Lighter's LIT is up about 17% this week on record whale buying, a Robinhood Chain launch and a switch to token burns. We pulled the chain ourselves: 69% of the supply sits in just 10 wallets and only a quarter is circulating. Here is the reality behind the rally.
Following the narrative Ansem started with The Black Bull ($ANSEM), a community member sent a big share of a new token to the wallet DEXTools uses for Social Boost. Instead of ignoring it, we leaned in. Welcome to The DEXTools Bull ($DEXBULL): Social Boost revenue now funds community buybacks and airdrops to holders, with a ticket system that rewards holding and social support.
About $2M of ETH became $14,500 in a single Ethereum swap on July 7, a 99% loss to price impact and a same-block backrun. We checked the pool it hit on-chain, it holds roughly $40,000. Here is the math, and how to never let it happen to you.
An attacker spent roughly $4M on BONK to control a DAO vote, then passed a proposal that drained about 4.4 trillion BONK, near $20M, from the BonkDAO treasury. We read the chain: the funds hit the attacker's wallet and were gone within hours.
$ANSEM has overtaken $TRUMP in market cap, roughly $417M to $400M. We pulled the on-chain numbers: the flip is real because nearly all of ANSEM circulates while most of TRUMP is locked, but by fully diluted value TRUMP is still 4x bigger.
A DeFi vault on Summer.fi was drained of about $6M on July 6. We read the chain: the exact 6,016,755 DAI is still parked in the attacker's wallet, unmoved and unlaundered. Here is the on-chain trail.
Around 82.5 billion PUMP, near $135M, unlock on July 12. We pulled the on-chain supply and pool liquidity ourselves: the cliff is about eight times bigger than every PUMP pool combined, and the buyback meant to absorb it clears only about $3.9M a week.
The memecoin mania is down roughly 75% from its 2024 peak, yet about 68,000 new tokens still launch every day. We pulled the on-chain data to answer honestly whether memecoins are dead, and the truth is in the survival rate.
The Astronaut Bull ($JUSTIN) says it handed 55% of its supply to a wallet belonging to Justin Sun, betting the billionaire TRON founder eventually engages. The link is not yet confirmed on-chain. We pulled the data on why the thesis is more coherent than most, and the one event that would prove it.
Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock and 140 others are backing Open USD to take on Circle. We pulled the stablecoin supply straight from Ethereum to show what is actually at stake, and why USDC is the target.
Robinhood Chain launched in July 2026 as an Arbitrum-based Ethereum Layer 2. The rails are open to everyone, but the tokenized stocks it is famous for are not. Here is what it is, who can actually use it, and how to bridge ETH safely.
Hyperliquid unlocks 9.92 million HYPE to contributors on July 6. We read the on-chain balances: the protocol's buyback fund already holds about 4.6 times that amount, and June's identical unlock did not trigger the selloff many feared.
