"I underestimated how much exposure Fannie and Freddie ('F2') have to crypto, not on balance sheet, but in their shareholder bases," Ackman said on X.

The shift was subtle, then sudden. For weeks, the riskiest trades in finance - crypto, AI stocks, meme names, high-octane momentum bets - had been slipping. On Thursday, that slow-motion retreat snapped. The Nasdaq 100 sank nearly 5% from its intraday peak, its sharpest reversal since April.

More than $1tn (760bn) has been wiped off the value of the cryptocurrency market in the past six weeks amid fears of a tech bubble and fading expectations for a US rate cut next month.

Michael Prime sought to recover his belongings from police custody following his release from prison, including a bright orange external hard drive that he claimed held 3,443 Bitcoins. The Secret Service sent letters to Prime after his release, saying he could have some of his devices back, which would be wiped if he provided them with relevant passwords within 30 days.

Yes, the president lied and blustered and then lied again. But the abiding impression conveyed by the session was the fact that it was a perfect view of the way CBS News is circling the drain. Remember when the network caved to the president to the tune of $16 million rather than fight a preposterous case regarding CBS having edited an interview with Kamala Harris?

"AI has been a great force multiplier for somebody who's an expert," said Yakovenko, describing his experience with agentic coding after more than 15 years developing software. "Now I can just watch Claude churning through its thing and I can almost smell when it's going off the rails."

On the latest episode of Crypto Playbook (available on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube), Fortune journalist Ben Weiss-who has covered the Trump crypto empire from the inside-broke down how it is in fact a stable of separate businesses."

Copy trading has become an appealing option for individuals who want to participate in the market without spending extensive time analysing charts, and for good reason, as instead of learning technical analysis yourself, this option allows you to copy professional traders' strategies in real time. However, a question that may come to mind is whether copy trading is genuinely profitable.

The ricochet in crypto prices follows a disastrous Friday that saw more than $19 billion in traders' positions evaporate.
