You gotta be kidding me, president $trump
QnA on the @Lighter_xyz Q3 call
My question: "With all of Lighters the CFTC pre-engagement effort, do you expect the DCM/DCO license to come earlier than the 180-day time window that the CFTC has to review?"
@vnovakovski: "we think a lot of the [pre-engagement] will make the process a lot smoother...
The CFTC has a lot of things on their plate so dont have exact timeline...
but its a fast moving team over there so we expect the process to be smooth "
"Spot, perps and options... that are all margined together"

I predict that all the $ZEC bulls will be adding .zec to their Twitter name
just as all the ETH bulls did with $ETH
You should probably reserve your Zec name before someone else snags it

This is the strategy you use when you can’t find the fraud yourself
BREAKING: President Trump reveals his new anti-fraud program set up to reward people who expose fraud with a 1% commission on the money uncovered.
"If you turn somebody in and you, let's say report and you find $1 billion, we are giving a commission to that person of 1%."
AI influencers with memecoins seem like an obvious pairing
We already had something like it in the ‘24 AI token bubble
Issuing a memecoin to monetize the vitality of AI generated content on social media feels obvious
Anything interesting happening here?
First AI generated song ive heard that’s actually a banger
I came to realize people liked the french #slopcore without having the lyrics 😅 sorry!
So here is a version with english subtitles!

Offshore-style crypto leverage could be coming to U.S. spot exchanges.
“You can trade on margin. You can say that I will take these assets in my wallet. Let's say you've got ETH and SOL and whatever else. You pledge those as collateral, and you can go trade.”
“It allows you to trade and effectively leverage the capital of your assets instead of just having these sit idle in your wallet.”
“The margin requirements would be set by the exchange in consultation with the CFTC.”

We are turning this moment into a movement.
And everyone with @ZcashNames is part of it.
Every name claimed makes privacy easier to use.
Every name shared introduces more people to private payments.
The more people join, the more useful the network becomes, and the more normal it becomes to send and receive money privately.
It's a peaceful protest against surveillance and seizure, powered by people choosing privacy.
No permission needed. Just more of us using it.
