Feels like the FED's worst-case scenario is playing out rn: Stagflation, Rising inflation and Negative growth.

Markets pumping on Negative GDP data which makes me wonder if this is a trap?

I broke down my study on what this means for crypto in short, mid & long term: 🧵👇

🚨 $MOVE token scandal rocks Movement Labs

Dec 2024: A market maker dumps 66M $MOVE ($38M) on Binance. Binance bans the firm immediately.

This was an alarming signal for us, but everyone ignored it - even Trump’s WLFI.

Was this a rug? Mismanagement? Or something deeper? Let’s break it down:

Dec 9: $MOVE launches on OKX
Dec 10: A market maker (linked to Rentech) dumps tokens on Binance. Binance bans them for manipulation.

Movement Labs claims it was a breach of contract.

$38M gone. Price nukes. Retail rekt.But over time, people forgot  they thought the market maker betrayed Movement Labs.
Retail moved on, but for investors and exchanges, alarm bells were ringing and they independently initiated an audit.

Mar 25: In the midst of this, Movement Labs announces it recovered the $38M & will use it for ecosystem growth.

Apr 16: Groom Lake begins a full audit. (It’s said the audit started due to pressure from investors and exchanges, but there’s no official confirmation.)
Co-founder Rushi Manche takes "temporary leave."Rumors of insider influence grow louder.

Apr 30: Reports reveal Rentech got ~5% of $MOVE supply via a secretive deal.

So the audit made it clear the founder lied when he claimed the market maker breached the contract.

May 2: Rushi Manche is suspended.
Coinbase halts $MOVE trading (May 15)
Price hits $0.20 all-time low.

Users on X are furious, airdrop delays(lol), poor transparency, no answers.

One more thing: $MOVE is partof Trump’s “World Liberty Financial” portfolio.
Yes, a Trump-backed DeFi exposure includes a project now under audit, with founders suspended.

Did his team even vet this? Red flags everywhere.

What’s clear: 5% token to a shady MM = disaster.

And it’s obvious the founder were involved.They didn’t just cheat retailers, they cheated investors too.

AI Agent x Crypto: The Comeback You Should Actually Pay Attention TO

Remember the Ai Agent hype in late 2024? Everyone was aping into anything that slapped “AI” on a token. Charts were pumping, Twitter threads were non-stop, and every project was claiming to be the next OpenAI of Web3.

But guess what? The hype wave has passed and that’s great news.

Now, we’re in the real phase of the narrative.No more vaporware. No more empty promises.

The spotlight has shifted to actual builders teams shipping real products, getting users, and solving real problems.

Crypto × AI isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a powerful combo and the ones who get it right could lead the next wave of adoption.

Here’s a quick radar of projects that aren’t just riding the narrative, but defining it:

COD3X:
Ever wanted your own AI trading agent? Cod3x lets you create and deploy one and it logs everything on-chain. Total transparency.

ORBIT:
DeFi made super easy.Just type what you want “swap my ETH for stETH and stake it” - and Orbit does it across 200+ protocols on 100+ chains. It’s like ChatGPT meets DeFi.

HEY ANON:
Serious alpha for traders. AI overlays help with better entries, exits, and position sizing. Traders are quietly using this for a competitive edge.

FUNGI:
You deposit USDC. The AI hunts for the best yields, manages risk, and rotates capital like a pro. Think of it as your personal DeFi portfolio manager, 24/7.

ALMANAK:
Institutional-grade AI agents. Backtesting, risk models, yield farming, built for DAOs and big players.

VIRTUALS: Want to create your own AI agents? Virtuals lets you do it with no code.

Bottom line?
The AI + Crypto narrative is evolving.We’ve moved from hype to execution. From promises to products.
So if you’re still betting on this space (and you should be), back the builders, not the noise.

And no, this isn’t a coin-shill post, Go use these products.
See the real innovation happening at the intersection of AI and crypto.
Try them yourself. That’s where the alpha is.

Big: Coinbase Just Launched x402: built-in “Pay” button for Internet

What is x402 and Why It Matters for Internet Payments

What is x402?
x402 builds on an old but unused HTTP status code: 402 – Payment Required.

This code has existed since the early days of the internet but was never put to practical use. Now, with x402, it’s being activated as a native way to handle small, instant payments online using stablecoins like USDC.

Why This is Important:

Micro transactions Become Practical: Paying small amounts (even fractions of a dollar) becomes easy and cost-effective.

No Need for Accounts or Banks: x402 payments are handled directly through the web, without platforms like PayPal or Visa.

AI Agents Can Transact: Future AIs could independently pay for content, services, or tools in real time.

In Summary:

x402 adds a 'Native Payment Layer To The Internet' - enabling decentralized transactions. While still early, it opens up a new design space for apps, websites, and AI services to interact economically.

Been digging into RWA infra lately and this one hit different..

- Banks get privacy + compliance + control
- $38M raised w/ ParaFi
- JPM, Brazil’s central bank already in
- Real infra for $100T tokenization

India and Pakistan are on the brink of something bigger

Airstrikes. Diplomatic collapses. Border gunfire. And in the middle of it all, Bitcoin just touched $97,300

So, let’s break down exactly what’s happening, why it matters and how the crypto market could react next:

While everyone was busy looking elsewhere, Aptos quietly brought its TVL back near all-time highs (+5% in the last 24 hrs)

Let me share the ONE thing that’s been sustaining Aptos TVL:

➡️Their $APT incentives.

Even though Aptos didn’t give users the much-needed second airdrop, the founders tried to make up for it by pumping every lending protocol using their massive $APT treasury.

Stable lending rates are sitting between 8-10% across the board, much better than the average 6% on EVM chains.

Users just lend stables and earn close to 10%. This is the REAL sauce behind their TVL staying strong.

The Pectra upgrade went live just a few hours ago, successfully implementing 11 EIPs.
Here are the two most important ones:

EIP-7691:
Boosts Layer 2 Efficiency
Doubles data availability for rollups, reducing congestion and cutting L2 transaction fees by ~30–40%. Swaps and transactions on L2s (like ARB, OP) become cheaper — potentially under a cent.

EIP-7251:
Raises Validator Cap
Increases the max balance per validator from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH. This allows large stakers to consolidate multiple validators into a single validator, reducing operational complexity.

Min staking stays at 32 ETH, keeping it accessible for solo stakers

Why it matters:
IMO This could be the most impactful change. Likely aligned with ETFs and institutional interest, it simplifies staking for large investors by allowing validator consolidation.

Result?
More ETH gets locked in staking, reducing cir. Supply and easing sell pressure. This supply constraint could be a bullish catalyst for ETH, especially with rising institutional demand.
