This isn’t new. Border agents have always been among the most powerful authorities you deal with while traveling. If you don’t cooperate, they can simply refuse entry. Some ideas:
1. you can basically Copy the Default/Profile folder of your Chrome/brave/browser and then have a clean browser when you're crossing a border and the Paste it back when you are in a safe place. ( you can hide that folder OR encrypt it OR use VeraCrypt to create a volume with .mp3 format and put the files in there )
2. you should never have more than you afford to lose on the phone when crossing border or in general. just don't have anything on you that makes them question you.
3. LOG OUT of your main google or email. and just log back in when you corssed the border. easy af. but will save you a lot.
4. instead of saving all of your password in different places use something bitwarden with high security. and delete that app when you're crossing the border and install again after it. just make sure you can log back in :)
5. you can use something like YubiKey/Passkeys for logging in your preferred websites/platforms.
6. have a hidden photo app on your phone if you want. those that have 2 separate vaults/passwords.
this might be too much for many people. but if you travel a lot and you like to take care of yourself or for example you're someone coming from a not well named country, then it's better to protect yourself from unwanted troubles.
many are over indexing the importance of rate cuts while under indexing importance of 10yr yield here
low rates are great, but if inflation is hot then cuts could send the 10yr higher (this would mark the cycle top IMO)
10yr yield will be your friend for timing a top this cycle
Over 309M $LIQD are staked...that’s 30%+ of supply locked up.
With only ~690M in true circulation and falling, this float is tight. At just a $300M cap, $LIQD = $0.43
At $1B? You’re looking at $1.44+
If https://t.co/Dlm6D5B019 is worth $4B, this is the most asymmetric play in crypto.
Hyperliquid. $hype
@AlucardTrades WuBlockChain just commented on the article and the hacker still hold $50M in SUI in his wallet https://t.co/v8ghEwc4Zr
This is the hacker address on SUI: 0xe28b50cef1d633ea43d3296a3f6b67ff0312a5f1a99f0af753c85b8b5de8ff06
Suiscan shows that the hacker: 0xe28b...e8ff06 drained token liquidity from various Cetus pools and swapped it for SUI. The hacker currently holds assets worth ~$150 million, including 12.989 million SUI (~$54 million).
@skewga_hyper I have a theory: if there's an SS3 airdrop, it will dilute current holders, so big whales who aren't farming HyperEVM might want to exit quickly before the airdrop to avoid getting diluted.
My takeaways:
- MLM is Hyperliquid ZachXBT, a must follow
- Sell shaming is dumb. Also this confirms he is done selling
- Less concentrated supply is good (0.8% -> 0.6% of total supply)
- Price is 15% higher than his sells, meaning buyers were given a liquid entry they wanted
SmartestMoney sold almost 2 million HYPE and is short 1.875M HYPE ($46.9M) claiming to do so in order to farm the basis
Over the last 24 days, he has sold 1,954M HYPE for $42,12M with an average exit price of $22.05
He is still holding 6.012M HYPE (worth $150.3M), along with a couple of million dollars in PURR, HFUN, and FARM, none of which he has ever sold
- 3.558M HYPE ($88.95M) is staked
- 2.454M HYPE ($61,36M) is active in various DeFi protocols like Hyperlend, Felix, Laminar and Valantis
If you include the short, he is directionally long:
4.14M HYPE ($103.4M) = 6.012M HYPE - 1.875M HYPE short

So how did I know it was him?
He sent a total of 2.72M HYPE to Gate through his previously doxxed wallets. Using his personal Gate deposit address, I could find all his wallets:
https://t.co/RupGUzOMJK
I then checked the CEX flows and found out which wallets received HYPE within this range. I filtered out the ones that sold and checked their APIs. All the API keys were named the same, as they belonged to the same entity. They named the APIs Stax9, Stax10, Stax11, etc., referring to the Ledger Stax being used for that wallet. SmartestMoney did this earlier when buying HYPE, he used API keys like Ledger22, Ledger24 on his doxxed wallets.
Okay, but that could be a coincidence?
Not really. They all had the same execution and the same pattern of selling. They all had matching API keys, and Smartest sent just a bit more to Gate, which wasn't transferred out to any other public wallets
So how did I know he shorted the $45M worth of HYPE?
I checked USDC flows to Binance and found that someone had been sending USDC from Coinbase to Binance using Base. The matching amounts were later deposited into Hyperliquid, which the shorter’s wallet received from Binance. And who was using Coinbase for all his USDC deposits/transfers earlier? Exactly, SmartestMoney. Only someone trying to stay off the radar would do this. Oh yeah, the API key was named STAX25SHORT, by the way, so this confirms it’s the same person.

Quick disclaimer: Everyone wants confirmation that the bags they hold are good, so when someone starts selling or fudding, people can get toxic toward them. Don’t do that to SmartestMoney. He’s still the top holder with 6M HYPE and contributes daily to this rapidly growing ecosystem. He supports most HyperEVM protocols and actively engages with builders, community members, etc. He defended the floor at key price levels when it mattered most, and to do that, he needs to manage his cash positions. He full ported into HYPE after the TGE and sat through a 9-figure+ drawdown when we dropped from $35 to $10. That’s a massive amount of money, so derisking some is totally normal. He still believes in the protocol and is now done selling. This is great for long-term healthy price action and even better for distribution.
I calculated his holdings at a price of $25 per HYPE
