YEET.com has been doing some cool stuff lately in the crypto casino space, so we’re giving it a shout-out for anyone who’s been meaning to check it out.
They’ve been putting out a bunch of fun, crypto-themed games with plenty more coming!
I mean, check out the roster, plenty to choose from, plus it’s as easy as registering here and having some good old dicy fun:
Well, well, well, just take a look at all the red flags we pointed out last week, from Monday to Friday. And here we are, GM.
After the $600 million worth of longs were wiped out (ehm ehm f(x) Protocol), it seems tagging out all the red flags during the times everyone was bullish wasn’t such a bad idea. Indeed, it was time to be careful - as we said, this area is the FAKE NEWS one, can’t trust any move.
Trump is back with his tough Iran talk (wonder how the Iranian stock market looks like since it opens tomorrow), oil is surging to $107 shortly after, plus we now see a bearish engulfing dildo on BTC’s weekly chart. Summer slumber time? Perhaps.
At least we've got positive news on the ongoing tariff situation between the US and China, as it seems to be easing after last week’s Trump/Xi meeting.
What’s not so happiness-inducing is the fact that most altcoins look like shit. Literally, the weekly closes aren't anywhere near an indication of an upcoming Alt Bulla Time. Patience - it will come eventually.
Behind all this, we've got the bond market surging, with the 10-year notes already above the level we saw during last year’s tariff pivot, triggering a rapid V reversal to the upside once it reached 4.5%. Now? It’s already at 4,59%. A small move for the observer, a big one for the macro heads.
On top of all that, the odds of the Fed cutting interest rates in 2026 have collapsed to a new low of just 27%. At least it seems like the market doesn’t give a damn about cuts and hikes much more. Well, for now.
As for TardFi, despite the overall bearishness, it might be time to watch for higher lows, as it’s being way too shorted at the moment. Will it help crypto? Hard to tell, the historical run we've seen the past few weeks has had little to no effect on crypto as a whole. 4-year cycle chokehold continues, I guess.
At least the good old Binance provides a hopium dose today, saying markets are way oversold and we’re due for a bounce. Please, let it bounce over $82K so we can start bull posting again.
Lastly, in the long term, things are looking up for crypto as a whole, as the Clarity Act advanced through the Senate Banking Committee and is expected to be signed into law this year with a high probability. This is honestly great for us.
And of course, for the ending of the commentary, I can’t leave you hanging. Here’s the exact dose of Hopium you need to keep patient, collected, and ready for the next round. Cya all tomorrow.

Maple Finance.
If you’re new here, you should realize (and realize it fast) that RWAs and tokenization are the biggest narrative right next to AI and AI agents. All of this will connect eventually, but there’s one pick that clearly stands out: Maple, or token-wise: SYRUP.
I'm keeping a very close look on this one as we march into the next bull run. Maple is becoming one of the most battle-tested RWA projects out there, and it’s only growing and growing. Just take a peek at the numbers below and make your own opinion. Not too shabby.
Active loans of Maple (syrupUSDT+syrupUSDC) are back to almost an all-time high:
