An X user (@bx1818), who claims to be an early investor in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has argued that shorting the token is the only way for investors to recover their principal. He warned that investors could lose their entire investment if they are lured by high interest rates into participating in WLFI's DeFi offerings, claiming the project's team has already withdrawn all funds from its pools. He compared the situation to the sustained decline of Curve (CRV) and urged investors not to hold onto any illusions. The user has identified himself as an early investor since before WLFI's launch and has previously mentioned suffering significant losses on his investment. Previously, the WLFI team reportedly borrowed over 50 million USD1 against 3 billion WLFI in collateral on its native lending platform, Dolomite, a move that effectively drained the project's liquidity. Following this news, the price of WLFI has been in a continuous decline. It is currently trading at $0.0917 on the Binance USDT spot market, down 6.43% over the past 24 hours.

The memecoin market has shifted from community-based investing to a form of esports-like trading where reaction speed is critical, BlockBeats reported. The average holding time for a memecoin on the Solana chain is now just 58 seconds, a sharp decrease from the one-day average three years ago. Many former professional gamers are reportedly engaged in these high-speed battles on platforms such as Pump.fun (PUMP). These traders have been observed profiting by searching for information within seven seconds of a popular post on X, purchasing the related memecoin within four seconds, and realizing gains in under three minutes. The outlet noted that top memecoin traders use high-performance PCs and internet connections to minimize latency, trading for more than 16 hours a day. BlockBeats added that the market is no longer a game of shared belief but has become a speculative arena where participants react to fleeting news to take funds from one another, concluding it is no longer suitable for investors with slower reaction times.

South Korea's National Tax Service (NTS) has yet to establish clear tax standards for various types of cryptocurrency income, including from DeFi, staking, and lending, ahead of the country's new virtual asset tax regime set to launch next January, The Herald Business reported. The issue came to light in a written response from the NTS submitted today to the office of People Power Party lawmaker Song Eon-seog. In the document, the NTS acknowledged a lack of clear guidelines for taxing income from staking, lending, airdrops, hard forks, and NFTs. When asked about its standards, scope, and methods for calculating acquisition costs for these income types, the agency stated it is still collecting information on international legislative examples and expert opinions. Furthermore, the report highlights difficulties in taxing profits earned on overseas exchanges located in jurisdictions outside the 56 nations participating in the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). This has raised concerns about tax fairness and potential capital flight.

With Bitcoin having reclaimed the $70,900 level, analysts are pointing to oil prices as the decisive factor for its next move. According to CoinDesk, analysts at Bitfinex noted that if oil prices maintain a 15-16% decline, the Fed could advance its timeline for interest rate cuts. This would be a structural positive for risk assets, including BTC. They added that with approximately $6 billion in leveraged short positions concentrated around the $72,000 mark, a breakout above this level could trigger a chain reaction of short liquidations, potentially pushing the price as high as $80,000. However, the report also highlighted that significant geopolitical uncertainty remains. A complete blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could cause oil prices to surge again. CoinDesk concluded that the next two weeks will likely be a turning point for Bitcoin's direction.

Dunamu, the operator of South Korean crypto exchange Upbit, has won an administrative lawsuit against the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) over a partial business suspension, Digital Asset reported. The Seoul Administrative Court's 5th Administrative Division ruled that while the FIU penalized Dunamu for gross negligence, the regulatory body had not provided specific guidelines for the required measures. The court found it difficult to conclude that Dunamu acted with intent or gross negligence, noting the company had taken its own steps. South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced it would appeal the decision. An FSC official expressed disappointment with the ruling, stating that transactions with unregistered virtual asset service providers could undermine anti-money laundering systems. The official added that an appeal would be filed immediately upon receiving the written judgment. The legal dispute stems from sanctions imposed by the FIU on Dunamu in February 2025 for allegedly violating the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information.

The Hyperliquid Market-making Pool (HLP) has lost approximately $1.5 million over the past 24 hours due to an attack involving Fartcoin. According to PeckShield, the attacker opened a $15 million long position in Fartcoin across four wallets and then intentionally triggered a liquidation in a low-liquidity environment. This activated the platform's auto-deleveraging (ADL) mechanism, forcing HLP to absorb the resulting bad debt. PeckShield noted that while the on-book loss is $3 million, the attacker likely secured significant profits by hedging with an opposing position on other exchanges.
