Since Binance was denied their EU license , I have been monitoring The land grab for EU exchange customers.
Binance is out the race and the other exchanges are fighting aggressively to capture the share.
Right now none of them are publishing actual results so it’s hard do know exact data.
You can use EES App Store finance rankings to make some assumptions.
Here is the data:
Kraken -1
@BybitEU +23
@Coinbase +26
@okx +103
In the land grab the exchanges are using a deposit bonus as the key to attract users.
The highest I have seen so far is 8% and that is on OKX.
Binance is the biggest loser here of course and with an 8% deposit bonus , USERS ARE THE BIGGEST WINNERS.
Competition is healthy.
World cup takes a break tonight, so a bit of reflection instead.
I'm backing France to go all the way @ 2.80 🇫🇷
Not a value bomb - just a fair price on quality. Tough fixtures still ahead, but no team has impressed me more this tournament.
🏆 Allez Les Bleus!

At this stage @saylor is just “inoculating” the markets and the ratings agencies to the idea that he will sell Bitcoin to pay dividends.
Strategy is no longer a “definite” net buyer of Bitcoin.
Strategy has sold 3,588 $BTC for $216 million to fund dividends on our Digital Credit securities. As of 7/5/2026, we hodl ₿843,775 in our BTC Reserves and $2.55 billion in our USD Reserves. https://t.co/Cssgz29Psj
HONEST TAKE: THE USA DESTROYED THE 96 YEAR-OLD FIFA WORLD CUP!
I know this post won’t make me popular but as a soccer fan, my view is that the FIFA World Cup should maintain its sanctity and not be sold out to American commercialization.
- For 96 years only the best teams have had the privilege of competing in this exclusive tournament. It was exclusive to the best!
This year instead of the normal 32 teams, it’s 48.
So much so that the format has been changed to include a new round of matches to accommodate this slip and generate more ad revenue.
- “Hydration Breaks” - Soccer/Football is and always has been a game of 2 halves. 45 minutes each with one break.
It’s not a Superbowl where there are 5X as many ads played as minutes played.
- Presidential interference for the home team to override a player suspension .I’ve never seen this before.
I get the argument that the American sports market is the biggest in the world but I preferred Soccer before is got here.
Today I’m going with 🇧🇷Brazil 🇳🇴Norway - both teams to score.
So excited for this fixture! Haaland vs Gabriel going to be a massive battle.
Why BTTS? Norway had the worst defensive record of any team that survived the groups and Brazil have conceded in three of their four games.
Both teams have great attackers.

So META is pivoting their AI business into a Data centre business after Zuck admitted they have not made great progress with AI.
META literally has never built anything successful after Facebook.
They bought Instagram.
They bought WhatsApp.
They shut Diem.
They shut the Metaverse.
They failed with AI.
Rather just stop building and buy stuff.
Betting today Leo Messi any time goal scorer vs 🇨🇻Cape Verde tonight.
His form isn't just good, it's historically unprecedented, and he's carrying the entire 🇦🇷Argentina attack.
First player EVER to score in 7 straight World Cup games.

My bet for today is 🇨🇭Switzerland 🇩🇿Algeria both teams to score!
Neither side has kept a clean sheet at this World Cup, and both carry real attacking threat.
Liking the both teams to score bet in these knockout games - if either side scores first, the other has to open up.

But the richest man keeps pushing the narrative that October 11 had nothing to do with them, just as they always do.
No matter what facts or publicly available evidence are presented—including the company’s guilty plea in the U.S.—they simply deny or dismiss them. Accountability is never the response.
Instead of facing the problems, acknowledging what happened, and strengthening their risk controls, they accuse anyone who raises legitimate questions of being “jealous.” 🤣
You over-regulated and overtaxed in the name of consumer protection and now you are not competitive.
So to try and fix this you force your sick to go to work.
Germany's Chancellor Merz:
We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.
We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.
We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.
