Yesterday I renewed a subscription for an overseas data tool I usually use. It was just a bill for a few dozen dollars, but I kept getting a payment failure. In the end, my domestic bank sent me a risk control message and froze my credit card. I called and argued with customer service for almost half an hour. I had to exhaust my words to prove "I am me, I am spending my own money and I haven't been scammed," before they reluctantly unblocked it. After hanging up, I looked at the card on my desk and really felt that this old financial system is completely rotten. You think the money is yours, but in their eyes, you are just a tenant with the right to use it. > This is also why I kept staring at the announcement of Bybit's 10 million WLFI reward today, reading it several times. ———— Many people look at such activities, their eyes glued to daily check-ins and playing TradeGPT to collect fragments for a lottery. To be honest, I can't even be bothered to click on those time-consuming data games that act as free labor. ➤ What really caught my attention was the most inconspicuous line in the announcement: permanent zero fees between USDC and USD1, and full access to mainstream coin pairs. Think about it, what keeps an exchange alive? It's the transaction fees. Bybit is now willing to cut this fat piece off and even subsidize a few million dollars worth of tokens for the event, what are they after? If you look at the on-chain data, you'll understand. ➤ USD1 has recently quietly increased its issuance by over 20 million coins. Moreover, institutions like MovaLab have directly become the first batch of super nodes. They are starting to slice into the cake of foreign exchange remittances and AI payments. This is not just a simple spring promotion for the platform; it’s political capital behind it using real money for subsidies. They are forcibly laying down a parallel dollar track in the market. ———— In this circle, don’t go against the trend. Now major exchanges are competing for the pricing power and liquidity of this new track. For us retail investors, arguing about whether this thing is truly decentralized is meaningless. My operations are extremely boring, but also the most stable. ➤ Move the idle USDC sitting on the chain over; after all, the exchange is zero-cost, and I can easily hit a $500 spot trading volume threshold. Since the giants are willing to spend money to seize the ecological base, then this certain liquidity subsidy is something to take advantage of. As for the 1 million prize pool's Mantle chain interaction, if you have the energy, just click a couple of times to grab it. In this market full of landmines, earning subsidies that you can understand is much more reassuring than blindly guessing the market. Alright, enough said. I still need to renew that damn tool; after the bank's hassle, I even forgot my login password.

Just reviewed the 42 Roundtable AMA by @42space again, and my main takeaway is: Eventcoins is not just a rebrand of prediction markets; it aims to turn real-world attention into on-chain assets that can be traded, co-built, and spontaneously generate liquidity. The lineup for this roundtable was quite interesting. Host @Jenni_Web3 managed the session very steadily, able to bring out technical questions and also capture the community narrative. The core is @Leo_ozavaat. His background ranges from Morgan Stanley quantitative analyst to early crypto and MEV research since 2017, then to Alkimiya’s blockchain space auctions and liquidity design. The whole logic leans heavily on market structure rather than just storytelling. So my understanding of Eventcoins’ positioning is: > meme-driven hype + > traditional prediction market result settlement + > permissionless market creation These three elements combined. Everyone knows the problems with traditional prediction markets: high barriers to market creation, difficult liquidity cold start, and in the end, only big traffic events like sports and politics tend to thrive. But memes have obvious issues too: narratives can heat up quickly but often lack a clear settlement anchor. What Eventcoins wants to fill is exactly this middle ground. ---- It uses bonding curves to allow event assets to be traded continuously throughout their lifecycle, with prices fluctuating in real-time based on participation, sentiment, and narrative changes. ➤ More importantly, anyone can create a market around a niche event: Local tournaments, KOL memes, friend groups, gaming communities, even temporary hot topics all have the chance to bootstrap liquidity themselves. This transforms prediction from an institutional market into a social, narrative, and trading closed loop that ordinary people can participate in. The community is also quite lively; @jiamigou, @borsch737, @Lilibee1227908, @ZhanweiC, @kaylyn_0x, and others were present, with many details discussed. At the AMA’s end, it was mentioned that over 1000 ambassador applications were filtered down using a 30-minute limited Google Form, showing clear execution and community enthusiasm. // Currently, the football market is live, with points and props available, and the IP Championship is underway. The team clearly aims to fully develop the 2026 World Cup line: national team coins, player narratives, final match matrix—all natural event entry points. My favorite part is: 42space is not just building a trading platform but more like infrastructure for “social + narrative + market.” Turning attention from friend groups, interest circles, and creator communities into something you can bet on together, hype together, and co-build together. This direction is a step beyond pure prediction markets. Of course, risks remain: liquidity after hype fades, regulatory gray areas, and whether event markets can sustain activity all need time to prove. But at least from this AMA, 42space is not aiming for short-term harvesting but building the foundational gameplay for the next-generation event economy. If you missed the AMA➤ you can check out @borsch737’s summary post or directly experience the bonding curve. The World Cup is coming soon; this time, we might not just be spectators.

According to the weak propagation theory, during the midterm elections, Fud Trump and matters or projects related to the Trump family will become a method to attract traffic. Take @worldlibertyfi as an example. From the beginning, rumors about Eric Trump and other Trump family members withdrawing from this project and outsourcing it to a Chinese team have all been strongly refuted by Eric. The spread of rumors can infiltrate the community, but people don't remember the content of the refutations. Weak propagation means that in communication, especially in social media, the weaker party wins. Although I believe that according to the weak propagation theory, it will be difficult for Trump to win the public opinion before the midterm results. But as a deeply trapped secondary holder of the WLFI token, I hope the Trump family wins the final victory. BTW, this visit to China is for business purposes, so we didn't see the shadow of the US First Lady. Eric Trump is the key attendee, hoping to learn from the bravery and pragmatism of the Chinese people, which will ultimately be reflected in the WLFI coin price 😍 USD1 I have eaten well, now only waiting for WLFI to take off 🛫

Watching Hong Kong IPOs these past two days, my biggest impression isn't that the hype has died down, but that making money has become harder. As of May 20, 2026, the market heat is actually still there: > Top Group CNC's grey market price once exceeded the IPO price by 47.8% > Yushi Technology's grey market price was 1.2% below the listing price > Dano Pharma-B reportedly oversubscribed by over 9000 times in the public offering > Yunyinggu Technology, Shenyen Intelligent, and Huaxida are still in the subscription phase. On the surface, the new stock market is still very hot But looking at these together, my feeling is clear: It's not that there's no money now, but the market has clearly started to be selective. Those that can get high premiums are usually the types that: Have scarcity in their sector Have a clear story Have a more favorable shareholding structure So Hong Kong IPOs in 2026 are gradually shifting from "hot market means easy gains" to "only recognizable quality stocks attract investors." In summary: Hong Kong IPOs haven't cooled off, but the phase of making money blindly is basically over. #港股打新

Many stablecoins are actually quite awkward. When they first launch, their issuance scale, reserve backing, partner lists, and social media presence can all be presented very comprehensively. But after some time, the core question often boils down to just one: Is it really being used? If users just keep it in their accounts, occasionally swap it for events, or it only appears in announcements, then essentially it’s still a “static stablecoin.” So when I saw Binance launch the BTC/USD1 perpetual contract this time, my first reaction wasn’t simply to cheer it as good news. I felt more that this is putting USD1 into a place where the market can truly test it. The BTC perpetual contract scene is very real. High trading frequency, high liquidity requirements, and very picky users. If it’s not good to use, they won’t use it; if the slippage is uncomfortable, they’ll switch; if capital efficiency is insufficient, it’s hard to stay. This is different from ordinary partnership announcements. Partnership announcements can tell stories, ecosystem events can boost short-term data, but derivative trading scenes are hard to sustain long-term on sentiment alone. If USD1, after entering Binance Futures, can really generate trading volume, margin demand, and develop certain usage habits, then its positioning is no longer just a new stablecoin. It will start to approach the role of settlement fuel within the trading system. But conversely, if after the hype no one continues to use it, that also shows the market only bought into the narrative briefly. This matter is also quite critical for $WLFI. Because whether $WLFI can continue to tell its story later doesn’t just depend on how much attention the Trump label can bring. More importantly, whether USD1 can transform from a topical stablecoin into one with a real usage path. I think the next round of competition among stablecoins will become increasingly realistic. Issuance volume, backing, partnerships, and buzz are of course important, but these only determine whether it can catch the market’s attention. What truly decides whether it can stay is whether it enters trading, margin, settlement, and on-chain liquidity scenarios that users engage with daily. Binance has given USD1 an entry point this time. What follows is not about how the story is told, but whether traders will actually use it. This is more honest than any announcement.
