And the reason is not just administrative, the real reason is crypto

#CryptoMarketDrops150KLiquidated #CryptoMarketDrops150KLiquidated: 150,000 Traders Wiped Out as Leverage Burns
Date: May 18, 2026
The crypto market just delivered a brutal reminder of why leverage is a double-edged sword. Over the weekend, a sharp sell-off triggered one of the largest liquidation cascades in recent months, wiping out more than 150,000 traders in just 24 hours .
Total liquidations approached $700 million**, with long positions accounting for over 96% of the damage . Bitcoin briefly tumbled below **$78,000, while Ethereum dropped to around $2,180, dragging the entire altcoin mar

Founder of @solana @toly aggressively shills new PERP DEX in his account just 1 month after @DriftProtocol hack for $290m.
There was no real recovery for users of Drift, the existing recovery plan is pathetic.
Drift recovery pool is just $3.8m and it will take 20 years to compensate Drift users from exchange profits. But nobody cares, it is easier to promote a new PERP DEX than recover previous leader of $SOL deco system.
Don’t trust any Solana protocol until Drift users are compensated.

👀 $DOGE This coin, I was already calling a short around 0.111 earlier! I warned about this trade in advance, entry price was 0.111, now it’s at 0.10523, profit and loss percentage +508.78%. Now it’s directly dropped to 0.10523, friends who followed have all taken profit! This position is almost enough to take profit, don’t be greedy for that last bit of profit, trading isn’t about catching the fish head or tail, securing the gains is the key! I dared to go short back then because after sideways grinding for a while, it started to leak downward. The ones in the car took 80% profit first, leav

After returning to Hong Kong, Websea @Websea_CN was involved in a run-away incident, causing widespread panic. Objectively speaking, there was indeed a gap in the funding chain before, but now there is a reversal; Middle Eastern investors' funding has been received, withdrawal channels have been restored, and in the future, PoR reserve proof will be publicly disclosed. As long as they do not run away and are willing to address the issues directly, it is good news for users.

Let's talk about JustLend DAO's GasFree: a design that solves real pain points
I just saw that JustLend DAO launched the GasFree feature, and it's their sixth anniversary. I'll share my research.
Actually, the USDT transfer volume on the Tron chain has always been very high, with daily transfers exceeding $21 billion, accounting for the majority of global USDT transfers. But there's a very annoying pain point: if you want to transfer USDT, your wallet must have TRX as gas fee. Many people only have USDT.
What GasFree does is actually quite straightforward
— Let USDT pay the transaction

Bitcoin slipped below $77K after Trump’s latest warning toward Iran pushed oil prices sharply higher and triggered another wave of crypto liquidations.
The interesting part is how quickly markets shifted from “risk-on” positioning back into macro fear once energy prices and geopolitical tensions started repricing together.
Futures volume surged, liquidations jumped more than 500% and most major tokens saw aggressive market selling rather than passive distribution.
For now, this looks less like an isolated crypto move and more like global macro pressure spilling directly into risk assets.

#BREAKING US proposed temporary waiver on Iran oil sanctions — according to Tasnim, citing a source close to the negotiation team.
Oil erased its earlier gains immediately after the report.
This is the latest signal that Washington and Tehran are actively negotiating behind the scenes, even as public rhetoric remains tough. A temporary waiver would allow some Iranian oil back into the market and ease supply concerns.
Markets are highly sensitive to any positive development on the diplomatic front.
Watch oil closely — one confirmed waiver or breakthrough could send it lower fast.

TP1: 0.2630
TP2: 0.2580
TP3: 0.2500
Stop Loss: 0.2760
Why this Setup:
I’m looking for a short because price pushed hard into the recent highs and is now stalling just under resistance. I want to fade a weak retest of the 0.2690 area and ride a pullback toward the prior breakout levels if momentum fades.

$ESPORTS | 1h | Pullback Long

Stop Loss: 0.6300
Targets:
TP1: 0.6680
TP2: 0.6820
TP3: 0.7000
Invalidation:
Close below 0.6300
Why This Setup:
I see a bullish higher-timeframe structure with price pulling back into the 0.64 to 0.65 demand area after a strong impulse move. I want a reclaim from this support zone toward the prior supply at 0.68 to 0.70, with clear room for continuation if buyers defend the recent higher low.
