BREAKING: ๐ท๐บ RUSSIA'S 2ND-LARGEST FINANCIAL EXCHANGE SPB JUST ANNOUNCED TO LAUNCH #BITCOIN AND CRYPTO TRADING
MILLIONS OF RUSSIAN INVESTORS ARE ABOUT TO GAIN ACCESS TO BTC
THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF NYSE OR NASDAQ OPENLY LAUNCHING DIGITAL ASSET TRADING
REGULATION IS OPENING THE FLOODGATES IN THE WORLDโS 9TH LARGEST ECONOMY
THE GLOBAL ADOPTION RACE IS ON ๐
this is the $pepe chart after the first leg up
86% retracement, everyone fudding, whales capitulating
we all know what happened next: a historic run and the robinhood listing
with memecoins, the only way to make generational wealth is to digest brutal drawdowns like this
$cashcat is down ~60% from the top, everyone calling the end of robinhood season
i'll come back to this post in a month
I've spent last few weeks testing different on chain analytics tools and one platform keeps finding its way back into my workflow @GeckoTerminal
First, I honestly thought it was just another Dexscreener with another UX
Turns out, it's much more than that.
If you're trading meme coins, monitoring new launches or simply exploring DeFi across multiple chains, having fast and reliable on-chain data is a huge advantage for you
The first thing that stands out is its coverage.
Instead of jumping between different websites depending on whether you're trading on Eth, Solana, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Avax or dozens of other ecosystems, everything is available in one place
That alone saves a ridiculous amount of time.
What I like most is how quickly I can evaluate a token.
For example with $CASHCAT
Within seconds can check
- Current price
- Volume
- Liquidity
- Buy/sell activity
- Recent transactions
- Market momentum
It's exactly datas usually want before spending more time dig a project.
Another feature I use a lot is the liquidity pool explorer
Instead of only looking at a chart, you can immediately understand how healthy a pool actually is.
Deep liquidity, active trading, transaction flow.
Those metrics often tell a much bigger story than price alone
One section that deserves more attention is the "Trending Pools"
Sometimes it's easy to miss where the market's attention is moving
Instead of scrolling endlessly through CT looking for the next narrative, I often check which pools are attracting the most activity first
It's become one of my favorite discovery tools
I also like the "New Pools" page
If you enjoy discovering projects early, it's a great way to monitor fresh liquidity appearing across different blockchains
Obviously, not every new token is worth buying
But having visibility as soon as liquidity goes live gives you an important edge
Charts are another pleasant surprise
They're clean, responsive and load almost instantly
No unnecessary clutter
Whether I'm checking a token for 30 seconds or spending more time analyzing price action, experience feels smooth
One thing that many people overlook is the amount of data available on every token page
Besides the chart itself, you can quickly access:
- Trading pairs
- CA addresses
- Liquidity information
- Txs history
- Pool statistics
Everything is organized in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming
If you're constantly switching between wallets, explorers, Dexs and charting websites, having most of information consolidated into a single interface makes research significantly faster
It's a all in one.
Another reason I trust the platform is that it's built by team behind CoinGecko.
@coingecko has been one of the most widely used crypto data providers for years, so seeing that same focus on reliable market data applied to on-chain trading makes a lot of sense.
Whether you're watching blue chip assets or hunting for newer opportunities, having accurate real-time information matters
No tool will magically make you profitable.
You still need to manage risk, verify contracts and do your own research.
But better data almost always leads to better decisions.
That's exactly where GeckoTerminal fits into my workflow
If you're active in DeFi, trading across multiple chains or simply looking for an easier way to monitor what's happening on-chain, it's definitely worth checking out.
Multiple assets are breaking above their 21-Day and 50-Day MA's for the first time in nearly a year.
$ETHFI is another one.
What does this tell to me? It's telling me that we're going to see a strong DeFi run over the coming period.
Quite strongly this is influenced due to the approval of the Clarity Act (or the potential approval).
Any dips I'm interested into buying, and I think there's a lot of upside to come from here towards the next resistance.
RWA perpetual futures just crossed a huge milestone.
For the first time ever, monthly trading volume has surpassed $100B.
This isn't just another number. It shows traders are increasingly using on-chain markets to gain exposure to real-world assets without relying on traditional financial infrastructure.
With RWA perps, users can trade assets like:
โข Stocks
โข Equity indices
โข Gold
โข Oil
โข FX pairs
All with 24/7 market access, leverage, and stablecoin settlement.
Why this matters:
โ Brings TradFi markets closer to DeFi.
โ Gives traders synthetic exposure without owning the underlying asset.
โ Removes many of the frictions of traditional brokerage access.
โ Shows growing institutional and retail demand for tokenized financial products.
The RWA story is no longer limited to tokenized bonds or yield products.
Perpetual futures are becoming another major layer of the ecosystem, and crossing $100B in monthly volume suggests adoption is accelerating.
The gap between traditional finance and crypto continues to shrink. ๐
QUICK TRADING SNAPSHOT.
โ BREAKOUT โ Price breaks key levels, traders jump in.
โ MOMENTUM โ Ride the trend while itโs strong.
โ REVERSAL โ Catch the turn at support or resistance.
Where to launch a meme?

This app will play an important role in future Web3 environments, helping prevent bots and fake profiles from rigging the game.
๐ฅ Vitalik recently shared a new idea for building stablecoins on Ethereum.
Instead of the current way โ where you deposit ETH, borrow dollars against it, and risk getting liquidated if the price drops โ he suggests splitting the ETH into two tokens. One token works like a stable dollar with much lower risk of big losses. The other token takes the upside when ETH goes up. These two tokens always add up to the original ETH, so thereโs no debt and no forced liquidation when prices fall.
This approach could become a new trend in DeFi. It trades a small amount of price drift for a much safer and simpler system that doesnโt rely on constant price monitoring or sudden liquidations.
Ethereum has always moved forward because of people and teams willing to try new ideas early. We need more projects experimenting with concepts like this to help the ecosystem grow stronger.
I finally made it. Turned 3k into 100k.
I joined Polymarket around October of last year.
At the end of 2025, I gained over $10,000.
Now, halfway through 2026, I've turned that 3k into over $100,000!
Thank you to @Polymarket for providing this opportunity <3
Next goal: ???
I was the only one in the whole Crypto Twitter who was telling you not to get excited by a few green candles.
We will see $BTC below $55k this month. Bookmark this post ๐
feel it in my body crypto AI meta 2.0 is underway. this time with stuff that actually works and generates revenue.
those of you who followed me back in '24 remember we cooked hard with the 1.0 runners zerebro, ai16z, aixbt, etc.
that was the test pump.
AI is a secular trend and crypto rails are almost perfectly built for it. imo we will see a huge flight into quality crypto ai assets -- capital rotating out of saturated AI equities, vaporware crypto projects and whatnot
pay attention. this crypto bear market is for you to position accordingly.
top picks rn:
base:0xacfe6019ed1a7dc6f7b508c02d1b04ec88cc21bf - private and uncensored AI inference, counterbalance to centralized frontier labs censorship and data collection
zcash:native - private SoV, counterbalance to AI surveillance
$NEAR - private transactions + AI agent infrastructure, potential on-chain AI economy on a performant L1
disclosure: i own base:0xacfe6019ed1a7dc6f7b508c02d1b04ec88cc21bf and zcash:native
don't own $NEAR atm coz i think the tokenomics could be better. looking to add at more attractive levels.
for everyone who'll ask about other AI tokens, i doubt the rest are worth holding atm either due to high execution risks or weak tokenomics. remember, the token is also a key part of the product. a good product with a shitty token is like holding pocket aces when your opponent flops a set. you'll get royally fucked. see uniswap/$UNI.
outside of these 3 picks, which i believe to be asymmetric bets at these levels, you might as well hold AI equities.
JAPAN JUST TOOK A MASSIVE STEP TOWARD CRYPTO ADOPTION.
What was once treated as an alternative asset is moving closer to the same framework as traditional investments.
The signal is clear: crypto is becoming part of the financial system, not an outsider to it.
๐น Crypto oversight shifting under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act
๐น Potential approval path for crypto ETFs in Japan
๐น 20% tax treatment aligned with stocks and traditional investments
๐น Investors may be able to offset crypto losses against gains
๐น Stronger protections through insider trading restrictions and enforcement measures
๐น Greater regulatory clarity for institutions and long-term capital
๐น Japan is positioning itself as a leading crypto hub in Asia
๐น Changes expected to roll out between 2027โ2028
Regulatory clarity has always been one of the biggest catalysts for adoption. When major economies create clear rules instead of uncertainty, capital follows.
