Nearly all from one-time sales: $635M $TRUMP, $500M+ World Liberty $WLFI, plus $150M+ $ETH, $56M $USDC, $33M $BTC and $5M across $LINK, $AAVE, $ENA, $MOVE, $ONDO.
He credits the stock market; His 2026 book leans on $AAPL, $AMZN, $AVGO, and $NVDA.

# An Important Update from Dogechain
Today, we are announcing the sunset of Dogechain.
After more than four years of building utility, infrastructure, and applications around the Dogecoin ecosystem, Dogechain will be winding down operations.
This is not a decision we take lightly.
The reality is that current market conditions have made it increasingly difficult to sustainably operate and maintain the network. Despite our efforts to create meaningful utility for DOGE holders and expand the possibilities of the ecosystem, adoption and market activity have not developed at the scale required to support the long-term costs of running the chain.
When Dogechain launched, we believed Dogecoin could evolve beyond a meme and become the foundation for a broader ecosystem of applications, DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and on-chain innovation. We dedicated years to making that vision a reality.
While we are proud of everything the community, builders, validators, and partners accomplished together, the ecosystem never experienced the level of growth needed to achieve long-term sustainability.
As a result, Dogechain services will be shut down.
# What Happens Next
Users will have a two-month window to bridge assets out of Dogechain and complete any necessary withdrawals.
We strongly encourage all users to migrate their assets as soon as possible. After the shutdown process is completed, assets remaining on the network may become inaccessible.
Detailed instructions and timelines will be published separately.
# Important Information About Assets & DC Token
The Dogechain bridge will remain operational for approximately 60 days before being permanently shut down.
All users should withdraw liquidity positions, close outstanding positions where applicable, and bridge assets off Dogechain before the shutdown date.
Once the bridge is permanently taken offline:
* The original Dogechain bridge will no longer be available.
* Assets remaining on Dogechain will become permanently inaccessible.
* Tokens and assets issued on Dogechain will be lost permanently.
* Historical blockchain data and network state may no longer be recoverable through Dogechain infrastructure.
* The DC token on Dogechain will be sunset as part of the network shutdown process.
To preserve a record of ownership, a final snapshot of all DC balances on Dogechain will be taken immediately before the bridge is shut down.
Should Dogechain ever be revived in the future, any future version of the DC token would be issued separately from the original network. The snapshot record would be used to recognize historical DC holders and may serve as the basis for any future token distribution.
No commitment is being made that Dogechain will return. However, preserving this snapshot ensures that the contribution and ownership history of DC holders is not lost.
Users should not assume that any assets other than DC will be recoverable after shutdown. All liquidity positions, tokens, NFTs, and other assets should be withdrawn or bridged out before the deadline.
# A Message to the Community
We want to thank every builder, validator, partner, creator, trader, and community member who supported Dogechain throughout this journey.
Dogechain proved that there was demand for utility around the Dogecoin ecosystem. Together, we built something that many believed was impossible.
For anyone interested in continuing the project, we welcome discussions around community-led continuation efforts. However, we want to be transparent that maintaining blockchain infrastructure requires significant ongoing operational and development resources.
# Looking Back
Dogechain was listed on numerous exchanges, integrated with leading protocols, supported thousands of users, and helped bring new possibilities to the Dogecoin community.
Although circumstances changed and many of those opportunities diminished over time, we remain proud of what was achieved.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
The Dogechain Team
A Dogecoin sidechain is shutting down, and the clock is ticking to get funds out
Dogechain (@DogechainFamily), the EVM sidechain that brought DeFi and NFTs to @dogecoin, is winding down after four years. The team blames market conditions that made the network too costly to keep running.
Important for holders is that the bridge is open for about 60 days from the early-June notice, then goes dark for good. Anything left on Dogechain after that, tokens, NFTs, liquidity, and any dogecoin:native on the chain becomes permanently inaccessible. The window closes around early August.
🚨 #STEPNathon is back
Whether you run for the half or the full marathon, your cardio will be challenged!
From Jun 22 to Jun 29 at 0:00 UTC, you can take on the challenge by completing 21 km or 42 km in a single session using STEPN and/or STEPN GO. To participate, you need a Season Pass.
Every finisher automatically enters the Genesis Sneaker raffle 👟
🎁 1x STEPN Genesis
🎁 1x STEPN GO Genesis
The longer the distance, the better your chances: 21 km gives you 1 entry, 42 km gives you 2.
And, you can even enter both raffles by completing runs on both apps.
Finishing your run will also unlock exclusive rewards depending on your distance:
🟢 In STEPN:
42 km: Badge + Background + Badge + 5 GGBoxes
21 km: Badge + Background + Badge + 5 GGBoxes
🟣 In STEPN GO:
42 km: Background + 5 GGBoxes
21 km: Background + 5 GGBoxes
Running 42 km also unlocks the 21 km rewards tiers! And each Badge/Background is unique to the app and distance 🧑🎨
👥 And this time, your team matters too.
The Marathon team with the highest total Energy spent during the event week will receive additional exclusive rewards, including a unique badge, a special background, and 5 GGBoxes plus 1 Key for each member 🔥
You trained all season. Now it’s time to prove it.
Get your Season Pass and take your shot 🏁
This is why DeFi positions continue to dwindle
The protocol you're supposedly farming yield on can literally gamble your money on illiquid tokens.
And you're left to bear the loss.
A -100% risk for the chance to earn a 10% profit 🤦🏾
