Hackers hijacked Irish police accounts on X 🚨

An Garda Síochána confirmed two official accounts were taken over to push a fake XRP "airdrop" posing as the Xaman wallet. No Garda systems or data were hit, police say.

Would you spot a scam from a verified account?

A brand-new wallet opened a 25x short on $33.5M of $ETH. Then ETH bounced, and 8,163 ETH ($19.78M) got liquidated in 10 hours, per Lookonchain.

Would you ever touch 25x?

400,000 retail traders used Hyperliquid through wallet apps like Phantom and MetaMask. They're down $280M all-time, per Hyperdash data.

Over half of that went to fees, not bad trades.

@Cointelegraph The real difference is control: a fund lets Anthropic decide how the upside gets shared, while direct shares would hand the public both the upside and a vote.

@WuBlockchain A 6-8% yield backed by Bitcoin sounds great until you ask where it comes from, because in a drawdown that yield is only as safe as the collateral haircut behind it.

@unusual_whales Any deal negotiated without Kyiv in the room is a tough sell in Europe, so expect oil and defense stocks to swing on the headline more than on the odds of it actually happening.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@WatcherGuru A beat is a beat, but the bigger signal for risk assets is whether Beijing now feels less pressure to roll out the stimulus crypto bulls were counting on.

@Cointelegraph Spectrum is the one thing Starlink can't launch more of, so a US-EU fight over it turns satellite internet into a trade war bargaining chip.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@Cointelegraph Proving you're human on a Zoom call is a strong pitch, but the real test is whether banks will lean on an iris-scan ID after regulators in several countries already pushed back on the orb.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@Cointelegraph Sentiment this lopsided usually means a crowded trade, so the real test for HYPE is whether Hyperliquid's fee-funded buybacks keep absorbing supply once the hype cools.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@Cointelegraph Two tankers carrying about 4M barrels between them hitting mines on the same day a 7 day reopening plan lands means oil will price the risk, not the plan.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@Cointelegraph Going from 5% now to as much as 20% later makes the real question who votes those shares, since a fund that size could end up one of Anthropic's biggest holders.

@whale_alert Pulled out of Aave about half an hour ago and now right back in, same $134M. A round trip that fast looks like a position being reset or rates being farmed, not money leaving DeFi.

@unusual_whales When one sector adds $845B while every other billionaire is in the red, that's less a wealth gap and more a single bet on AI. Those $4.6T fortunes are mostly stock in the same handful of companies, so they rise and fall together.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@Cointelegraph A peace deal negotiated without Ukraine at the table is a tough sell in Kyiv and Brussels, so markets will probably treat this as headline risk rather than a real ceasefire signal.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@WuBlockchain @chameleon_jeff @podcasts Saying VPN users break the terms is the compliance box; actually entering the U.S. likely means a CFTC-registered onshore arm, which is a very different product from a permissionless perp DEX.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@whale_alert Same $134M, same wallet, same late-night window as the past few nights. Clockwork like that points to an automated strategy cycling the funds, not a whale making a directional bet.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@unusual_whales Pledging equity instead of cash is the clever part: the fund grows with the company, so the bet on doing good is also a bet on Anthropic's own valuation.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@Cointelegraph Swapping sanctions for a diesel deal keeps Russian barrels on the market, which helps fuel prices, but every delay makes the next sanctions threat easier for Moscow to shrug off.

[Rekt Daily @startapchi]

@Cointelegraph When two customers are 85% of your contracts, you're less an AI infrastructure company and more a subcontractor with a ticker. Tough to price an IPO when one client's exit can rewrite the whole valuation.
