Flying Tulip (FT) is about to launch its token sale on CoinList, looking to raise $200,000,000 for 20% of its token supply, and the market is paying close attention. This sale stands out for two reasons: first, it’s one of the highest-profile DeFi launches in months; second, FT introduces a unique “Perpetual PUT” structure, letting buyers redeem their tokens at cost or trade freely if they opt out of the protection.
**Impact on the market:**
- FT's massive fundraising goal ($200,000,000) and strong institutional interest (total private+seed funding reached $225,500,000, with over $1,360,000,00

USDY—the first tokenized U.S. Treasury asset on Sei—just went live, marking a big step for real-world assets (RWA) in crypto. This move brings over $1.28 billion worth of institutionally-backed, yield-generating assets onto Sei’s high-speed blockchain, giving users and protocols access to Treasury-backed income and new DeFi possibilities.
Here’s why this matters for the broader crypto market:
- **Mainstream Capital Enters Crypto**: USDY is backed by actual U.S. Treasuries and major institutions like BlackRock and Apollo. Its integration with Sei bridges traditional finance and DeFi, making it

Bitcoin is dropping after news broke that Donald Trump is likely to nominate Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair. Warsh is known for his "hawkish" stance, which means he typically supports higher interest rates and a tighter money supply. As soon as speculation picked up around his possible nomination, Bitcoin fell to a two-month low near $81,000.
Here's why this hit the crypto market so fast:
- Investors worry that a Fed led by Warsh would be less willing to flood the market with cheap money ("liquidity"). Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies thrived during years of low rates and ampl

Tether has made over $10,000,000,000 in net profit for 2025, much of it stemming from gold appreciation rather than bitcoin. As gold prices hit record highs above $5,300 this week, Tether significantly increased its gold holdings—its gold-backed token (XAUT) supply now grows faster than its flagship USDT, with CEO Paolo Ardoino even claiming Tether aims to become a “gold central bank” and may allocate up to 15% of its reserves to bullion.
