Whale Bags $6M in Crypto Caper, Bitcoin Set for $110K Leap!

Well, well, well, if it isn’t ol’ Bitcoin, strutting its digital stuff towards a $110,000 target, while a crafty crypto whale swims off with a $6.2 million prize. Arthur Hayes, the soothsayer of BitMEX, has decreed it so, pointing to the US’s monetary policy that’s as predictable as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

But hold your horses, because the decentralized finance (DeFi) world took a punch to the gut when an unknown behemoth exploited Hyperliquid’s algorithms like a child snatching candy from a baby. 😲

“I bet $BTC hits $110k before it retests $76.5k. Y? The Fed is going from QT to QE for treasuries. And tariffs don’t matter cause of “transitory inflation.” JAYPOW told me so.”

“What I mean is that the price is more likely to hit $110k than $76.5k next. If we hit $110k, then it’s yachtzee time and we ain’t looking back until $250k,” Hayes added, probably while adjusting his top hat and monocle.

Meanwhile, the Fed’s quantitative tightwaddery (QT) is slowing down, but it ain’t over till the fat lady sings, or so says Benjamin Cowen, who probably knows a thing or two about these matters.

Hyperliquid whale still holds 10% of JELLY memecoin after $6.2 million exploit

This mysterious whale, who’s probably swimming in a vault of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck, manipulated the JELLY memecoin price and made a killing. And guess what? They’re still holding onto nearly $2 million worth of the stuff. 🐋💰

Turns out, when the price of JELLY shot up like a rocket, the whale’s $4 million short position was too big to fail, so it got absorbed into the Hyperliquidity Provider Vault (HLP). Talk about a whale of a tale!

Polymarket faces scrutiny over $7 million Ukraine mineral deal bet

Polymarket, the granddaddy of decentralized prediction markets, is in hot water after a dodgy outcome on a high-stakes political bet. Some say it was a governance attack, while others blame it on sheer negligence. 🙄

DWF Labs launches $250 million fund for mainstream crypto adoption

DWF Labs is throwing a $250 million bash to speed up the crypto party and make sure blockchain projects grow like weeds. They’re focusing on projects that can actually make a difference in the real world, not just in the digital Wild West.

“We’re focusing our support on mid-to-large-cap projects, the tokens and platforms that typically serve as entry points for retail users,” says Andrei Grachev, probably while wearing a suit that costs more than my car.
