Alpha of the Day

CZ vs. Deepfake Dilemmas

In a world where deepfake videos are becoming as common as memes, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) took to social media to warn the public about fake videos of him doing the rounds. So, if you see CZ in a video promising you millions or doing the cha-cha, maybe think twice before believing it. With AI-generated content now in the mix, it’s a reminder that even crypto's biggest names aren't safe from digital doppelgängers. Stay sharp, or you might get fake-CZ'd!

Ripple’s Million-Dollar XRP Gift

In what might be one of the juiciest political donations of the year, a FOX reporter spilled the tea that Ripple’s founder donated a cool $1 million in XRP to the Harris Political Action Committee. I mean, what says “I support you” more than gifting a pile of crypto? Forget boring checks and cash donations—crypto is clearly the new political currency. Let’s just hope this donation doesn’t ripple through with too much volatility.

Arkham’s Crypto Exchange: Coming Soon

Arkham Intelligence is gearing up to launch its crypto derivatives exchange next month, and the buzz is already starting. Picture a crypto trading hub where you can speculate on the future of your favorite coins with extra layers of complexity—because we all know crypto needs more chaos, right? With this new exchange, Arkham is stepping up the game, just as the market is stepping up its volatility. So, buckle up, traders, it’s going to get wild!

SEC and the Endless Ethereum ETF Wait

In true SEC fashion, the decision on spot Ethereum ETF options has been delayed...again. It’s like waiting for your friend to pick a restaurant while you're already starving. Investors have been on the edge of their seats for what feels like forever, and now the SEC hits them with another “wait and see.” We’re just wondering when this never-ending saga will finally hit “approved” and not “to be continued.” Until then, hold tight, Ethereum fans!

Trump’s Town Hall Spotlight in Georgia

Mark your calendars, folks! Trump has agreed to participate in Fox News’ “town hall meeting” in Georgia on October 16. You know this is going to be a popcorn-worthy event, especially with Trump back in the spotlight, ready to stir the political pot. Whether you're tuning in for the policy discussions or just the entertainment value, this is sure to be a spectacle. Grab your snacks, it's bound to be one of those town hall meetings.

Either way, Grayscale’s choices have the power to shake up the market, so keep an eye on their cart—it could mean big moves.

Angel Drainer Strikes Again

In the latest phishing horror story, Slow Mist Cosine pointed the finger at Angel Drainer for a sneaky attack that siphoned off 15,079 fwDETH. That’s right, today’s crypto hack was brought to you by the villainously named “Angel Drainer,” who clearly doesn't live up to the angel part. If anything, they're the devil of DeFi, draining wallets with precision. So, remember to double-check those sketchy links—or you might be their next victim.
