$6 billion routed. 4 million transactions processed. One million users served.

And just this week, a $6M funding round led by @NorthIslandVC, with participation from @Ripple, @Dialectic_Group, @borderless_cap, and @SceniusCapital - plus angels from @axelar, @Ledger, @Polymer_Labs, @EnsoBuild, and @joinpeanut.

When the names backing you read like a who's who of the infrastructure that holds crypto together, you stop being a startup and start being a standard.

This is a @squidrouter thread. 🧵

You paid fees, read the rules, traded carefully but still lost the account.

Then you paid again - different firm, same ending.

Not every bad trade is bad luck. And here's why.

What you never knew was that, there's drawdown rule buried in page three of a 'terms document' that ended everything before you could even find your rhythm.

And somewhere between the second and third failed challenge, you started wondering if the problem was you.

Hello dear, it wasn't you.

Those platforms were never built to fund you but built to collect your fee, watch you fail, and wait for the next trader who believed the landing page.

That's why I'm finally exposing the go-to platform OG traders have been silently using: @propxbtcom

I'm not going to bore you with long essays but PropXBT is certainly a different product entirely.

Crypto, Forex, Commodities, Stocks - real multi-asset access, not a bullet point. Simulated accounts up to $200K. Challenge conditions written in plain language, with no hidden clauses waiting to catch you at the worst possible moment.

The name carries a signal before you even log in. XBT is Bitcoin's original ticker - the one serious market participants still recognise.

This was crypto-forward from the beginning. Not a forex firm that bolted a BTC pair onto its homepage in 2023 and called it innovation.

The cycle you've been stuck in was never your fault but here lies a better place to find out what you're actually capable of. Come trade with the OGs👇

Never in doubt.

Messi vs Austria. Certainly the GOAT.🐐

If Ronaldo sees even one goal today, may I have nowhere to sleep.

Before I ever placed a trade, I was a spectator with opinions like everyone else. Watching headlines move markets I had no stake in, and reading about gains that were never mine to claim.

Then I traded. And the chart stopped being someone else's story.

That's what just happened to a lot of people on @MEXC. SpaceX ripped 40%+ above its $135 IPO price in days. SPCX futures alone cleared 800M USDT in a single day.

But an IPO is one moment. It is not the whole calendar.

The Fed decision is still ahead. Earnings season is already stacking up, plus AI chip names and Big Tech still have to print.

Every one of those moments has a trade attached on MEXC. Hold the real share on RealStocks. Or go long, go short, on US Stock Futures with zero platform fees, straight from the same USDT balance you already trade crypto from.

It's just one app, one balance, no broker account to juggle, and no FX spread quietly taking its cut before you even see your entry price.

So tell me, who were you before trading? And which one of these moments are you not sitting out?

The Anichess Tournament is now over, and Magnus Carlsen came last.

Behind every challenger on the board.

The same Magnus Carlsen who has sat at world No. 1 longer than some of them have been alive.

You know, that was the point. Anichess lets both players cast spells mid-game, spells that rewrite the board's theory in real time, and the gap that took Magnus two decades to build stopped mattering the moment the rules changed.

Tuesday in Hong Kong, that gap actually closed. 24 players and one @Chessnutech2022 AI in a live simulation. 4 challengers who earned their seat through the Anichess bracket, playing him directly. A few hundred in the room, and the rest watching live, exclusive, on @opensea.

Magnus also sat down with @ysiu, chairman and co-founder of @animocabrands, to talk where strategy goes next - hours before he lost on his own board.

Six hundred million people play chess. For one day, a handful of them found out what it feels like when the legend doesn't win, and @anichessgame brought the magic.

[stark ◢◤ @DefiStark]

Tomorrow, June 16, the greatest chess mind alive, Magnus Carlsen, is walking into a room with over 100 names from AI, finance, and tech already seated.

But the more interesting story is happening on the board.

The Anichess Tournament goes live the same day. 5 days. 1,000,000 $CHECK in the prize pool, with FIDE, JP Morgan, Standard Chartered, and Save the Children all behind it.

For the curious ones, @anichessgame is a Web3 chess platform built by @animocabrands, where chess is not just a game but an ecosystem. Here, strategy meets ownership and every move has stakes.

The Road to Magnus qualifier is live right now and a normal player can still earn that seat. That player could be you!

All the stars are shining brighter at the World Cup:

Messi (3 goals)
Kane (2 goals)
Mbappé (2 goals)
Haaland (2 goals)
Vazinha (7 saves)
Ronaldo (90 minutes) suuiiii😂😂

[stark ◢◤ @DefiStark]

I think there should be something like a sub-world cup where the teams that didn't qualify for the main event get to participate.

A lower division like UEFA Europa league.

The monetary reward will be massive for FIFA.

Hey @FIFAcom, kindly look into this.

[Skrip @P2WFantasy]

FIFA World Rankings

- Italy #12
- Denmark #20
- Nigeria #26
- Poland #35

All of these teams didn’t qualify. There are 48 teams in the World Cup

Having the best teams in the biggest tournament makes sense. The qualifying process is dumb

[stark ◢◤ @DefiStark]

Now, watch Ronaldo smash a shot and breaks a spectator's arm just to force himself into the conversation with his 39th attempt on goal.

[Mr Bayo @mrbayoa1]

Messi with a hat-trick. Haaland with a brace. Mbappé with a brace. Others have made their move. Now we wait for the real GOAT to respond in the second match against Uzbekistan 🐐🔥

The fastest way to change your life is to rip yourself out of your (physical and digital) environment. Change everything overnight. The places you go, the accounts you follow, the info you consume, etc. It's difficult but it absolutely works.

Sometimes, the problem it's isn't Africa or its government, it's the shortage of ideas.

Dear China, please host a world cup in my lifetime, possibly while I'm still in my prime.

I believe I'm speaking the mind of everyone who's an avid tech lover.
