also good to note that stablecoin mc probably lost its strength as a bull cycle indicator since an increasing number people hold them for non trading collateral reasons

sidelined capital not so sidelined anymore

not surprising that stablecoins have been expanding while market just crumbles

Spending long hours helping freeze funds for the Bybit hack has been eye opening.

This industry is unbelievably cooked when it comes to exploits/hacks and sadly idk if the industry is going to fix this itself unless the government forcibly passes regulations that hurt our entire industry.

Several “decentralized” protocols have recently had nearly 100% of their monthly volume/fees derived from DPRK and refuse to take any accountability.

Centralized exchanges end up being worse as when illicit funds flow through them a few take multiple hours to respond when it only takes minutes to launder.

KYT is completely flawed and easily evadable

KYC is just a honeypot for regular users bc of breaches/insiders and is useless in majority of cases due to purchased accounts.

DPRK laundering $1.4B from the recent hack has only exposed how broken it is.

Introducing Staking Tiers

Staking tiers will be determined by the amount of HYPE staked. The initial benefit of staking tiers is reduced trading fees. These updates are expected to go live on or after April 30 to give users time to adjust.

As part of this update, the overall fee system will be reworked. The new fee system will have the following properties:
1. Even without staking discounts, perp and spot fees are lower than CEXs for most users.
2. Fee sensitive users can stake HYPE to benefit from even lower fees than the existing system.
3. Protocol revenue is projected to increase.
4. HYPE will have more utility for users.

What else is changing:
+ Separate fee schedules for perps vs spot
+ Spot volume counts double toward your fee tier

What is not changing:
+ Maker rebates based on % of total maker volume
+ Perps and spot volume combined to determine your fee tier

The Federal Reserve has announced its interest rate decision, setting the upper bound at 4.50%, in line with the expected 4.50% and unchanged from the previous 4.50%.

The dot plot indicates an expected 50 basis point rate cut in 2025. Additionally, starting in April, the Fed will slow the pace of balance sheet reduction, lowering the monthly Treasury redemption cap from $25 billion to $5 billion while maintaining the cap for agency debt and MBS at $35 billion. — link
