Crypto Twitter is eerily quiet again with no major protocol or regulatory news; attention shifts to memes about Trump-crypto ties and light market commentary.
The Story So Far
After a weekend of silence broken only by WLFI promos and SUI price chatter, CT wakes up to more of the same void. The Iran-BTC Hormuz rumor that dominated feeds late last week has vanished, and the promised BTC $80K magnet remains unmentioned. The only crypto pulse comes from cynical takes on Trump-family tokens and a lone claim of a Binance short squeeze, while builders wait for something—anything—to actually happen on-chain.

Trump token drama resurfaces on CT
Renewed accusations that Trump-family crypto projects extract value could spook retail and invite regulator scrutiny.
This might be the craziest thing I’ve ever read on X. It was already painfully obvious that anything in crypto the Trump family touched was shady at best, but reading this just leaves you speechless. That’s an insane call out, I honestly can’t tell if it’s brave or just stupid. Who would’ve thought a pro-crypto president could actually end up being a net negative for the industry?
