About $5.6B just left @binance hot wallets across Ethereum, Bitcoin and Tron.

If it's confirmed as a hack, it's the largest in crypto history:
- ~$3.5B on Ethereum, incl. ~167K $ETH and ~$1.6B $USDT
- ~$1.44B in $BTC (~18,270 BTC)
- ~$630M on Tron
- @Tether_to and @circle froze ~$1.8B within hours
- More than 3x the Bybit hack ($1.5B, Feb 2025)

Binance says it's investigating. @cz_binance says user funds are safe.

monero:native got no ad campaign, no ETF and no WSJ headline. It’s sitting in the $600's and holding above its 50 day moving average (around $570) while most of the market bleeds.

Show me another coin that's bullish on all time frames right now. I'll wait.

@AnthropicAI just shipped Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, ten weeks after the 5.1 release.

It's also cheaper. Fable 5.2 drops to $8/$40 per million tokens from $10/$50, runs up to 30% faster than 5.1, and is rated a step above Opus 5.5 in almost every capability they tested.

And all of this lands right before Anthropic's expected IPO. HUGE month for AI.

Coinbase is now a federally chartered national trust bank.

The OCC just converted @coinbase's provisional charter into full approval, which means federally regulated custody and payment services in the U.S., under the same regulator as the big banks.

A few years ago the industry was fighting to keep bank accounts open. Now one of its largest companies is the bank.

This is the part of adoption that doesn't trend on the timeline but matters most. Institutions don't move on narratives, they move on charters, custody and compliance.

The rails are getting built. $COIN
