Behind LSK 500% Spike: Why Lisks Rebrand and 100M Token Burn Signal a Structural Shift

Most 500% weekly candles live and die inside the same news cycle, not LSK. A tweet, a listing rumor, a bot-driven volume spike, and then silence.　　What‘s happening right now is structurally different, not because I’m telling you to believe it, but because you can go verify every piece of it yourself from Lisks own primary channels, and the picture that emerges is not one you piece together from speculation.　　Let me walk you through whats actually happened in the past several weeks, because the market is pricing something in, and for once the receipts are all there.　　The LSK Rebrand Wasnt a Pivot, It Was Ten Years Converging at Once　　In August 2026, Lisk founder Max Kordek published what is, honestly, one of the more honest corporate announcements Ive read in this space in a long time.

Tom Lee Says a 2% Bitcoin Bet Quietly Became an 85% Portfolio – Bitcoin News

Key TakeawaysFundstrats original 2% bitcoin allocation grew to more than 85% without clients buying more.Tom Lee says 80%-90% of investors still own no crypto as Bitmine jumped 99% in Q3.Lee sees a bullish 12 months for crypto as leverage returns and the 4-year cycle turns.　　The 2% Bitcoin Bet That Became 85%　　Imagine putting $2 out of every $100 in your portfolio into something plenty of people thought was ridiculous, leaving it there for more than a decade, and eventually discovering it had swallowed nearly the entire account. According to Lee, that is essentially what happened to Fundstrat clients who followed the firms early bitcoin allocation strategy.　　At the time, Fundstrat began advocating a modest 2% position more than a decade ago, when bitcoin traded below $1,000, and skepticism was lurking everywhere.　　“Our original recommendation for a 2% position, for the average account for Fundstrat that actually took our advice, is now over 85% of their portfolio,” Lee told Wealthion during an interview released on Friday. “They bought 2% and bitcoin‘s gone up a lot in price.” That is the wild part. The clients didn’t keep piling money into bitcoin. An allocation deliberately small enough to limit the damage if the idea went off

While the cut was not a huge smash, it turned out to be only the first taste of a very short studio effort. In the last days of August, Jennie returned with a three-song digital EP titled Fallen Angel. A physical product that more than

DeFi audit scope study: what the 94% loss figure means

In decentralized finance, “audited” is often presented as a verdict on an entire project. In practice, an audit usually covers named code, components and versions at a particular point in time. Anything added, excluded or operated around that boundary may carry a different level of assurance.　　A new preprint puts a number on that gap. Researchers affiliated with security company ack3 and the Czech Technical University in Prague examined 135 reported incidents from the first half of 2026, with $939.86 million in attributed losses. They found identifiable public pre-incident audits for 68 incidents.　　Within that 68-incident subset, the authors classified 46 attack paths as outside every audit scope they could identify, 20 as inside at least one scope and two as unresolved. The outside-scope group represented 67.6% of the incidents but 94.4% of their reported losses.　　That striking percentage is not an estimate of audit effectiveness or proof that an audits boundaries caused a loss. It describes the distribution of losses in a selected set of reported incidents. Two large cases also dominate it: after excluding $292 million at Kelp DAO and $285 million at Drift Protocol, the outside-scope share falls to 72.1% of losses in the same audited-incident subset.　　Even with those limits,

Kevin O'Leary's New Investment Is Not Bitcoin or Stocks

Kevin O‘Leary’s next investment target is neither Bitcoin (BTC) nor stocks. The Shark Tank host wants about 5% of his portfolio in rare sports cards, and his group just paid $11 million for one.　　The card carries pieces of Shohei Ohtani‘s game-worn jersey, and only one exists.

The tune was a quick win on several rankings, including some that focus entirely on rock and alternative music, where she has succeeded many times in the past.　　“Serena Joy” did manage to crave out a less-than-impressive spot within her catalog, as it missed the most important songs list in her home country. That failure has been quickly rectified, and this frame, Rodrigos latest release becomes one of the 100 most popular cuts in the United States – a feat she is used to accomplishing by this point in her career.　　Olivia Rodrigo Scores Another Billboard Hot 100 Hit　　“Serena Joy” debuts at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

Coinbase Wallet Adds Pulse Mode For Perps

Coinbase has launched Pulse Mode, a simplified mobile interface for perpetual futures trading, shortly after renaming its Base App to Coinbase Wallet. The feature gives eligible users a streamlined route to leveraged trading directly inside the self-custodial wallet, without leaving the application to use a separate exchange or platform. It marks one of the most direct consumer-facing moves yet in the companys broader push into derivatives.　　What Pulse Mode does　　Pulse Mode presents a simplified interface for opening and managing leveraged long and short positions, commonly called perps. In perpetual futures, traders take a position on an assets price without an expiry date, using leverage to amplify exposure in either direction. Coinbase Wallet remains self-custodial and supports spot crypto, tokenized assets, prediction markets, commodities, and perpetual markets together, with Pulse Mode positioned as the entry point for the derivatives side of that stack. The company has not yet published detailed fee schedules, leverage limits, or regional eligibility requirements for the new mode.　　Announcement and rollout　　Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed the feature in a September 12 post on X, sharing an image of the new interface and inviting users to download the updated application. His post did not provide technical specifications, a complete list
