📌 Cardano Founder Hoskinson Warns of U.S. Recession
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson warned that the United States faces a significant risk of recession if several global forces converge.
In a recent commentary, he said a potential AI bubble burst, combined with long-time U.S. allies shifting trade and investment toward China, could push the economy into recession.
As a result, Hoskinson argued that prolonged economic decoupling would sharply reduce U.S. consumption and could become economically catastrophic without timely policy intervention.

🔘 Hedera ($HBAR) price drops toward $0.10 despite McLaren F1 partnership
Hedera’s price fell alongside other cryptocurrencies on Friday, reaching intraday lows near $0.10.
After seeing a sharp decline on January 19, HBAR rebounded slightly to around $0.115.
However, sell-off pressure across the risk assets market has pushed bulls into the woods to leave the brief upside as a mask of a likely deeper rot.

Retrodrops - next level 🧠
Someone decided not to skimp and assembled a real farm of Solana Phones, ordering 100 phones (~ $500 each).
Yesterday, the owners received a drop of the SKR token - an average of $500 per account, and those who actively engaged in on-chain activity received $2,000-5,000 each.
As the crypto enthusiasts write on Twitter, the guy who assembled this farm ended up earning about $200k just from the SKR drop - and this is not counting all the previous drops that came to the phone owners from various ecosystem projects.
