Don’t 💤 on $STRIKE 👀
We’re excited to announce another liquidity injection and new all-time highs.
Over $1M in BTC is now supplied to Strike’s liquidity vaults.
Our liquidity vault (SLP) is now approaching $2M in TVL, with almost $150,000 in profits and over 40% APR. SLP is quickly becoming one of the best products in crypto.
Total protocol TVL has also surpassed $2.5M for a new all-time high.
With more coming soon 😉
@IOHK_Charles razor sharp as usual

Interesting update from
@HathorNetwork
Our new consensus finalized 61 million transactions in 10 minutes. Every validator averaged over 101,000 a second, and every transaction was confidential.
25 validators, 9 regions, 4 continents.
We ask every chain five questions about TPS. Our answers:

At 10x, my replay turned a profitable Hyperliquid trader into a losing copy.
So I rebuilt how I pick traders on @strikeperps: every check I run before copying a wallet, plus how I choose the copy mode and leverage 👇
Interesting perspective about Manchester Abu Dhabi deals.

‘A wallet address doesn't tell you who your customer is, where they live, or whether they're a business. HMRC expects you to find out.’
@MidnightNtwrk fixes this
HMRC has just published its first guidance on VAT for Bitcoin & crypto.
If you sell NFTs or digital content for Bitcoin or crypto, or run a platform that does, this one's for you.
Here's what it says.
First, the big one:
There are no special VAT rules for Bitcoin or crypto.
HMRC looks through the token to what it represents.
An NFT of digital art is treated as a sale of digital art. An NFT that unlocks a physical item follows that item.
Who it's NOT aimed at:
If you just buy, sell, hold or trade Bitcoin and other crypto as an investor, this doesn't change anything for you.
It's aimed at creators, sellers and marketplaces.
HMRC's main message:
The blockchain doesn't tell you enough for VAT.
A wallet address doesn't tell you who your customer is, where they live, or whether they're a business. HMRC expects you to find out.
For every sale you need to know 3 things:
• Who the customer is
• Where they're based
• Whether they're a business or a private individual
That decides whether VAT is due, at what rate, and in which country.
For sales to private customers, you generally need 2 pieces of evidence showing where they live.
For business customers, a VAT number works, but other evidence like a business website can also count.
HMRC's own example:
A UK artist sells NFTs for ETH (sorry) on her website.
Her first idea is to just charge UK VAT on everything.
HMRC says that's wrong.
She'd overpay on overseas sales and miss VAT she might owe abroad.
What she does instead:
• Customers create an account
• She collects location evidence
• She asks whether they're a business
• She records the £ value of each sale at the time
That's the template for any creator selling for Bitcoin or crypto.
If you run a marketplace, HMRC says you'll usually be treated as the seller for VAT, not the artist.
You only escape that if contracts and invoices name the real seller AND you don't set the terms, approve the payment or control delivery.
HMRC thinks most platforms will fail that test.
A platform that sets the rules and takes commission through a smart contract? Liable.
An artist selling direct through their own payment link with their own invoice? The artist is liable.
Got it wrong in the past?
HMRC wants errors corrected through the normal VAT error process. Don't ignore it. Penalties and interest can apply, and HMRC can register you for VAT without your agreement.
Summary:
• No special crypto VAT rules
• Look at what the token represents
• The blockchain isn't enough, collect customer info
• Record the £ value of every sale
• Platforms are usually liable
Selling NFTs or digital content for crypto? Now is the time to fix your checkout.

@IOHK_Charles deciding to selectively [not] disclose what this is yet. But sounds interesting. Plus states after Leios his original vision for Cardano will be complete. @MidnightNtwrk
I'm working on a concept that only midnight can bring to the cryptocurrency space that solves most of the problems. Almost have all of it designed conceptually. It's the magnum opus of my career

Holding $STRIKE feels a bit like owning a share in an exchange that pays out its revenue.
100% of the protocol’s perp revenue goes to stakers, with rewards distributed every 15 days. There are no staking lockups, and all tokens are already in circulation, whether they’re staked or not. Over 86% of the supply is staked, and more than $1.27M has been distributed so far.
The currently roughly 4% APR is based on the average reward per 15-day distribution compared with the token’s current value. It’s variable, of course, and depends on protocol revenue and the token price.
The part I find interesting is the potential upside: if trading volume grows while the token price stays the same, the revenue (the yield) will rise. If the market then values that revenue more highly, the token price could rise too. Meanwhile, holders are earning rewards as they wait.
That’s the thesis: share in the revenue today, with the potential for more if activity on the platform grows.

$SNEK 🐍 price has gone crazy since its 1D golden cross ✅ 🔥 🚀 🥳
Now $NIGHT token is shaping up too. Could a similar golden cross catapult it to new all time highs? Only time will tell 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 NFA DYOR 🚀🥳🔥
And there we have it.

Somebody told me if $ADA is doing well. Cardano number 1 meme $SNEK usually does well too.
So I checked. 👀
Had a quick look at the charts since the beginning of August.
ADA/USDT & SNEK/ADA
ADA is up 40% since 1st August
But SNEK has outperformed ADA by quite a bit 🐍🔥🐍🔥🐍🚀🥳
The really interesting bit, is the team have been cooking in the background during the bear market, waiting for the bull market. Is it nearly time?

IOS app imminent. Already trading volume is growing month on month exponentially. But this could be a game changer for @strikeperps
If you didn't know already. If you buy and hold $STRIKE you get a pro rata share of 100% of trading fees. No locking.
$SNEK alert 🐍🐍🐍
Retest of 1D 200sma ✅
Golden cross imminent….🔥👀

🔥 Interesting to see Strike Perp V2 hit $400M in trading volume, which generated $100K in fees.
100% fees distributed to stakers (staking unlocked).
But what if it scaled further?
📊 At 1% of Hyperliquid's volume (~$69M/day):
→ 1,000 STRIKE earns ~$293/year | ~52% APR
📊 At Hyperliquid's full volume (~$6.9B/day):
→ 1,000 STRIKE earns ~$29,250/year | ~5,184% APR
Current STRIKE price: $0.564
1,000 STRIKE costs $564
Current Strike MC = $10.2M
Early. Undervalued. 👀

*Based on current STRIKE staked (21.5M tokens), current token price ($0.564), and hypothetical volume scenarios. Not financial advice. DYOR
Can wait for this to go live 👀

A CAD file is the design a manufacturer spent years on. The moment it is sent, control over it ends.
That is the same problem as a medical record, in a different industry.
Manufacturing is moving from shipping parts to sending the recipe. Print the part where it is needed, when it is needed. Freight is the small saving. The bigger one is the specialized parts built against a forecast that never sell.
The technology is ready. 3D printing left prototyping years ago. Aerospace, turbines, medical and dental print production parts today, not samples.
It has not happened, and not because printers cannot do it. An engineer who sends a CAD file has no way to control what happens to it next. One file, unlimited prints. So the choice stays: send the file, or ship the box.
Most ship the box.
This is the gap our joint project with Würth is built to close.
