Fake News. As we watched the stock markets doom spiral on Monday, an X user named “Walter Bloomberg” decided to do the funniest thing ever, posting what was then a rumor that Trump had announced a 90-day pause in tariffs. The hit tweet (now deleted) was then picked up by CNBC and Reuters in quick succession. The markets jumped 10% on the news before the White House denied it, moving trillions of dollars of value. Folks, this is called news laundering, and if you work in crypto, it’s just another Monday afternoon!

As of 10 minutes ago, an actual 90-day pause was officially announced, starting Walter Bloomberg’s redemption arc.

Crime Time. In a move that surprised no one, the Melania “memecoin team” has sold $30M worth of the $Melania token. In totally unrelated news, the Department of Justice has disbanded its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and ordered the Major Frauds Unit to cease cryptocurrency enforcement, effective immediately.

Quick Hits.

• Apple flies in 5 planes full of iPhones to avoid tariffs. Rent is due!

• Bezos’ ‘all-female space flight’ takes off next week, with passengers Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez promising to “put the ass in astronaut.”

• My quants are lowkey cooking after tariffs.

• Depression indicator?
