The Crypto Cafe with Terence/Crandorz

So we've seen Crypto prices dropping for awhile now, mainly due to the fact right now that AI is a hotter narrative than crypto. But to look at some facts too, institution has been selling BTC at a record rate too especially if you look at just the past 1 month. Of course, this wouldn't bode well for the BTC prices if so. Combined with the fact with the recent controversy about MSTR selling BTC (MSTR recently dipped below $100 per stock, having hit an all time high of $400+). Other thing is also STRC, which you can look at it as Microstrategy's way to raise more money to buy Bitcoin while giving a dividend yield (~11%) to the stock holders. Both stocks has come under fire due to the market conditions, especially with BTC cratering lower and lower this year. I guess time will tell whether MSTR will continue to survive this, or will it be another black swan event? Really hope not it's the latter though because going through one round of LUNA has been really rough for everyone.

In case you're wondering what an MEV bot (or sandwich bot does: They basically frontrun trades to make people pay more than they usually need to (when swapping crypto and stuff) So this whole situation is really ironic when the bot got beat at its own game (or sort of)

The famous MEV bot Jaredfromsubway just got drained for $15m. In short, the attacker created fake wrapped tokens of the real tokens like WETH and USDT which was fWETH or fUSDT. Then set up liquidity pools that look profitable. Get the bot to 'test' the pool and increase allowance enough for the attacker to strike to hit big. Crazy stuff every day in crypto. https://x.com/coinbureau/status/2068505193189396742

If you've farmed the Layerzero airdrop with Stargate in the past, you might want to check the platform again. Apparently there's some USDC rewards for users. Not much for me, but may be more for you. So make sure to do a quick check for some free kopi money (or hopefully more for you) https://stargate.finance/stake

TACO strikes again. Guess not! Suddenly markets turning for the better again with BTC claiming 66k and ETH over $1.8k again. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/14/us-iran-war-peace-deal.html

well, looks like the war has resumed as well. Not looking good on macro wise.

USDT flipping ETH in market cap 👀

Zcash recently had one hell of a rally, but that's been wiped out now after this was reported and the token crashed 57% just yesterday because of a critical bug. While it's slightly recovered now, those who chased its prices probably saw massive losses. Overall market has been really weak too. Even HYPE has dropped quite a bit now (even though not as drastic as Zcash) https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/zcash-zec-price-crashes-57-094720227.html

Bitcoin recently dipped below 70k again. While the S&P500 are hitting record high, can't say it's the same for crypto One recent news was due to MSTR and Michael Saylor apparently selling off some BTC which spooked the overall market, with some even claiming the ponzi scheme may come crashing down. (All speculation here in my opinion so far, no hard facts but just seeing what people are saying) Is there a chance this may go further south? Always possible. Weak markets, combined with fear, plus crypto taking a backseat thanks to AI, further downside can be expected. However one token is not like the other.. 👀

One of the biggest hype in the recent markets is stock trading on chain, 24/7. Seems like Binance is riding on that trend too. Check it out here https://www.binance.com/en/stocks-landing

While the rest of the market may be sleeping.. HYPE has been outperforming the rest of the market. Why? Primarily it has made its name to be the top DEX in the world now for perps, and has continued to do so for awhile now. Other things? Some talks about bring stocks to on chain to hyperliquid to trade 24/7 has been going around Whatever it is, doesn’t seem like this was a random pump that might dump. All i can say there was good discounts on it for awhile. Continue to monitor this 👀

Well we got a new fed chair that Trump has pushed for awhile now. Will Trump finally get the lowered rates as he wanted? I guess time will tell https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/13/kevin-warsh-wins-senate-confirmation-as-the-next-federal-reserve-chair.html

If you answered LUNA or UST, you are absolutely right! What happened to one of the biggest coins at that time what really history in the making, as I covered a lot of what happened back in those years too. You can see here and take a look at history by clicking what I quoted and what exactly went down (with what I reported in this channel too) Personally, I losted about $30K in this incident (as seen later after the claim page helped me to calculate). A lot of lessons that I've learned since then such as being more wary instead of blindly investing in hyped projects, moving majority of my funds to cold wallets (due to massive exchanges fallouts after LUNA like Celsius, FTX), and not putting all your funds in one place. Looking back, this was really one of the craziest periods i've experienced in crypto so far and is still is really. The crypto market has evolved a lot since then, with this being the biggest lesson that Algo stablecoins isn't exactly 100% foolproof, and having 19% yield on a stablecoin is really unstable (pun intended lol)

4 years ago, the world faced this coin that changed the entire crypto landscape. Do you still remember what it is?

Lesson learned: don’t get margin called 🤔

What's been happening still: a massive blame game with the remainder of the $195m still at large. Here's a few more of what happened besides the Arb freezing recently today https://x.com/thedefiedge/status/2046574418810605673

Meanwhile Aave has frozen deposits and withdrawals for rsETH due to this situation so far. WETH also has been frozen across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle, and Linea. (Only Ethereum has been unfrozen so far, but the rest still remain frozen) A full incident report can be seen here: https://governance.aave.com/t/rseth-incident-report-april-20-2026/24580 https://x.com/aave/status/2045593585966252377 https://x.com/aave/status/2045944827510939696

Some of the funds on Arbitrum (about 1/4) were frozen so the hackers make it out with lesser. Also side update, apparently North Korea is behind this hack as well https://x.com/arbitrum/status/2046435443680346189 (PS. you can see the hacker's positions over here: https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/cc627a5c-0409-4494-8753-2febb2f3ff0d)

We’re just witnessing 2026’s biggest DeFi hack so far now Ongoing exploit as KelpDAO rsETH bridge got exploited not too long ago where the attacker minted about $290m worth of rsETH through LayerZero. The attacker started to borrow against places like Aave and compound as well, making these protocols stuck with bad debts. This is an ongoing case still.
