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 🧡🧡🧡
This morning, I was walking through the streets of Lomé to get my breakfast, while waiting to set off for the celebration of Binance’s 9th anniversary here, and I realized something that I’d like to share with you.
Having grown up in West Africa, I feel like we tend to underestimate the importance of simply traveling to discover the world. It’s not necessarily a very widespread culture around us.
But through my travels, especially for crypto events, I’ve discovered that traveling is probably one of the best rewards you can give yourself as a young person, a hard worker, or simply someone who puts in a lot of effort every day.
Lomé, for example, is barely two hours from Cotonou. Yet I had only come here once before… and that was still for crypto. 😂
This morning, I left our apartment, walked around the streets, discovered a new landscape, a new environment, and simply observed another side of society. Honestly, it feels really good.
So, if you have the opportunity, take some time off now and then and go out. Even if it’s just to explore a nearby city. You don’t necessarily need to go to the other side of the world.
Don’t underestimate what changing your surroundings and discovering new places can bring you.
See you shortly for updates on the celebration! 💛🎉
Starting on August 1, $TRUMP Media plans to launch the Truth API, a service that will give banks, hedge funds, and high-frequency trading firms the fastest access to Donald Trump’s posts and the most influential accounts on Truth Social. The goal is to receive these posts in a matter of milliseconds, well before a standard notification.
In other words, even if you follow Donald Trump’s posts live on Truth Social, users of this API will get the information before you.
That means that if you were hoping to react to Trump’s announcements to speculate on the markets, you’d arrive after the institutional players.
This is creating a new gap between retail investors and professionals who have infrastructure capable of exploiting this kind of information feed with extremely low latency.
It’s worth noting that: Donald Trump’s posts regularly move markets, whether it’s stocks, currencies, or commodities. Trump Media also plans to monetize this reality with this new offer aimed at financial actors. It’s basically “INSIDER TRADING” 😂
For those who don’t know yet, Truth Social is Donald Trump’s social network. That’s where he primarily posts his messages, which are then widely shared on X by news accounts and influencers.
Well guys, tonight I’m in front of the France 🇫🇷 vs Spain 🇪🇸 match. ⚽️
Neither of the two countries has a fan token on the blockchain yet, but Paris Saint-Germain, one of the biggest French clubs, does have one, the $PSG . And several of its players are currently on the pitch.
I bet prediction markets and football-related volumes are starting to heat up.
I discovered Binance in early 2021 through someone I used to buy BNB Chain tokens from. Out of curiosity!
Binance Academy has really amazed me. You can feel when education is built with passion.
When the Binance Campus Ambassador program was announce in our region, I didn’t hesitate for a second to join the journey.
But one of the moments that has stayed with me the most was joining the @Binance Angels program.
It was no longer just about learning crypto. It became an opportunity to help democratize it alongside a team whose work ethic, authenticity, innovation, and relentless building mindset I deeply admire.
Over the years, Binance has been far more than an exchange to me. It has been a school, a community, and an incredible place to grow.
Today, as Binance celebrates its 9th anniversary, I want to wish a very happy birthday to the entire @binance team, all Binancians, Binance Angels , Campus Ambassadors, creators, community leaders, and everyone who contributes every day to advancing the vision of a more open financial system and freedom of money.
$HAEDAL continue developing the ecosystem around PropAMM. 🦦 I had already announced the launch of Haedal PropAMM, an approach that aims to improve capital efficiency and generate more dynamic on-chain yields. This time, Haedal takes a new step by integrating PropAMM into the Cetus Aggregator router. Specifically, this means that users going through Cetus can now be routed to PropAMM liquidity when that is the most efficient option. For Haedal, this is an opportunity to capture more trading volume and increase returns for liquidity providers. For Cetus, this integration enriches its aggregator with a new liquidity source, which may enable better execution prices depending on the trades. In the end, it’s a win-win integration: more flow for Haedal, better routing efficiency for Cetus, and potentially a better experience for users.
I appreciate this kind of development because it shows that a protocol’s adoption doesn’t rely solely on its launch, but also on its ability to gradually integrate with other building blocks of the Sui ecosystem.
Tensions between the United States and Iran continue to influence the markets.
Oil ($CL ) reacted strongly, rising by more than 7% over the past week and still trading at elevated levels after the latest escalations.
Bitcoin ($BTC ), for its part, has rebounded from around $64,000 to $63,000, but the reaction remains relatively limited compared with commodities.
The ceasefire now appears to be in jeopardy, and discussions about a peace agreement could still take time. Even so, I get the impression that the market has already largely priced in this geopolitical risk.
In other words, headlines related to the conflict are likely to have a marginal impact that is increasingly smaller on Bitcoin.
My preferred scenario, therefore, is a period of consolidation over the next few days, before a possible gradual resumption of the uptrend if the macroeconomic backdrop does not deteriorate further.
Tomorrow, Binance will celebrate its 9th anniversary.
Almost a decade already that the team has been building this ecosystem.
For many of us, in sub-Saharan Africa, Binance has been the gateway to crypto. Thanks to this platform, many enthusiasts, content creators, and community leaders in our region have discovered, learned, and grown within this ecosystem.
With a great deal of gratitude, I would like to wish Binance a happy anniversary, to all the teams that build every day, to the community, as well as to all the leaders who help move forward this vision of a more open finance and freedom of money.
Since the start of this correction, each downward impulse has played out almost in one go. The few rebounds were quickly erased by a new sell-off acceleration.
This time, the structure is different.
After a first wave of decline, the market rebounded, then corrected again, and only afterward resumed its upward move. In other words, selling pressure can no longer maintain the same pace.
In my opinion, this is a sign of exhaustion.
On top of that, we’re already on the third downward impulse. Historically, moves that run counter to the main trend rarely go beyond this point. (From my experience)
Nothing rules out one last drop. But if it were to happen, I think it would have much less ability to set new lower lows.
So my preferred scenario remains a recovery phase, or even a gradual resumption of the uptrend over the coming days or weeks.
Today I’m taking part in a workshop led by a friend on the theme: “How to generate a steady income with memecoins.”
Many interesting topics were covered: the lifecycle of a memecoin, the different strategies used by traders, as well as a participant’s testimony (told by the host).
His story particularly struck me.
He went from $5,000 to nearly $36,000 thanks to memecoins… without ever taking profits.
Then, one evening, he thinks he has found “the opportunity.” He invests almost everything in a new token.
It was a scam.
In a matter of moments, his wallet goes from about $36,000 to $2,000.
He said he tried to contact his mentor, but the mentor was already asleep at the time the events happened.
Here’s my advice for you:
Memecoins are a zero-sum game. Most of them have no real fundamental utility. The gain from one is very often another person’s direct loss.
Unlike projects that create an infrastructure or a product, most memecoins don’t create value. They simply redistribute liquidity among participants, depending on their ability to read the market, manage their risk… and sometimes depending on their luck.
If you decide to take part, treat it as a risk-management game—not as a conviction investment.
It’s the biggest distortion of meaning of the decade.
Bitcoin wasn’t created so that traders could get rich. It was created in 2008, in the middle of a financial crisis, by someone who had understood one thing: when you hand your money over to a bank, you don’t really own it anymore. You place your trust in it.
And trust can be betrayed.
Look around you. Accounts frozen overnight. Currencies that lose half their value because of political decisions. People who work their whole lives just to see their savings melt away.
Blockchain offers something else: a system where the rules are written into the code, visible to everyone, and that no one can secretly change.
It’s not perfect. It’s young, volatile, and sometimes used by scammers.
But the idea behind it—regaining control of what we own—is one of the most important in our time.
Speculation is just noise. The signal is sovereignty.
Do you trust a bank more, or a piece of code you can verify? __
I came across this text of @_Loup and decided to share it with you. What do you think?
Since the beginning of this bearish phase, each decline segment has reached prices significantly lower than the previous low.
The first brought Bitcoin from its ATH around $120,000 down to $107,000, breaking well below the prior local low.
The second extended its low to $60,000—again with a new marked low ($80,000 to $60,000).
However, the third bearish segment is very different. After a local low around $60,000, the market only fell to roughly $57,700 before bouncing.
In my view, this reflects a gradual weakening of selling pressure. Sellers can still push the price lower, but they’re no longer able to set lows as deep as before.
That’s why I think we’re probably seeing the last bearish segment of this correction. The scenario I favor now is a period of consolidation, followed by a gradual resumption of the bull market if this structure continues to confirm itself over the next few days.
Escalation USA-Iran over the last 48 hours, geostrategic analysis and impact on crypto markets:
These past two days have seen the sudden collapse of the fragile ceasefire reached in June between Washington and Tehran. In response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. forces carried out large-scale strikes: more than 170 targets in total, according to CENTCOM, with the explicit aim of degrading Tehran’s ability to threaten navigation through the strait. Iran retaliated asymmetrically with missiles and drones against U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, while activating its air defenses and claiming limited successes. Donald Trump has publicly declared the ceasefire “over,” while leaving the door slightly open to negotiations. Maritime traffic through Hormuz has dropped sharply, sending oil prices soaring.
Geostrategically, Tehran, which is militarily inferior, offsets this by threatening to close or disrupt the world’s energy chokepoint (20–30% of global oil). Under Trump, Washington continues a strategy of maximum force projection to secure flows, reassure Gulf allies and Israel, and impose high costs on the Iranian regime.
Multipolarity is accelerating: China, Russia.
For the Gulf monarchies, it’s a dilemma: tacit support for the U.S. against Shiite Iran, but terror at a war that would destabilize their own oil-based economies.
In the short term, diplomatic de-escalation (via Oman or Qatar) remains possible, but without a durable agreement on Hormuz and the nuclear issue, the risk of attrition war or a major incident persists.
For crypto, short-term volatility with a defensive bias, but a structural bullish narrative over the long run if macro uncertainties persist. The situation is evolving hour by hour—let’s stay vigilant. What do you think about strategies for the rest of the week? $BTC $CL
