JUST IN: Binance founder CZ- “I support all meme coins. I might even buy (or sell) one or two in the next few weeks to test a few new things. May the best memes win!”
CZ clarified he had no involvement in the recent sale of meme tokens sent to him or binance, explaining that Giggle Academy routinely converts most donated tokens into BNB at month-end to fund its free education initiative, rather than burning them.
Trading perpetual contracts with maximum leverage while keeping your core digital gold fully secure—that is exactly where decentralized exchanges are headed next.
The Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) project marks a major turning point for the industry, introducing an architecture that enables native, Bitcoin-backed perpetual trading liquidity for the very first time. Crucially, traders gain access to deep liquidity and high leverage without surrendering self-custody or compromising control over their assets.
This isn't just a theoretical concept. The Public Testnet is already live, and global industry leaders are actively launching integrations in sync with Aave v4—proving that this architecture is not just promising, but battle-tested and ready for scale.
The Takeaway: Babylon transforms Bitcoin from a passive store of value into an active, yield-generating, and collateralizable engine for decentralized credit and perpetual markets—all while preserving the core ethos of Bitcoin: "Not your keys, not your coins."
LIVE: The FOMC and two tech giants worth a combined $4.4T could decide whether markets rally or the AI selloff gets even worse.
The first major catalyst arrives at 2PM ET, when the Fed is widely expected to hold rates at 3.50%–3.75%.
With the decision largely priced in, attention will quickly shift to Kevin Warsh’s press conference 30 minutes later.
Markets will be listening for 3 things: -whether inflation remains too high -how divided Fed officials are and -whether rate cuts are moving closer or further away
A HAWKISH message would likely push the dollar and Treasury yields higher, putting pressure on stocks and crypto.
While a SOFTER message could trigger a broad relief rally.
Attention will then shift to Microsoft $MSFT and Meta $META , which both report after the closing bell.
Microsoft reports fiscal Q4 and full-year 2026 results, with Wall Street expecting roughly $87.6B in revenue and $4.24 in EPS.
But Azure growth, Copilot adoption and AI monetization will likely matter more than the headline numbers.
The biggest focus will be its AI spending, with fiscal 2026 capex expected to reach roughly $145B.
Meta reports shortly afterward, with Wall Street expecting $60.2B in revenue and $7.19 in EPS.
Investors will focus on advertising growth, profit margins and whether its $125B–$145B capex plan is still rising.
Strong cloud and advertising growth, combined with disciplined spending, could reignite the AI trade.
But another major capex increase could pressure both stocks, even if they beat earnings expectations.
Ahead of the reports, $MSFT is up ~1.1% in premarket trading near $393, while $META is almost flat near $593.
Meanwhile, $BTC is back above $64k.
US GDP and PCE inflation both arrive Thursday, giving markets another major test less than 24 hours later.
HUGE: BlackRock, Fidelity, Schwab, Goldman Sachs and Franklin Templeton, managing more than $30 trillion in assets, are now backing the crypto CLARITY Act.
