A deleted tweet from a conversation between UFC analyst Daniel Cormier and Eric Trump and a prediction market sitting on millions in open interest. Bitcoin is trading near $65,800, up roughly +2% over the past 24 hours after a brutal week, but the story rattling 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 lawn fight card.
In a now-deleted post, Daniel Cormier exposed Eric Trump for asking him if any of the UFC White House fights were rigged:

In the purported messages, Trump reaches out to Cormier, asking about the fights: “Anything you can tell me about the fighters tomorrow? Who you got winning?” Cormier’s post called out what he described as “insider behavior,” writing: “I refuse to stay silent… Shame on anyone trying to ruin this beautiful event.” The post vanished shortly after.
No major outlet has confirmed the screenshots are authentic, and no verifiable evidence of Polymarket manipulation has surfaced in the past 48 hours. But the optics are doing their own work, and in thin prediction markets, optics move money.
I actually think either Eric Trump or Daniel Cormier was hacked here. Just doesn’t smell real. There are much better ways for Eric Trump to make illicit money than trying to bet on the UFC in some thinly traded polymarket contract. https://t.co/WOsz9souyR

Can Bitcoin Reclaim $70,000 This Week Following Eric Trump ‘Rigged’ Drama?
Bitcoin’s near +4% climb over the past seven days, which some analysts attributed to a potential peace deal between the US and Iran being closer than ever, has left the chart in a short-term bullish phase, raising the question of whether it can be sustained. The asset is stabilizing, but stabilizing is not the same as recovering.
Current support sits in the $64,000–$65,000 zone, the local demand area that absorbed selling pressure over the weekend, per CoinGecko data and TradingView analysts. Deeper structural support clusters around $60,000–$62,000. Resistance is layered at $68,000–$70,000, where significant spot and derivatives selling appeared earlier this month.
Three scenarios from here:
- Bull case: BTC holds $64,000 support, dip buyers absorb the remaining sell pressure, and price grinds back toward $68,000–$70,000 resistance. ETF inflows stabilizing would support this read.
- Base case: BTC ranges between $64,000 and $68,000 for the next 7–10 days as the market digests macro data and political noise. Sideways, 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–$100,000 for the next major leg remain valid in aggregate, but would require a confirmed break above $70,000 first.
LiquidChain Targets Early-Mover Upside as Bitcoin Tests Key Levels
When Bitcoin’s upside looks capped at single digits, and the prediction market everyone was talking about is fielding questions about its integrity thanks to Eric Trump, some traders start scanning earlier on the risk curve. That’s the environment LiquidChain is launching into, and the contrast is sharp.
LiquidChain (LIQUID) is a Layer 3 (L3) infrastructure project, an execution environment built on top of existing blockchains, that fuses Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single layer.
The problem it targets is real: most DeFi (decentralized finance) capital is stranded in siloed ecosystems, forcing developers to build separately for each chain and forcing users to bridge assets manually.
LiquidChain’s Unified Liquidity Layer and Deploy-Once Architecture aim to eliminate that friction. Developers deploy a single contract; the protocol handles the rest across all three networks.
The presale is priced at $0.0147 and has raised $841,128.18 to date. Early coverage has focused on its cross-chain execution model as a differentiated technical angle in a crowded L3 space.
Verifiable Settlement, on-chain confirmation of every cross-chain transaction, is the feature that separates protocol-level promises from marketing.
