(Dinarian Note: This message from December 2021, is one of spirits most powerful messages. I feel compelled to post this so you can read this closely as it is more important today than it was back then, especially pertaining to both crypto and the extremely POWERFUL Metatron prayer.)

A MEMO FROM SPIRIT - IT HAS BEGUN Predictions from Michelle Whitedove — Michelle Whitedove

Spirit is reminding us, this is a great revolution, and it has begun.  It’s not just on one side of the pond or the other. This is a worldwide revolution coming from the people saying “No, you are not in charge of my body, my freedoms, my speech and my personal rights.”  In the USA they are saying “You're breaking the constitution and our God-given human rights” as stated in this excerpt of our Constitution;  

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government
 

and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” 

Powerful and inspirational right?

Now where global politics are concerned, you have the right hand and the left hand:

the opposing sides and they don't know what the opposition is planning and so they can't agree on anything because there is much chaos and corruption among them. But both sides they think they're untouchable. They think no one would ever dare go to their government headquarters or to their homes. But it’s happening and the mass numbers will increase with grand protests. They will march into Washington DC too. Well, the government better think again, because my vision shows me the Statue of Liberty on the ground. My vision shows me that New York City and all its people will come out in protest. The Government doesn’t have enough weapons, not enough equipment, not enough of military personnel; Marines, Navy seals, Army  to go against the 331 Million people of America!

All of the countries around the globe  - those military armies, whether they're on land, at sea, at war, wherever they may be; they, themselves are not prepared for a world revolution. This is beyond rioting, theft and dangerous neighborhoods of No Go Zones that police don't come to, and paramedics wont visit. We're talking about how it really is in the world, how the citizens are locked down in their house, and they can't go get medical treatments, some help and things they need.  Right now it has started, countries are segregating the human population based solely on their vaccination status. YES it is happening!!  Don’t think it won’t come to your neighborhood, because that is the master plan.

For us here in the USA we don’t see it on the Corporate News Channels that’s sponsored by the Big Drug Companies.  Around the globe the governments don’t want you to know the truth of the lock downs and the huge protests - It is hidden from us, you can’t even google it because the censorship is so prevalent. Unless you are there in the middle of a communist take-over you may not realize the big picture – but you can find the videos on alternative platforms.  They are using FEAR, over-reaction and segregation to manipulate the population to bend our WILL to the Communist One World agenda. Don’t be deceived.

Do you know what is happening in Australia, New Zealand, Hungary, Canada, Austria, Germany, Italy 
 and other countries? Find out, do your research, be appalled and speak up because they are coming to your State too!   Look for the protest VIDEOS on alternative platforms such as Rumble, Telegram, LiveWire, Brighteon.com

Today it’s important to have to have a plan A, B, C  and plan D is never good, people need to think out of their box, their bubble, because everything is in flux and plans are ever shifting. Most organized religions - church and state are one and the same, driven by money. Just know that your spirituality is separate from dogmatic religion.

MONEY MARKETS and CRYPTOS
Use your God given resources and abilities to influence the markets. It’s vitally important for the crypto users and believers to blend their spirituality with their mindset to help their cryptocurrency investments succeed because through God, through the grace of God anything's possible.  Yes, God gave us theta; you were prompted to buy it right? Spirit gave you Theta and Persistence too.  We were given Theta and Persistence so that We The People would have a financial cushion during these uncertain times and these projects are good for humanity also.

Don’t react out of FEAR or FOMO.  You have to know when the hold, fold, walk away. Stick with your crypto plan so that you don’t react out of emotions.  Yes, we had this mini crash or dip but don’t sell now! Hold on, be strong. be patient. Have faith. Have trust in God. Pray and Meditate because you will be in tune with your higher consciousness – the part of us that is always connected to Spirit. Do these things daily because It raises your vibration meaning it raises your Spirit. Give thanks, and count your blessings!! Do this with your bank accounts too! Abundance is yours!

Anyone that you get around that doesn't have a vibration like yours, you will want to move away from that person and their negativity. Chaos within the home is not good.  Go with your instincts. Go within. This is the time. In your darkest hour, know that you are never alone, know that you are closer to God than you've ever been. For God is giving you everything that you need within you, outside you, everything mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically. Stay centered – stay prayerful, gather your loved ones to pray and encourage meditation. Households in-tune and like-minded will give you a loving peaceful environment in which to thrive and grow.


SPIRIT SAYS
This is a state of emergency; a worldwide 9-1-1 and it does not just affect this world, it affects worlds within worlds. We have globalists with an agenda taking advantage of this so-called medical induced “shutdown" with a secondary plan “Let's restart civilization”, lets Build It Back Better – which is a cloaked scheme for world-wide government control.   When these leaders, decided to be vague and spoon feed the plan to the citizens and to the people, the good people of the world have no clue of exactly what that means.  Even they themselves, the Shadow Global Government, does not know what they're going to do next because they are too are fearful of the people globally and those that have rights to carry arms. They know us, especially us that are independent thinkers – critical thinkers that know our RIGHTS, we're not just going to take this and we're not going to roll over. We're not just going to give everything we've done our whole life and say, "Here you go." The WEF [World Economic Forum] has announced their motto for the global future “You will own nothing and you will be Happy”. Of course that will only apply to the citizens [not to the elite] but We The People will not give up, we will not reward their glee, gluttony, and greed. Enough is enough.

Humanitarians, it is time to put your hand out to your fellow man. We are all this in this together. It's full circle, baby and the world is not that big of a place. Right now it's upside down and it's spinning in the wrong direction. And if there's ever a time in the world that we need God and we need mercy - it's now.  So good people, reach out to help those in need. Speak up and educate others. Do what you can, but step outside of your comfort zone – for this is where personal growth happens.
If there's ever time to pray for the world, Pray for your loved ones, Pray for your country and meditate – NOW is the time. You don't have to go to a church or temple. You don't have to utilize these dogmatic manmade systems of different religions. All you have to do is come from your heart, speak to Spirit just like you would a loving parent.  Turn your problems over to God, for Spirit has solutions greater than you can imagine [although Never tell Spirit HOW TO fix your problems].  Shield yourself up in prayer daily – it makes a huge difference my friends.  The Metatron Prayer is a powerful 3-D prayer of protection and abundance that I hope you utilize.  The spiritual practice of prayer, visualization and faith in action help you to create positive results in your life. Within a blink of any eye you can manifest your dreams that fast. And in this time, with the veil thin between Heaven and Earth: live a wholesome life with good intentions, by your thoughts, by your good deeds and know that what you visualize, you can materialize.

With that said, the same goes for your negative thought patterns. Just like a hypochondriac can manifest sickness 
 you can bring your greatest fears to life. So do NOT focus on fears. Focus on positive solutions. Because the more you fear something then you bring that to you. Spirit says, focusing on your fears is like praying for the negative to happen. The more that you wish and pray for something good with good intentions. Make a plan, and then you finally get off your butt and you take action steps to make it happen; we are co-creators of our reality and can bring dreams to fruition.

You know, I can't stand to see anything hurt, much less babies, puppies, children and innocent women, good men, whales, dolphin, call it what you want - All life, all of God's wondrous souls that he created. He created with reason, purpose, balance and perfection. We are children of God, please, for the love of God, wake up. Stand up. 

Stand up united, we stand united or separate we fall. Please stand up for your rights. Stand up for yourself. Stand up for your family. Stand up for your children, your grandchildren and their future.  Warning, if you do not stand up now, there is no future that is acceptable, for I “SEE” three probable futures. We all have to do this. We are not alone in this. We are together. Please, I ask of all of you.  Do Not Comply with Passports, they are the end of freedoms. When you need travel papers within your city – then you are no longer free!  Get the shot or don't get the shot, that's your personal choice, but do not go along with these forced mandates. Know that this is a slippery slope to forced shots for EVERYTHING! Do you want a mandated shot 1,2,3,4,5,6 ?  When you decide that you’ve had enough and you SAY No to shot #5, well then you are back to being considered UnVaxxed and a segregated citizen?  Your good health is dictated by you, it’s a very personal choice. My peeps we’ve been on a Vitamin Protocol since the beginning – I’ve been building my immune system and I hope that you are too. My medical treatments are neither up to the local Government nor the shadow government. God does not ordain a forced shot system. That is a personal choice. God gave us our free will. So you can do what's best for you. Our free-will is our gift. And some may say it's a curse, But it is our right to choose. We came down here to Earth with that God-Given Birth Right. Amen.

Sure they want to make it difficult, they want to segregate you from your loved ones, your career, and transportation, and eventually the basics of food and water if you don’t comply.  Well it’s a sham. People of the world, enjoy the breath that you are breathing, that oxygen because it's not just that, its radiation and bioweapons. It's that tinkle, tinkle, what they drop from the sky. There are many airborne chemicals that humans are not aware of. The shadow government Does Not have your best interest at heart. They want to over-tax you, take away your financial freedom and your right to liberty, freedom of speech, the right to work and even your right to retire by stealing your pensions and social security that you paid for with your hard work.  Be forewarned, be aware, be prepared, but insist on your freedoms.

This is a critical time in our human history.  It is a war of good against evil, light workers against the dark ones that lie and deceive. Don’t be fooled. Pay no attention to their meaningless words, watch their actions. Hold them accountable. Stand up, Speak up. Be brave and walk through your fears because freedom is on the other side.

You have an unseen support team, God gifted you with two guardian Angels and Spirit guides too. Call on them and ask for their assistance. There are legions of Angels to help this world. They are here to help us get through this time. But they are not allowed to interfere with humans Free-Will so call on them, ASK THEM for help.

Even the highly evolved Star Beings are coming to assist. Pay attention, do not be fearful, you may be seeing them in the near future, like any day now, in broad daylight, you will see these UFOs. They are not here to harm us - they would have taken over the Earth a long time ago if that was their intent. No, they're here to inhibit the Shadow Government, the warmongers.  Why? Because the Star Beings, our celestial brothers and sisters don't want the destruction of our people, the planet or our the oceans, or our sky. What we do here affects the Universe, all the planets, all the stars. Great Spirit created a delicate ecosystem on a very grand scale. Our primitive scientists are preforming experiments that have devastating effects for eons of time; you have no idea.

But we are not alone. And we have a lot of whistle blowers that are going to blow their whistle after the holidays. So get motivated. Don't bow down to darkness. Don't entertain it. Don't engage it. Walk away from it. Evil is a false sense of power. Earth’s history tells of wipe-outs; like Sodom and Gomorrah when humans get way out of balance the slate gets wiped clean. If you abuse your power, you will lose it.

Live in the light, that is where all blessing flow. Use your gifts and your talents to make a positive difference in this world. For all the light-workers walk your talk. Live it, live it. Don't say “I know this to be true”- Live it! Stand up for all that is good and true. Stand up for the innocent.

THIS IS A TEST, THIS ONLY A TEST:
Whatever you may come upon, whether it be your eyes, your consciousness or your person, whether it be at a place in time or a moment that you are in the presence of a grave injustice; are you going to stand there and let that happen? Are you going to do everything in your power to change it? The ball is in your court, free will. That is your gift, your birthright. These moments are crucial to do what is right.

God does not sanction this bio-weapon. It was created to purposely harm humanity. The shadow government wants biological warfare with their Gain-Of-Function man-made viruses. They created the deadly virus and they own the dangerous bioweapon cure.God does not sanction this. There are legions of angels here and the ranks of Michael, Uriel and others to intercede and to help save the innocent, create healings and they do miraculous things that your mind could never comprehend 
 because you don't take let's say five, 10 minutes, 15 minutes out of the day to say a prayer. Please I implore you – ask God and your Angels to intercede, to remove the evil ones running this global take over, Pray for solutions, Pray for the innocent, Pray for the injured. You may not feel worthy, you may feel inadequate, but God created your soul, and Great Spirit hears every Prayer!! Let me assure you; God feels your sincerity.How will you know, unless you follow that GPS inside - your instincts, intuition and the prompting to take action?

Well, guys, get ready, buckle up, suck all the freedom up that you can, because I'm here to tell you that the Global reset is moving forward. The clock is ticking, and we are not being told - us little people, us civilians, their lab rats are not privy to their dark plans. But we have God on our side. So let's co-create a better reality for us here and for our future, for our children, for ourselves, please. This is what I asked from the people. This is it, no more, no less. Remember the law of karma, "What you do unto others, you do to yourself, tenfold." So go out of your way to create positive in your daily moment-to- moment actions and do so with a pure intent. YOU make a big difference in this world!

Sending you Love and Illumination,

XDC Network's acquisition of Contour Network

XDC Network's acquisition of Contour Network marks a silent shift to connect the digital trade infrastructure to real-time, tokenized settlement rails.

In a world where cross-border payments still take days and trap trillions in idle liquidity, integrating Contour’s trade workflows with XDC Network Blockchains' ISO 20022 financial messaging standard to bridge TradFi and Web3 in Trade Finance.

The Current State of Cross-Border Trade Settlements

Cross-border payments remain one of the most inefficient parts of global finance. For decades, companies have inter-dependency with banks and their correspondent banks across the world, forcing them to maintain trillions of dollars in pre-funded nostro and vostro balances — the capital that sits idle while transactions crawl across borders.

Traditional settlement is slow, often 1–5 days, and often with ~2-3% in FX and conversion fees. For every hour a corporation can’t access its own cash increases the cost of financing, tightens liquidity that could be used for other purposes, which in turn slows economic activity.

Before SWIFT, payments were fully manual. Intermediary banks maintained ledgers, and reconciliation across multiple institutions limited speed and volume.

SWIFT reshaped global payments by introducing a secure, standardized messaging infrastructure through ISO 20022 - which quickly became the language of money for 11,000+ institutions in 200 countries.

But SWIFT only fixed the messaging — not the movement. Actual value still moves through slow, capital-intensive correspondent chains.

Regulated and Compliant Stablecoin such as USDC (Circle) solves the part SWIFT never could: instant, on-chain settlement.

Stablecoin Settlement revamping Trade and Tokenization

Stablecoin such as USDC is a digital token pegged to the US Dollar, still the most widely used currency for trade, enabling the movement of funds instantly 24*7 globally - transparently, instantly, and without the need for any intermediaries and the need to lock in trillions of dollars of idle cash.

Tokenized settlement replaces multi-day reconciliation with on-chain finality, reducing:

  • Dependency on intermediaries
  • Operational friction
  • Trillions locked in idle liquidity

For corporates trapped in long working capital cycles, this is transformative.

Digital dollars like USDC make the process simple:

Fiat → Stablecoin → On-Chain Transfer → Fiat

This hybrid model is already widely used across remittances, payouts, and treasury flows.

But one critical piece of global commerce is still lagging:

👉 Trade finance.

The Missing link is still Trade Finance Infrastructure.

While payments innovation has raced ahead, trade finance infrastructure hasn’t kept up. Document flows, letters of credit, and supply-chain financing remain siloed, paper-heavy, and operationally outdated.

This is exactly where the next breakthrough will happen - and why the recent XDC Network acquisition of Contour is a silent revolution.

It transforms to a new era of trade-driven liquidity through an end-to-end digital trade from shipping docs to payment confirmation – one infrastructure that powers all.

The breakthrough won’t come from payments alone — it will come from connecting trade finance to real-time settlement rails.

The XDC + Contour Shift: A Silent Revolution

  • Contour already connects global banks and corporates through digital LCs and digitized trade workflows.
  • XDC Blockchain brings a settlement layer built for speed, tokenization, and institutional-grade interoperability and ISO 20022 messaging compatibility

Contour’s digital letter of credit workflows will be integrated with XDC’s blockchain network to streamline trade documentation and settlement.

Together, they form the first end-to-end digital trade finance network linking:

Documentation → Validation → Settlement all under a single infrastructure.

XDC Ventures (XVC.TECH) is launching a Stable-Coin Lab to work with financial institutions on regulated stablecoin pilots for trade to deepen institutional trade-finance integration through launch of pilots with banks and corporates for regulated stable-coin issuance and settlement.

The Bottom Line

Payments alone won’t transform Global Trade Finance — Trade finance + Tokenized Settlement will.

This is the shift happening underway XDC Network's acquisition of Contour is the quiet catalyst.

Inside The Deal That Made Polymarket’s Founder One Of The Youngest Billionaires On Earth🌍

One year ago, the FBI raided Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan’s apartment. Now, the college dropout is a billionaire at age 27.

In July, Jeffrey Sprecher, the 70-year-old billionaire CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, sat at Manhatta, an upscale restaurant in the financial district overlooking the sprawling New York City skyline from the 60th floor. As a sommelier weaved through tables pouring wine, in walked Shayne Coplan—in a T-shirt and jeans, clutching a plastic water bottle and a paper bag with a bagel he’d picked up en route. Sprecher chuckles as he recalls his first impression of the boyish, eccentric entrepreneur: “An old bald guy that works at the New York Stock Exchange, where we require that you wear a suit and tie, next to a mop-headed guy in a T-shirt that's 27.” But Sprecher was fascinated by Polymarket, Coplan’s blockchain-based prediction market, and after dinner, he made his move: “I asked Shayne if he would consider selling us his company.”

Prediction markets like Polymarket let thousands of ordinary people bet on future events—the unemployment rate, say, or when BitCoin will hit an all-time high. In aggregate, prediction market bets have proven to be something of a crystal ball with the wisdom of the crowd often proving itself more prescient than expert opinion. For instance, Polymarket punters predicted that Trump would prevail in the 2024 presidential election, when many national pundits were sure that Kamala Harris would win.

Coplan initially turned down Sprecher’s buyout offer. But discussions led to negotiations and eventually a deal. In October, Intercontinental announced it had invested $2 billion for an up to 25% stake in the company, bringing the young solo founder the balance he was looking for. “We're consumer, we’re viral, we're culture. They’re finance, they’re headless and they’re infrastructure,” Coplan tells Forbes in a recent interview.

At the same time, Coplan announced investments from other billionaires including Figma’s Dylan Field, Zynga’s Mark Pincus, Uber’s Travis Kalanick and hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin. A longtime Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, Coplan even convinced lead singer Anthony Kiedis to invest after a mutual acquaintance brought the musician to Coplan’s apartment one day. “He's buzzing my door, and I’m like, ‘holy shit,'” Coplan recalls, his bright blue eyes widening. “I love their music. A lot of the inspiration [for my work] comes from the music that I listen to.”

Thanks to the deals, Polymarket’s valuation quickly shot to $9 billion, making the 2025 Under 30 alum the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, with an estimated 11% stake worth $1 billion. His reign was short: twenty days later, he was overtaken as the youngest by the three 22-year-old founders of AI startup Mercor.

Young entrepreneurs are minting ten-figure fortunes faster than ever. In addition to the Mercor trio and Coplan, 15 other Under 30 alumni—including ScaleAI cofounder Lucy Guo, Reddit’s Steve Huffman and Cursor’s cofounders—became billionaires this year, while Guo’s cofounder Alexandr Wang and Robinhood’s Vlad Tenev (both former Under 30 honorees) regained their billionaire status after having fallen out of the ranks.

The budding billionaire has long been fascinated by markets and tech. When he was just 14, Coplan emailed the regional Securities and Exchange Commission office to ask how to create new marketplaces. “I did not get a response, but it’s a really funny email,” he says, grinning playfully as he thinks of his younger self. “It just shows that this stuff takes over a decade of percolating in your mind.”

Two years later, Coplan showed up at the offices of internet startup Genius uninvited after multiple emails of his asking for an internship went ignored. At age 16—at least a decade younger than anyone in that office—he secured his first job after making a memorable impression with his “wild curls” and “encyclopedic knowledge of billionaire tech entrepreneurs.” “If he chooses to become a tech entrepreneur, which seems likely, I have no doubt that we’ll be seeing his name again in the press before long,” Chris Glazek, his manager at the time, wrote in Coplan’s college recommendation letter.

Coplan went on to study computer science at NYU, but dropped out in 2017 to work on various crypto projects that never took off. In 2020, he founded Polymarket to create a solution to the “rampant misinformation” he saw in the world: The company’s first market allowed users to bet on when New York City would reopen amid the pandemic. He soon expanded into elections and pop culture happenings, among other events.

But it didn’t take long for the company to butt heads with regulators. In January 2022, Polymarket paid a $1.4 million fine to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for offering unregistered markets. It was also ordered to block all U.S. users, but activity on Polymarket skyrocketed particularly during the 2024 U.S. presidential election, with bets totaling $3.6 billion. A week after the election, the FBI raided Coplan's apartment and seized his devices as part of an investigation into a possible violation of this agreement. Shortly after, Coplan posted on his X account that he saw the raid as “a last-ditch effort” from the Biden administration “to go after companies they deem to be associated with political opponents.”

In July, the Department of Justice and CFTC dropped the investigations—after which Sprecher reached out to Coplan for dinner—and less than a week later, Polymarket announced it had acquired CFTC-licensed derivatives exchange QCX to prepare for a compliant U.S. launch. QCX applied to be a federally-registered exchange in 2022—an application that was left dormant for three years before receiving approval less than two weeks before the acquisition was announced. When asked about the timing of the deal, Coplan points to CFTC acting chairwoman Caroline Pham, who President Trump tapped to lead the agency in January. “Caroline deserves a lot of credit for getting every single license that had been paused for no reason approved, as acting chairwoman in less than a year,” he says. Coplan had realized an acquisition might be the only way for Polymarket to legally operate in the U.S. as early as 2021 due to the lengthy federal approval process, a source familiar with the deal told Forbes.

Just two months after the acquisition and days after Donald Trump Jr. joined Polymarket’s advisory board, the company received federal approval to launch in the U.S. (Trump Jr. has also served as a strategic advisor to Polymarket’s main competitor Kalshi since January.)

Polymarket’s rapid rise has drawn critics. Dennis Kelleher, co-founder and CEO of Washington-based financial advocacy group Better Markets, told Forbes in an email that the current administration’s deregulation around prediction markets has unlocked a regulatory “loophole” to enable “unregulated gambling” under the CFTC, “which has zero expertise, capacity or resources to regulate and police these markets.” Kelleher added that with backing from the Trump family “who are directly trying to profit on this new gambling den
 the massive deregulation and crypto hysteria will almost certainly end badly for the American people.”

Investors and businesses are scrambling to seize the moment of deregulation. “We had opportunities to invest in events markets earlier, but there was a lot of risk,” Sprecher says, listing the regulatory changes in favor of crypto and prediction markets under the current administration. “This was the moment to invest if we wanted to still be early in the space.”

In the last few months, Trump’s Truth Social and sportsbook FanDuel, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges Crypto.com, Coinbase and Gemini all announced their own plans to offer prediction markets. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said prediction markets, which were integrated into its platform in March, were helping drive record activity for the retail brokerage in its third quarter earnings call.

“People are starting to realize right now that the opportunities are endless,” says Dubin, the billionaire hedge fund veteran who invested in Polymarket earlier this year. He points to sports betting companies, which have been regulated by states as gambling activity and taxed accordingly. States like New York can tax up to 51% of sportsbooks’ revenue, but federally-regulated prediction markets can bypass state laws, avoiding taxes and operating in all 50 states. With the realization that prediction markets could upend the sports betting industry—which brought in $13.7 billion in revenue in 2024—businesses are quickly jumping on board despite pushback from state gambling regulators. In October, both Polymarket and Kalshi secured partnerships with sportsbook PrizePicks and the National Hockey League, and Polymarket announced exclusive partnerships with sportsbook DraftKings and the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

The disruption won’t be limited to sports betting. Alongside its investment, Intercontinental’s tens of thousands of institutional clients including large hedge funds and over 750 third-party providers of data will soon have access to Polymarket data, as it gets integrated into Intercontinental’s products such as indices to better inform investment decisions. It also hopes to work with Polymarket to work on initiatives around tokenization—or converting financial assets into digital tokens on blockchain technology—to allow traders on Intercontinental’s exchanges to trade more flexibly at all hours of the day, Sprecher says. What’s more, in November, Google Finance announced it would integrate Polymarket and Kalshi data into its search results, while Yahoo Finance also announced an exclusive partnership with Polymarket.

Despite flashy investors, partnerships and a record $2.4 billion of trading volume in November, Polymarket has yet to launch in the U.S. or turn a profit. Coplan and his investors have hinted at ways the company could make money one day—selling its data, charging fees to users, launching a cryptocurrency token (similar to Ethereum or Bitcoin)—but decline to confirm any specifics. For now, the only thing that’s certain is the bet Coplan is making on himself. “Going for it and having it not pan out is an infinitely better outcome than living your life as a what if,” he says.

Standing across from the New York Stock Exchange building, Coplan tilts his head up as he watches a massive banner with Polymarket’s logo get hoisted onto the exterior of the building. It’s been five years since founding. One year since the FBI raid. He’s taking it all in. “Against all odds,” the bright blue banner reads, rippling in the wind alongside three American flags protruding from the building.

Epstein-Linked Emails Expose Funding Ties to Bitcoin Core Development — Here Is What the Documents Reveal
  • Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein helped fund MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative, which supported Bitcoin Core development.
  • The documents also confirm that Leon Black donated to MIT’s Media Lab through Epstein-directed channels.
  • The revelations reshape part of Bitcoin’s early institutional funding history and highlight long-hidden influence from controversial donors.

Newly unsealed emails from the House Oversight Committee have shed fresh light on Jeffrey Epstein’s hidden financial influence inside MIT’s Media Lab — and more importantly, how some of that money flowed into Bitcoin Core development. The correspondence reveals that Joichi Ito, then-director of the MIT Media Lab, relied on Epstein-connected “gift funds” to rapidly launch the Digital Currency Initiative (DCI) in 2015, the research hub that became one of the primary sources of funding for Bitcoin’s core developers.

Emails Show Epstein-Connected Money Helped Launch MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative

In the newly surfaced emails, Ito directly thanked Epstein for the financial help that allowed MIT to “move quickly and win this round,” referring to the formation of DCI — a program explicitly designed to provide long-term support for Bitcoin Core contributors after the collapse of the Bitcoin Foundation. Ito’s forwarded message to Epstein described how the foundation’s implosion left core developers without stable funding, creating an opening for MIT to bring them under its umbrella.

He explained that three major developers — including Wladimir van der Laan and Cory Fields — agreed to join MIT, calling it “a big win for us.” The email also highlighted early support from prominent academics, including cryptographer Ron Rivest and IMF economist Simon Johnson. Epstein simply replied: “gavin is clever.”

Funding Numbers Reveal a Much Larger Financial Trail

MIT publicly claimed that Epstein donated $850,000 to the institution, with $525,000 flowing to the Media Lab. But journalist Ronan Farrow later reported the true figure was closer to $7.5 million — including a $5 million anonymous donation connected to Epstein associate Leon Black. The new emails appear to confirm that Black not only donated, but did so through Epstein’s direction.

One email from Ito to Epstein reads: “We were able to keep the Leon Black money, but the $25K from your foundation is getting bounced by MIT back to ASU.”

 

Epstein responded: “No problem — trying to get more black for you.”

The documents reveal Epstein’s influence reached deeper into Bitcoin circles than previously acknowledged, even including early conversations with Brock Pierce — another figure with documented ties to both Epstein and controversy surrounding early crypto foundations.

MIT’s Internal Concerns and the Fallout

The emails also expose MIT’s internal unease around anonymous or reputationally risky donations. After the scandal broke, Ito resigned in 2019. MIT later tightened donation policies, warning that “everything becomes public” eventually — a statement that now seems prophetic given this week’s disclosures.

Developers like Wladimir van der Laan say they were unaware of the extent of Epstein’s involvement and noted that DCI’s funding transparency “was not great back in the day.” The Media Lab and DCI declined to comment.
