🗣️ These are the top trending stories across crypto social media Friday: 🇺🇸 CPI Inflation Shock: Report: US headline CPI jumped to 3.3% YoY in March, the biggest rise since May 2024. Energy drove the move—gasoline spiked over 21%—while core CPI eased slightly to 2.6%, under estimates. Markets see the surge as largely geopolitical (Iran war) and priced-out 2026 Fed cuts. Motive: energy shock; policymakers likely to hold rates until core trends clearly fall.

📉 Covenant Exit: Reporters and users say Covenant AI, the largest Bittensor subnet operator, abruptly left and sold ~37,000 TAO (~$10–11M). Prices plunged across TAO and subnet tokens as accusations flew that Bittensor governance is centralized and that emissions or moderation were abused. Bittensor founders promise lock-based subnet ownership to fix incentives. Motive: Covenant claims governance/control issues; Bittensor claims code and incentives persist.

😬 Token Pump Risks: Spot chatter centers on frenzied pumps and risky leverage moves. RAVE exploded 200–300% with huge volume, prompting pump-orchestrated concerns. WLFI (Trump-linked) cratered after the team used billions of tokens as collateral to borrow tens of millions, sparking liquidation and governance questions. Traders are rotating into ZEC, DASH, MON and meme plays amid high volatility and possible insider activity.

😠 Mutuals Removal: Reporters and users erupted after X/Twitter removed the mutual followers display. People say it was the last quick check to vet crypto accounts and avoid scams. Some claim the change helps bots and disinformation; a few praise it jokingly. Motive unclear — users blame product choices or leadership.

Traders flag bullish Bitcoin momentum for April and a possible push to weekly highs. Some warn of Friday-night geopolitical headlines (Iran) that could spur oil longs and stock shorts.
