Large, long-term crypto and Bitcoin investors continue to sell into the market, keeping asset prices from hitting a blow-off top. Crypto whales and long-term holders are cashing out, exerting constant selling pressure on markets, and keeping crypto prices suppressed, similar to market dynamics following the 2000s dot-com stock market crash, according to analyst Jordi Visser. Visser said the current price action in the crypto market is reminiscent of the period following the 2000 dot-com stock market bubble, which crashed stocks by up to 80%, followed by 16 years of consolidation before they regained their previous highs. This meant that venture capitalists, who invested in tech during the crash, were forced to hold their investments due to mandated lock-up periods as they treaded water and then desperately sold into the markets as soon as they were able to, Visser said.

Investors saw the announcement as a positive catalyst for crypto markets, but the proposed stimulus hinges on a Supreme Court ruling. United States President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that most Americans will receive a $2,000 “dividend” from the tariff revenue and criticized the opposition to his sweeping tariff policies. “A dividend of at least $2000 a person, not including high-income people, will be paid to everyone,” Trump said on Truth Social. The US Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments about the legality of the tariffs, with the overwhelming majority of prediction market traders betting against a court approval. Kalshi traders place the odds of the Supreme Court approving the policy at just 23%, while Polymarket traders have the odds at 21%. Trump asked: Read more

Explore how the Condorcet paradox exposes the limits of perfect fairness in blockchain consensus. For decades, research in distributed systems, especially in Byzantine consensus and state machine replication (SMR), has focused on two main goals: consistency and liveness. Consistency means all nodes agree on the same sequence of transactions, while liveness ensures the system continues to add new ones. Still, these properties do not stop bad actors from changing the order of transactions after they are received. In public blockchains, that gap in traditional consensus guarantees has become a serious problem. Validators, block builders or sequencers can exploit their privileged role in block ordering for financial gain, a practice known as maximal extractable value (MEV). This manipulation includes profitable frontrunning, backrunning and sandwiching of transactions. Because transaction execution order determines validity or profitability in DeFi applications, the integrity of transaction ordering is vital for ...
