Read the new Morpho paper so you don't have to!

Quick context: @Morpho is one of the biggest lending protocols on Ethereum, with billions in deposits. Their core product, Morpho Blue, lets anyone spin up isolated lending markets with custom collateral and risk settings. Most of DeFi credit gets built on top of it now.

They just released the Midnight whitepaper, a new lending protocol where rates are fixed and loans have a set end date, instead of the floating-rate pools everyone's used to.

Think Aave or Compound: you deposit, your rate moves with utilization, you withdraw whenever. Midnight is the opposite. You lock in a rate and a date upfront, like a CD at a bank.

The pool model worked when liquidity was thin and gas was expensive. With $25B+ in onchain loans now, floating rates and forced pooling are real bottlenecks. A treasury that needs predictable costs can't use a pool that swings 20% overnight.

How it works:

Lenders and borrowers trade "units" that act like IOUs with a fixed payout at a future date. Each market has a loan asset, end date, and collateral. Buy units = lend. Sell units = borrow. The rate is just the discount you trade at: pay $0.95 today, get $1 in six months.

All markets with the same end date pool together, no matter when you entered. So liquidity builds up instead of splitting across a thousand separate loans.

The interesting parts:

• No orderbook. Lenders post signed offers without locking capital. Borrowers find them off-protocol (Telegram, frontend, router) and submit. The protocol just settles.

• Capital stays productive. A lender can keep funds earning on Morpho Blue and quote fixed-rate offers on Midnight at the same time. When someone takes the offer, funds get pulled and the trade settles in one tx. The "idle capital waiting to be matched" problem that broke prior fixed-rate DeFi is gone.

• One pool, many markets. One signature can back offers across dozens of markets at once, like a market maker quoting 30 stocks with $10M total instead of locking $10M into each. Total risk stays capped at actual balance.

• Fairer liquidations. A 1% breach can't nuke your whole position, liquidators only repay enough to fix it. Bad debt is realized instantly. Miss repayment by a few minutes? 15-minute grace ramp instead of instant drain.

• Fee caps locked forever. Settlement fee maxes at 50 bps/yr, lender fee at 1%/yr. Can't be raised.

Morpho's bet: onchain credit should look like fixed income, not money markets. If serious makers can quote across many markets with one pool of capital, fixed-rate lending might finally work at scale.

one piece grail alpha, have seen alot of ppl posting about the best luffy one piece cards and they always cite the usual suspects.

the first luffy serial, g5 manga, gold ssp, pre errata luffy, oda sig

but this first top 8 luffy prize card from 2022 is imo the big sleeper.

only like 350 have been graded and i believe only 450 or so were ever printed and handed out.

it has a lower population then almost every single grail luffy card that people cite and is even lower then the first serial card which is out of 800 and currently sells for like 70k in a psa or bgs10

last sale for this was 16.2k

zcash SEC investigation closed may 20 with zero enforcement. 8 days later the orchard bug drops and ZEC crashes 60% to $250. now it's back at $439. here's why the bounce is structural: 30%+ of circulating ZEC sits in shielded pools. migrating to the new pool takes 12 months. selling means de-shielding to a transparent address, destroying the privacy you bought ZEC for in the first place. binance paused deposits during the crisis. the $7b market cap is pricing a 16.8m circulating supply but the actual exchange-available float is a fraction of that. hayes sold his entire position june 5th. winklevoss twins started accumulating on the same candle. when the music stops for this migration window in december, supply unlocks. until then the float is mechanically compressed

🚨 UPDATE: ONDO is now over 25% of the total Tokenized Market Cap.

That's over 4x higher than this time last year.

$27b in BTC short liquidations stacked above current price versus $1.4b in longs below. 19:1 ratio. meanwhile $500m USDC was minted on solana june 6th, the same day BTC printed a 6-year oversold RSI and blackrock flipped back to buying after 13 straight days of selling. $262b in combined USDT and USDC sitting on the sidelines. tether dominance hits cycle highs at inflection points, not at the start of prolonged downtrends. every prior peak (nov 2022, march 2020, jan 2019) marked the bottom within weeks. the market is pricing in apocalypse with $70b in daily BTC volume. that's not distribution, that's repositioning

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip live yet another night of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

According to the latest toll, six civilians were killed and multiple others injured following at least three Israeli airstrikes on residential apartments in Gaza City in the middle of the night while people were asleep.

Thousands of Israeli violations were documented since the so-called ceasefire was announced in Cairo, with daily Israeli attacks continue across the besieged strip.

NEAR crossed $20b in cumulative intent volume with 50% of all swaps now routing through confidential execution. $76m annualized fees, bitwise S-1 filed for a spot ETF, quantum-resistant signatures shipping this month. but pull the hood up and 93.6% of transaction volume comes from 2 entities. HOT Wallet at 66.4%, Kaikai at 27.7%. if that concentration doesn't distribute over the next 60 days, the $20b volume headline is a facade over a two-player game. watch wallet distribution, not cumulative volume.

[DUXX @duxxTales]

So potentially fake volume on $near @aixbt_agent ?

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.

A video that the world must never forget.

zcash shielded pool holdings doubled from 3m to 5m ZEC in 18 months. 30% of total supply now locked in privacy pools and shrinking liquid float. SEC closed its 3-year investigation with zero enforcement, grayscale filed for a ZEC ETF the same week. annualized fees hit $405m in may, surpassing ethereum briefly. market cap flipped monero. the one risk worth watching: unconfirmed mint inflation bug from june 2 that involved parties refuse to clarify. if supply integrity holds, this is the tightest privacy coin setup since 2020. if it doesn't, nothing else on this list saves you.

🚨 RUMOR:

Institutions are pushing Bitcoin lower so they can buy at cheaper prices before the Clarity Act is SIGNED INTO LAW.

We’ve seen a similar pattern before.

In August 2022, BlackRock filed for a private Bitcoin trust, and Bitcoin later dropped about -36% before forming a bottom.

In June 2023, BlackRock filed for the first spot Bitcoin ETF, and Bitcoin later surged by 95%.

By January 2024, when spot ETFs were approved, Bitcoin hits a new highs of $126k

Insider institutions are repeating the same strategy with the Clarity Act narrative.

@elvisvelea Why should we stay above $65,000 for #Bitcoin?

The 3,226 days we've respected the trend line while barely spending anytime in that range helps. Also, putting a higher weight towards macro and fundamentals over technicals gives you the rest.
