How Eric Trump Became an Ally of One of China’s Biggest Crypto Companies
My latest for @BW. Hardware giant Bitmain has been dogged for years by questions about the security of its mining rigs, but that hasn’t stopped it from seeking a foothold in the US.

Has anyone who follows me or with fleeting visibility of my tweets ever experienced having their stablecoins frozen? If so, I wish to speak.
The crypto industry watched with a grim foreboding as its landmark bill detonated on the Senate floor. Blame first fell on Democrats, none of whom voted to advance it. But some of the industry’s own supporters pointed elsewhere: at Trump

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has touted the prospect that stablecoin companies could emerge as trillion-dollar buyers of US government debt. But the industry’s growth is stalling out just when the market could most use the support.

A pretty stark depiction here of why Bitcoin believers can’t afford not to “HODL”
A huge share of Bitcoin’s returns hinge on just a handful of blockbuster trading days each year. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
Much has been said about Hyperliquid in recent months. Far less has been written about @tradexyz, the dominant player among those listing markets for everything from oil to pre-IPO perps on the offshore exchange.
Here, we take a detailed look at the business -- run largely by anons -- and the impact its 24/7, highly leveraged contracts are having on established markets. In less than a year, they've totted up $500 billion in cumulative volume.
More interesting though is the potential for these perps to serve as a powerful new source of price discovery when markets are closed or ahead of an IPO.
Be sure to check out the excellent graphics that shine a light on that promise, courtesy of @spepechen.
Truly a team effort with @MuyaoShen, @sidcoins, @antoniabmassa, @yongchang_chin and editors @lagerkranser/@_SidVerma.
