Today's discussion on HYPERLIQUID mainly focused on the release of HyperEVM, triggering excitement and mixed reactions within the community.

FTT
Today's discussion about FTT is mainly focused on the news that FTX has started reimbursing users, with $800 million already distributed to 162,000 accounts, marking a significant step in the recovery process since the 2022 crash. The reimbursements are being processed through platforms like Kraken and Bitgo, with users reporting that they have received the funds. This development has sparked discussions about the potential impact on the crypto market, with some speculating about liquidity injection and its effect on Bitcoin and other altcoins.

Since the brief endorsement of $LIBRA by the president of Argentina, there has been widespread discussion about the interest group behind the entire Solana ecosystem MEME coin, with a venture capital firm called Kelsier Ventures coming to light. On the surface, it is a VC firm focused on investing and market promotion in the Web3 space, but in reality, it has been exposed as an insider team orchestrating meme coin projects, not only $LIBRA but also deeply involved in $MELANIA (Melania Trump coin). As the Kelsier Ventures scandal continues to unfold, more and more insider trading, fund transfers, and political entanglements are coming to light. Who is Kelsier Ventures? What is their background? And who are the key players involved?

On the afternoon of February 18, the somewhat dormant "CZ's Dog" narrative suddenly became active, and around 6 p.m., a new $BROCCOLI was released. It quickly surged in a short period of time, skyrocketing to a market cap of 50M within an hour and a half, and currently stabilizing around 10M. The token's explosion is not only a Renaissance but also closely related to the recent $LIBRA and "charity rescue."
