Yesterday, our industry witnessed something unprecedented. In the past, when a CEX faced negative news, users could still freely move their assets to another platform. But this time, many users discovered something alarming: They were not unable to leave HTX — they suddenly had nowhere to go. Following the UK sanctions-related concerns around HTX, some third-party risk-control systems broadly labeled wallets interacting with HTX as “high risk.” As a result, many normal users experienced: restricted transfers, blocked transactions, and in some extreme cases, frozen accounts on other platforms simply for depositing funds from HTX. This level of large-scale, indiscriminate risk control against ordinary users is unprecedented in crypto history. What makes this even more troubling is: HTX itself is operating normally. Trading, deposits, withdrawals, and OTC services are all functioning as usual. But somehow, the users became the problem. And that is something the entire industry should reflect on. Because the people being affected are not “HTX users” alone. They also trade on Binance, OKX, Bybit, Coinbase, and many others. They belong to the crypto industry as a whole. If concerns exist around a platform, then measures should target the platform itself — not ordinary users through broad collateral damage. At the moment, HTX withdrawals remain fully operational. Users can still move assets on-chain. But if users eventually feel safer keeping funds only on-chain, or exiting entirely through OTC markets, then this is no longer an HTX issue. It becomes a crisis of trust for all centralized exchanges. And in a market already struggling with weak confidence, this could cause lasting damage to the entire industry. To put it simply: Crypto can survive without HTX. But crypto cannot survive without user trust. We want to clearly state: HTX fully supports compliance efforts and is actively cooperating with all relevant parties to resolve misunderstandings as quickly as possible. We respect the need for exchanges to follow compliance requirements. But we also believe ordinary users should not become victims of flawed or overly broad risk-control systems. Therefore, we sincerely call on all exchanges and industry partners to: 1️⃣ Work together with third-party security and compliance providers to address the current situation affecting users, and improve industry-wide risk-control standards. 2️⃣ Implement more precise review mechanisms for normal users interacting with HTX, so legitimate funds and users are not unfairly impacted. HTX is fully willing to cooperate throughout this process. Finally, to everyone who still trusts HTX and continues to keep assets on our platform: Thank you. HTX will not run away. We will stay here, face the situation directly, and continue working until these issues are fully resolved.

Yesterday back stage with Calvin Harris was so much fun 😍 I love living in Vegas 🥰 How’s your weekend going? 💙 #ClassyHouseWife# 💍 See it all on my IG & Snapchat 👇🏽

Yesterday, Megyn Kelly went on her podcast and called out the Trump administration for feeding Axios a fake war pretext on Cuba. Her words: “Cuba is not about to attack us.” “Cuba cannot keep the lights on or the ICU units in their hospitals powered.” She called the story “a bunch of bulls—.” Axios itself buried this line at the bottom of its own report: U.S. officials “don’t believe Cuba is an imminent threat.” The CIA Director was just in Havana. The DOJ is preparing to indict 94-year-old Raul Castro. Trump says we could “take over Cuba almost immediately.” Eleven weeks ago, the administration ran the same playbook on Iran. That war is still going.

Yesterday’s Central Texas Regional Freedom Cell meetup at Lab484 in Austin was absolutely FIRE. 45-50 freedom-minded people gathering in REAL LIFE around Exit & Build, real relationships, real community, real money, and real solutions. We talked about opting OUT of broken systems and building something better together. No doomscrolling. No arguing online. Just real people having real conversations, learning, connecting, and taking action. This is what I live for.

Yesterday in Tallinn, at the Lennart Meri Conference, I shared Moldova’s lessons from the frontline of our fight for democracy. Thank you for an engaging conversation, @JakovMilatovic @AymanHsafadi @HiskiHaukkala and @SylvieKauffmann — and to @AlarKaris for the invitation.

Yesterday I posted my observations on the new X algorithm in a community-explainer style The post got read literally. Every claim treated as a verified technical fact That wasn't the intent, but it landed that way, and the responsibility for that is mine I deleted the post A more rigorous version is coming where I walk through the actual code line by line and show what genuinely impacts reach The previous version wasn't engagement farming or audience-misleading. It was an attempt to translate technical code into plain English The lesson: I framed observations as if they were verified mechanisms. Next post separates the two cleanly @nikitabier and the X team are doing real work on this platform The current algorithm is fair, and I'm confident it gets better from here Next post on this topic ships with the receipts

Yesterday Trump 🇺🇸: Xi Jinping is a dictator. He's sending weapons to Iran. He wants instability. I'm putting permanent sanctions on China." Today Trump 🇺🇸: "He's a beautiful ruler, not a dictator. He's China's president. I don't think about that. He's very smart. He loves his country. I respect him." He had flipped for the 101st time and will flip again tomorrow. 🤣 He has completely lost his mind.
