Privacy continues pushing full steam ahead. With new funding, high-stakes court cases, and technical milestones, our industry is recommitting to onchain privacy as a first principle. One of the longest-running efforts is Aztec, which just launched its "Adversarial Testnet" — a permissionless trial ahead of its upcoming mainnet. Here’s why Aztec is still leading Ethereum’s privacy frontier.👇 ~~ Analysis by @davewardonline ~~ What is Aztec? @aztecnetwork is a privacy-first Ethereum Layer 2 that supports both public and private smart contract functions, letting privacy be a choice. It uses a dual execution model: private smart contracts run client-side, inside your browser; public ones run on Aztec’s decentralized node network. Both execution types interoperate through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), connecting private and public computation. Unlike most L2s, Aztec isn’t EVM-compatible. Instead, it uses its own language, Noir, built for zero-knowledge proofs. Why not Solidity? Aztec claims the EVM’s transparent state makes real privacy impossible without security tradeoffs. Noir hides ZK complexity and offers a Rust-like syntax that doesn’t require deep cryptographic expertise. The Private Execution Environment (PXE) The PXE (pronounced "pixie") is Aztec’s client-side privacy engine — a local library that runs in your browser. It’s part wallet, part scanner, part proof generator. It stores secrets, detects private assets, and builds the proofs that enable private transactions. ➢ Manages secrets — Stores private keys, decrypted notes, and metadata locally. Handles multiple accounts and address books. ➢ Builds transactions — Simulates, prepares, and proves private transactions (e.g., swaps), packages them with encrypted outputs, and sends to an Aztec node. ➢ Tracks private assets — Uses a UTXO model. Encrypted notes are published to Ethereum as logs. PXE scans and decrypts them locally, then displays balances like a wallet. PXE handles the private side. For public execution, there’s the Aztec Virtual Machine. The Aztec Virtual Machine (AVM) The AVM runs public smart contract logic on the Aztec network. It communicates with PXE, enabling private functions to trigger public actions — and vice versa. Need public price data for a private swap? Want a public NFT auction that settles to a private address? This kind of hybrid logic is possible through PXE-AVM interaction. Aztec rollups compress both private (PXE) and public (AVM) transactions into batches, post them with proofs to Ethereum, and maintain encrypted notes as verifiable but unreadable blobs. Result: private and public logic settle together on Ethereum without compromising privacy or composability. What You Can Do Now Several tools are live for those looking to test ahead of mainnet: ➢ Aztec Sandbox — Local dev environment for building and simulating private dapps. ➢ Aztec Playground — Browser tool to run testnet contracts and transactions. No setup required. ➢ Join the Validator Set — Register with ZKPassport, run nodes, earn roles and rewards. Overall, Aztec offers a strong vision of encrypted computation alongside public state. With 16K nodes already running, the move from research to deployment looks close. Keep up now so you're ready later.

The Edge Series: Market Intelligence #20 @0xGeeGee prompts | powered by Chaos AI 1. @stablecoin_x to Spend $260.00M on $ENA Buybacks in First Public Market Play for @ethena_labs StablecoinX Inc. will spend $260.00 million on systematic ENA token buybacks over six weeks, marking one of the first uses of a SPAC to build a protocol-aligned treasury vehicle. Formed through a merger between TLGY Acquisition Corp. and a validator business focused on Ethena, the company raised $360.00M and plans to allocate most of it to daily $5.00M $ENA purchases. It will list on Nasdaq under the ticker $USDE in late 2025. The company’s core objective is singular: maximize ENA tokens per share. All profits from validator operations and staking services will be recycled into further $ENA accumulation. Crucially, the @EthenaFndtn retains full veto power over any future $ENA sales. Strategic Impact: The move grants public market exposure to Ethena’s internet-native stablecoin USDe and aligns public investors with Ethena’s growth. ENA has surged 134.57% in the past 30 days, trading at $0.656, signaling bullish momentum and investor confidence in the model. >> Read more on Chaos AI: https://t.co/0qlQTbvFZ2 2. @arbitrum's Timeboost Earns $2.00M YTD, Now Powers One-Third of All DEX Activity Arbitrum’s Timeboost protocol has generated $2.00 million in revenue year-to-date, just three months after launch, and now accounts for nearly one-third of all DEX activity on Arbitrum One. Launched on April 17, 2025, Timeboost adds a 250ms auction-based latency window that captures MEV from arbitrage and liquidation opportunities. The protocol routes priority transactions through a competitive express lane, with over 99% of auctions attracting active bidders, consistently representing more than 50% of Arbitrum One’s Real Economic Value (REV). The revenue split sends 97% to @arbitrumdao_gov and 3% to the @ArbitrumDevs Guild, offering a model for decentralized monetization of sequencing rights. Based on May averages, annualized Timeboost revenue is projected to reach $11.30 million. Strategic Context: As of May 31, Arbitrum One’s Chain GDP hit $214.90 million YTD, with protocols like @Uniswap, @GMX_IO, and @Aave contributing over 40% of economic throughput. Timeboost now anchors Arbitrum’s broader monetization push by converting blockspace into auctionable infrastructure. >> Read more: https://t.co/pirrK0DemK 3. Bitcoin Sentiment Swings Into ‘Greed’ Zone; Traders Warn of Pullback Risk $BTC's recent climb to a record $122,838 has pushed market sentiment deep into the Greed zone, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index hitting 74.0 this week. Optimism prevails across the market, but veteran traders warn that elevated bullishness and signs of long-term holder capitulation may point to an overheated setup, raising the risk of a sharp correction if $BTC fails to hold momentum above the $110,000 threshold. The rally has been fueled by $14.80 billion in net ETF inflows and positive U.S. policy signals, including supportive remarks from President Trump and the introduction of pro-crypto legislation such as the “Genius Act.” However, warning signs are beginning to flash: • Long-term holders (LTHs) appear to be losing conviction, with the age consumed metric spiking to its highest level in over a year. • Analysts like @TonyTheBullCMT caution that failure to break a new high soon could lead to a drawdown of 50% or more. Despite a 1.52% pullback over the past week, Bitcoin remains above key moving averages and is holding the $110,000–$112,000 support zone, preserving its bullish structure and leaving cautious optimism intact. >> Read more: https://t.co/QdpfVfMnHo

SoSoMacro | June 17: Global Stocks Rise, Iran Signals De-escalation

LNMTrader's Bulletin 📈📋 Friday, June 13, 2025 🍜 SHORT-TERM FORECAST: 🟡 Bitcoin and Greed Index: 54 (Neutral). ⚠️ Important Geopolitical Context: Israel-Iran conflict escalation (airstrikes reported June 13) is driving market volatility, with Bitcoin dropping ~5% due to risk-off sentiment. 🔸 June 13 (Today): Bitcoin likely to remain volatile, trading between $100,000–$106,500. Geopolitical tensions may push prices toward the lower end if risk aversion persists, with support near $100,000. 🔸 June 14 (Tomorrow): Potential stabilization as markets digest news. Price may recover slightly to $102,000–$108,000 if no further escalation occurs. A strong Iranian response could drive it back to $95,000–$100,000. 🔸 June 15 (Sunday): Assuming de-escalation, Bitcoin could test $105,000–$110,000, supported by ETF inflows and institutional interest. Persistent conflict may keep it suppressed near $98,000–$103,000. Disclaimer: The Bitcoin price forecast provided is for informational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice. Bitcoin derivatives markets are highly volatile and the coin price can fluctuate significantly. Always conduct your own research and consult with a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions. ☕️ TL;DR: Trading Notes 🔷 Bitcoin slides to $103K as Israel launches airstrikes on Iran: 🔹 Bitcoin Price Drop: Bitcoin fell to $103,000, a nearly 5% decline, after Israel launched airstrikes on Iran on June 12, 2025, dashing hopes for a new all-time high. ▫️ Geopolitical Trigger: Israeli airstrikes targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities and military sites, escalating Middle East tensions and sparking a risk-off market sentiment. ▫️ Market Impact: The broader crypto market saw $1.2 billion in liquidations, with Bitcoin dropping from a 24-hour high of $108,500. ▫️ Iran’s Response: Iran vowed a harsh retaliation, with reports of missile launches, further fueling market uncertainty. ▫️ Safe-Haven Shift: Investors moved to assets like gold and bonds, contributing to the selloff in risk assets like Bitcoin. ▫️ Market Sentiment: Social media reflects bearish sentiment, with some traders anticipating further declines, while others see a potential rebound. 🔷 Will $3B Bitcoin Options Cause Even More Pain Today in Crypto Markets? 🔹 Bitcoin Options Expiry: Over $3.7 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire on June 13, 2025, on Deribit, potentially increasing market volatility. ▫️ Bitcoin Contracts Details: Approximately $3.04 billion in Bitcoin options with a put/call ratio of 0.95, indicating balanced long and short positions, and a max pain point at $107,000. ▫️ Market Context: Spot Bitcoin markets are retreating, with Bitcoin dropping nearly 5% due to geopolitical tensions from Israel-Iran conflict escalation. ▫️ Potential Price Impact: The max pain point suggests losses for many traders if Bitcoin’s price moves toward $107,000 at expiry, potentially triggering forced liquidations. ▫️ Ethereum Options: Around $687 million in Ethereum options are also expiring, with a put/call ratio of 1.20 and a max pain point at $2,700. ▫️ Market Sentiment: Traders are divided on Bitcoin’s near-term trajectory, with some expecting a new all-time high soon, while others anticipate a rejection. ▫️ Geopolitical Influence: The Israel-Iran conflict, including reported Israeli airstrikes, is contributing to a risk-off sentiment, impacting Bitcoin’s price stability. 🔷 Bitcoin Could Jump 20% For Every 1% Liquidity Boost: 🔹 Bitcoin's Q2 Surge: Bitcoin experienced a strong second-quarter rally, aligning with a significant increase in global liquidity, as noted by Real Vision’s chief crypto analyst Jamie Coutts. ▫️ Liquidity Impact: Coutts suggests that every 1% increase in global liquidity could lead to a 20% price increase for Bitcoin, based on historical correlations. ▫️ Global Liquidity Index: Coutts’ proprietary Global Liquidity Index hit an all-time high on April 10, 2025, after three years of stagnation, followed by a 40% Bitcoin rally in nine weeks. ▫️ US Dollar Influence: The rally coincided with a plummeting US dollar, boosting Bitcoin’s price momentum. ▫️ Moderating Sensitivity: Bitcoin’s sensitivity to liquidity changes may decrease over time, but the 20% per 1% liquidity boost remains a key metric. ▫️ Potential for Panic Buying: Coutts warns of an “oh shit” moment where panic buying could further spike Bitcoin’s price, not fully accounted for in current liquidity-driven models. 🔷 Czech government hit with no-confidence vote over $45M Bitcoin scandal: 🔹 No-Confidence Vote Initiated: Czech Republic’s opposition ANO party called for a no-confidence vote against the government due to a $45 million Bitcoin scandal. ▫️ Bitcoin Donation Controversy: The scandal involves a donation of nearly 500 Bitcoin (worth $45 million) from Tomas Jirikovsky, a convicted criminal who ran an online black market. ▫️ Justice Minister Resignation: Former Justice Minister Pavel Blazek resigned on May 30, 2025, amid pressure over the Bitcoin auction, denying any wrongdoing. ▫️ Government Auction Details: The Czech Justice Ministry sold the donated Bitcoin on May 28, 2025, for 1 billion Czech koruna ($45 million). ▫️ Opposition’s Stance: ANO’s vice chair, Alena Schillerova, announced the no-confidence motion on X, citing corruption concerns, scheduled for Tuesday. ▫️ Political Impact: The scandal threatens Prime Minister Petr Fiala’s coalition ahead of the October 2025 election, though the no-confidence vote is unlikely to pass. ▫️ Police Investigation: The national police’s organized crime unit is probing the scandal for possible money laundering. ▫️ New Minister Appointed: Eva Decroix was sworn in as the new justice minister on June 10, 2025, to restore public trust.

LINUX Refund Update We’ve completed data processing and loss calculations for all users who haven't yet received a refund. [IMPORTANT] Action required by June 14th 5pm EST: - If you don’t have any remaining LINUX: Please review your address and total loss in https://t.co/PEVUoR5tdZ - If you still hold LINUX: Please send it to our admin address (EX7QGHSreah6EUtsPXCcen5R8JUyiVQWgz6aV4UspyMy) and review your total loss in https://t.co/I6d45uo9QB - If you never sold any LINUX but haven’t received a refund: Check if you still hold any LINUX. If yes, send it to our admin address. If not, please contact us via DM. If you believe your data is incorrect or missing, contact us via DM. If everything looks correct, you don’t need to do anything. Refund Process & Timeline After this post, users will have 2 days to review their total losses and report any issues. If no major issues arise, we will finalize the “recovery rate” and send partial refunds to everyone on the https://t.co/PEVUoR5tdZ list. For anyone still on the https://t.co/I6d45uo9QB list after the deadline, refunds will be processed once they return their remaining LINUX to the admin wallet. FAQ Q: What is the “recovery rate”? Recovery rate = total available SOL for refund (~18K) / total losses across all users. We currently estimate it will be 95%+ (final number depends on any user-reported issues). This means that all users will recover the majority of their losses. Q: Why are total losses shown in SOL? What if I traded using other tokens (e.g. USDC)? We only have SOL (from the liquidity pool + auction fees) to refund users. Loss calculations are based on the SOL value at the time of your original transactions. Q: Why isn't there a hard refund deadline? We are handling massive on-chain data from thousands of people with many edge cases across various DeFi protocols to trade LINUX. It’s a very complicated process so it’s hard to guarantee an exact deadline without overpromising. That said, we don’t expect many more unhandled edge cases after users complete this data review. Our current estimation is the majority of refunds will be sent shortly after this review period. Q: Where will the refund be sent if I have multiple addresses? Refunds will be sent to the address where you either: - last sold all your LINUX, or - sent all remaining LINUX to the admin wallet.

From Lockup to Ledger: Ross Ulbricht’s Prison Swag Just Netted $1.8M in BTC! Web3 kicking off June in peak crypto history mode: Ross Ulbricht just sold his prison ID for 11 BTC (~$1.1M). Not a collectible NFT. Not tokenized art. An actual prison ID card. And that’s just one piece of the ~$2M haul Ross pulled in by auctioning off his prison memorabilia this week on Scarce City, a Bitcoin-native auction platform. Rewind to 2013: Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, controlled 144,336 BTC, worth billions today, before going to jail. After 10+ years behind bars, he received a presidential pardon from U.S. President Trump earlier this year, a decision that followed years of public pressure from the #FreeRoss movement. The movement, supported by libertarians, prison reform advocates, and parts of the crypto community, had gathered 600,000+ signatures calling for his release. In May, he made his first public appearance at Bitcoin 2025 Las Vegas, delivering a keynote to an audience of crypto OGs and new builders, thanking the community for its support. The Breakdown: 🏷️ Prison ID card: 11 BTC (~$1.1M) 📓 Prison notebook: 1.06 BTC 👟 Prison sneakers: 0.54 BTC 🔒 Locker lock, sweatsuit, personal effects: various BTC bids 🎨 3 oil paintings (created in prison): 3+ BTC combined Total haul: $1.8M in Bitcoin, even after this week’s BTC dip ($104K). Why It Matters: ✅ Crypto history is valuable: Few OGs in Bitcoin’s early days sparked as much debate as Ulbricht. His prison artifacts are now cultural relics for the BTC community. ✅ Narrative + scarcity = value: This is Web3 culture at work. It’s about story, symbolism, and owning a piece of crypto history. ✅ Market sentiment check: Buyers spent millions in BTC on this auction, even while BTC corrected. Bullish vibes still intact. In Ross’s own words: “I don’t need the reminders, but I’m sure some of you will love to have them.” Fast Forward to 2025: The U.S. regulatory winds are shifting fast: ▪️ Cases like Tornado Cash are being dropped. ▪️ Regulatory clarity is incoming. ▪️ U.S. policy may soon lean pro-innovation, opening new lanes for DeFi, privacy tech, and Web3 innovation. CT takeaway? If a prison ID can sell for 11 BTC in this market… Imagine what happens when the next real bull run kicks in. 🚀 Would YOU have bid on it? 👀 Drop your takes 💥, hit that RT 🔁, and follow @SeedifyFund for more Web3 culture + alpha. Web3 summer is just getting started. Stay loud (and out of the slammer!) 🟠

🚀 Derivatives markets remain positive 🇯🇵 Japan’s Finance Ministry has reportedly circulated a questionnaire to primary dealers and bond investors to gauge views on appropriate JGB issuance levels, following a major bond market selloff. Yields on 10Y, 30Y, and 40Y JGBs recently hit decade highs, and the latest 20Y JGB auction saw the weakest demand since 2012. 🪙 Bitcoin traded in a tight $107K–$110K range as U.S. equity markets were closed for Memorial Day. Despite limited movement, options skew remains tilted toward OTM calls (+5%), down slightly from nearly 6% in the prior session. 📰 The Financial Times reported that Trump Media Group planned to raise $3B — $2B in equity and $1B in convertible bonds — to buy crypto assets like Bitcoin.

LIVE NOW -- Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High! Is the Real Crypto Pump Still Ahead? This week, @RyanSAdams and @TrustlessState unpack Bitcoin’s explosive run to $111K and the macro chaos driving it—specifically, the U.S. Treasury’s failed bond auction and what it signals for the dollar. They break down the Senate’s landmark stablecoin bill (and @SenWarren meltdown), Ethereum’s ZK miracle that could 100x Layer 1 throughput, and Texas launching its own state Bitcoin reserve. Plus, why Stanley Druckenmiller’s portfolio strategy might justify going all-in on crypto—and whether alt season is finally on the horizon.

MEV has matured into a billion-dollar industry, doubling from $550M when the ‘dark forest’ was first mapped in 2021. It's also spreading across chains, following trading activity. Last December’s memecoin frenzy is a case in point. MEV bots siphoned $100M on @Solana during the hype around Trump’s re-election rally. Still, Ethereum is ground zero, accounting for 75% of all MEV extraction thanks to a longer head start and deeper liquidity. Sandwich attacks are the most common form (~70%) of MEV extraction. Consider the image below, when a user tries to swap ETH for USDC with a 10% slippage tolerance. A searcher bot spots the transaction in the mempool, wedges its own trade in front, nudges the AMM price up, then dumps right after you, pocketing the spread. Forgetting to adjust slippage has cost unlucky traders $200k+ in a single swap. Jaredfromsubway.eth is one such bot who’s made over $10M from such attacks. With increasing MEV activity, blockchains are beginning to take ideological stances. @BNBCHAIN is blacklisting infrastructure providers that include MEV transactions. @SeiNetwork is researching batch auctions to shrink the MEV pie. Ethereum is moving towards Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS), a design that hands block ordering to specialised “builders” instead of validators. Transactions are pipelined across 5 stages: users, wallets, searcher, builder, and validator. Builders scoop up raw transactions, package them into full blocks, then auction those blocks to validators who naturally pick the most profitable bundle. By carving out clear roles, PBS will keep validators honest while letting competition at the builder layer squeeze MEV back toward users. Four approaches to reduce MEV: 1. Hiding: Conceal transactions until they are included in a block. Flashbots is the most popular relay protecting $43Bn+ in DEX volume. But this risks recreating Wall Street's dark pools. What begins as user protection can morph into insider privilege and Robinhood-esque order flow routing. 2. Exploiting: RFQ (Request-for-Quote) models like @PythNetwork’s Express Relay turn market makers against each other. When you request a swap, market makers compete to offer you the best execution price. Requires reliable 24/7 market makers with deep liquidity. 3. Minimising: @CoWSwap processes orders in batches and auctions the entire group at the same clearing price. With all orders executed simultaneously, there's no transaction ordering to exploit. CoWSwap has done $100B+ this way, eliminating the "arms race" for speed. 4. Recycling: If MEV is inevitable, capture and redistribute it. @Arbitrum's TimeBoost auctions a 200ms "express lane" every minute, with an estimated revenue of $30M flowing to ARB DAO yearly. @jito_sol redistributes 3% of MEV to JitoSOL stakers. We're watching a familiar movie on a brand new screen. Wall Street's dark pool story is playing out on-chain. It’s only a matter of time before heavyweight market makers like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, who have experience with traditional auction models, join the game. The most promising frontier? Layer 2s are baking MEV-resistant designs and experimenting with auction mechanisms that TradFi couldn't implement due to regulatory constraints. Our thesis remains: blockchains are money rails, and products that move money often will emerge as winners in crypto's next evolution.

: : [Report] Finance Meets Innovation, Injective Written by @Steve_4P --- https://t.co/865kFOuk9n --- The blockchain market evolves at a rapid pace and is often heavily driven by short-term narratives. In the midst of this dynamic landscape, most projects struggle to survive over time and eventually disappear. As Forbes has noted, the market is crowded with so-called “zombie projects” — those that exist in name only and deliver no meaningful progress. However, even in such a volatile environment, there are projects that have consistently demonstrated their value over time through both technical and non-technical evolution and adaptation. Injective is a prime example of such consistency. Launched in 2018, Injective has continued to grow steadily over the past six years. On the technical side, it has leveraged Frequent Batch Auction (FBA) to handle large volumes of transactions and has built a developer-friendly environment by introducing various modules such as Exchange, RWA, and Auction. More recently, it integrated native EVM support, further enhancing the experience for builders already familiar with the EVM ecosystem. On the business front, Injective has also moved swiftly. By onboarding high-profile projects such as Ethena, Ondo, Zambo, Zentry, and Aurora Network, it has continued to attract a steady stream of users. Furthermore, Injective’s recent membership in the Blockchain Association reflects its proactive stance on regulatory matters. By engaging directly with leading figures in the U.S. crypto industry, the project is positioning itself to respond to regulatory developments more nimbly than most Layer 1 networks. With growing market interest in real-world assets (RWA) and tokenization, Injective’s future trajectory is one that warrants close attention. --- ▫️Why Injective? ▫️The History and Background of Injective ▫️What Makes Injective Different? ▫️EVM?
