🚨 $ORCA Arbitrage Alert | 20% Premium on Korean Exchange

[Key Data]
🔹 Upbit Spot Price: 8,686 KRW (~5.94)🔸BinanceSpotPrice:5.94)🔸BinanceSpotPrice:4.808
🔹 Futures Price: $3.43
🔸 Funding Rate: -2% (lasting 4 hours)

[Current Situation]
1️⃣ Korean Premium: Upbit price is 20% higher than Binance, driven by Korean FOMO
2️⃣ Withdrawal Restrictions: Binance suspended withdrawals, limiting spot liquidity
3️⃣ Short Squeeze Pressure: High funding rate, increasing costs for short positions

[Potential Opportunities]
• Cross-exchange Arbitrage: Price gap may narrow quickly if withdrawals resume
• Futures Hedging: High funding rate increases risks for shorting
• Sentiment Play: Can the Korean premium sustain?

[Risk Warning]
• Withdrawal resumption timing uncertain
• High premium may trigger sell-offs
• Futures price deviation from spot increases volatility

Analysis of Recent BTC Transfer Events from Mt. Gox
Timeline and Key Developments:

Small Test Transaction (10 minutes ago)
0.000017 BTC transferred to Kraken deposit address: This very small transfer may be a test of the transaction channel, similar to the small test model in July 2024 (e.g., 0.021 BTC transfer), used to verify address validity or the exchange integration process. If the test is successful, larger compensation transfers may be initiated later.

893.41 BTC Transferred to New Address (1FodP...b28DB)
Usage Speculation: Combined with other transfer records from today (March 25, 2025), the 893.41 BTC may be related to the same batch transferred to hot wallets, intended for subsequent compensation to creditor trading platforms (such as BitGo or partner exchanges). The compensation process typically involves transferring BTC from cold wallets to hot wallets, then distributing to creditors.

"FED DROPS ECONOMIC BOMBSHELLS 💣 Powell plays hawkish DJ at 2AM – NO March rate cuts, but sneaky QE-lite move! 🕶️

🚨 Key Fire Alarms:
• "Dot Plot" Still Shows 2x 2025 Cuts (Same copium as December)
• QT Slowed to $5B/month – Secret money printer go BRRR? 📉→📈
• 2024 Forecasts:

GDP Growth ⬇️ 2.1% → 1.7% (Recession vibes)

Core PCE ⬆️ 2.5% → 2.8% (Inflation time bomb)

Unemployment ⬆️ 4.3% → 4.4% (Soft landing? More like crash landing)

📌 Reality Check:
The Fed just admitted their "Goldilocks economy" fairytale is dead ☠️ – Now hedging bets with stealth money printing while pretending to fight inflation. When did "transitory" become "permanent"? 🤡

Crypto Angle: BTC hodlers eyeing June rate cut odds – Will this liquidity drip fuel the next leg up? 🚀 Or is stagflation the real black swan? 🦢

Our priorities this week -- they remain the same

1. Better onchain UX in frames

2. Improved invite flow / cheaper sign ups

3. Snapchain

4. App performance / bug fixes

Why did my follower account decrease?

1. Yesterday, we changed how Warpcast counts followers by excluding users our algorithm flags as spammy.

2. Twitter (at least historically) and Instagram both do this.

3. We've had an uptick in spam recently, so as part of improving our spam models we decided to make this change.

4. View this less as losing followers and more us giving you a more accurate (but not perfectly accurate!) view of your audience. 

5. There are additional improvements we can make here and we will likely do that over the coming weeks and months.

6. Important: this change only affects Warpcast’s display—it doesn’t alter protocol data; those accounts still follow you. And if you follow a spammy account, i.e. you don't find it spammy, you'll see their casts.

7. Third-party apps can access Warpcast’s open-source spam labels.

8. Please see the next cast for other thoughts I've shared.

Tap "invites" in the top right corner of the app to open this.

Priorities this week

1) Make it easy to do stuff onchain — frames + wallet; this is the differentiating thing for Farcaster and we will continue to lean into this

2) Growth — rewards + invites + new user onboarding flow — make it more likely people invite new users and they stick around

3) Protocol upgrades — make it easier for other apps with existing users to integrate Farcaster

4) Creator onboarding — outreach and onboarding to help increase / diversify the amount of interesting content on the network

Yo, peeps, AXIE’s at it again! The blockchain gaming GOAT just dropped a new game, and it’s basically free money falling from the sky! We’ve gotta jump on this—imagine it pops off, and we’re sitting pretty flipping pre-reg accounts for cash. Sweet deal, right?
 Signing up’s stupid easy—just slap in a wallet or email (27-day countdown, folks, don’t sleep on it): https://axieinfinity.com/pre-register/?ref=lkt7df9y
 Here’s the loot you might score with pre-reg—check this out:
 1 Mystery Axie (used to be 500U each, big flex)
 5 Origins Axies
 10 Japanese Axies
 Possibly some extra juicy rewards (you know AXIE loves throwing curveballs)
Fam, don’t drag your feet—this is a now-or-never vibe. Catch me laughing to the bank while you’re still thinking about it!

Our current plan

1. Grow the number of daily active users on Farcaster

2. This benefits creators because they have a larger potential audience

3. This also benefits developers because they have a large potential user base

4. Super joining Warpcast allows us to invest more time on growth (no. 1)

5. Base bringing Farcaster into Coinbase Wallet—an app that has millions of existing users—helps with growth (no. 1)

6. We’re working on several big growth initiatives—both product-led (Woj will be helping with this!) and marketing / sales led (more announcements here soon!)

7. We’re investing more time in outbound messaging. You’ve likely seen our X / Twitter account get more active recently. Will be doing more here as well.

Any boost is appreciated

Super excited to have @ted join the team!

She took a bet on Farcaster early, did an amazing job with FarCon, Dev Day and a bunch of other growth initiatives last year.

She's going to be working with me to help accelerate growth and outbound marketing.

LFG!
