Another reminder of why self-custody matters. AscendEX has stopped exchange operations, with users now limited to account access and withdrawal requests only. The exchange says withdrawals are being manually reviewed, meaning delays or additional verification are possible.
Interestingly, this comes shortly after ZachXBT flagged multiple reports of stuck withdrawals and noted that AscendEX's public wallets appeared to hold very limited balances of major assets like ETH, USDT, and SOL.
It's worth remembering that AscendEX (formerly BitMax) was once a top-10 crypto exchange and had raised $50M from major VC firms before its decline.
If you still have funds on AscendEX, it's a good time to check your account and submit a withdrawal request as soon as possible.

$POL DROPPED -91% FROM ITS LOCAL TOP: IS THIS THE NEXT HIGH RISK-HIGH REWARD HTF ACCUMULATION?
$POL Is Currently Trading Inside A Multi-Year Weekly Descending Channel And Has Reached A High-Timeframe Accumulation Zone Following A Brutal -91% Correction. The Last Time Price Tested Channel Support, It Delivered Strong Relief Rallies. Now #POL Is Once Again Sitting At The Same Macro Support Area. Current Technical Structure: ✅ Multi-Year Weekly Descending Channel Still Intact ✅ Price Testing Lower Channel Support For The Fourth Time ✅ High Risk Accumulation Zone Forming At HTF Demand ✅ Selling Momentum Continues To Weaken After A -91% Correction ✅ Bullish Confirmation Only Above $0.118 (Market Structure Shift) CryptoPatel Targets If This Structure Holds: $0.12 | $0.17 | $0.3 | $0.7 Why Expect 2x–9x From Here? The Current Positioning Offers One Of The Best Risk-Reward Opportunities Since POL Is Trading Near Multi-Year Channel Support Where Previous Reversals Started. If Buyers Successfully Defend This HTF Demand Zone And Price Reclaims $0.118, The Probability Of A Macro Trend Reversal Increases Significantly. The Longer POL Accumulates At These Discount Levels, The Stronger The Potential Expansion Phase Could Become. Disclaimer: This Is Technical Analysis, Not Financial Advice.

Everyone Ignored $LDO After A -94% Collapse. The Technical Recovery Potential From Here Exceeds 21X
$LDO Is Currently Trading Inside A High Risk-High Reward HTF Accumulation Zone After A ~94.20% Correction From Its Cycle High. Price Is Sitting Near Multi-Year Demand While The Weekly Structure Approaches A Critical Inflection Point. Technical Structure ✅ Previous Cycle High: ~$4.038 (Macro Liquidity High) ✅ Macro Correction: −94.20% Into Current Accumulation Range ✅ Multi-Year Descending Channel Still Defines HTF Trend ✅ Bearish Breakdown Followed By Retest & Rejection Of Channel Resistance ✅ Lower High Structure Remains Intact On Weekly Timeframe ✅ Price Holding Inside Major HTF Demand / Accumulation Zone ✅ Bullish Confirmation Only Above $0.68 (Weekly S/R Reclaim) ✅ Trend Reversal Confirmation Above $0.68 HTF Close ✅ Risk Invalidation: Sustained Weekly Acceptance Below Current Demand Zone ➡️ 2023-2024: Expansion Toward Cycle High Near $4.038 ➡️ 2024-2026: -94.20% Corrective Decline Into Macro Demand ➡️ High-Risk Accumulation Zone: $0.25-$0.16 ➡️ Current Phase: Late-Stage Accumulation Within Long-Term Downtrend Structure Shift Requirements 1️⃣ Weekly Close Above Descending Channel Resistance 2️⃣ Reclaim + Acceptance Above $0.68 (Major S/R Flip) 3️⃣ Break Weekly Lower High At $1.50 To Confirm HTF Trend Reversal Bull Cycle Targets (If Structure Shifts): $0.68 → $1.50 → $2.50 → $3.70 Invalidation: Failure To Hold The Current HTF Demand Zone And Continued Rejection Below The Descending Channel Would Keep The Macro Bearish Structure Intact. The Current Zone Represents A High-Risk, High-Reward Accumulation Opportunity. However, The Higher Timeframe Trend Remains Bearish Until Price Reclaims $0.68 And Confirms A Structural Shift. TA Only. Not Financial Advice. ALWAYS DYOR. #LDO #CryptoPatel @Lido

🇺🇸 Judge Torres Denies Kalshi Preliminary Injunction In New York
The Same Judge From SEC v. Ripple Just Ruled Against Kalshi In SDNY. 🔹 NY Gambling Laws Are Not Preempted By The Commodity Exchange Act 🔹 Kalshi Failed To Show Likelihood Of Success On The Merits 🔹 Filed July 7 In KalshiEX v. Williams
Keep The Context Clear: This Is A Preliminary Denial At The District Level, Not A Final Verdict. Appeal To The Second Circuit Looks Likely. It Deepens A Split Now Heading Toward The Supreme Court.
