Apple’s iPhone sales revenue grew by 21.7%.
Then the stock price fell 7.3% pre-market.
Yes, earnings growth—market value could first evaporate by $361.6B.
The reasons aren’t complicated. Apple expects revenue growth of 9%—11% this quarter, while Wall Street wants 12%. The company also said that advanced chips aren’t enough, and iPhone, Mac, and iPad could all be affected.
Can sell.
Can’t make it.
Across the street, Microsoft’s Azure growth of 45% shows that the money spent on AI is starting to come back. Apple, however, is proving something else: what AI is taking isn’t just funding—it’s also

Two generations. Half a year. One tier. Nine days.
Two generations.
Two years ago, when talking about homegrown large models, the industry consensus was that they were 1 to 2 generations behind the world. To catch up? First survive.
Half a year.
A year ago, the “gap” shifted from 1 to 2 generations to half a year. Some people started to disagree, and some started to take it seriously.
One tier.
Today, independent evaluations have put Kimi K3 in the same tier as GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8. At the doorway of the world’s top tier, it has stepped in. Above it, only Claude Fable 5—ranked number on

Last month they got exposed for secretly gambling, and this month they’re applying for leverage through the front door.
Remember that post from last month?
Polymarket was banned in the US. Then one sleuth dug through the on-chain data: Americans had bet $571 million in a year, the number one spot globally.
The banned countries are their biggest customers.
Only a few days later, a new plot arrives:
Polymarket has officially applied to regulators to enable leverage trading for US users.
Yes, you heard that right. The issue with secretly gambling hasn’t been fully clarified yet—first they’re appl

Last week it marketed with jokes; this week it “took away” Solana projects. When Robinhood was building its chain, half the people said it was just a marketing gimmick.
The mainnet only went live a few days ago, and the data hit back in your face: daily DEX trading volume of $560 million. Daily active addresses, closing in on 200k. In the chain deployment rankings for Uniswap, it surpassed Base and took second place. The harshest move: World announced it would migrate from Solana to Robinhood Chain. Others go after users; it goes straight after projects. ARB surged 15% with it, because this

Even Satoshi's old comrade couldn't get listed. Adam Back. The cryptography legend personally cited by Satoshi in the whitepaper.
He launched a Bitcoin treasury company, BSTR, aiming for a SPAC listing, with Cantor—a storied name on Wall Street—as the counterparty. Today, the merger fell through. The original agreement was scrapped, the shareholder meeting postponed indefinitely, and they're now looking for a new buyer.
This is already the third blow to the Bitcoin hoarding sector this month. Strategy, the godfather of BTC accumulation, started selling last week—3,588 coins.

Circle's script last week was hijacked by Stripe, Coinbase, and BlackRock, causing the stock to crash 17% in a day. The screen is full of people saying USDC is doomed.
Today, Visa released on-chain data showing USDC's trading volume is leaving Tether further and further behind. The settlement volume of the entire stablecoin space surged 63% in one month.
The driving force is Wall Street banks, which have started using digital dollars for real-money settlements. On one side, the stock market is sentencing it to death.
On the other side, on-chain money is voting with its feet.

Those who shorted last month felt great, but last night they suffered badly.
Non-farm payrolls added only 57k people, half of expectations.
Rate hike? Gone.
281 million in short positions liquidated within 24 hours, twice the amount of long liquidations.
ETF inflows of 221 million, ten consecutive days of bleeding, stopped overnight, the largest single-day in two months.
$BTC at 62k, a two-week high, climbing out of the 58k pit in just three days.
A month ago, shorts were showing off profits; last night, shorts became fuel.
This market has only one rule: whichever side has more

Retail investors are cutting losses. ETF outflows are surging. The fear index has plunged to 11.
The entire screen is filled with "it's going to zero." Right at this critical moment, on-chain data is flashing a contrarian signal.
According to Glassnode, Bitcoin's long-term holders—those old money wallets holding coins for over 155 days—have switched from net selling back to net buying.
While everyone else is running, they are starting to buy. The picture is just that contradictory.
The newest money—the institutional funds behind ETFs—set a record last month by pulling out $4.5 billion,

Nowadays, any financial company with a bit of a reputation seems embarrassed to show up without its own blockchain.
The latest to jump in is Robinhood—that national-level app used by U.S. retail investors for stock trading. It announced the launch of its own public blockchain, diving headfirst into crypto and blurring the line between "stock trading" and "crypto trading" even further.
When you look at the recent list in sequence, it gets interesting. Nasdaq moved market data onto the chain, DTCC is using Stellar for settlement, and then Robinhood built its own chain. Old money from Wall St

When the World Cup reaches the knockout stage, the prediction market track is simultaneously playing out two completely opposite dramas.
The first drama: getting rich overnight. During the World Cup, a batch of strategy accounts on Polymarket turned $1.5 million in principal into $7.68 million in short-term gains, just within a few matches. The profit effect of "betting right on one match and multiplying your wealth several times" is sucking in a huge amount of money and attention into this track. Looks tempting, right? Want to jump in? Not so fast—let's look at the second drama.
The second dr
