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

⚠️ 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.

🕯 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.

📉 85% of 2025 tokens are trading below launch

85% of token launches in 2025 are trading below their listing price. Even VC-backed deals are barely breaking even, with many deep in the red.

In Q2 2022, crypto VCs raised nearly $17B in a single quarter and launched 80+ new funds. Capital was flowing into almost anything labeled “crypto.”

Now the picture is different:

➡️ VC ROI has been falling since 2022
➡️ New fund count is at a 5-year low
➡️ Last quarter fundraising was just 12% of Q2 2022 levels

Yes, VCs deployed $8.5B last quarter, up 84% QoQ. But most of that is capital raised in 2022. From 2023 to 2025, total capital deployed is roughly equal to what was raised in 2022 alone.

The old model was simple: raise a round, launch a token, sell to retail.

That model is fading.

As VC influence weakens, projects with real users and real revenue may finally have an edge. Less insider pressure. More product focus.

The easy money cycle is closing. The build cycle might be starting.
