Many of us take payment systems for granted, but 80% of people in some regions still don’t have access to these services.

Crypto is stepping in to solve problems that often go unnoticed.

Yesterday wasn’t just another red day.
It was one of the most brutal bloodbaths in crypto history.
Over $19.2 billion was liquidated.
Nearly $800 billion in value evaporated in hours.
Altcoins didn’t just drop — they imploded.
Many were down 50%+ in a single session.
Some, like IOTX on Binance, even hit zero for a moment.
So what the hell just happened?
Let’s break it down without the noise.
Step 1: The Setup — A Market Ready to Explode
The crash didn’t come out of nowhere. It was built slowly, one overleveraged trade at a time.
By early October 2025, the market was stretched to its breaking point:
High Leverage Everywhere: Traders went all-in on longs, convinced the next leg up was near.Open Interest at Records: The amount of borrowed money in the system was at dangerous highs.Liquidity Thinned Out: With over 50 million tokens now live (expected to hit 100M soon), liquidity was paper-thin.Memecoins Everywhere: Exchanges kept listing low-quality coins for quick fees — fueling casino-style speculation.
It was a ticking time bomb.
Then came the external spark — Trump’s new tariffs.
Traditional markets reacted first. Bitcoin and Ethereum followed.
Altcoins, already weak, collapsed instantly.
That’s when the music stopped.
Step 2: The Trigger — Cascading Liquidations
Crypto runs on leverage.
When prices drop, exchanges auto-liquidate traders’ positions to protect loans.
It’s not emotional. It’s mechanical.
When Bitcoin broke key support levels, a chain reaction began:
Cross-Margin Accounts Got Nuked: Traders holding multiple assets saw everything sold off at once.Forced Selling Spiraled: As collateral dumped, prices fell even harder.Domino Effect Took Over: One liquidation triggered another, then another.
Within minutes, over $550 million in futures positions were gone.
The cascade became unstoppable — wiping out over $20 billion in liquidations total.
This is what a liquidation waterfall looks like.
You don’t even get to sell — the market sells for you.
Step 3: The Aftermath — Pain, Panic, and the Clean Slate
The crash erased months of gains, but it also cleared the leverage buildup that had been suffocating the market.
It’s brutal, but necessary.
When overconfident longs get wiped, the market resets for its next move.
If history’s any guide, this kind of flush isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of something bigger.
The COVID crash in 2020 was followed by the 2021 altseason.The Luna and FTX collapses in 2022 marked the $15,400 bottom before Bitcoin ran 8x.
Same setup. Different year.
This wasn’t the end of the bull.
It was the purge before the next leg.
Final Take
If you got wrecked yesterday, don’t quit.
Everyone who’s made real money in crypto has been through one of these.
The flush hurts, but it clears the noise.
The leverage is gone. The weak hands are out.
All that’s left now is time — and opportunity.
Because if history repeats, this crash might have just started the next parabolic leg.

Haliey Welch, famously known as "Hawk Tuah Girl," became an internet sensation in mid-2024 thanks to her viral video offering bold life advice. However, her rise to fame took a dark turn as she orchestrated one of the most notorious scams in cryptocurrency history with her memecoin, HAWK.

The Launch of HAWK
In December 2024, Welch capitalized on her massive following by launching HAWK on the Solana blockchain. Fans trusted her vision, and the hype surrounding the token spread like wildfire. Within days, HAWK achieved a staggering market cap of nearly $500 million, creating dreams of wealth for early investors.
The Collapse
The fairy tale ended abruptly. By mid-December, HAWK lost 90% of its value, leaving thousands of investors financially ruined. It quickly became evident that HAWK was a classic pump-and-dump scheme designed to enrich its creators at the expense of its investors.
The Aftermath
The fallout was devastating:
Investors accused the $HAWK team of selling unregistered securities.Haliey Welch faced public backlash for using her influence to promote the token.A class-action lawsuit was filed against the development team.
While Welch herself was not named in the lawsuit, her role in heavily promoting $HAWK drew harsh criticism. Many argued that her influence directly fueled the token’s initial success and the ensuing chaos.
To justify her actions, Welch participated in a Twitter Space. However, the session turned disastrous when coffeebreak_YT presented undeniable evidence showing HAWK team members withdrawing funds in plain sight. Welch abruptly ended the stream, citing tiredness, further damaging her credibility.
Another Blow

Welch later tweeted her intention to compensate affected investors, but this announcement only caused another big price drop for HAWK, further sealing its fate.
A Textbook Rug-Pull
The HAWK scam followed the classic rug-pull strategy:
1. Launch a token with massive hype.
2. Watch prices soar as fans buy in.
3. Sell team holdings at the peak.
4. Leave investors holding worthless tokens.
Key Takeaways
Haliey Welch’s $HAWK debacle is a cautionary tale for the crypto world:

As for whether Binance will list the MONKY coin, there isn't a definitive answer yet. Although Binance is supporting the MONKY airdrop for FLOKI and APE holders ¹, the exchange hasn't confirmed the listing of the token.
However, there are some positive developments that might indicate a potential listing. Binance has included MONKY in its Alpha Projects program, which is a promising sign ². Additionally, DWF Labs, a prominent crypto investment firm, has acquired 100 billion MONKY tokens, valued at approximately $1.75 million ².
While these developments are encouraging, it's essential to note that Binance's listing review process is rigorous, and MONKY must meet the exchange's standards before being listed ³. #RideTheKaiaWave @Kaia Chain $KAIA

2. **Verification Chaos:** **Twitter Blue** has made blue ticks available for a fee, increasing accessibility but also leading to a spike in impersonations and credibility issues.

3. **Content Moderation:** Musk's push for free speech has relaxed content moderation. While this fosters open dialogue, concerns over rising misinformation persist.

4. **API Overhaul:** Free API access is a thing of the past, targeting bot activity but affecting developers and third-party apps.

5. **Advertiser Retreat:** Major advertisers are pulling back, worried about the platform’s new direction and content policies.

当美国总统拜登宣布退出竞选之后，包括特朗普在内的很多人都认为，哈里斯最多只能算拜登的平替，似乎懂王再次入主白宫只是时间问题。然而懂王万万没想到，共和党里出了几个“浓眉大眼”的，胳膊肘往外拐，调炮往里轰，几十名共和党人竟然公开支持哈里斯。共和党人在给特朗普上眼药的同时，也让本次美国大选增添了不确定因素。

据美联社报道，随着数十名知名共和党人转向公开支持副总统哈里斯，美国前总统特朗普遭受最新打击。要说这些共和党人也会划重点，把反对特朗普的枪口直接指向了MAGA，也就是特朗普引以为傲的竞选口号:让美国再次伟大。   哈里斯的竞选团队8月4日发起了一项名为“共和党人支持哈里斯”的活动，称该活动已经获得了近30名共和党温和派的公开支持。

根据哈里斯团队公布的名单可以看到，带头造反的很多是特朗普的“自己人”，其中包括特朗普前白宫新闻秘书斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆，以及曾就国家安全问题为迈克·彭斯提供建议的奥利维亚·特洛耶，他们拒绝“特朗普及其2025年议程带来的混乱、分裂和暴力”。在美国的政治叙事里，说选民爱听的，把大饼画圆了，占领道德制高点，都是必备技能，攻击“老领导”也是驾轻就熟。

格里沙姆在一份声明中写道：“我可能不会在所有事情上都同意副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的观点，但我知道她会为我们的自由而战，保护我们的民主，并在世界舞台上展示美国的荣誉和尊严。”   不愧是干过新闻秘书的，仅三两句话，忧国忧民的情怀就跃然纸上，好像不反对特朗普，美国就会国将不国。不仅如此，她还鼓励其他为特朗普这位“暴君”工作的政府官员站出来，与哈利斯一起确保美国的民主。

而格里沙姆不是一个人在战斗。前共和党国会议员亚当·金辛格也支持哈里斯。他说，他从未想过他会支持民主党人当总统，“但我知道哈里斯副总统将捍卫我们的民主，并确保特朗普不会重返白宫”。
也就是说，金辛格宁可选一个本不想选的人当总统，也不愿意特朗普当选，这对特朗普来说，简直是杀人诛心啊！哈里斯的竞选团队介绍说，该计划将于本周在亚利桑那州、北卡罗来纳州和宾夕法尼亚州举行的活动中启动。支持哈里斯的共和党人也将在下周与哈里斯和她即将任命的竞选搭档一起参加集会。 
 他们认为，让共和党人投票给哈里斯的最好方法，是直接听取另一位做出同样选择的共和党人的意见。哈里斯团队的算盘打得越来越精。前弗吉尼亚州共和党众议员丹佛·里格尔曼积极响应。他在上周日公开表态支持哈里斯，他警告称，让前总统特朗普重返白宫，将危及美国公民，并造成全球混乱。
里格尔曼对特朗普的反感来自于3年前。他指出了支持上述倡议的原因是2021年1月6日（简称“J6”）发生的，特朗普的支持者袭击美国国会大厦事件。他解释说曾在两次独立的竞选中都坚定支持特朗普，但在那年的1月6日与这位前总统“决裂”。

这是妥妥的粉转黑，从中不难看出，当初的国会山勤王，有多么不得人心。   里格尔曼补充说，“我看过J6的数据。特朗普和他的死忠是危险的。推动J6的人也会推动‘2025计划’”，“理智应该是底线，罪犯应该被排除在外”。里格尔曼戳了懂王的伤疤，给民主党带路。
对此，哈里斯的全国共和党外联主任奥斯汀·韦瑟福德表示，许多共和党人认为，特朗普的“让美国再次伟大（MAGA）极端主义”是有害的，“他们不再相信特朗普代表他们的价值观”，并将在11月的大选中投票反对他。

自哈里斯竞选团队发起“共和党支持哈里斯”（Republicans for Harris）倡议以来，得到了超过25位知名共和党人的支持，其中包括前国防部长查克·哈格尔、前交通部长雷·拉胡德以及其他共和党议员和州长。这些共和党人不但自己要造特朗普的反，还要争当宣讲员，向他们的朋友和家人讲述投票给副总统哈里斯的重要性。

这对民主党和哈里斯来说，比中了刮刮乐还要惊喜。哈里斯的竞选团队称，这是“竞选中的竞选”。挖共和党墙角，毁特朗普竞选根基，哈里斯的竞选团队打出了小连招。策反共和党人只是哈里斯竞选活动正在蓬勃发展的最新迹象。哥伦比亚广播公司发布的最新民意调查显示，哈里斯在全国范围内领先特朗普1个百分点，而在拜登总统退出选举时，他落后特朗普5个百分点。

民主党人、年轻选民和黑人选民的参与度和投票意愿提高，以及女性选民坚定地认为哈里斯会更有利于她们的利益。目前为止，各路媒体还在报道特朗普对此事的反应。但是，作为美国历史上最不按套路出牌的总统，以他口无遮拦、报仇不隔夜的性格，不报复回去是不能够的。 

 美国人自己调侃，所谓美国大选，就是从两个坏人中挑选一个不太坏的。而且现在的美国大选早已经没有风度可言，治国理政的政策就是忽悠选民投票的，剩下的多是人身攻击，甚至谩骂。

无风都要吹起三尺浪，更何况有对手的把柄在手，如果不大肆利用，真对不起美国政坛泼皮无赖的精神属性。四年一次的大戏又添了新素材，特朗普和哈里斯，一定要多抢点戏份，别让吃瓜群众失望啊……

Russian President Vladimir Putin has had enough of the unregulated Bitcoin mining in Russia. He’s worried that this surge in mining activities could cause serious power outages.

Alongside BRICS, Putin is calling for stricter regulations to keep Russia’s power grids safe from these energy-guzzling operations. He said:

“An uncontrolled increase in electricity consumption for mining cryptocurrencies can lead to power shortages in certain regions.” 

According to Russia’s Energy Ministry, crypto mining consumes about 16 billion kilowatt-hours each year. That’s almost 1.5% of the country’s total electricity use. And guess what? This number is only going up.

The power used for mining could cause major shortages, especially in places like Irkutsk, Buryatia, and Zabaikalsky Krai. These regions are already struggling. Putin warned that:

“If there is no free capacity, if it is ‘chosen’ by the so-called mining farms, then new enterprises, residential areas, social facilities will face supply interruptions, a shortage of electricity.”

Russia’s low electricity prices make it a magnet for miners. They bring in their mobile mining gear and set up shop, using a ton of power.

Putin has already ordered regulations for Bitcoin mining. This includes figuring out taxes for these operations and setting tariff rules. The goal is to control the power consumption and prevent the grid from being overloaded. Putin said: 

“We have already made serious progress in this area, and my colleagues will, I hope, report on current results and future plans today.”

He also brought up the Central Bank’s pilot project from last year, which tested the CBDC digital ruble. This project involved 12 banks, 600 people, and 22 businesses across 11 cities.

By July 1, they had made over 27,000 transfers and 7,000 payments. The digital ruble platform worked well, and now Putin wants to roll it out on a bigger scale.

Putin ended his speech saying Russia needs to act fast. Without proper regulations, the country’s power grid could face serious problems. He’s calling for systemic decisions at the federal law level to tackle this issue directly.

Putin stressed, “Here it is necessary to make the right and timely decisions, including systemic ones, at the level of federal law.”
