Robinhood caters to mainstream finance, while Coinbase focuses on crypto infrastructure. Original title: $COIN v/s $HOOD: The $160 Billion Battle A battle is quietly unfolding in your pocket—and most people haven’t even noticed. Two of America’s top financial apps, Robinhood (ranked #14 in finance on the App Store) and Coinbase (#20), each valued at ~$80 billion, are running opposing experiments on millions of users. Both target young investors but believe the other’s approach is fundamentall...

1. The Opening Bell: a $20–42 B Float on Day One At 8:00 a.m. ET tonight (Beijing 20:00), World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token will finally trade spot. Pre-market desks are pricing the fully-diluted valuation (FDV) anywhere between US$200 B (US$0.20/token) and US$420 B (US$0.42/token)—numbers that would instantly place WLFI inside the global top-50 and, at the high end, nudge the top-20 .First unlock: 3 % of total supply—≈ 30 B WLFI—hits the street, worth US$5.9–12.4 B depending on the print ...

Amid the frenzy around Solana-based Perp Dexes (decentralized perpetual exchanges), a meme token named $nl (niggaliquid) launched on pump.fun surged 10x in just two days, reaching a market cap of over $10 million.

In the early hours of July 15 (Beijing time), Fantasy.top, a decentralized card game on Blast, announced its migration to Base and will support users in transferring their assets to the Base network. The community's reaction was not one of surprise but rather a resigned "it was bound to happen"—as if the final page of a foregone conclusion had finally been turned.Fantasy.top: The Standard-Bearer of Blast's EcosystemFantasy.top is a decentralized social card game built on Blast, where crypto i...

The Midnight Call “I’ve been on calls until two a.m. every night lately.” The speaker is a veteran who has spent more than a decade in traditional brokerage. He sets his phone face-down on the coffee table, eyes faintly blood-shot yet voice calm. We sit in a Beijing courtyard house whose red-lacquered doors are starting to peel. Afternoon light cuts through the dust in the air while he shuffles papers on an old wooden desk, juggling regulators, partners, and product road-maps. He has survived...

During the "1011" epic crash in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin briefly fell below $102,000 and Ethereum dropped to $3,373. The total liquidation amount across the network reached a staggering $19.1 billion, with over 1.6 million people liquidated. However, this extreme volatility also created three major wealth-making opportunities: * Direct Shorting: A whale profited over $72.33 million in a single day by shorting BTC and ETH. * Bottom Fishing: Many altcoins plummeted over 80%. WBETH dro...

Liquidity, Not Narrative, Still Writes the Cycle Every crypto bull-run has ultimately been a liquidity-run in disguise. When global M2 expands or real yields collapse, the overflow finds its way to the riskiest zip-codes on the risk curve—and digital assets have historically been the first stop. Since early-2024 the three main pipes feeding fresh fiat into the ecosystem—stable-coins, ETFs and tokenised Digital-Asset Trusts (DATs)—have all flattened simultaneously. The result is an “involution...

1. The New Rule That Froze the Pipe Last Thursday NASDAQ quietly dropped a bombshell: any listed "Digital-Asset Treasury" (DAT) company that wants to print new shares must put the fundraise to a shareholder vote before it can touch the proceeds to buy crypto.No more overnight PIPE-to-coin swaps.No more 10b5-1 "buy-at-market" loopholes.No more instant narrative pumps.The announcement instantly repriced optionality across the DAT complex. In 24 h the segment traded like biotech after an FDA rej...
