AI company CoreWeave has lost one-third of its value since the day it joined the Nasdaq 100 index, despite doubling revenue in the second quarter and boasting of $100 billion in backlogged revenue. As common shareholders have suffered, insiders have been steadily selling.  Since Nasdaq 100 indexation became effective on June 22, 2026 and forced retirement savers to passively buy CoreWeave shares through hundreds of Nasdaq 100-linked funds around the world, executives and board members at the company have dumped over $600 million worth of stock. CEO Michael Intrator has liquidated over $320 million Co-founder Brannin McBee has sold $220 million Kristen McVeety, general counsel and corporate secretary, has sold over $22 million The company’s CSO, CFO, COO, and CAO have sold a combined $36 million CoreWeave since IPO.

Crypto exchange Hyperliquid is paying traders 500% a year to hold long oil derivatives. Payouts are hourly as an additional reward atop the price appreciation of oil itself which has regained $100 per barrel. Of course, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There are no free lunches on Wall Street. First of all, Hyperliquid offers extreme leverage — up to 20x on Brent oil, for example — so unremarkable, intraday price fluctuations can easily wipe out a portfolio. Moreover, even unlevered trades on Hyperliquid inherit innumerable financial risks from bugs, hackers, market manipulators, vulnerable technologies, and offshore counterparties. Still, Brent and WTI oil perpetuals on the crypto exchange printed deeply negative hourly funding rates today, meaning that the short side of the trade is overcrowded and must pay fees to borrow margin exposure from less popular longs. Traders on the venue are so one-sided that shorts must pay 500% annualized fee...

Fifteen different services offered by OpenAI are reportedly experiencing issues, which OpenAI is currently trying to fix.

DoorDash has performed 48% better than SpaceX since Elon Musk’s rocketship company launched for public trading at $150 per share on June 12. While SpaceX, which famously lost $1 trillion of market capitalization for its investors has crashed 6%, DoorDash has increased in value by 42%. In fact, based on current stock prices, it would have been better to buy any number of restaurant stocks instead of SpaceX on the Nasdaq. Texas Roadhouse has performed 13% better, Flanigan’s has trounced by 35%, and Cracker Barrel has outperformed by 12%. DoorDash (green) versus SpaceX (red) IPO on June 12, 2026.

The Shiba Inu (SHIB) team made a historic move after the token’s launch in August 2020 by sending Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin half of the project’s entire supply. Buterin is one of the most recognized figures in the crypto industry. Sending him half the supply was a move that garnered substantial trust among crypto enthusiasts. However, Buterin did not hold on to the coins he received. Instead, he burned 90% of the SHIB he received and donated the rest to charity. His actions led to a massive dip in supply, which consequently led to a big price rally. However, many still wonder why the SHIB team decided to send Buterin half of the supply upon launch. Is Buterin a secret founder of Shiba Inu (SHIB)? Let’s discuss. Is Vitalik Buterin a Secret Founder of Shiba Inu? Source: Pexels Shiba Inu (SHIB) was created by an anonymous figure known only as Ryoshi.

The US SEC made a historic decision in early 2024 by approving 11 spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs. The ETF approval has led to a substantial increase in institutional inflows for the original crypto. BTC has hit multiple all-time highs after the ETFs went live, with the most recent peak being $126,080, which it attained on Oct. 6, 2025. While ETFs have played a significant role in the current market cycle, let’s discuss which form of BTC is better for long-term growth: Bitcoin ETFs vs. BTC coin. Bitcoin ETF vs. BTC Coin: What’s The Difference and Which is Better? Source: Wccftech A Bitcoin ETF is an investment fund that tracks BTC’s price, whereas BTC is the actual cryptocurrency itself.

Founder and former CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, has for the past week been locked in a war of words and threats with Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. The back and forth has the senator referring to the cryptocurrency entrepreneur as a “money launderer” and suggesting, “If Congress does not stop this kind of corruption (the pardoning of financial criminals), it owns it.” Meanwhile, a lawyer for Zhao told the New York Post, “Mr. Zhao respectfully immediately requests the retraction of these false statements, both within the resolution and on X,” adding, “Mr. Zhao reserves his right to pursue all legal remedies available to address these false statements.” CZ pleaded guilty to a criminal money laundering charge and was sentenced to prison. But then he financed President Trump’s stablecoin and lobbied for a pardon. Today, he got it. If Congress does not stop this kind of corruption, it owns it. pic.twitter.com/NsWeaJcVeK — Elizabeth Warren (@S...

Binance.US has hit back at Senator Chris Murphy after he accused the White House of corruption following President Donald Trump’s pardon of Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, aka CZ. Murphy made the remarks on X, calling the White House a “24/7 corruption machine” after Binance.US announced it would open deposits for USD1, a dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial, and began trading a USD1/USDT pair. On the same day, Binance.US announced that deposits for WLFI have also been opened and that trading for a WLFI/USDT pair would begin at the same time.  “One week after Trump pardoned Binance’s owner (for a stunning array of crimes related to terrorist and sex predator financing), Binance starts promoting Trump crypto,” said Murphy on X. ”The White House is a full time, 24/7 corruption machine.”  Binance Says No Political Motive Behind Listings Binance.US denied any political motive,...
