Retail investors are moving to the sidelines:
Retail investors sold stocks for 3 consecutive days ending Wednesday, the first such streak since the 2020 pandemic.
On Monday alone, retail outflows were the highest since November 2023.
Semiconductors and AI-related stocks saw the largest sales during this period.
On Wednesday, Micron, $MU, saw -$169.4 million in sales, followed by AMD, $AMD, at -$38.7 million and Marvell, $MRVL, at -$35.8 million.
This comes after individual investors have bought single stocks during nearly every trading session in 2026 before this week.
Retail investors are cashing in gains.
@0xSoju@MeteoraAG Time to deploy the usdc treasury as meteora reserve
- Btc / sol / hype / met / and save some usdc just in case ?
Current meteora market cap 55 million
Meteora’s treasury worth 32 millions, if market bounce 30% the treasury will be bigger than the current meteora mcap..
LA JUSTICIA SE LO DIO A LA MADRE Y HOY EL CHICO ESTÁ MUERTO:
Lamentablemente este es el caso de Angel, un nene de 4 años que vivía con su padre y no quería ir con su madre. Pero la justicia ordenó que se lo entreguen a la MUJER.
Murió tras ingresar al hospital sin signos vitales. Su madre dijo que "le costaba respirar", pero la autopsia dio como resultado que tenía lesiones internas en la cabeza. Lo mejor es que lo dejó al chico ESTANDO EN COMA y se fue a dormir la muy malparida.
Espero realmente que pague toda su vida tras las rejas!

@mert You can have both cases but if the token doesn’t have utility the price in both scenarios tend to zero.
Yeah good product, amazing the new features, acquisitions, etc . However, no token utility =~ 0
@0xSoju This actually pretty amazing to have nowadays in crypto
Treating a crypto project as legacy company finally can make homogeneous analysis about the financial health and transparency
It also allows us to compare and use some metrics such as PER/ ROI / etc lol
@retiredchaddev Should @SolanaFndn start buying some main project of its ecosystem in order to support them and making some kind of treasury as normal corporations do ?
The idea is avoid what’s happening on hyperliquid. Only the main token is surviving and the rest is -99%

Balderton Capital got a ~2,050× multiple on its £1.5M seed investment in Revolut. Today that stake is worth around $6.15B 🤯
The numbers (roughly from Crunchbase & Bloomberg data):
Balderton first invested £1.5M in Revolut’s 2015 seed round at an £8M valuation, which gave the firm 14.56% of the company. Seedcamp also invested at this stage.
In 2016, Index Ventures led a £4.8M follow-on seed round. The dilution from this round reduced Balderton’s stake to ~9.1%.
Shortly after, Balderton led the Series A. Following that round, their position adjusted to ~10.9%.
As Revolut scaled, several significant fundraising rounds followed:
- $250M at a $1.95B valuation
- $580M at $6.08B
- $800M at $33.8B
After these rounds, Balderton’s stake moved to 9.29% → 8.40% → 8.20%.
At the $33.8B valuation, their stake was worth approximately $2.77B.
In 2024 and 2025, secondary transactions priced Revolut at $45B and then $75B.
At the $75B valuation, Balderton’s ~8.2% stake is estimated at $6.15B.
Across their early checks (roughly £3M in total), this results in an approximate 2,050× return on capital.
For context:
An individual who invested £1,000 on the same terms would see that grow to roughly £2,050,000.
This single position generated more than 20× the size of Balderton’s £300M fund 🤯
This is probably the best single VC investment in Europe's history
story behind "why netflix built https://t.co/YDCurkt2BM" is brilliant.
so, netflix had a massive fight with ISPs around 2014-2016. ISPs were slowing down netflix on purpose. they wanted more money from netflix
customers got bad streaming. but ISPs just blamed netflix.
netflix had to pay comcast, verizon, at&t and time warner for direct connections to their networks.
but in 2016, they launched fast dot com, clever part - It's not testing your general internet speed. It's testing your speed to netflix's servers specifically. so when someone complained about buffering, netflix could say "run fast dot com." If it's slow, the ISP is the bottleneck.
suddenly millions of people had a tool to prove their ISP was the problem
ISPs couldn't hide anymore.
netflix positioned themselves as the transparent good guys fighting for customers while ISPs looked like greedy monopolies
they solved a pr problem and a customer service problem with one simple website
I guess, that's how you win a corporate war
