Capital markets are funding the AI buildout at historic scale: ~$400B over 6 months. Bitcoin ETFs have seen ~$4B of outflows since May 14, pressuring $BTC. This is a capital rotation, not a Bitcoin impairment. Volatility creates opportunity.
Standard Chartered resta bullish su Ethereum, in un momento di debolezza. La situazione però ha qualche similitudine con Amazon nel 2001.

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES..
THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!!
The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing"..
It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point..
Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume"..
Every single firm said yes..
Here's what they recorded..
Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume"..
When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200"..
$200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume..
MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera..
"We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit"..
He said that on a recorded FBI video call..
CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely..
ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic..
All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded..
And the clients were even worse..
Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors..
$7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic..
One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook..
Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything..
When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture..
But here's the part that broke my brain..
Real people bought NexFundAI..
The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish..
When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token..
The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..
And it gets worse..
Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day..
Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for..
Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore..
IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular..
The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected..
The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured..
And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.
Trump è partito per la Cina con una delegazione pesantissima di CEO americani.
Non è una semplice visita diplomatica, ma gli obiettivi sono commerciali (e probabilmente strappare accordi che facciano pompare un po' i mercati!)
L’obiettivo è chiaro: provare a “riaprire” la Cina alle aziende USA, portando al tavolo i campioni nazionali americani: tech, AI, chip, auto, finance, pagamenti, industria.
Il tema più delicato è probabilmente quello dei chip.
Se Nvidia dovesse ottenere aperture reali sulla vendita di chip AI alla Cina, sarebbe una notizia enorme. Non solo per Nvidia, ma per tutto il mercato tech e per il sentiment risk-on globale.
Poi ci sono Tesla e Apple, che hanno un interesse enorme a stabilizzare i rapporti con Pechino: supply chain, produzione, vendite, regolamentazione.
E dietro, ovviamente, restano i temi geopolitici veri: Taiwan, Iran, commercio, tariffe, semiconduttori, terre rare.
Trump penso voglia tornare a casa con un deal vendibile politicamente. Non per forza una svolta storica.
Anche solo una tregua credibile, qualche apertura commerciale e un tono più distensivo potrebbero bastare per dare ai mercati un segnale positivo.
Scenario più probabile: accordo “market friendly”, molto comunicato alla Trump maniera e magari poco strutturale.
Scenario più bullish: deal concreto su AI/chip.
Scenario più deludente: tante foto, poca sostanza.
Ma il punto è che questa non è una notizia da archiviare come folklore diplomatico.
Quando Stati Uniti, Cina, Nvidia, Apple, Tesla e Wall Street finiscono nello stesso tavolo, il mercato deve guardare molto attentamente.
Perché se passa il messaggio che la tensione USA-Cina può raffreddarsi, anche solo temporaneamente, il risk-on potrebbe ricevere benzina vera!
Claude for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are now generally available, and Claude for Outlook is in public beta.
As Claude moves between your Microsoft apps, it carries the full context of your conversation.
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
🚨COS'HA DETTO POWELL:
• L'inflazione ora è ELEVATA, non più solo "SOMEHOW ELEVATED"
• Si è parlato addirittura di AUMENTI dei tassi (non definiti probabili, ma che se sarà necessario verranno fatti)
• Se il prezzo del petrolio rimane alto a lungo, la situazione potrebbe deteriorarsi in modo irreversibile con danni molto maggiori
• Quello che accadrà nei prossimi 30-60 giorni sarà DECISIVO
• Questo era l'ultimo FOMC che farà come Presidente della FED, ma Powell non lascerà la FED e rimarrà come Governor
Nel mentre Trump minaccia escalation militare con l'Iran e Putin si sta mettendo in mezzo dicendo che se lo fa ci saranno conseguenze.
CLAUDE CODE CAN NOW COPY ANY UI ON THE INTERNET.
It scans real websites and rebuilds their design system instantly, turning any page into your own starting point.
IF CLAUDE FEELS DUMBER LATELY IT'S BECAUSE ANTHROPIC REDUCED THE EFFORT. HERE'S HOW TO TURN IT BACK UP:
everyone's been saying Opus got nerfed. something feels off. responses are shallow. thinking is gone.
turns out it's a configuration change. Claude Code users can type /effort max to get the old behavior back
but for chat users there is no toggle.
here's the fix nobody told you about:
go to Settings > Profile > Custom Instructions and paste something like this
"Always reason thoroughly and deeply. Treat every request as complex unless I explicitly say otherwise. Never optimize for brevity at the expense of quality. Think step-by-step, consider tradeoffs, and provide comprehensive analysis."
the difference is night and day because Claude actually reads the full context again. considers tradeoffs. gives real analysis instead of surface-level bullet points.
Claude itself told this guy about this workaround.
it can't control its own effort settings but it responds to strong signals in your custom instructions
A list of EVERYTHING you can do in crypto x AI right now to make more money in the markets.
(very high ROI - save this)
• Connect TradingView to Claude for instant chart data, alert management, and more
• Use Perplexity Finance for deep crypto research (and create watchlists, alerts)
• Use Perplexity Computer as your personal market research employee
• Build a crypto researcher Claude Skill (also like having your own research employee)
• Set up Scheduled Tasks in Cowork to automate daily research
• Vibe-code a crypto portfolio dashboard to help keep you on track with your goals (Gemini/Claude)
• Vibe-code a crypto research dashboard that scans top crypto websites and puts the data in one place
• Set up an OpenClaw agent that scans your Discord, Telegram, and other crypto apps daily
• Train an agent on your trading parameters (entries, exits, strategy, etc.)
• Connect crypto MCPs to Claude for instant data (CoinGecko MCP is a good place to start)
• Use Grok for daily market scans (or the X API/MCP)
• Summarise crypto YouTube videos in seconds with Glasp. Then store it all in a database for easy access anytime (Notion, Obsidian, etc.).
• Build a second-brain database with Claude Code x Obsidian (stores all your trades, research, etc.)
SO many ideas.
Make your goal to implement 1-2 of these by the end of the week.
Around this time last year, for the first time in years, I was feeling lost.
I was bleeding money in crypto, my business was stalling, and content was burning me out.
As a last-ditch effort, I tried a Claude prompt I found online (with zero expectations).
The result absolutely shocked me and changed my entire life/business trajectory.
Since using it, I've given it to friends and family, and ALL of them who used it said it was eye-opening.
One of the most valuable prompts I could ever give you. Copy & paste into your LLM.
Add the advisor tool to your Messages API call. When your Sonnet or Haiku agent hits a hard decision mid-run, it consults Opus, gets a plan, and continues, all within a single API request.
Introducing Website to App.
Turn any website into an native mobile app.
Just paste a URL.
Claude Opus 4.6 will code, design, launch and translate a mobile app inspired by the original website.
We’ve been using this internally a ton for iOS/Android apps.
Introducing Claude Managed Agents: everything you need to build and deploy agents at scale.
It pairs an agent harness tuned for performance with production infrastructure, so you can go from prototype to launch in days.
Now in public beta on the Claude Platform.
BULLISH:
Ethereum just proposed its most important upgrade in years.
The Ethereum Economic Zone. EEZ.
20+ L2s. $40 billion in TVL. All unified. No bridges.
L2s scaled Ethereum. But they also broke it.
Liquidity split. UX fractured. Value leaked from $ETH.
The EEZ fixes everything.
One Ethereum. Not a hundred islands.
