  value: The story creates time pressure — limited windows, competitive races, or imminent shifts — to push readers toward acceptance before scrutiny. Watch for loaded terms such as onshore, working to bring, fast-growing. The distribution reads as wire reprint. A pressure point: No citation of CFTC statement, Selig comment, or Hyperliquid press release.
