Iran’s overseas arms export agency, in a stroke of bureaucratic genius (or desperation), has floated the idea of settling payments for missiles, drones, and warships via crypto, barter, or-if you’re feeling particularly adventurous-Iranian rials. Because when sanctions squeeze, why not pivot to the Wild West of digital finance?
For two weeks, BTC has been trapped in a tight range, darling, like a socialite in a too-small gown. The Bollinger Bands, those ever-so-dramatic volatility gauges, have narrowed to less than $3,500. The lowest since July, according to TradingView. How quaint! 🧐
A gaggle of wallets associated with our buddy Justin has quietly amassed a hefty position in Lighter’s brand-spankin’-new LIT token. Talk about being fashionably late to the party! 🎉

Unlike earlier DEXs that relied on bots, algorithms, or witchcraft, Hyperliquid boasts a fully onchain central limit order book.
