The network said operators should move to BSC v1.7.2 and remove outdated settings to keep nodes running normally. BNB Chain developers said node operators must complete the update before the Osaka/Mendel hard…

Justin Sun has accused World Liberty Financial, or WLFI, of hiding controls that could freeze token holders’ wallets. Summary Justin Sun said WLFI hid blacklist controls that could freeze wallets without notice or recourse.

The claims add new pressure to the project as onchain activity, borrowing patterns, and token losses draw more attention. Sun said he backed WLFI because it presented itself as a decentralized finance platform built to expand…

Here’s a number I think about a lot: $10,000 invested in the S&P 500 in 1990 became $150,000 by 2024. No stock picking. No timing. No genius. Just buying an index and waiting. In rupee terms, the returns are even better because the rupee depreciated from ₹17/dollar in 1990 to ₹85+ in 2026. That $150,000 is roughly ₹1.28 crore — from ₹1.7 lakh. A 75x return. I came to S&P 500 investing embarrassingly late. I spent years picking Nifty stocks, tracking quarterly results — and my 5-year CAGR was 11%. The S&P 500 did 12.2% in dollars in the same…

Tesla hit $489 in December 2025. As I write this in April 2026, it’s at $349. That’s a 29% decline in four months that every Indian investor holding TSLA on Vested or INDmoney watched helplessly — because not a single Indian retail platform other than CoinDCX lets you short a US stock. If you’d held ₹5 lakh of Tesla on Vested since December, you’ve lost roughly ₹1.45 lakh in paper value. If you’d shorted TSLA on CoinDCX at $450 with 3x leverage on ₹50,000 margin in early January, you’d have made approximately ₹1,00,000 in profit. Same stock. Same move. Opposite…

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci told the crypto community not to panic as Bitcoin faced fresh pressure. In a post on X, he…
