Thank you #Binance and thank you to everyone who supported my journey.
I came to Square with nothing but passion and the desire to help others. This award shows that no matter where you start, your voice can shine if you share with purpose and honesty. I’m very grateful for this platform and for this community 🧡🧡🧡
While the number of crypto exchanges that have closed or announced their closure this year is only a small handful, the “great cleanup” is affecting far more crypto projects in the broad sense.
RootData counts 70 to 95 crypto projects (including exchanges, but also DeFi, wallets, NFTs, etc.) that have announced closures, bankruptcy, or inactivity since the beginning of 2026.
And that’s precisely why, in my opinion, you should pay particular attention to projects that are weathering the bear markets, keep building, and remain operational despite market conditions. For me, this is often a sign of a long-term vision and stronger fundamentals.
You can find this kind of project across several sectors. In the yields sector, for example, on the $BNB Chain, I’m thinking of Lista, Unitas, or ASTER in the perpetuals ecosystem. On Sui, I often talk about $HAEDAL , a yield-generation protocol that, despite a security incident during the bear market, reimbursed users without issuing its token and kept developing its product.
Surviving is one thing. Continuing to build during this period is another. As always, do your own research before investing.
Now, the level I’m watching is $67,000. If the price manages to break through it without triggering a new daily decline—as had happened last June—I think it becomes very plausible to see it continue directly toward $70,000.
As I was saying already, in my opinion, the bearish impulse that led to $57,000 has already reversed, and the market has regained a bullish momentum.
If this rally isn’t yet the one that truly kick-starts the bull run, it could at least create a new upward push within the broader bearish trend.
In any case, at this stage, I remain very optimistic. I hope to see Bitcoin test $70,000 over the next few days. $BTC
Since the beginning of the month, 3 crypto exchanges have announced the end of their operations:
AscendEX_ on July 1. @mBitMEX on the 22nd. And BitMartExchange this morning.
These platforms respectively had 7, 11 and 9 years.
We’re talking about exchanges that went through two, sometimes three cycles. Ones that saw Mt. Gox, ICO mania, DeFi Summer, FTX, Terra, Celsius pass by. Ones that were profitable just a few months ago. And now they’re folding.
There are two readings that add up:
The period is tougher than what the price suggests (because it’s also “very quiet”, cf the last youtu.be/TBBS0kX0ztE video).
Then, regulatory complexity has become unworkable for mid-tier players. MiCA in Europe. Elsewhere, the other frameworks weigh on everything. Maintaining a centralized exchange today is becoming very expensive and a heavy burden of obligations
Result: an accelerating consolidation. The massive arrival of regulated giants and institutional players removes the table bread from those who were there before. The market doesn’t shrink—it just changes hands 🙌
$EUL , $QI et $DEXE : three cryptos that each recorded more than a 70% increase over the last 24 hours, while the major cryptocurrencies remain stagnant.
So, what explains this kind of movement?
You need to understand that events affecting the entire ecosystem generally impact major cryptocurrencies first, and their movements then end up pulling a large portion of the market along.
But there will always be exceptions.
Some tokens—especially those with lower market capitalization and liquidity—can completely decouple from the market for a while. Sometimes there is a catalyst specific to the project. Other times, the moves may seem much stranger: low liquidity, concentrated supply, excessive speculation, or possible manipulation.
The takeaway: never confuse relative performance with fundamental strength.
When a token is up +70% while the whole market is flat, the first question shouldn’t be “how high can it go?”, but rather:
“Why is it going up?”
Answering that question will help you truly understand the risk behind the pump.
But the question that really matters isn’t that one. It’s a question that concerns all of us, whether we want it to or not.
Who, today, combines a clear long-term vision, enormous financial resources, a rare ability to execute, and a genuine will to force the fate of the human species?
We’re not talking about commenting on the world. Not about making reports. Not about giving lessons on social media.
We’re talking about transforming it.
We’re facing existential risks: climate, energy, artificial intelligence, conflicts—and above all, the simple fact that civilization still depends on a single fragile planet that may not be as eternal as we think...
Continuing exactly as before isn’t prudence. It’s collective procrastination. It’s leaving our fate in the hands of our blindness and our fear of change.
So yes, I’d rather have a man who puts billions, his reputation, his mental health, and his lifespan on the line to try solutions that may be imperfect, rather than millions of people who are only excellent at explaining why you definitely shouldn’t try anything.
Those who criticize Elon Musk are often right about the details. They’re always wrong about what matters most: none of them would be willing to risk their fortune, their status, and their lives for an ambition that far exceeds their own existence.
Criticizing is easy. Building the future is much less so. So tell me: who else besides Elon Musk is truly trying to change the scale of what humanity can accomplish? $SPCX $TSLA

There will only ever be 21 million $BTC . But fiat, meanwhile, can keep being printed again and again.
So no matter the trade, no matter what you do: if your only goal is to keep chasing profit, profit, yet more profit, there’s a good chance you’ll spend your whole life pursuing it. There will always be another amount to earn.
The most important thing is also knowing when to do what—and when to step back.
It’s Friday. You’ve been looking at the charts all week. Now close them a bit and go get some fresh air. 😂
This Coke might cost just about $1—or less depending on where you are. Grab one, add a few ice cubes, and enjoy. 🥤
Just something like that. Do it.
The markets will still be there on Monday.
Come on, ciao! Have a great weekend everyone, and enjoy it. 🤝🏾
But why doesn’t anyone talk about this common factor between $DEXE and $BANK ?
The audit signal section highlights a risk that the total token supply can be increased, meaning new tokens can be created. This can affect the token price.
DEXE had followed a fairly similar pattern to the one BANK is currently showing: massive pumps over several days, followed by a brutal dump in a single move, interspersed with a very short pause. And BANK seems to have already started its correction with a structure that, so far, shows some similarities.
What you should especially take away is that the mint function adds an additional risk. Unlike a strong visible concentration around just a few wallets, no wallet necessarily needs to hold a massive quantity of tokens from the start: new tokens can be created and then introduced to the market, causing the price to collapse.
Theoretically, reduced available liquidity in the market, like the withdrawals from exchanges observed, could make it easier for an initial massive pump to happen, while a later creation of new tokens could sharply increase supply and intensify selling pressure.
Is this proof that this is what’s going to happen with BANK? No, not a “proof” in the literal sense. But technically, this is what I think. 😂
