📈Crypto funding rates rival microloans Funding on some crypto exchanges is reaching levels that look closer to microfinance than markets. Example: trying to buy oil perps on Hyperliquid shows limited liquidity. On Gate, oil exposure exists only through perpetuals, with funding around 0.8% per hour, which annualizes to roughly 6,500%.

Not CME futures. Not a bank desk. A crypto-native venue. The reason is simple. When the event hit on a Sunday, Hyperliquid was one of the few places with live liquidity and continuous trading. Activity is already expanding beyond crypto: ➡️ Silver became the #2 asset by volume on Hyperliquid today, behind BTC ➡️ Just three months ago it didn’t exist in crypto markets The idea gaining traction is straightforward: if assets trade 24/7 with deep liquidity, traditional market hours start to matter less. ✅Subscribe to@cryp

🥷 Bitconnect: the $2.4B lesson crypto won’t forget Bitconnect promised 40% monthly returns from a “trading bot.” The bot never existed. Vitalik called it a Ponzi two months before the collapse. People kept depositing anyway. ➡️ $2.4B raised from 40 countries ➡️ BCC peaked at $463 ➡️ Crashed 92% in one day The man who screamed “BITCONNEEECT” on stage put in $25,600. At the top it was worth $250K. He didn’t sell. Later divorced. The founder disappeared from India in 2022. He faces up to 70 years if found. 800 victims split $17M in restitution. Out of $2.4B. ✅Subscribe to@cryp
