeks, with 64 winning trades out of 108 (win rate: 59%).

🤑 Arthur Hayes expects Bitcoin to reach $500,000–$750,000 in the coming years. Here are the key takeaways: - The next two years will mark the peak of money printing in the United States. - The US budget deficit was $2.3T in FY2025; forecasts for 2026–2027 are $2.2–$2.5T. The government may be forced to print more money (hidden QE). - The 2026 congressional elections will push both parties to spend generously. Regardless of who wins, more money printing seems likely, which benefits BTC. - Foreign central banks are buying fewer US Treasuries. With fewer overseas buyers, the US may have to finance its debt domestically. - Zcash (ZEC) is the best investment of 2025. Its market cap could reach 10–20% of Bitcoin’s. - Top assets: ZEC, Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Ethena (ENA). - Stablecoins become the main trend for 2026. The world’s largest banks will launch their own stablecoins in the next 6–12 months, and mass adoption could accelerate DeFi. - Alt-season has already passed (❗️); many didn’t notice. Hyperliquid, Ethena and Zcash delivered strong results. The days of buying any altcoin and making money are gone—choose projects consciously. - The crypto industry has proven its resilience. During a global risk-off selloff on Liberation Day (Trump tariffs in April), crypto markets stayed steady.

Sam Altman: savior of the world or creator of the greatest pyramid? 👁 OpenAI is aiming at the budgets of whole countries, promising to defeat poverty and disease.

#jup #sol 🤔 Solana, without embellishment: there are far fewer real traders than it looks. A recent study of Jupiter activity by Eekeyguy reveals an uncomfortable truth about the Solana network: - 40–50% of Jupiter’s trading volume is pure bot arbitrage, not real traders. - At least 50% of total DEX volume on Solana is arbitrage bots (on some days up to 70%). - Only 22–27% of all trades go through Jupiter bots; the rest use custom solutions that are harder to track. - Eekeyguy admits his methodology captures only 40–60% of real arbitrage activity. The true figure could be higher. - What this means: when you see “huge trading volumes on Solana,” half of it (or more) may be bots buying a token on one DEX and selling it on another to profit from price differences. There are far fewer real people there than it seems. - Previously: rumors about the collapse of SOL
