🕯 X is not launching in-app trading after all

At first, many thought X was about to let users trade stocks and crypto directly from the timeline through its new Smart Cashtags feature.

That is not the case.

Head of product Nikita Bier clarified that X will not execute trades or act as a brokerage. Instead, Smart Cashtags will provide live prices, charts, and asset data inside the feed.

Any Buy or Sell action will redirect users to external brokers or exchange partners for execution.

⚠️ Trezor and Ledger users targeted with phishing letters

Owners of Trezor and Ledger wallets are receiving physical scam letters urging them to “verify” their accounts. The letters look official and come printed on branded paper.

The scam works through a QR code. Once scanned, users are asked to enter their seed phrase. Anyone who does that risks losing their crypto instantly.

❕ If someone asks for your seed phrase, it’s already a scam.

While we wait for the new week to kick off, we took a look at the crypto market.

$HYPE stands out. Price action is clearly stronger than most of the board.

The October 10 liquidation low was taken. Since that sweep, buyers have been in control.

The push toward the $53 range high looks programmed. The only real question is execution.

The idea is not just to buy a pullback, but to localize the entry on lower timeframes around the $26.5 area. That’s where the risk can be tightened and the upside maximized.

If the setup forms, the signal will be posted in premium channel.

🫶 Have a good weekend

Next time you feel bad for missing something that mooned

Imagine being SBF:

➡️ Put $500m into Anthropic, which would now be worth $70b.
➡️ Held $60m in $SOL at $8 that would've been worth $2.1b at the top.
➡️ Put $100m into Mysten Labs that would now be worth over $800m.
➡️ Invested in Robinhood and held a 7.5% stake that would now be worth $10b.

Instead, everything got seized before they went up, and he missed out on $80b in profits
