🤫🤫🤫This piece exposes a truth
The uncomfortable truth is: *Binance doesn't like people who buy BTC and hold tightly* 😏
No trading → no volume
No volume → no fees
And if there are no fees, then *why does the exchange need to support it?*
Not to mention they also have to *pay staking interest* to those “long-term investors,” just hearing it makes… the exchange tired.
Meanwhile, those:
* Trade futures
* Max leverage
* Long today, short tomorrow
* If they lose, they deposit again, lose again
👉 *Are the real VIP customers* 💸
The exchange doesn't need you to be smart.
The exchange needs you to be *greedy, impatient, and believe that this time you can win against the market*.
Holding BTC = you think you are investing.
Trading futures = the exchange knows exactly *where the money will flow*
😈
Hard to hear, huh?
Yeah. But *the exchange's wallet balance is increasing day by day*.

Mainnet launch integrates 50+ DeFi: Plasma's trust race happens not in the lab but at the settlement layer
When a chain can absorb billions of dollars in stablecoins on its first day and simultaneously integrate with 50+ (or even 100+) DeFi protocols, we should shift our focus from 'which technical white paper is prettier' to a more realistic place - how trust at the settlement layer is constructed on-site. The mainnet event of Plasma provides an observable sample: trust is now more about winning in the flow of funds and settlement paths, rather than relying solely on formal proofs or academic models.

Raoul Pal attempts to replay "1011": Top CEX forced to step in, followed by ongoing sell pressure le
Top CEX forced to step in, followed by ongoing sell pressure leading to market weakness
#CEX $CEX#Write2Earn
Real Vision co-founder and CEO Raoul Pal said in a podcast this week that Bitcoin’s fair value, per his global liquidity model, should be around $140,000. However, the “1011 event” (triggered by Trump’s tariff policy) caused crypto to underperform stocks and gold, he noted. Pal outlined the “1011 event” as follows: A major macro shock spurred mass liquidation of highly leveraged positions. At the peak of cascading selloffs, Binance’s API briefly went offline, blocking professional market makers from placing orders, providing liquidity, or hedging risks. A chain reaction amplified losses, forcing top centralized exchanges (CEXs) to use their balance sheets to absorb positions and prevent a full system collapse. As a result, Pal estimates CEXs passively absorbed roughly $10 billion in assets. The market’s subsequent long-term weakness stems from these CEXs algorithmically selling their inventory during U.S. stock market open hours to offload holdings, he explained. Pal expects the current wave of selling pressure to be mostly “digested” by the end of February. Once that pressure clears, he predicts Bitcoin will rebound quickly to hit $140,000. Additionally, he noted MicroStrategy’s debt risk is manageable—likely a correction for “Strategy”—as CEO Michael Saylor has strengthened the balance sheet via debt issuances and equity moves.

• $Binance API remained stable under extreme volatility.
• $Bybit only restricted trading at open interest limits.
• Sensitive question raised about $OKX matching trades at 1 USDT vs 5 USDT minimum.
Yi He's response was pure alpha strategy: She didn't argue facts, she hired their product manager! 🤯
👉 Strategy: Shift narrative from technical failure to internal organizational strength.
👉 Message: If their product is good, why are their people joining $Binance?

⚠️ BINANCE & OKX: TENSION BETWEEN TWO BIG CEX
Recently, the crypto community has been buzzing about the tension between Binance and OKX following public statements from OKX. The cause stems from significant market fluctuations, where OKX believes that the operational methods and risk management of some major exchanges have contributed to exacerbating the decline and causing losses for investors.
Although not always naming names, many statements are seen as directly targeting Binance, making the competitive relationship between the two largest exchanges in the market clearer than ever. Binance later also denied direct responsibility, claiming that the fluctuations stemmed from general market factors.
The incident highlights a reality: when the market is highly volatile, trust, transparency, and risk management of CEXs are becoming vital factors, not only for users but also for the reputation of the exchanges.

🚨 Altcoin Bloodbath! 😱💥
Altcoin market cap (excluding top 10) just collapsed from $300B to $163B — that’s a $133B wipeout in just 45 minutes! 😨
A massive 45% crash in total mcap — and guess what? This doesn’t look like panic selling at all…
💣 This smells like pure manipulation by CEXs or market makers — or maybe a major system failure linked to those risky cross-margin products.
😔 The saddest part? Once again, no accountability, no answers — just millions of traders left ruined by a so-called “error.”

BLUM/TON - 255% APR
I’m diving into the liquidity pools with the highest APR on DEXs, and today, this pool takes the top spot for APR on STON.fi, the largest #DEX on the $TON blockchain. So, why is that?
1. Farming
Currently, farming is active in this liquidity pool, offering rewards of $417/day, which contributes to this high APR. In addition to the pool’s base APR, liquidity providers (LPs) are also receiving extra rewards.
2. Airdrop
Blum recently conducted its airdrop, but what’s notable is that most users have kept their tokens in vesting, claiming them gradually. This creates stable volumes in the BLUM/TON pair, resulting in a high APR.
3. Additional Factors
As far as I know, the Blum team didn’t allow users to claim tokens on centralized exchanges (#Cex ); only on-chain claims were available. If this is true, 100% of the #Blum volumes from the airdrop are processed through DEXs, with most happening on SТОNfi, which further drives the high APR.

Binance set the standard — every #Cex & #DEX (even HyperLiquid) copied their trading UI.
And you think they *can’t* ship the same on $ASTER ? 😂 The mental gymnastics is wild.
The real FUD isn’t UI updates… it’s the token unlocks from that massive airdrop campaign. That’s the only thing worth watching.

Post 1: One Big Reason Why Projects Don’t Get Listed on Tier 1 CEXs
Even if a project raised funds, has a working product, and a strong team—
…it can still get rejected by a Tier 1 exchange.
Why?
Because one of the first things exchanges look at is daily trading volume if we talk about listing from the secondary market
Here’s what that means in real numbers:
✅ Some exchanges expect 100K USDT per exchange
✅ Others want to see 1M to 15M+ USDT total volume
And here’s the part no one tells you:
❌ Not all exchanges count
You can be listed on smaller CEXs… but if Tier 1 exchanges don’t recognize their volume—it’s like it doesn’t exist
We’ve seen projects spend $100K+ on listings… only to realize none of that volume helped them move to Tier 1
If you want to avoid that trap and choose the right exchanges from the start:
👉 Drop a “+” or DM me and I’ll send you the list of exchanges whose volume actually counts

CEX vs DEX 101: Which Crypto Exchange Is Right for You?
In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, how and where you trade matters. Two of the most common types of platforms are Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) and Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) — but what’s the real difference? And which one is best for you?
Let’s break it down.
🏦 What is a CEX (Centralized Exchange)?
A Centralized Exchange is like a traditional financial institution, but for crypto. You sign up, deposit your funds, and the exchange handles the rest. Popular CEXs include Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.
✅ Pros of CEX:
User-friendly interfaceHigh liquidity – easier to buy/sell quicklyCustomer support for issuesOften supports fiat-to-crypto conversions
❌ Cons of CEX:
Custodial – the exchange holds your assetsRisk of hacks or shutdownsOften requires KYC (Know Your Customer) verification
🌐 What is a DEX (Decentralized Exchange)?
A Decentralized Exchange allows you to trade crypto directly from your wallet. There’s no middleman. Examples include Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and dYdX.
✅ Pros of DEX:
You control your funds (non-custodial)Anonymous trading – no KYCSupports a wider range of tokens and altcoinsOperates on smart contracts – trustless and open
❌ Cons of DEX:
May have low liquidity for small tokensNot beginner-friendlyNo centralized support if something goes wrong
🔍 So, Which One Should You Use?
| You want... | Go with... |
| -------------------------- | ---------- |
| Simplicity & fast support | CEX |
| Full control & privacy | DEX |
| High trading volume | CEX |
| Access to new, rare tokens | DEX |
⚠️ Final Thoughts
CEXs and DEXs both have their place in the crypto ecosystem. If you're new, a CEX might be a good place to start. But if you're all about decentralization and self-custody, dive into the DEX world. The key is to educate yourself and never invest blindly.

Over the past three years, more than $5 billion has been stolen from CEXs and bridges !
Out of that, $3.3 billion came from CEXs and $2 billion from bridges.
To put it simply, the root cause of these hacks is centralization. For bridges, this usually involves the collateral that backs wrapped tokens💸. Since early 2023, bridges with wrapped tokens have lost popularity, which is why the number of hacks has also decreased.
So what makes DEXs secure, and what can replace bridges🤔?
Take DEX STON.fi as an example. All trades on it are executed through smart contracts on the blockchain. If the contract is written correctly, it can’t be hacked — unless someone hacks the $TON blockchain itself.
STON.fi is also actively developing cross-chain swaps without bridges or wrapped tokens. Instead, it uses HTLC and RFQ👇.
◾HTLC ensures atomic swaps — either both users receive tokens or neither does.
◾RFQ eliminates slippage by locking in the trade price in advance.
This setup removes all centralized elements from the system. All swaps happen peer-to-peer through smart contracts, giving users strong security and full control📈.

CEX vs DEX 101 – What’s the Difference?
There are two main types of crypto exchanges: CEX (Centralized Exchange) and DEX (Decentralized Exchange).
A CEX, like Binance or Coinbase, is run by a company. You create an account, deposit money, and trade easily. It’s user-friendly but your funds are controlled by the exchange.
A DEX, like Uniswap or PancakeSwap, lets you trade directly from your crypto wallet. You keep full control of your assets. It’s more private and secure, but a bit harder to use.
👉 CEX = easy and fast
👉 DEX = more control and privacy
Choose what works best for you!
