  Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulin and toxin, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

  Well, Itoro is acquiring self-custody wallet startup Zengo for about $70 million, bringing non-custodial wallet tech in-house as it pushes deeper into on-chain finance and expands beyond brokerage into a fuller crypto stack. Zengo, founded in 2018, uses multi-party computation instead of seed phrases and offers swaps, staking, and decentralized app access. The company says it has more than 2 million users globally and has not suffered a wallet hack since launch. The deal gives Itoro a direct entry into self-custody as it looks toward longer-term opportunities like tokenized assets, prediction markets, and perpetuals with CEO Yoni Asia framing self-custody as core to a more decentralized financial system. The acquisition comes during a broader growth stretch for Itoro following its NASDAQ

  debut, stronger fourth-quarter profitability helped partly by crypto derivatives and its recent rollout of crypto trading in New York after getting a bit license. Zengo had also been expanding, adding inheritance-style recovery for digital assets, acquiring stablecoin wallet Minky, raising $20 million in 2021, and later pursuing more funding at a $100 million valuation. Well, 21Shares has filed a second amended S1 with the SEC for its Hyperliquid ETF, a sign it is still actively working through the approval process and moving closer to what could become the first spot ETF tied to Hyperliquid's Hype token. The filing says the fund is expected to list on NASDAQ under the ticker THYP, and it also lays out seed mechanics.

• 4:27Speaker 00

  21Shares US LLC bought two seed shares at $50 each on March 18th, redeemed them the following week, and plans an initial seed creation basket of 20,000 shares. At $25 each to acquire hype ahead of listing. One notable detail is that the fund plans to stake a meaningful portion of its hype holdings, generally targeting between 30% and 70%, though that could vary over time. The amendment did not disclose a sponsor fee. The filing lands in a growing race to launch hyper liquid products. Well, Societe Generale Forge, the digital asset arm of France's third largest bank, is bringing its MICA compliant dollar stablecoin USD Coinveritable or USD CV into MetaMask through a partnership with Consensus, putting it on a shortlist of supported stablecoins across MetaMask's mobile and web products.

  The integration will let users use USD CV for fiat on and off ramps, crypto trading, DeFi access, and even gas payments through MetaMask's gas station feature. Well, Bitmine reported a $3.8 billion net loss for the quarter and more than $9 billion in losses for the six-month period, with the damage driven almost entirely by $3.7 billion in unrealized losses on its digital asset holdings rather than operating weakness. At the same time, the company's revenue rose sharply to $11 million from $1.5 million a year earlier, with about $10 million coming from ETH staking rewards. Bitmine has kept aggressively adding to its Ethereum treasury, holding 4.8 million ETH as of April 12th worth about $10 billion,

  or just over 4% of total ETH supply, making it the largest corporate Ethereum holder. The company says it has now staked about 68% of its holdings and is projecting $212 million in annualized staking revenue based on a 3% seven-day yield. Chairman Tom Lee said Bitmine sees the recent pullback as attractive and believes ETH's price still does not reflect its long-term utility, while also saying the firm's goal is to reach 5% of total Ether supply. Well, ahead of his Senate Banking Committee confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh disclosed a broad portfolio of crypto-related investments, including stakes in Polymarket and more than 20 other crypto-linked entities, a detail likely to draw attention as lawmakers weigh his nomination. According to his ethics filing, those holdings include positions in DYDX,

• 6:37Speaker 00

  lighter, poly-chain, dapper labs, Solana, Optimism, and smaller startups like Ulyth, Lemon Cash, Onjuno, and Ridian. The hearing comes as Senate Republicans signal they want to move his nomination. Through committee and to a floor vote in the coming weeks, even as Jerome Powell's term nears its end in May and a separate Justice Department probe into Powell remains a political complication. Warsh has previously said Bitcoin is an important asset that can help inform policymakers and his crypto ties go beyond passive investing, including early involvement with the failed Algorithmic Stablecoin project basis and advisory and investor roles with crypto asset manager Bitwise.
