A deleted tweet from a conversation between UFC analyst Daniel Cormier and Eric Trump and a prediction market based on millions of open interests. Bitcoin is trading near $65,800, up about +2% in the last 24 hours after a brutal week, but the story shaking crypto circles right now has nothing to do with price charts.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier appears to have posted, then quickly deleted, screenshots of a direct message exchange with Eric Trump ahead of UFC Freedom 250, the White House grass-court fight card.
In a now-deleted post, Daniel Cormier called out Eric Trump for asking him if one of the UFC fights at the White House was fixed:
"I’m probably going to get a lot of flak for bringing this to light, but I refuse to stay silent… Shame on anyone who tries to ruin this beautiful… pic.twitter.com/0GldF9HOOG

In a now-deleted post, Daniel Cormier called out Eric Trump for asking him if one of the UFC fights at the White House was fixed:In the purported messages, Trump reaches out to Cormier and asks him about the fights: “Anything you can tell me about tomorrow’s fighters? Who did you win?” Cormier’s message denounced what he called “insider behavior,” writing: “I refuse to remain silent…Shame on anyone who tries to spoil this great event.” » The message disappeared shortly after.
No major media outlets have confirmed the authenticity of the screenshots and no verifiable evidence of manipulation by Polymarket has surfaced in the past 48 hours. But optics does its own job, and in tight prediction markets, optics moves money.
In fact, I think Eric Trump or Daniel Cormier was hacked here. It just doesn’t feel real. There are much better ways for Eric Trump to make illicit money than trying to bet on the UFC in a thinly negotiated polymarket contract.

Can Bitcoin Reclaim $70,000 This Week After Eric Trump’s ‘Fake’ Drama?
Bitcoin’s nearly +4% rise over the past seven days, which some analysts attribute to a possible U.S.-Iran peace deal being closer than ever, has left the chart in a short-term bullish phase, raising the question of whether it can be sustainable. The asset is stabilizing, but stabilizing is not the same as recovering.
Current support lies in the $64,000-$65,000 area, the local demand area that absorbed selling pressure over the weekend, according to CoinGecko data and TradingView Analysts. Deeper structural support is concentrated between $60,000 and $62,000. Resistance lies between $68,000 and $70,000, where significant spot and derivatives selling appeared earlier this month.

Three scenarios from here:
- Case of the bull: BTC holds support at $64,000, dip buyers absorb remaining selling pressure and price moves back towards resistance at $68,000-$70,000. Stabilization of ETF inflows would support this reading.
- Reference case: BTC ranges between $64,000 and $68,000 for the next 7-10 days as the market digests macroeconomic data and political noise. From the side, not explosive.
- Bear/invalidation: A daily close below $64,000 opens the door to the $60,000-$62,000 support band. Analyst targets of $80,000 to $100,000 for the next major leg remain broadly valid, but would first require a confirmed breakout above $70,000.
LiquidChain Aims for Early Moves Upside as Bitcoin Tests Key Levels
With Bitcoin’s upside seemingly capped in the single digits and the prediction market everyone was talking about raising questions about its integrity thanks to Eric Trump, some traders are starting to analyze the risk curve earlier. This is the environment LiquidChain is launching into, and the contrast is stark.
LiquidChain (LIQUID) is a Layer 3 (L3) infrastructure project, an execution environment built on top of existing blockchains, that merges Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single layer.
The problem it targets is real: most DeFi (decentralized finance) capital is stuck in siled ecosystems, forcing developers to build separately for each chain and requiring users to link assets manually.
LiquidChain’s unified liquidity layer and single-deployment architecture aims to eliminate this friction. Developers deploy a single contract; the protocol handles the rest across the three networks.
The presale is priced at $0.0147 and has raised $841,128.18 to date. Early coverage focused on its cross-chain execution model as a differentiated technical angle in a crowded L3 space.
Verifiable settlement, the on-chain confirmation of every cross-chain transaction, is the functionality that separates protocol-level promises from marketing.
