Alpha of the Day
Peaq's $20 Million Power Play
Peaq just flexed big-time by raising a whopping $20 million through a CoinList Launch fundraising round. Think of it as their glow-up moment, complete with dollar signs and blockchain dreams. This cash injection is like rocket fuel for their mission to revolutionize the decentralized economy. With this much green, they're not just aiming for the moonâtheyâre setting their sights on the entire crypto galaxy. Get ready to see Peaq make some serious moves and turn heads in the blockchain world.
MN Tradingâs Bold Move: Altcoins Over BTC
The founder of MN Trading just pulled the ultimate crypto plot twist: ditching all BTC positions for altcoins. It's like trading in a classic car for a fleet of shiny new sports cars. But donât worry, Bitcoin fansâheâs planning a comeback. Later this year, heâll be back on the BTC bandwagon, scooping up more of that sweet, sweet digital gold. Until then, heâs cruising the altcoin highway, hoping for some major gains along the way.
Pink Drainer: The $75 Million Crypto Heist
Move over, Ocean's Elevenâthere's a new heist in town. Scam Sniffer revealed that Pink Drainer has swiped over $75 million from nearly 20,000 unsuspecting victims this past year. This crypto villain is like the Robin Hood of hacking, minus the giving-back part. If you're in the crypto game, keep your guard upâPink Drainer is out there, and they're not playing nice. Secure your assets and stay vigilant, because this saga of digital thievery is far from over.

sUSDâs Morning Rollercoaster
sUSD gave us all a little heart attack this morning by dropping to 0.925, only to bounce back to 0.956 like a crypto yo-yo. Itâs like that one friend who loves to keep you guessingâwill they show up on time, or are they stuck in traffic? Thankfully, sUSD found its way back, but itâs a reminder of how volatile the crypto market can be. Keep your eyes peeled, because in this world, anything can happen before your first cup of coffee.
Expiration Drama: BTC and ETH Options
Get ready for some high-stakes drama: BTC options worth $1.2 billion and ETH options worth $930 million are nearing expiration. It's like the season finale of a binge-worthy series, and everyoneâs on the edge of their seats. Whatâs next? Major market moves, wild swings, and maybe even a few plot twists. Whether youâre a hodler or a trader, this is the kind of suspense that keeps the crypto community buzzing.
FTX Digitalâs Claim Deadline Extension
FTX Digital is toying with the idea of extending the customer claims deadline to late July or early August. Itâs like extending the deadline for your final projectâmore time to get everything sorted, but also more time to stress. If youâve got skin in this game, keep an eye on the calendar and get your paperwork ready. Deadlines are looming, but hopefully, this extension will give everyone the breathing room they need.

pump.fun's 12,300 SOL Saga
pump.fun just revealed a plot twist worthy of a soap opera: their contract is secure, but former employees made off with about 12,300 SOL. Itâs like the office drama where someone raids the supply closet before quitting. The good news? The contractâs rock solid. The bad news? There's a hefty amount of SOL thatâs gone on a permanent vacation. Looks like pump.fun has some cleaning up to doâand maybe a few trust exercises at the next team-building retreat.
$73 Million Money Laundering Bust
Two individuals are facing the music after being indicted for a $73 million cryptocurrency money laundering scam. The U.S. District Court is dropping the hammer, and itâs a big one. This isnât just a slap on the wristâitâs a full-on courtroom drama. If you're in the crypto world, take note: the feds are watching, and they mean business. Crime might pay in the movies, but in real life, itâs jail time and hefty fines.
Bitcoin ETFâs $257 Million Windfall
Yesterday, the U.S. Bitcoin ETF saw a net inflow of $257 million. Itâs like the crypto equivalent of finding a golden ticket in your chocolate bar. Investors are piling in, and the excitement is palpable. This influx is a sign that faith in Bitcoin is as strong as ever, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. Buckle up, because this kind of momentum could send BTC to new heightsâand the ride is just getting started.
