Tether Reports $1.04B Q1 2026 Profit, Reserve Hits Record $8.23B Everyone's talking about the $1.04B profit. The real story: those numbers are from an attestation, not a full audit #Tether says the formal audit only started this quarter. The $8.23B buffer is attested. Not yet verified.

People think trading is analysis. Most days it’s just boredom management.

Wasabi Protocol Loses $5.5M in Four-Chain Exploit, April 2026 Before: #WasabiProtocol held user funds across Ethereum, Base, Blast, and Berachain After: One stolen admin key rewrote the smart contracts. $5.5M drained. No response from the team. This is the second exploit to hit Wasabi in April websnack.org/news/wasabi-pr…

@CoinDesk Once payouts get embedded into major platforms, the debate shifts.

UPDATE: Stablecoin payouts are currently available to a limited group of creators, with USDC distributed via supported crypto wallets on the Solana and Polygon blockchain networks.

If You Hold #BTC Spot, Read This Bitcoin's daily spot volume just dropped below $8B for the first time since October 2023 That means thinner order books, bigger price swings on less volume, and the #Fed speaking into one of the least liquid markets since the last bear cycle websnack.org/news/btc-spot-…

@CoinMarketCap Prediction markets going ETF-native is less about innovation and more about distribution. The structure matters a lot less than whether liquidity actually shows up.

LATEST: ⚡ The first US prediction market ETFs are set to launch on May 5, with Roundhill listing 6 funds tied to upcoming election outcomes, per Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart.

@Vivek4real_ A market that rallied on expectations and dumped on reality.

WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS PATTERN??

@AshCrypto People will focus on Warsh. Markets will care just as much about how much Powell-era thinking remains in the room.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Powell congratulated Warsh on his confirmation and will remain on the Fed Board as Governor after his Chair term ends.

📈 Powell is leaving the Federal Reserve. Now the market has to price what comes next.

@Cointelegraph Rates unchanged was expected. What matters now is not the pause itself, but how aggressively markets keep leaning into the idea of easier policy from here. That’s where positioning starts to matter more than the headline.

🇺🇸 BREAKING: Federal Reserve holds interest rates unchanged, in line with expectations.

@AshCrypto Powell leaving is the headline. Liquidity expectations are the real story.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Fed Chair Powell confirms this is his last FOMC.

#BTC maxis after saying “this dip changes nothing” for the 14th time

🚨 A 47% drop in Robinhood crypto activity Is a pretty clear signal: retail is not fully back. If the market is still strong without them, then this rally is not as crowded as people think.

Stablecoins Settle $20B Daily - Legacy Banks Weren't Built for This AI agents are taking over transaction management at scale. Legacy rails weren't built for 24/7 machine-executed finance. Microsoft says the infrastructure is starting to break websnack.org/news/microsoft…

@Cointelegraph Agents don’t destroy production by themselves. They destroy production when experimental autonomy gets prod access without hard guardrails.

🚨 ALERT: An AI coding agent using Cursor and Claude Opus 4.6 reportedly deleted a company’s production database and backups in seconds via Railway, highlighting major risks in AI agent integrations with live systems.

@AshCrypto Not every alt died because the tech failed. A lot of them died because liquidity left and never came back.

If you invested $100,000 in these altcoins in 2021 peak, today you would have less than $3,000. Wasted 5 years of life for this shit.

⚽️ CHZ moving to #Solana ahead of the World Cup looks less like a tech milestone and more like a distribution move. The upside is obvious: lower friction, better liquidity, and easier access to retail flow right before a global attention event. That is a smart setup if fan tokens get another real window in 2026, but better distribution alone does not make #CHZ structurally bullish. Adoption is still the part that has to be proven.

@AshCrypto Safe havens don’t get sold like this unless something bigger is moving under the surface.

🩸DUMP $1,200,000,000,000 has been wiped out from GOLD and SILVER today.

📰 #Bitcoin Rallies 21% to $79K With $80K Breakout at Risk 99.5% chance of a rate hold on Wednesday. That sounds like a non-event. But #ETF inflows are running 9x miner supply, and it's Powell's last meeting. Not exactly routine websnack.org/news/bitcoin-8…
