810,000 ratail wallets lost over $2 billion from $trump token
here's what the on-chain data actually shows:
the contract address was created 12 hours before trump publicly announced the token
giving insiders more than enough time to position themselves before the public even knew it existed
on the day one, one wallet bought around 6 million tokens at 18 cents
when the announcement dropped, the token hit $75
by the time retail rushed in, the exit was already being set up
the wallet which bought 6 million tokens at 18 cents, sold the next day and made $109m profit
in the first 19 days of trading, over 60 whales each made $10M+, early traders and insiders cashed out $6.6 billion in profits combined
meanwhile 813,294 regular wallets were on the other side of those trades
for every $1 in fees earned by trump's partners, investors lost $20 in value
reuters puts the total fees collected at $616 million to date
80% of the token supply was locked and owned by two trump-linked entities the entire time
the token has since fallen 97% from its january 2025 peak
they didn't stop only at $trump
-from $WLFI wiped out $12.3billion
-from $ABTC wiped out $11billion
-from $MELANIA wiped out $10.6 billion
no political opinion needed here, the math does all the talking
btw did you aped in any of these tokens
be honest!!
🚨NEW: JAPAN IS TESTING A DRUG THAT COULD REGROW HUMAN TEETH
Researchers in Japan have developed a treatment that blocks the USAG-1 protein, potentially allowing dormant tooth buds to activate and grow entirely new teeth.
The breakthrough could one day end the reliance on dentures and implants.
The Bank of Japan delivered what can be described as a hawkish hike, but the yen did not react as expected. Despite policy rates reaching a multi-decade high, guidance suggests that tightening is only just beginning.
Fed Minutes: Officials Support December Rate Cut but Signal Caution on Further Easing
Fed staff revised the economic growth outlook modestly higher compared with the October meeting
Most participants supported lowering the federal funds rate, though some preferred leaving rates unchanged
Several policymakers said the decision to cut rates was finely balanced
Some participants suggested it may be appropriate to leave rates unchanged for some time after a December cut
Most officials judged further rate cuts would be appropriate if inflation continues to decline as expected
Several warned that cutting rates too quickly could risk higher inflation becoming entrenched and be misinterpreted as weakening commitment to the 2% inflation target
Many participants said moving toward a more neutral policy stance could help prevent deterioration in the labor market
Participants judged reserve balances had declined to ample levels, supporting the start of reserve management Treasury purchases
Policymakers emphasized that Treasury purchases are intended solely for rate control and do not signal a change in monetary policy stance

The Bank of England has cut rates, but was more hawkish than expected.
It's a close call whether the Bank cuts again in February or March, but we think the UK will soon look like less of an inflation outlier, and we expect 2 cuts in the first half of 2026.https://t.co/eZREge0JfT
NEWS: Starlink’s global internet traffic more than doubled in 2025, based on new data from Cloudflare.
It now has ~8 million active users in more than 150 markets, up from around 4 million in 2024.
🇦🇺 Australian employment dropped -21.3k (vs +20k expected) in November, the largest monthly decline since February.
The unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.3% (though up 0.4 ppts YoY) as the number of unemployed edged down by -2.1k.
Wow. Dissent is back a the Federal Reserve.
3 people voted against today's cut. -->The most dissent since 2019.
And check out the "dot plot."
6 people did NOT want to cut today. (Some of those people don't vote at the meetings).
2026 is even more wild.
The bottom line: "Stagflation-lite" is a tough and confusing situation for Americans and the Fed.
From FOMC:
Fed's Miran dissented for 50 bps cut
Schmid & Goolsbee dissented for no cut
Lowest dot in 2026 2.1% (likely Miran, as he told me earlier that the low dots in September dot plot were him)
🚨 MARKETS FEAR THE GUIDANCE, NOT THE RATE CUT
Kalshi odds show a 97% chance of a 25 bps cut today, but the real risk is the Fed’s 2026 outlook. September projections signaled only one cut next year and a 3.4% year-end rate. Analysts expect guidance to turn neutral to hawkish as the Fed stays on hold into early 2026, potentially pressuring equities. Powell is likely to emphasize that further cuts require weaker inflation or higher unemployment. With his term ending in May, today’s decision and press conference will be closely watched.
