As on-chain crypto exchange HyperLiquid gained popularity and its proprietary token HYPE reached all-time highs on Monday, misrepresentations about its traders’ profits spread across social media.  Crypto historian Smolting, known by his X handle InverseBrah, logged one particularly egregious example of a HyperLiquid trader — who had actually lost millions of dollars overall — climbing the wealth leaderboard. Unfortunately, HyperLiquid’s profit and loss (PnL) dashboards can be confusing. By the end of the day on Monday, for example, HyperLiquid’s leaderboard claimed that its most profitable trader made more than $400 million in profit in the past 30 days despite no trading volume during those 30 days . It’s the same story for the next three positions on the leaderboard: $200 million, $82 million, and $77 million in profit despite $0 trading volume. Only the fourth-ranked trader or lower had actually traded this month. A Binance wannabe spawning offshore ...

Disgraced Binance billionaire Changpeng Zhao (CZ) could be leaving prison two days earlier than expected due to a federal rule that allows for an early exit if a prisoner’s release date falls on the weekend. CZ is scheduled to be released from the RRM Long Beach halfway house in California on September 29 according to his inmate tracker. However, a release rule under the US Code Title 18, Crimes and Criminal Procedure § 3624, states, “If the date for a prisoner’s release falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday at the place of confinement, the prisoner may be released by the Bureau on the last preceding weekday.” Because it states he “may” be released early, the widely reported Friday release date is not set in stone. Users online also thought he was free when he was moved last month.

The soccer star’s Binance-tied NFTs allegedly promoted investments in unregistered securities on the crypto exchange. Pro-soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has been hit with a proposed class-action lawsuit from plaintiffs claiming they suffered losses from his promotion of the now-legally embroiled crypto exchange Binance. A Nov. 27 filing to a Florida District Court claimed Ronaldo “promoted, assisted in, and/or actively participated in the offer and sale of unregistered securities in coordination with Binance.” Binance entered a multi-year partnership with Ronaldo in mid-2022 to promote a series of his own nonfungible tokens (NFT), of which he has at least three collections tied to Binance. The complaint claims users who signed up for Ronaldo’s NFTs were more likely to use Binance for other purposes — including investing in what they claimed were unregistered securities , including Binance’s BNB (BNB) and its crypto yield programs. “Ronaldo’s promotions solicited or assisted Binance in...

Coinbase once wrote a manifesto in which it declared, “We don’t advocate for any particular cause or candidates internally that are unrelated to our mission, because it is a distraction from our mission.” Employees are told in their internal communication policies that they will not “debate causes or political candidates internally that are unrelated to work.” Despite this policy, Coinbase has still maintained external endorsements of candidates, with Brian Armstrong highlighting that Coinbase has integrated its “ Crypto policy efforts right into our app.” For the 2022 election, Coinbase has also continued to support political candidates through its Coinbase Innovation PAC. Presumably, these candidates must be related to Coinbase’s mission since they are advocating for them, but several of these candidates have actively worked to undermine and destroy democracy in the United States, a fact apparently unrelated to Coinbase’s miss...
