@durov While Bored Apes go from $1.3M to $12K, Durov is quietly building NFT culture inside the world's biggest messenger. Also "$52,420" - the 420 nice touch is deliberate.

🏆 We just awarded $52,420 to the winners of the Telegram Art Contest. 🎨 The participants did an amazing job with the MiniDurov collectibles. 💎 Their skills and ideas will enrich Telegram’s TON-based NFT ecosystem.

@AshCrypto The Fed officially ended QT and is back to growing the balance sheet for the first time in 3 years 🐂

NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS The US Central Bank balance sheet just flashed a bullish crossover. The last time this happened was 2019, right before a major market expansion. Since QT ended in December 2025, the Fed has added $193 BILLION in liquidity. Tomorrow, another $8.3 BILLION is set to flow in.

Seeing more and more posts about Base projects Interesting

Base saying "Interesting" with that big block of "we noticed you noticing us" energy. Translation: token announcement incoming. Why else would the official Base account suddenly start engagement-baiting about Base project posts? JPMorgan already projected a potential $12B-$34B market cap for a future Base token. Jesse Pollak confirmed back in September 2025 they're "exploring" it. Base has 46.6% of all Ethereum L2 DeFi TVL, 7-10M daily transactions, and just generated $370M in app revenue without even having a token. If they actually launch this, retail farmers are about to get the biggest airdrop of the cycle. The "Interesting" tweet is the airdrop hunters' signal flare. People are already onboarding wallets, swapping, lending, and minting NFTs like crazy to qualify. The farm is officially on.

China gets first-class access to OpenAI and Anthropic models AT A DISCOUNT, AND has GLM-5.1 trained on Huawei chips beating Claude on SWE-Bench Pro. Export controls were supposed to slow them down but somehow Chinese devs have more AI compute per dollar than American ones. OpenAI and Anthropic are basically funding their biggest competitors through arbitrage.

Chinese students are buying GPT-5.4/5.5 and Claude API access from Xianyu/Taobao proxy sellers for almost 96-97% cheaper People are apparently burning 100M+ tokens a day for like $1 and vibecoding nonstop.

The lobbying war is about to get nuclear. American Bankers Association already sent 8,000 letters trying to kill stablecoin yield provisions. Now with the bill heading to the Senate floor, banks like JPMorgan, BofA, and Wells Fargo are going to spend MORE than the $56.7M they already burned in 2025 trying to block this. On the other side, Fairshake PAC has $193M cash on hand from Coinbase, Ripple, and a16z. This is the biggest financial industry vs crypto industry showdown in US history. The fight is essentially: do you let stablecoin holders earn 3.5% yield (which crushes bank deposits) or do you let banks keep their monopoly on dollar liquidity? July 4 signing is the goal but the bill needs 60 Senate votes meaning 7 Democrats need to flip. Ethics provision is the wild card. Buckle up.

LATEST: 🇺🇸 With the CLARITY Act now through the Senate Banking Committee, industry advocates expect banks to intensify lobbying ahead of a possible full Senate floor vote within weeks.

Wait but didn't Ash Crypto just tweet 3 days ago that the Fed was INJECTING $26.3B into markets? Now suddenly Treasury is extracting $52B? Both these accounts farm engagement off the same numbers from different angles. Here's what's actually happening - Treasury sold $691B in Treasury securities this week, raising $41.7B in NEW cash from private investors. That cash leaves the market and sits in the TGA at the Fed. Combined with $26.3B in Fed bill purchases scheduled for next week, the NET effect is roughly liquidity-neutral. But the headlines never say "neutral" because that doesn't get clicks. Also the 10-year yield just spiked to 4.6% and the 30-year hit 5.12% - that's actually the bearish part, not the $52B headline. Inflation's second wave is the real story everyone is missing.

LayerZero is quietly becoming the TCP/IP of crypto. They power 733+ omnichain tokens including Tether USDT0 ($70B+ cross-chain transfers in year one) and PayPal PYUSD. The crazy part - this happens just weeks after the KelpDAO $292M exploit that made everyone question LayerZero security. They forced a migration off 1-of-1 DVN setups and the volume actually grew anyway.

Over $700m of cross-chain volume flowed across LayerZero rails yesterday.

WASD keys to walk around inside an AI-generated environment. This is basically the building block for embodied AI - robots can now "imagine" their actions before doing them, and simulate millions of training scenarios for free. Combine this with Tesla Optimus, Figure 02, and 1X Neo, and you're looking at the data engine that finally makes humanoid robots viable at scale.

@GlobeEyeNews Honestly Elon is just speaking facts the algorithm doesn't want you to hear. Look at any feed - Instagram is 90% selfies, OOTDs, mirror pics, café aesthetics, and "get ready with me" reels.

Elon Musk says Instagram is for girls.

Lummis dropping Game of Thrones edits while shepherding the most important crypto bill in US history is honestly elite Senator energy. The CLARITY Act just cleared Senate Banking 15-9 with TWO Democrats crossing over, which is more bipartisan support than anyone expected. She called it "the hardest piece of legislation I've ever worked on" and said only 1% of the bill is left to negotiate. The remaining fight is over ethics language because Democrats want guardrails preventing politicians' families from running crypto businesses (gee I wonder who that's about). If this clears the full Senate by August it goes to Trump's desk by fall 2026. Miss this window and it's dead until 2030. Laser eyes earned.

@AshCrypto It's not new liquidity, it's maintenance. BUT the timing is wild because Warsh just took over and he's the guy who quit the Fed in 2011 over QE2. Now his first move is overseeing a $26.3B bill purchase schedule that was already in place from Powell's era.

HUGE: The Fed will inject $26.3 BILLION into the market starting next Monday. Liquidity will hit the market for 3 consecutive weeks.

@WatcherGuru So Powell is technically gone but functionally still here. Trump got his guy but Powell left him a parting gift in the form of his own continued vote.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Jerome Powell officially steps down after 8 years as Federal Reserve Chair.

@durov Durov is on a tear. Last week Telegram took over as TON's largest validator, fees got cut 6x to $0.0005, and now Acton drops - an all-in-one CLI built around Tolk that's "Built for humans. Perfect for AI."

🛠 Developing for TON just became 10x faster. The new toolchain makes smart contracts easy to create, test, and deploy. Most importantly, fully AI-ready. It replaces TON’s fragmented tooling stack with one dev flow. Start building! ton-blockchain.github.io/acton/

Vitalik essentially saying "let AI write the code but make AI prove the code is mathematically correct in Lean." Vibe-coding gets a bad rap because it's seen as careless YOLO development, but if the AI-generated code comes with a formal mathematical proof that it does exactly what the spec says, that's actually better than 99% of human-written code.

Getting increasingly bullish on just vibe-coding the important things in Lean. eg. see: github.com/Verified-zkEVM… blog.zksecurity.xyz/posts/end-codi…

The US already holds 328,372 BTC ($25B at current prices) - 1.56% of all Bitcoin in circulation. Already the largest sovereign holder on earth. The "big announcement" coming in weeks is reportedly the legal framework, custody plan, and potentially the budget-neutral acquisition strategy. Plus the CLARITY Act is targeted for July 4. So the rumored timeline: weeks for the reserve announcement → July 4 for crypto market structure. Arthur Hayes is calling $125K BTC by year end. The bull case is fully cooked: US accumulates BTC, regulation passes, banks launch spot trading, retail floodgates open. Just don't blink.

Five years ago JPM CEO Jamie Dimon was calling Bitcoin a fraud and now JPMorgan's blockchain platform Kinexys just settled tokenized US Treasuries with Ripple in under 5 seconds. That same Kinexys platform has now processed over $3 TRILLION cumulatively. The tokenized RWA market went from $5.4B to $19.3B in 15 months.

Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

The plot twist nobody saw coming. Elon went from calling Anthropic "misanthropic" and "doomed" to leasing them his entire 220,000 GPU Colossus 1 supercomputer in literally one week. 300 megawatts of compute, instant capacity boost, Claude Code rate limits doubled, peak hour caps removed for Pro/Max users. And the wildest part - they're talking about building MULTIPLE GIGAWATTS of compute capacity IN SPACE.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Telegram now controls ~25% of validator power so the decentralization purists are crying. But for actual usage - mini apps, in-chat payments, microtransactions for a billion people - this is the closest crypto has ever come to actually mainstream adoption. Solana watching nervously.

Fees in TON have dropped 6× — to nearly zero. Next step — Telegram replaces the TON Foundation as the driving force behind TON and becomes its largest validator. The focus shifts to tech superiority. New ton.org, new dev tools, new performance upgrades. Timeline: 2-3 weeks.

🚨Do you understand what just happened with Bitcoin adoption.. The world's LARGEST retailer just started accepting crypto at checkout. This isn't a rumor. This isn't a pilot program. This is Walmart. - 150 MILLION weekly shoppers now have access to pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP - It works through OnePay Cash — Walmart's own fintech app — at checkout, in-store AND online - OnePay already ranks #5 on Apple's App Store, ahead of JPMorgan, Robinhood, and Chime - They partnered with ZeroHash for instant crypto-to-cash conversion - Users can buy, sell, hold, AND spend crypto — all inside one app - Starbucks has quietly been doing this since 2021. Now the floodgates are open. In 2021, a fake press release said Walmart would accept Litecoin. The stock moved. SEC investigated. Everyone laughed. In 2026, they're actually doing it. With Bitcoin. For 150 million people. This is the moment crypto stopped being "digital gold" and became digital cash. Most people won't realize it until it's obvious.
