Deep Tide Guide: A shooting broke out at the White House press corps dinner. After Trump was urgently evacuated, he immediately shifted the discussion at the press briefing to the White House ballroom he is building—a controversial project costing $400 million, funded by technology and crypto companies. Coinbase, Gemini, Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft are all listed among the donors. The political deal behind the ballroom is more worthy of the crypto industry’s attention than the gunshots.

Deep Tide Guide: Intel Q1 earnings surpass expectations, revenue of $13.6 billion, adjusted EPS of $0.29 (expected $0.01), stock price soared 24% in a single day to $82.57, the largest single-day increase since 1987, breaking the historical peak during the 2000 internet bubble era.

IMF former Chief Economist Rogoff warns that the Trump administration's easing of bank regulations will significantly increase the risk of a systemic financial crisis in the United States in the future. The relaxation partly comes from allowing traditional banks to stay innovative in the face of competition from dollar-pegged stablecoins; if cryptocurrency regulation is also relaxed, combined with deregulation, it could trigger a systemic collapse.

Deep Tide Guide: U.S. military special forces used confidential information on Polymarket to earn $400,000, and this is just the latest scandal. Nic Carter points out that prediction markets are stuck in a vicious cycle: producing accurate prices depends on insider trading, but that makes retail investors feel the market is being manipulated and they leave. This tension determines whether prediction markets can survive long term.
As I wrote in February this year, prediction markets have serious insider trading problems, and this isn’t an accident. This leads to a major failure mode:
