What makes him complicated for crypto is that he's not entirely against it. Warsh invested in [firms] behind a spot Bitcoin ETF, and in Electric Capital, a crypto-focused venture firm. He has called Bitcoin a "policeman" that keeps central banks honest. But his policy preferences—tighter money, higher real interest rates, and a smaller Fed balance sheet—are exactly the conditions that pull capital out of risk assets and back into bonds.

Nothing is impossible for Chris and Frieda. It is almost magical how they nail it every single time. I love this event. It's like an amusement park for Bitcoiners. Everybody is focused on having maximalist fun. Chris and Frieda are the wizards behind the scenes making it all come together.

The Crypto Partner Program, announced Wednesday, gathers more than 85 companies across the blockchain, fintech, and traditional banking sectors, including Binance, Circle, Gemini, PayPal, Paxos, Ripple, BitGo, and Crypto.com.

Binance's lawsuit protests a subheading on the article that said, 'Weeks after Trump pardoned Binance's founder, the company dismantled [the] probe and suspended the investigators.'

USO does hold front-month WTI futures contracts and rolls them forward each month, selling the expiring contract and buying the next. When the futures curve is in contango, later-dated contracts cost more than near-term ones, so that the monthly roll is a guaranteed loss. You sell low, buy high, repeat.

On most modern blockchains, transaction data is publicly viewable in the mempool before it is sequenced, executed and confirmed in a block. This transparency creates avenues for sophisticated parties to engage in extractive practices known as Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). MEV exploits the block proposer's ability to reorder, include or omit transactions for financial gain.

MEV is especially notorious on Ethereum, where it continues to be extracted at a rate equivalent to 11% of block rewards. Data shows that nearly $300,000 was lost in sandwich attacks in September. This reveals that MEV is a recurring hidden fee, not a minor inefficiency, hitting large trades hardest in volatile markets.

MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, says he wants to provide financial education he lacked growing up. His CEO, Jeffrey Housenbold, expressed confidence in their ability to grow the business, boasting to the New York Times that they "know how to gamify things" and "make things viral" when targeting Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

When we set out, the plan was to replicate the Fortune 500-our flagship list that ranks the biggest U.S. companies by revenue. It quickly became clear that this would be impractical, since few big players in crypto are public companies, and, of those that are, few break out their crypto-specific revenue.
