Don’t buy $ASTER

Even if you’re scared of missing the next $HYPE — this is not it.

Artificial pump.
No real liquidity.
92% of supply locked in insiders’ wallets.

When CZ mentioned it, that was the sell button — not the buy.

The bull run isn’t done. You’ll get real life-changing plays.

But $ASTER isn’t one of them. It’s designed to take your money and test your patience.

Sometimes the strongest move is to sit on your hands.

The real winners reward patience — not FOMO.

Over 80% of MKR has been upgraded to SKY.

More than half of all SKY is staked, unlocking rewards and governance.

The Sky Ecosystem is stepping into the future.

Great thread on the hidden risks in the neocloud land grab deals with the hyperscalers (Nebius and Microsoft here). Again, are these companies competitors, suppliers and/or landlords?

There is an uncomfortably high 48% probability that the U.S. economy will suffer a recession in the next 12 months. That’s according to Moody’s recently unveiled leading economic indicator, derived using a machine learning algorithm on our extensive databases. It’s less than 50%, but historically, the probability has never gotten this high, and a recession has not ensued.

Today, under the leadership of France and Saudi Arabia, 142 countries have adopted the New York Declaration on the implementation of the Two-State Solution.

Together, we are charting an irreversible path towards peace in the Middle East.

France, Saudi Arabia, and all their partners will be in New York to make this peace plan a reality at the Conference on the Two-State Solution.

Another future is possible. Two peoples, two States : Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security.

It is up to all of us to make it happen!

10-YEAR YIELD AT 4%

The impacts of the long end of the yield curve at these levels cannot be understated -- if it holds. The 10-year has broader implications for consumer financing, mortgages and other loans.

The lowest levels of 2025 were at 3.86%, so there could be some runway here heading into 2026.

Just think about it: the only $WLFI tokens that should have been in circulation was the 5B from the community, right? That’s 5% of the total supply. Add to that 1.6% of the total supply that the WLFI team gave to exchanges ‘for liquidity and marketing’. That’s 6.8% that was actually in circulation.

These 5B tokens were worth $1B at launch (launch price was $0.20). On launch day itself there was BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars of volume, much hype (all this looked very good) but yet the price gradually kept going down. It looked robotic.

It made me suspicious (I posted about it). It was clear the community was actually not even selling. So it had to be the few other entities that owned a lot: exchanges and Justin Sun.

Sun owns 3% of the total supply - of which only 20% would be unlocked at launch and the remaining 80% stayed locked. But because of his little trick with HTX he potentially wanted to sell his entire 3% and tried filling the gap with ‘a small amount’ he sent there.

Also, exchanges own 1.6% of the total supply, right? They might wanted to sell this because they got it for marketing. So suddenly you have 4.8% of the total supply potentially being dumped SINCE MINUTE ONE. As much as all the rest of the tokens being in circulation.

I didn’t say it openly, but I did to some friends. I think Sun and exchanges were the ones selling from the moment WLFI went live. There’s literally no other way. I also think Sun has not been selling only since announcing the 20% APY of HTX. I think he sold from the minute WLFI became tradable and then sent some of his 20% unlocked tokens to cover up a gap of users wanting to sell or withdraw.

Sun got caught red-handed, selling tokens of HTX users to get out of his 80% unvested tokens and his address got frozen.

Once again retail gets played with, while some ‘major forces’ just run away with everything.

Sometimes I’m so sick and tired of this industry.

ICYMI: $XRP eyes a Sept breakout 🚀

After sliding from $3.64 to $2.81, analysts now see @Ripple pushing past $5 as ETF approvals near, corporate treasuries stack $XRP and Fed rate cuts loom

💎 Japanese company @gumi_pr announced it would buy $XRP worth over $2.5B yen ($17.26B)

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

So, wen Polkadot 2.0?

Polkadot 2.0 has three core technical pillars:

→ Async Backing ✅ Boosts rollup throughput.

→ Agile Coretime ✅ Allocates coretime on a rental basis.

→ Elastic Scaling 🔜 Rollups dynamically scale up their compute power.

The passing of Referendum 1721 will enable the RFC103 runtime, which will be enacted on Monday September 8th.

Once enacted, the Relay Chain Elastic Scaling feature is complete!

Ref 1721 is currently passing with 100% AYE vote.

"Solana is faster (than eth).. frankly when i saw the big debate about stable coins all being built on Eth I was like this is a huge oversight. I think Solana is the story for the future as far as stable coins go" - Greg King on IQ today 🔥

Why did he do him like that 😂😂

[Mesh @MeshClans]

pendle: the $65k daily revenue story

everyone is celebrating "emerging" chains doing tiny daily revenue

meanwhile @pendle_fi just casually generated $43.68m in annual revenue with a $1.53b fdv

while l1s with 3-5x higher valuations do less real business

thread on why this makes zero sense 🧵

[Capo.dot 🎩 @CapoDotCapital]

WHY $DOT IS GOING TO HIT $90

• Institutions will buy billions in DOT
• Billions in inflows coming with the future ETF
• Genius Act = stablecoins (trillions)
• Large companies will launch on #Polkadot
• Stock market is moving on-chain
• Gavin Wood still washes his clothes by hand

Like if you agree, RT if you’re bullish.

10 questions about @maplefinance you were too shy to ask (I got you covered) 🫡

1. What is syrupUSD?

syrupUSD is a way to refer to syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT at the same time without mentioning both names specifically. So it is not a seperate or tradable token and you won't find it onchain.

2. What is syrupUSDC/USDT?

These ones are tokens, and kind of a tokenized position representing USDC/USDT deposits in Maple's ecosystem.

3. What is AUM?

This stand for Assets Under Management and includes user's deposits, loans, collateral, accrued yield.

4. Why syrupUSDC supply is 789M, but syrupUSDC AUM is $2.1B?

Tricky question, related to the previous one. The AUM includes both the collateral and the USDC that's deposited into Maple to mint syrupUSDC (both lending and borrowing) while the supply is equal to the amount of USDC deposited (=syrupUSDC minted)

5. What are outstanding loans?

Outstanding loans represent the principal amount currently lent out plus any accrued interest, not yet repaid

6. Do I need to pass KYC to deposit into Maple?

You don't need to verify identity to deposit stables. There is also no min deposit cap, so you can start earning yield even with $10. However, to access blue chips/ higher yield/ $BTC yield you need to pass KYC and deposit from $100K.

7. What is $SYRUP used for?

SYRUP is an utility & governance token within Maple eco. It is also used for staking & yield purposes. By staking $SYRUP, users earn rewards from protocol revenue.Also, 20% of monthly protocol fees are used for regular SYRUP buybacks.

8. How is syrupUSDC performing compared to other stables?

Now, syrupUSDC is the 2nd largest dollar yield asset in DeFi, only behind Ethena's $sUSDe

9. What's the yield?

syrupUSDC generated an average 9.17% APY over the past 30 days. This includes basic yield + "Drips" rewards.

10. Does the GENIUS act have an impact on Maple?

This one is hard to answer, as I'm not a lawyer.. But one thing for sure: with stablecoin regulation finally in place, institutional demand is about to grow.
