Falcon Finance is a synthetic dollar DeFi protocol backed by DWF Labs. Users deposit BTC, ETH, SOL, stables, or RWAs to mint USDf, then stake it to earn sUSDf (~9–10% APY).
Products: USDf – synthetic dollar sUSDf – yield-bearing USDf #FF – governance token Funding: $24M Backed by DWF Labs + World Liberty Financial ($10M, Trump-backed) FF has no revenue sharing, governance only.
Price Action: IDO Price: $0.045 ATH: $0.67 Current: ~$0.095 (Down 80%+ from ATH, but still ~2x from IDO )
Chart View: Structure remains bearish. Possible 20–50% more downside before next leg up. Potential accumulation zone: $0.05–0.03 Long term, $0.5–$1 is possible, but it will take time and improved transparency.
Bull: fast TVL growth, high yields, RWA narrative, strong listings Bear: DWF controversy, USDf depeg history, off-chain reserves, heavy unlocks
U.S. Senators Elissa Slotkin (D) and Jerry Moran (R) have introduced the SAFE Crypto Act: A bipartisan bill to crack down on crypto scams.
What it does: Creates a federal task force combining Treasury, DOJ, Secret Service, and blockchain intelligence firms to track and stop crypto fraud in real-time.
Why now: The FBI reported $9.3 billion lost to crypto scams in 2024: up 66% from the previous year.
A top Russian lawmaker just made it crystal clear: #Bitcoin and #crypto will never be accepted as payment for goods and services in Russia.
Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the State Duma's Financial Markets Committee, told TASS: "Cryptocurrencies will never become money in Russia. They can only be used as an investment instrument."
Key points: → All domestic payments must be in rubles only → Crypto allowed strictly as investment assets → This aligns with Russia's 2020 law banning crypto payments → However, crypto IS permitted for international trade (to bypass sanctions)
Russia continues walking a fine line, Embracing crypto for cross-border deals while keeping it firmly out of everyday transactions.
$COS Market structure is clearly bearish: Consecutive Lower Highs and Lower Lows show sellers remain in control. After the impulsive sell-off, price is now expected to pull back into an overlapping resistance zone, where supply has previously stepped in.
Strategy: Patience first. Wait for price to tap the overlap and show clear rejection (upper wick or bearish close). That rejection is the trigger for continuation to the downside.
Clean setup. Clean execution. No confirmation, no trade.
