I have been a Hyperliquid User since December 2023 and I’ve always wanted to give something back to the team and especially @chameleon_jeff. He built something so incredible and exciting that I’ll be telling my grandkids about it! Here is my 59-page research paper about Hyperliquid and why it will become 'The Blockchain to House all Finance'. Since the file is too large to upload directly, I’m sharing the Google Drive link. The attached images show the Table of Contents. big thank you to @HyperliquidX and @chameleon_jeff also thanks to @mlmabc for his insane fast research! (drive.google.com/file/d/18keiHv…)

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

WE FINALLY KNOW WHY THE MARKET CRASHED ON 10 OCTOBER AND WHY IT JUST CANT BOUNCE! We never really understood why the big crypto crash started on October 10th and why we couldn't even get a single meaningful bounce! Today the answer seem simple! Let me break it down. 1. DAT's like MSTR, BMNR and others have been one of 2 big buyers that powered this cycle. 2. The DAT game is simple, you need to be the biggest so that you get into the big indices and when you do, passive index trackers are forced to buy large amounts of your stock. As they do you get bigger and get added to more indices, and so the cycle perpetuates. 3. On EXACTLY 10th October, MSCI , the world's 2nd biggest Index company published the below. They are questioning whether companies that hold crypto assets as their core business, should be considered as "companies" or "funds". 4. If they are "funds" they are not included in passive indexing. why, because this creates a circular loop. The fund buys assets , gets bigger and then is included in more indices and buys more assets. 5. The expected ruling will be announced on 15 January 2026 and if this does pass, the companies like MSTR will be automatically removed from all indices. 6. If this happens it would mean that all the pension funds, normal funds and all other passive index holders would dump their MSTR automatically. 7. It would also mean that going forward they would never be included and as such , one of the big reasons why they actually exist would disappear. 8 . Since DATs have been powering this cycle and have been most the buying pressure, the smart money saw this immediately after the 10TH of October announcement and positioned accordingly. 9. The 10TH of October wasn't a coincidence after all - It was smart money seeing a big risk to crypto and the current market structure. 10. The market will probably continue to dum until around the end of December and if the announcement is negative, we will get a huge dump in preparation for the removal from the indices. 11. On the other hand , if it is positive , the bull market is back!! I broke this down on a 10 minute video this morning and I will leave a link in the next tweet!

Update on our next phase of growth (long post) TL/DR: Blockworks is becoming a software/data first org When Mike and I started Blockworks in 2017, we wanted to solve "the information problem." Crypto was growing up fast and the new entrants deserved better information. We've built everything from events to podcasts, research, data, and news. As we’ve scaled, we’ve experienced massive growth across all business units: we've had record revenues in 2025 and we'll have another record year in 2026. Over the past two years, we have seen particularly rapid growth in our data business. The market is telling us that our combo of data + distribution is extremely valuable. Every day, we hear from both investors and protocols that Blockworks data is critical to their daily workflow. And so, we're going all in on what Mike and I believe is the greatest opportunity we’ve seen since launching Blockworks in 2017. More on this soon :) Now, to talk about news... Mike and I launched news in 2021 as an extension of our events, podcasts, and newsletter businesses. At the time, crypto media couldn't speak fluently to tradfi, and trad media couldn't understand crypto. Since then, Blockworks has broken big stories, published thousands of stories, been cited by nearly every major publication, and helped shape the industry conversation every day. I am very proud of the work that the team has done. But the landscape is changing and the same problems don’t exist today. There are many strong crypto media publications. Great journalists combined with new tools have raised the bar in reporting, and traditional outlets have also improved. Meanwhile, users are increasingly looking toward data as a primary information source. So we’ve decided to sharpen our focus on software and data and exit our news business. To our incredible news team: a huge, heartfelt thank you. You built something that helped shape the industry and fueled the growth of Blockworks. I have a deep amount of respect for all that you do. To anyone hiring crypto journalists, please reach out – everyone is incredible. To the broader Blockworks community: over the coming months, you’ll see Blockworks evolve into a data-first intelligence platform. Our website will become a true data destination. Our main newsletters and podcasts will continue to set the pace for conversations that drive the industry. Our events will continue to grow (DAS is coming to Abu Dhabi next year). And we’re rolling out more category-defining software and data products soon. Love you all, onwards.

It’s not a debate anymore - crypto and stablecoins are the tools that will update the global financial system. Excited to be collaborating with @Citi to work on improving stablecoin utility and digital asset adoption with their clients.

We've spent the last 10 months analyzing EVERY single tariff development: Here's the EXACT playbook for investors. 1. Trump puts out cryptic post on tariffs coming for a specific country or sector, markets drift lower 2. Trump announces large tariff rate (50%+) and markets crash to shake out weak positions 3. Dip buyers step in but the head fake rally leads to fresh lows where smart money begins buying 4. After the market closes on Friday, President Trump doubles down on new tariffs to apply pressure 5. On Saturday, the target of the new tariff typically responds or comments 6. On Sunday, before the futures open, Trump posts an announcement saying he is working on a solution 7. Futures open on sharply higher Sunday at 6 PM ET but begin losing momentum into the Monday open 8. After the Monday open, Treasury Secretary Bessent appears on live TV and reassures investors 9. Over the next 2-4 weeks, various members of the Trump Administration tease a trade deal 10. Trump announces a new trade deal and the stock market hits a record high 11. Repeat from step #1 Part of our strong YTD performance comes from following this EXACT playbook in times of trade tensions. The US is currently on step #6 with China.
