Dear beloved Wizards
This X account, Mintwiz .app and our Discord Bot will be taking a break from sharing the latest mints.
We will be testing out new things and maybe come back sooner then later.
This isn’t goodbye!
In the meantime, go check out Swizzy's weekly newsletter!👇
Robinhood just added crypto to "agentic trading." Big headline, one year late.
Wayfinder shipped cross-chain agents in open alpha back in August 2025. Non-custodial. Straight into Hyperliquid perps and prediction markets. No brokerage account gatekeeping the wallet.
RH's agents still live inside a custodial account you have to fund and get approved for. Wayfinder's Shells just execute.
CT will call this validation for RH. It's actually a receipt for the OG infra nobody priced in.
Grayscale just filed an S-1 with the SEC for the first Worldcoin ETF in the US. Ticker: GWLD, Nasdaq.
The token backing it: WLD, the coin you earn by letting Sam Altman's Orb scan your iris.
WLD jumped 8% on the filing news alone. $1.3B market cap.
> BitGo Bank & Trust custodies the WLD
> BNY Mellon runs transfer and administration
> Price tracked via the CoinDesk Worldcoin Benchmark Rate
None of that changes what backs the token: a biometric ID system that scans a body part you cannot rotate like a compromised password.
Wall Street just built a regulated, brokerage-account way to bet on biometric crypto without ever touching an Orb yourself.
Would you scan your iris for a WLD airdrop, knowing you can never issue yourself a new one? Reply below, I'll start: not yet.
BIG FAT RED FLAG for anyone still bridging through Allbridge Core.
$1.65M drained from its Solana pools yesterday. Same attack class Allbridge got hit with in 2023.
Here's the mechanism:
> Attacker borrowed $1.12M via a Kamino flash loan
> Rapidly swapped USDC/USDT through Allbridge's pools, skewing the internal ratio
> Withdrew liquidity priced off that skewed ratio, repaid the loan, kept the difference
> Bridged the profit to Ethereum, swapped to ETH, routed part through privacy pools
2023: $650K lost on BNB Chain to this exact pricing flaw.
2026: $1.65M lost on Solana. Different chain, same unfixed math.
Allbridge said they fixed the ratio calculation after the first hit. They fixed it for BNB Chain. Not for Solana.
That's not a hack. That's an incomplete patch.
If a protocol got exploited once for a specific mechanism, the real question isn't "are they safe now." It's "did they fix it everywhere, or just where the cameras were pointed."
Which bridges are you still trusting after a "fixed" post-mortem?

Everyone in CT is watching US ETF flows this week.
Nobody's talking about the $20M check that just went somewhere else entirely.
Tether just invested in Mercado Bitcoin, Brazil's largest crypto platform, alongside SoftBank in a strategic growth round. Not a trading bet. A stake in tokenization, payments, credit and cross-border rails across Latin America.
Stablecoins aren't just a US/EU story anymore. In markets where the local currency doesn't hold value the way USD does, they're becoming the actual banking rail.
I get more DMs from readers in Argentina, Brazil and Nigeria than anywhere else, all asking the same thing: which stablecoin, which exchange, which rail actually holds value where they live.
If you're living on stablecoin rails outside the US or EU: tell me your setup below. I want to feature the real answers, not the theory.
BIG FAT RED FLAG for anyone who thinks smart contract audits are the only security layer that matters.
This week attackers compromised Injective Labs' GitHub account and pushed a malicious npm package straight into their dependency chain, built to steal wallet keys from anyone who installed it.
Not a contract exploit. Not a bridge hack. A supply-chain attack on the tools developers trust by default.
The good part: Injective's team caught and reverted the malicious package in 49 minutes.
The part that should worry you:
> The attack vector wasn't the blockchain, it was the developer's own toolchain
> npm installs run arbitrary code with zero onchain visibility
> 49 minutes was fast only because someone was actively watching
Most teams don't have that response time. Most users have no way to know if a package they installed last week was ever compromised.
If you've pulled any Injective-related package in the last two weeks, have you rotated your keys yet?
I must admit: when I saw "Bitcoin exchange supply lowest since 2017," my gut said classic bullish setup, scarcity bites.
BUT here is the flip.
Bitcoin ETFs alone hold ~641,400 BTC ($73B). Ether ETFs hold ~7.7M ETH ($13.7B).
That's not coins disappearing into cold storage forever. That's coins moving from exchange wallets into custodian wallets, still tradable, just one balance sheet removed.
As an actuary, I don't read "low supply" as a single signal. I read it as two competing explanations:
> Scarcity model: fewer coins available = price floor rises
> Reallocation model: same coins, different custodian, zero net supply change
The old playbook assumed exchange balances = free float. ETFs broke that assumption in 18 months flat.
Low exchange supply used to be the whole story. Now it's half of it.
Which model are you positioned for: scarcity, or reallocation?
X just opened its full real-time firehose to AI agents.
Same week: Kraken, Binance, and OKX each shipped competing agent trading kits.
Here is who's building what:
> X --> MCP servers live. Agents inside Claude, Cursor, and VS Code can now search the full X archive, pull trends, manage bookmarks, and draft posts using your own account
> Kraken --> open-source Rust CLI, 134 trading commands, MCP support since Nov 2025
> Binance --> 7 modular agent skills: order execution, wallet intelligence, smart money tracking, contract risk screening
> OKX --> Agent Trade Kit, 60+ chains, 500+ DEXs, 1.2B API calls handled daily
Every major platform in crypto AND social just built the plumbing for an AI agent economy, not a human one.
Here is the risk nobody's pricing:
If an agent can read your timeline, trade your funds, and post as you, one bad prompt injection touches all three at once.
Are you running any of your accounts through an agent yet, or still human-in-the-loop on everything?
I must admit: when Ordinals launched, my gut said spam.
Jpegs on Bitcoin? NFTs on the timechain? No way that belonged there.
BUT here is the data point that changed everything.
67.9% of all Bitcoin transactions this week were Ordinals and Runes.
That's not spam.
That's the actual Bitcoin blockspace demand in 2026.
Now there's a group trying to fork that out in August.
BIP-110.
@LeonidasNFT called it "the least cypherpunk proposal by the least cypherpunk group in Bitcoin history."
He's not wrong.
Here is what BIP-110 actually wants to do:
> Remove Ordinals and Runes from Bitcoin L1
> Ban non-financial transactions from the base layer
> Restrict permissionless blockspace for the first time in Bitcoin history
BIG FAT RED FLAG.
Not because I love JPEGs.
Because once you let one group define what belongs on Bitcoin, you've already killed what made Bitcoin special.
The cypherpunks didn't build permissionless money so someone could decide which transactions are "worthy."
Are you defending permissionless blockspace or are you on the BIP-110 side?
Let's save our Ordinals, let's save our JPEGs!
Meta is building a prediction market app.
3.56 billion daily active users.
No crypto. No blockchain. Just points.
I must admit: when I saw this headline, I thought Polymarket was toast.
BUT here is the flip:
Meta can't offer real-money bets without a banking license in 50+ countries.
Polymarket runs on USDC. No license needed. No borders.
Meta will teach 3 billion people what prediction markets are.
Polymarket gets the ones who actually want skin in the game.
> Meta Arena: free points, video game mechanics, no real money
> Polymarket: $USDC, real stakes, onchain, censorship-resistant
This is YouTube vs Twitch.
YouTube went to 2 billion users. Twitch kept the serious creators.
Meta Arena isn't competition.
It's FREE MARKETING for onchain prediction markets.
CT is debating which AI token will 10x.
The smarter question: which one actually needs to exist?
The AI crypto market hit $25B in June 2026.
Most of it is still speculation.
Here is the 5-check filter I run on every AI token:
> 1. Does it link to actual compute? (GPU nodes, real inference costs)
> 2. Is there usable, verifiable data behind the token?
> 3. Are there working agents — not demos, not whitepapers?
> 4. Is there live user demand — not just VC wallets?
> 5. Does the token need to exist for the product to work?
Most AI tokens fail at question 1.
Some pass 2-3.
The rare ones that pass all 5: $TAO subnets (Chutes, Score), $NEAR AI layer, @OpenServ, @VeniceAI.
The infrastructure layer is where real conviction lives in H2 2026.
Which AI project in your portfolio passes all 5?
Drop it below.
I'll start: $TAO / Chutes subnet checks every box for me.
We all need a CT and News detox!
1) It's so much going on and on top it's multiplied by everyone wanting to spread the news on CT. Flushing your timeline.
2) People farming articles, doubling them with a quote RT with a memetic clip by Leonardo di Caprio. And you're falling for it and Bookmarking them!
Just to actually never read and if you read never do anything with the new information.
3) Maybe you're one step further and got an agent crawl the web for news, just to find yourself consuming more news then less, just because you feel FOMO.
All this leads to, you, me, us being overwhelmed by all the news and stuff that we're low on energy to actually to something.
How many of the Github Repos I mentioned in my article have you actually tried, how much vibecoding have you done this week, how many trades have you actually taken based on the alpha post you ready from the Alphacaller you're following?!
Surprise, it's probably ZERO!
What I am doing this easter weekend, I am restricting myself of consuming new news, articles or anything, get back to what I have in my bookmarks right now and actually take action on what I read!
I highly recommend you do the same, believe me, you won't miss anything, but you will miss on actually learning or buidling something if you just keep scrolling.
Share your thoughts and experience with me down below 👇
Lost for ideas or how to make your life easier, check out these 30 Github Repos you will find at least one that will help you!
