🏦 Aave bank run from the Kelp hack: $8B withdrawn in 48h, core market utilization 100%
The Kelp DAO incident did not just stop at $290M evaporated. The domino effect has spread to Aave, creating a true DeFi bank run. I think this is the biggest test for Aave's safety mechanism to date.
The sequence of events is quite classic:
→ Hacker exploited Kelp's LayerZero bridge, minting 116,500 fake rsETH without backing, worth about $293M (accounting for 18% of supply)
→ Fake rsETH was deposited into Aave V3 as collateral, borrowing $236M in real WETH
→ Kelp paused the contract, fake rsETH dropped sharply, leaving bad debt of about $177M to $200M on Aave
→ Aave froze the rsETH market and related WETH pools to prevent damage
But the news leaked, whales panicked and withdrew en masse:
→ Justin Sun withdrew 65,000 ETH (equivalent to $154M)
→ MEXC and many other whales followed suit
→ Total withdrawals from Aave in 24 to 48h exceeded $6B to $8B
As a result, core markets hit 100% utilization:
→ ETH/WETH
→ USDT around $3B
→ USDC around $2B to $2.4B
100% utilization means there is no available liquidity, you cannot directly withdraw your deposits. Many people had to sell aToken (aWETH, aUSDC) on Uniswap at a loss of 2 to 10%, or borrow other stablecoins (GHO, DAI) using trapped assets to withdraw indirectly at a cost of 10 to 25%.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ Aave lost about $8B TVL in 2 days, total DeFi TVL decreased by $13B, AAVE token dropped by 15% to 19%
→ Borrow rates for USDT and USDC jumped to 13% to 15%, a clear stress signal
→ Aave governance is being criticized for onboarding rsETH too easily, with rumors of conflict of interest
→ Bad debt of $200M is unclear who bears, may need to activate Umbrella safety module or slashing stkAAVE
Lessons I draw:
→ A reputable protocol like Aave can still be affected by contagion from a bridge hack in another project; the risks in DeFi are real
→ Not your keys, not your coins still holds true for DeFi, not just CEX
→ If you still have funds on Aave, I will check immediately, try to withdraw or prepare a backup plan via 1inch, Uniswap
Is anyone stuck in a position on Aave? Share how to exit, who knows we might help each other during this time.

🚨 Kelp DAO hacked $290M: LayerZero blames Kelp, suspects North Korean Lazarus behind it
On April 18, hackers withdrew approximately $290M from Kelp DAO through a bridge running on LayerZero. This is the largest DeFi hack of 2026, and I see this as a very worthy case study.
The attack method was quite sophisticated:
→ Hackers infiltrated 2 RPC nodes that the LayerZero verifier was using, installing spoofing software
→ The software only lied to the verifier (pretending fake transactions were real), while still providing correct data to all other systems, so no one suspected
→ Simultaneously, they launched a DDoS attack to take down the backup nodes, leaving the verifier without any sources for cross-checking
Result: the verifier was left with only 2 manipulated nodes, approving fake transactions, and the money was completely drained.
Why does LayerZero blame Kelp?
→ Kelp only used a single verification set (configured 1/1 DVN)
→ Simply put: instead of 3 people co-signing the money transfer, Kelp only relied on 1 person, and the hacker fooled that person to succeed
→ LayerZero claims they have advised Kelp multiple times to use independent multiple DVNs, but Kelp did not listen
What chills me is the name behind it. LayerZero believes it is likely the Lazarus group from North Korea (TraderTraitor unit), which is also the group that hacked Drift Protocol on April 1. In total, within 18 days, Lazarus withdrew over $575M from DeFi using two completely different attack methods.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ This is why last week I saw $AXL pump 30%, the narrative of cross-chain security is not a joke
→ The real risk does not lie in LayerZero itself but in how developers configure security; 1/1 DVN essentially voluntarily opens the door for hackers
→ For DeFi investors, I think this is the time to start reading the security specs of each protocol carefully, not just looking at APY
→ LayerZero has announced it will refuse to serve any projects still using 1/1 DVN, this is the right step
Kelp DAO has not yet responded. Are you holding any DeFi tokens that bridge through LayerZero? I think you should check the DVN configuration before sleeping well.

⚠️ $RAVE increased more than 6000% in a month: short squeeze or manipulation?
RaveDAO (RAVE) from $0.25 to over $22 in just a few weeks, market cap reached $5.48B and entered the top 50 coins by market cap. I looked at the chart and really had to stop and think whether this is an opportunity or a trap.
RaveDAO describes itself as a Web3 music protocol combining EDM culture with blockchain:
→ On-chain ticketing for rave events
→ Crypto payments at live shows
→ Staking linked to revenue from rave events
→ Has organized over 100K attendees in Dubai, Europe, North America, Asia
It sounds attractive, but on-chain data and the market are what make me cautious:
→ About 90% of the supply is in 3 wallets, over 98% in the top 10 wallets, extremely concentrated
→ Thin liquidity, market heavily shorted, creating a perfect environment for a short squeeze
→ RAVE futures recorded $43M liquidation in one day, ranking third after BTC and ETH
→ Many analysts suspect this is a pump designed with intention
📊 Personal assessment:
→ A token increasing 6000% does not happen naturally; after such parabolic moves, corrections are usually very painful
→ With 90% concentration in 3 wallets, just one wallet selling can make the chart vaporize 50% in an hour
→ If anyone got in early and is in profit, I would consider taking most profits, keeping a small part like a ticket
→ For those who haven't entered, I see FOMO at this level as riskier than the reward
This is a very clear example of the current market structure: thin liquidity + heavy shorts + concentrated supply = a formula for dramatic yet deadly squeezes. Are you holding RAVE? I'm quite curious about the perspective of those trading small altcoins.

🚀 $AXL surged nearly 30%, narrative cross-chain security returns after the Drift hack
Axelar (AXL) is one of the strongest pumping coins in the last 24 hours with an increase of +23% to +29%. What I find interesting is that this upward trend does not come from pure hype, but from a very specific story: cross-chain security.
A few days ago, the Drift Protocol on Solana was hacked for nearly $295M, with Tether rescuing $127.5M. As soon as the market's attention returned to bridge security, AXL was immediately revalued.
Looking back at history, I see this pattern quite clearly:
→ 2022 bridge hack wave: Ronin $625M, Wormhole $320M, Nomad $190M all pushed AXL above the price range before the events
→ Whenever cross-chain security trends up, AXL is the first asset to rotate in
→ This time, the Drift incident is just the spark, and the capital is looking for a narrative to pivot
Regarding infrastructure, Axelar is connecting over 55 blockchains through General Message Passing (GMP), including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and Hedera. The integration with Hedera has just been completed, adding more credibility to the narrative.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ DWF Labs is quite right: the classic altseason is dead, replaced by short, intense surges by sector, followed by very rapid rotations
→ AXL is currently the first beneficiary of the cross-chain security rotation, but in my experience, this type of rally usually does not last more than a few weeks
→ For those who got in early, I will think about taking profits in parts instead of holding everything waiting for a peak
Which sector do you think will be the next narrative rotation after cross-chain? I am betting on RWA and AI agents.

📉 BTC is forming a bottom? Funding rate negative for 46 consecutive days, a rare signal since the FTX collapse
The funding rate of BTC has been negative for 46 consecutive days, a number that has only appeared after the FTX crash in 2022 and the final bear phase of 2021. Both instances were precursors to very strong rally phases afterward.
I am monitoring a few interesting on-chain signals that are in sync:
→ RHODL Ratio reached the 3rd highest level in history, indicating BTC is moving from short-term traders to long-term holders
→ Coinbase Premium positive for 9 consecutive days, US retail is still steadily accumulating through the spot channel
→ BTC broke through $77K and retraced, with many bottom signals confirmed
What I like about the current setup is that all 3 signals agree with each other. Prolonged negative funding means short leverage is dominating, indicating that the market has become overly pessimistic.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ When shorts are too crowded, even a small catalyst can cause a strong short squeeze
→ However, on-chain metrics often lag, and history does not guarantee a 100% repeat
→ I prefer DCA weekly instead of going all-in at a price level, to ease psychological pressure if there is another liquidity sweep
Are you leaning towards the scenario that the bottom has formed, or is there another final drop to come?

🌊 The Hormuz Strait is fully open, how are the oil and crypto markets reacting?
The US and Iran have the potential to resume peace negotiations. The Iranian Foreign Minister stated that according to the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, the Hormuz Strait is now fully open for ships to pass.
The market reacted quickly:
→ Expectations for a strong recovery in crude oil supply increased significantly
→ International oil prices dropped sharply immediately
→ Trump later posted that Iran is ready to restore full traffic through the strait
However, the US still maintains the blockade of Iranian ports until an official peace agreement is reached. This makes me think that the peace news still has many uncertainties.
📊 Market assessment:
→ Falling oil prices help ease inflationary pressures, positively affecting expectations for the Fed to cut interest rates
→ Risk-on sentiment may support BTC, ETH in the short term
→ What I am cautious about is that historical geopolitical tensions in the Middle East often reverse very quickly; a tweet can cause oil to increase by 5% overnight
I am still prioritizing monitoring the reaction of the DXY and the US 10-year Treasury yield as the main signals, rather than short-term reactions on oil prices. What indicators are you following?

🏦 Charles Schwab opens spot crypto: The 5th Wall Street giant officially enters the game
Charles Schwab (AUM over $10 trillion) has just announced the launch of spot crypto trading services for individual clients. This is the 5th Wall Street giant to enter crypto, following Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and Citi.
The differences I see quite clearly among the 5 giants:
→ Morgan Stanley: launching spot BTC ETF, serving high net worth clients
→ Goldman Sachs, BlackRock: filed for a new style Bitcoin ETF
→ Citi participates as an Authorized Participant for the ETF
→ Schwab goes directly into spot, allowing tens of millions of retail investors to buy BTC, ETH directly on their brokerage accounts
Currently, the AUM of the US spot BTC ETF has reached $96.5B. I feel that the market is preparing for a shift.
📊 Personal opinion:
→ Wall Street is shifting from institutions first to retail penetration
→ When Schwab opens spot, the psychological barrier with crypto in the eyes of traditional investors will significantly decrease
→ I expect retail money through traditional channels will add new demand for BTC and ETH in the second half of 2026
The question is, who will be the 6th Wall Street giant? I'm betting on Fidelity. What do you think?

🆘 Tether rescues Drift $127.5M, the largest hack bailout in crypto history?
Drift, the leading derivatives protocol on Solana, lost $295M in the hack on April 1st. Tether led the rescue round of $127.5M, plus $20M from other partners.
The mechanism is quite interesting in my opinion:
→ Establish a recovery pool with transferable recovery tokens as compensation vouchers
→ Drift completed security audit, shifting settlement from USDC to USDT
→ Compensation funds will be gradually disbursed from the trading revenue of the protocol
What I pay the most attention to is Drift's shift of settlement from USDC to USDT. This is not just a bailout, but also a move to gain stablecoin market share on Solana, a market previously dominated by USDC.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ Tether has won over the Solana community while expanding the use case for USDT on an important L1
→ The stablecoin battle will become even more intense as USDC is pressured from both Tether and traditional bank stablecoins
→ In the long term, I think this type of post-hack bailout mechanism could set a precedent for large protocols
Do you think this is a move to build an ecosystem, or a strategy to gain market share? I lean towards both.

🏛️ Kalshi vs CFTC: the battle to define prediction market
The legal battle between Kalshi and CFTC is escalating, likely heading to the Supreme Court of the United States. The core question: is the prediction market a financial derivative or gambling?
In my view, this lawsuit could shape the entire industry:
→ The White House has warned employees not to use insider information to bet on the prediction market
→ Polymarket has recently faced allegations of insider trading
→ The Supreme Court's ruling will determine the compliance roadmap for on-chain platforms like Polymarket, Drift
What I'm watching is if the court leans towards derivatives, the prediction market will be legalized more broadly, with significant institutional capital flowing in. Conversely, if classified as gambling, many DeFi projects will need to restructure completely.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ This is a classic case of U.S. law lagging behind on-chain innovation
→ Regardless of the ruling, legal clarity is better than a prolonged gray area
→ I lean towards the scenario where the court classifies part as derivatives, and part for individual state management
Which direction are you betting on? I'm quite curious about the perspective of my fellow DeFi traders.

🌐 The crypto market is facing 3 major macro pressures this week
Last weekend, there were quite a few noteworthy macro news that I think could shape the sentiment of the crypto market in the short term.
News 1. Middle East geopolitical tensions ease:
→ Iran proposed allowing ships to pass freely through the Strait of Hormuz (the part belonging to Oman), indicating a softer stance
→ There are reports that both sides are negotiating to extend the ceasefire agreement for another 2 weeks
→ The Iranian Foreign Ministry has neither confirmed nor denied
→ Trump stated he is ready to fly to Pakistan to witness the agreement
News 2. Crypto regulations in the US remain uncertain:
The White House crypto advisor warned that without a sustainable legal framework for market structure, the US will continue to fall behind in the digital asset race. Clearly, the administration is in a hurry, but the legislative process is still slower than the market.
News 3. Fed maintains a hawkish stance:
Mr. Musalem (Fed) reaffirmed that interest rates need to remain unchanged. This goes against the expectation of a rate cut that the market is reflecting in prices.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ The ceasefire in the Middle East easing is positive news, oil prices are dropping, risk appetite is returning, favorable for $BTC $ETH
→ The lack of a crypto legal framework makes US institutional money more cautious, which is why altcoins have not surged strongly
→ A hawkish Fed is the biggest pressure, USD liquidity scarcity is always an enemy of risk assets
I think crypto is in a not bad state but not good enough yet. What signal are you paying the most attention to among the three above?

The White House crypto advisor warns that without a sustainable market structure framework, the U.S. will continue to fall behind in the digital asset race. Clearly, the administration is in a hurry, but the legislative process is still slower than the market.
News 3. Fed remains hawkish:
Musalem (Fed) reaffirms that interest rates need to remain unchanged. This goes against the expectations of cuts that the market is pricing in.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ The easing of Middle East ceasefire is positive news, oil decreases, risk-on sentiment returns, benefiting $BTC $ETH
→ The lack of crypto framework makes U.S. institutional money more cautious, which is why altcoins haven't surged strongly
→ Fed hawkishness is the biggest headwind, scarce USD liquidity is always the enemy of risk assets
I think crypto is in a not bad state but not good enough yet. What signal are you paying the most attention to among the three above?

🇺🇸 #FedNomineeHoldsCrypto: For the first time, a Fed Chair nominee holds crypto
This could be the macro signal that the crypto market has been waiting for years. Kevin Warsh, the Fed Chair nominee that Trump nominated, has just officially disclosed a portfolio with over 100 million USD in crypto.
The portfolio is quite interesting and very insider:
→ Flashnet (Bitcoin Lightning Network infrastructure)
→ Solana ($SOL)
→ Optimism ($OP, Ethereum Layer 2)
→ dYdX ($DYDX, leading perp DEX)
→ Polychain (top global crypto venture fund)
What caught my attention is that he once called Bitcoin the new gold for people under 40. This statement is not from a trader chasing trends, but from a former Fed Governor who once sat in the FOMC meeting room.
The hearing is confirmed to take place on 21/4. If approved, Warsh will become the first Fed Chair in history to have owned crypto before taking office. Of course, he will have to divest completely, but the perspective has already been formed.
📊 Personal opinion:
→ The diverse portfolio (Infra + L1 + L2 + DeFi + VC) shows that this is a long-term conviction, not speculation
→ A pro-crypto Fed Chair will change how US monetary policy perceives Bitcoin and altcoins
→ Flashnet in the list is an extremely bullish detail for the Bitcoin Lightning Network and BTC L2 solutions
If Warsh is confirmed, this could be a historic moment for crypto. How do you think the hearing on 21/4 will go?

🏆 #MyOKXWeb3Moment: The first time I truly understood Web3
The most memorable moment I had with OKX Web3 wasn't a big profitable trade, but the first time I withdrew money from the exchange to the OKX Web3 Wallet.
I still remember the feeling at that moment, heart racing, checking the address 3 times, setting the gas fee, then hitting the confirm button. In just a few seconds, the assets were in the wallet that only I held the private key for. That was when I truly felt the meaning of the phrase not your keys, not your coins.
What I like about OKX Web3 Wallet:
→ Simple interface, easy for newcomers to use
→ Multi-chain support (BTC, ETH, Solana, BNB, TON), no need to install 5 different wallets
→ Integrated DEX aggregator, quick swaps with the best prices
→ Explore dApps, NFTs, DeFi all in one app
📊 Personal assessment:
→ Web3 wallet is a gateway, not just a storage tool
→ OKX is doing well in popularizing Web3 for Asian users
→ With OKX Ventures entering the Vietnamese market through CAEX, I expect the Web3 experience to be even more accessible
What’s your memorable Web3 moment? The first time swapping tokens, the first time minting NFTs, or the first time staking DeFi?

🔥 #BigFourAllInOnBtc: Wall Street officially all-in on Bitcoin
In just one month, four giants of Wall Street have simultaneously entered the Bitcoin game seriously. I think this is one of the most important signals of this cycle.
Here's a recap of what just happened:
→ Morgan Stanley launched a spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT, fee only 0.14%)
→ Goldman Sachs filed for a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF
→ BlackRock registered a Bitcoin yield ETF (BITA)
→ Citi officially joined as an authorized participant
The total AUM of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. has now reached 96.5 billion USD. Specifically, BlackRock's IBIT holds 55 billion USD, accounting for about 57% of the market share. Notably, on the same day Goldman filed, the net inflow reached 411 million USD.
📊 Personal insights:
→ Bitcoin is transitioning from a fringe asset to a standard financial product
→ With the Big Four getting involved, pension funds, insurance, and private banks will have reasons to allocate accordingly
→ The low fee of 0.14% indicates that parties are competing for market share, which is good for long-term investors
With institutional money flowing in like this, I believe the crypto market is entering a very different phase. What do you think about this wave?

🇻🇳 VPBankS adds nearly 1,100 billion to the crypto exchange CAEX, OKX gets involved
The Vietnamese cryptocurrency market is heating up noticeably as VPBankS has just decided to spend an additional 1,097.2 billion VND to purchase 109.72 million shares of CAEX, the thriving Vietnamese cryptocurrency exchange.
The context is that CAEX is offering 997.5 million shares to increase its charter capital to 10,000 billion VND, equivalent to about 380 million USD. This is the minimum required capital to participate in the pilot cryptocurrency market in Vietnam. VPBankS currently holds 11%, so they are buying the exact proportion to maintain ownership.
The point I find most interesting is that on April 14, VPBank signed a strategic partnership with OKX, one of the top global crypto exchanges. OKX will advise on strategy, share operational experience, provide technological solutions, and connect liquidity for CAEX.
Even more notably, OKX Ventures will also invest directly in CAEX this April.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ CAEX was newly established in September 2025, with initial capital of only 25 billion, now skyrocketing to 10,000 billion in just a few months
→ Current shareholder structure: VPBankS 11%, LynkID 50%, Future Land 39%, a strong consortium in finance and technology
→ OKX's involvement shows that Vietnam is becoming a strategic land that major crypto exchanges do not want to miss
If the legal framework is implemented smoothly, this could be a turning point for the crypto infrastructure in Vietnam. How do you think CAEX will reshape the domestic market?

🌐 The Asian economy is shaken by the Iran conflict, is crypto the new safe haven?
This morning I held the Thanh Niên newspaper and saw an entire international page discussing the energy shock from the Iran war. The images of Pertamina gas stations in Indonesia raising prices, and the news that Tuvalu declared a state of emergency due to fuel shortages, really made me think a lot.
What is happening in the region:
→ Indonesia has to limit fuel consumption, from 31/03 Reuters reported that many gas stations have run out of stock
→ Tuvalu, one of the smallest countries in the world, declared an emergency as it only has enough fuel for a few weeks
→ The UK national trade agency (UKMTO) warns of maritime routes through the Middle East
The point I find most important: this is a reminder that reliance on physical assets through maritime routes is a real risk. Asia imports more than 60% of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint that Iran can influence.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ Bitcoin has increased by more than 6% during the recent tensions, capital is looking at BTC as a borderless asset
→ Stablecoins in emerging markets like Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam may benefit if currency volatility increases
→ I think the narrative of BTC as digital gold is being reinforced by events like this
When the real economy faces an energy shock, do you prioritize holding cash, gold, or crypto? I still believe in a balanced allocation, but BTC is creeping up in my portfolio.

🚀 XChat launches on April 17, Musk officially declares war on Telegram and WhatsApp
Elon Musk's platform X has just confirmed it will release XChat globally on the App Store on April 17. This is an end-to-end encrypted messaging application, deeply integrated with Grok AI and directly connected to X accounts.
Key points I find noteworthy:
→ End-to-end encryption, directly competing with Signal and WhatsApp
→ Grok AI is embedded directly into the chat interface, able to summarize, translate, and analyze within the conversation
→ Uses the same X account, no need for a phone number like WhatsApp or Telegram
This is an important step in the Western WeChat strategy that Musk has pursued for the past two years. X is no longer just a social network; it is becoming a super app.
Perspective with the crypto community:
→ Telegram is currently where most crypto projects operate, from airdrops, shilling, to community calls
→ If XChat captures this market share, on-chain information, sentiment, and alpha will shift to X
→ The TON project (Telegram) may face real competitive pressure for the first time
📊 Personal assessment:
→ In the short term, Telegram remains king thanks to bots, mini-apps, and the TON ecosystem
→ In the medium term, integrating AI + identity through X is a very strong weapon
→ I will monitor which crypto project is the first to move the community from Telegram to XChat
Do you think XChat has enough strength to pull the crypto community away from Telegram, or is this just another hype cycle for X?

⚠️ RAVE into CoinMoveAlert, what do I see after a 6,000% increase and correction?
RAVE (RaveDAO) has just been listed on Binance's #CoinMoveAlert with unusual volatility. Currently down about 4.72% for the day, but the story behind it is what I want to dissect.
Notable developments:
→ Price soared from 0.25 USD to 14.18 USD in just 7 days, up over 6,000% in 1 month
→ Has corrected about 44% from the peak, currently around 12.5 USD
→ RAVE futures were liquidated at 43 million USD, ranking third after BTC and ETH
The risks I see the most:
→ 90% of the supply is held in 3 wallets, the top 10 wallets hold over 98%
→ Thin liquidity, easy to manipulate in both directions
→ A strong short squeeze has pushed the price, not organic money flow
Regarding the essence of the project, RaveDAO is a Web3 music protocol aimed at EDM and on-chain experiences. The narrative isn’t bad, but the tokenomics are too centralized, the risk of dumping from whales can occur at any time.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ This is not a coin for value investment, only suitable for traders with good risk management experience
→ Unusual volatility does not mean opportunity, just as Binance warned
→ I will not touch it until I see a more transparent token distribution
Are you trading RAVE, or standing outside like me? Manage your position size carefully, this is a type of coin that could go to zero in a single candle.

📉 BTC funding rate negative for 46 consecutive days, historical signal or trap?
Data from K33 Research shows that the average 30-day funding rate of BTC perpetual has been negative for 46 consecutive days. This is extremely rare.
In history, this has only happened twice:
→ After the FTX crash at the end of 2022
→ During China's ban on coin mining in the middle of 2021
And the most notable point I see: both previous instances were followed by a significant rally of BTC.
Currently, BTC is trading around 74,000 USD but has yet to break the resistance at 76,000. Meanwhile, Goolsbee from the Fed warns that if oil prices remain high, interest rate cuts may have to wait until 2027. The macro situation is not easy at all.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ Prolonged negative funding means that the short side is paying fees to the long side, and the market is leaning towards pessimism.
→ However, this is also the period when short squeezes are most likely to occur; just one break of 76k will trigger a cascade of short orders.
→ I am not in a hurry to buy the dip, waiting for confirmation of momentum and actual volume.
History does not repeat itself entirely but often rhymes. Which scenario are you leaning towards, a new rally or another deep pullback?

🔥 For the first time in history, a Fed Chair nominee has publicly held crypto
Kevin Warsh, the Fed Chair nominee appointed by Trump, has officially disclosed his personal assets. And I was truly surprised by his portfolio.
Notable positions:
→ Flashnet (Bitcoin Lightning Network infrastructure)
→ Solana
→ Optimism
→ dYdX
→ Polychain Capital
Total value exceeding 100 million USD. If approved at the hearing on 04/21, Warsh will have to divest completely, but I think the symbolic significance is worth discussing.
The point I find strongest: Warsh once called Bitcoin the new gold for the under-40 generation. His portfolio is not speculative trading, but spread evenly from Layer1, Layer2 to DeFi and Lightning infrastructure. This is industrial confidence, not FOMO.
📊 Personal assessment:
→ For the first time, a Fed Chair nominee has publicly held crypto, indicating that U.S. monetary policy is truly changing
→ Solana, Optimism, and dYdX may benefit sentiment in the short term
→ Lightning Network (Flashnet) is gaining attention again, a narrative I think will be hotter in 2026
If the person sitting in the Fed Chair truly believes Bitcoin is the new generation's gold, how fast do you think the U.S. crypto regulatory framework will move in the next 12 months?
