Stop trusting internal ledgers. CEX trades are just book entries. Real settlement happens on-chain. What better chain than Bitcoin? @geoburke breaks it down👇

🗓️ 2010. A handful of cypherpunks on Bitcointalk hacked together Bitcoin’s first escrow transaction. The message was clear: cut out the middlemen, via code! 15 years later, Portal brings that spirit to BTCFi → self-custody, finality, Bitcoin at the core.

Tom Lee nails it: Hacks keep exposing the fragility of centralised software. companies get crippled, trust collapses. That’s why public blockchains matter for true finality. And there’s no better chain for that than Bitcoin. Portal is bringing BTCFi to life on those rails

The true nightmare isn’t ghosts or goblins. It’s bridges, wrappers, and custodians. Portal includes none of them. Unwrapped. Unbridged. Undead. 🎃

GM Bitcoin. GM Portal! The mission doesn’t pause. Neither do we.

No vaults, no bridges, no middlemen. Every swap is a rejection of custody. Every block is a refusal of control. The rails of BTCFi don’t belong to them. They belong to you.

Empires fall the same way: promises, debt, control. Bitcoin proved value could live outside their system. Portal proves you can trade there too without asking.

Day One isn’t theory. • Lightning swaps are live • Early community testers running swaps • Genesis Block anchoring the network From here, every upgrade traces back to this moment. Learn more ⤵️ https://t.co/UrzPpQ3GsY

Collapse comes from rushing fragile rails. We take the opposite path: • Stress-test in the wild • Expand as stability is proven Bitcoin has run incorruptible for 15 years. BTCFi must be built with the same discipline.

ADL is a necessary evil in perps. @0xdoug The difference is where it happens. – On CEXs, it’s opaque the house decides who gets liquidated and when. – On-chain, it’s coded, transparent, auditable. Portal, with its Genesis Block, begins a phased rollout built to prioritise
1/ Since a lot of people are waking up to see their perps positions closed and wondering what the hell “Auto-Deleveraging” means, here’s a quick and dirty primer. What is ADL? How does it work? And why does it exist?

According to the erudite @ElonTrades Less than $100M in manipulation. Nearly $20B erased. Centralised rails are the flaw, not the foundation. And it’s why Portal’s mainnet matters.
The Oct 11 Crypto Crash — What Really Happened TL;DR: Roughly $60–90M of $USDe was dumped on Binance, along with $wBETH and $BNSOL, exploiting a pricing flaw that valued collateral using Binance’s own order-book data instead of external oracles. That localized depeg triggered

The @KobeissiLetter nailed the mechanics: too much leverage, thin liquidity, domino effect. But this is the same movie every cycle. Leverage lives on CEXs, where custody and transparency fail. Portal's mainnet launches today to build BTCFi on rails where that cycle breaks.
It's official: Crypto just saw its LARGEST liquidation event in history with 1.6 MILLION traders liquidated. Over $19 BILLION worth of leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, 9 TIMES the previous record. Why did this happen? Let us explain. (a thread)

Mt. Gox. Luna. FTX. 10 Oct '25 was Crypto’s Black Friday. $19B erased in hours. Each collapse erases billions and proves the same point: custodial trust breaks. Here’s how CT reacted… and why Portal’s mainnet launch today is a turning point.

Crypto’s history is written in collapses. The pattern is always the same: centralisation → opacity → collapse. Today, Portal mainnet launches. BTCFi built on self-custody, no middlemen. This is how the cycle finally breaks. 🧵
