LEO, HYPE, and TRX Head Into the Weekend Inches From Record Highs

Three altcoins are consolidating right below key levels as the weekend approaches. LEO needs roughly 15% for a new all-time high, HYPE needs about 21%, and TRX is chasing a 2026 high at $0.3775 before it can even think about its December 2024 peak of $0.4313.

Bitcoin's $79,730 Low and $939 Million Wipeout: Wholesale Inflation Just Broke the $100K Trade

A hot US wholesale inflation print ripped $939 million out of crypto markets and liquidated 176,506 traders, dragging Bitcoin to an intraday low of $79,730. The recovery to $82,000 is real, but the message underneath it's uglier: this market was crowded, complacent, and priced for Fed cuts that aren't coming.

A Nasdaq-listed treasury company that already holds roughly $237 million in TRX just set up a $200 million at-the-market share offering to buy more. The raise is almost as big as the entire position it's meant to grow, and that ratio tells you everything about the risk.
