Kraken hit with extortion after two insider threats. Their answer: 'We are not paying.' The attack didn't target the protocol — it targeted people with internal access. That's the scarier category. And the right call to go public with it.

@NoLimitGains distribution phase checks every box so far

Volume is declining as price rises. Nothing else needs to be said.

@Cointelegraph honestly not shocked. cost basis tracking across chains, wallets, and DeFi positions is a nightmare for most people. the real question is whether the IRS can actually enforce this at scale.

🚨 LATEST: A new study finds only 6.5% of crypto owners reported sales to the IRS, suggesting widespread tax underreporting among crypto investors, per Bloomberg.

@TedPillows funding rates confirm it. when derivatives lead and spot doesn't follow, that gap usually closes to the downside. not a great sign for sustainability.

There's a clear divergence between the $BTC price and spot demand right now. Price is making higher highs, while spot demand is getting weaker. This is a sign that the rally has been perp-dominant, which is mostly unsustainable.

@DefiWimar the carry trade is what actually matters here. yen strengthens, institutions sell risk assets to repay yen loans. btc just happens to be in that basket. the hike isn't the cause, it's what triggers the unwind.

🚨 BREAKING JAPAN'S RATE HIKE TO 1.00% IN JUNE IS NOW CONFIRMED, THE FIRST TIME IN 31 YEARS! PREDICTION MARKETS ARE PRICING IN A 90% CHANCE. HISTORICALLY, EVERY RATE HIKE IN JAPAN HAS BEEN FOLLOWED BY A 20%+ DUMP IN $BTC. THIS WOULD BE REALLY BAD FOR MARKETS...

@BullTheoryio removes one of the dumbest retail barriers in traditional finance. crypto never had this rule which is partly why younger traders defaulted to it. curious if it pulls any volume back to equities now.

BREAKING: The SEC just officially eliminated the $25,000 minimum rule for day trading. This is the biggest change to retail trading in 24 years. Since 2001, if you wanted to make more than 3 day trades in a 5 day period, you needed at least $25,000 sitting in your account at all times. If you dropped below that, your broker would lock you out of day trading completely. This rule blocked millions of retail traders from actively participating in markets simply because they did not have enough capital. That rule is now gone. The SEC today approved FINRA's proposed change which replaces the fixed $25,000 requirement with a real time margin system. Instead of a fixed dollar threshold, brokers will now monitor your actual risk exposure throughout the day and adjust your buying power based on the real risk of your positions, not an arbitrary account balance. Now you no longer need $25,000 to day trade. You just need enough margin to cover the actual risk of your open positions.

@PeterSchiff every time Schiff posts about dollar weakness he accidentally makes the bitcoin case. been happening for 10 years and he still doesn't see it

After trading above 100 last week, the U.S. Dollar Index is now below 98, hitting its lowest level since March 1, when the war began. That means the dollar has already lost all of its safe-haven gains. As the dollar falls, U.S. consumer prices and interest rates will rise.

@KobeissiLetter crypto barely moved during this whole squeeze. BTC usually joins on a move this size. either it's lagging or it already priced in the recovery weeks ago

We are witnessing a historic short squeeze right now. The S&P 500 has now added nearly +$6 TRILLION in market cap since March 30th. In just 5 trading days, hedge fund short exposure to US ETFs has gone from the highest since May 2025 to lower than 97% of cases over the last 5 years. Meanwhile, the capital that was sidelined amid the Iran War is quickly rotating back into AI stocks. The reality is that AI names have only gotten bigger amid the volatility of the Iran War. Stocks like Nvidia and Apple were nearly half as cheap as Costco and Walmart on a Forward P/E basis after the recent correction. All while 4% inflation is back and investors are searching for any source of yield as a hedge. Record highs are on the horizon.

@gainzy222 the ledger one in the apple store is honestly the scariest. that's not a DeFi exploit, that's attacking people who thought they were doing things right

kraken breached, polkadot bridge exploited, drift hacked, ledger app drainer available in apple apps yeah physical gold is harder to move and transact in, but at least it can’t be hacked anyway, move funds across more hot and cold wallets for safety imo

@kriptoholder funding rates stayed elevated while spot dried up - that's textbook. the question's always when they pull the rug, not if

They’re not buying, they’re positioning — spot is bleeding while price is held up by leverage; this is engineered liquidity: first a short squeeze, then a dump into late longs — if you don’t see it, you are the liquidity. #BTC #Crypto #OrderFlow

@coinglass_com 75K-76K has been overhead resistance since Q4 last year. until BTC clears that zone with conviction, range traders are just feeding the liquidity on both sides

#BTC whale orderbook update BTC holding above 74k after the push up. Now the key is simple: above sits heavy sell liquidity around 75k–76k below sits decent bid support around 71.5k So the setup is pretty clear: Hold 74k , keep pushing into 75k/76k. Fail here , rotate lower into bids.

@AshCrypto volume on the breakout is the thing to watch. last two times BTC broke its downtrend on thin volume it was a head fake. if this holds into the week on real volume, different story

HOPIUM: For the first time since the October 6 top, Bitcoin has broken its downtrend. What if $60K was the bottom?

@Davincij15 not sold on new lows tbh. the 0K flush cleared a lot of leverage. bull traps usually play out faster than this. watching 8K as the real confirmation level

#Bitcoin bull trap is in play. New lows are coming again.

@WatcherGuru covered call income ETF. Goldman's monetizing BTC volatility, not betting on upside. tells you more about their price outlook than any analyst note

JUST IN: $3.5 trillion Goldman Sachs files for Bitcoin Premium Income ETF.

@KobeissiLetter 4% PPI and markets are still pricing in rate cuts. historically, when these diverge, it's not the bond market that blinks first

BREAKING: US March PPI inflation rises to 4.0%, its highest since February 2023. Core PPI inflation was unchanged, at 3.8%, also the highest since February 2023. We are now officially seeing inflation metrics in the US that are at 4% or higher. Inflation is back.

Kraken extorted after insiders sold access for $3K-$15K. 2,000 accounts exposed, no funds stolen. CSO Nick Percoco: 'We will not pay. We will never negotiate with malicious actors.' Criminal networks now run structured recruitment programs targeting crypto exchange employees.

HSBC and Standard Chartered just got Hong Kong's first stablecoin licenses. 2 of 36 applicants made the cut. 100% reserve-backed, HK$25M minimum capital. When banks this size start clearing stablecoin compliance, the 'crypto is for criminals' take is done.
