According to @StockMKTNewz, Bloomberg reports that money manager Mario Gabelli said it is highly likely he will tender his clients' Warner Bros. Discovery WBD shares to Paramount Skydance PSKY to spark a bidding war for the film and TV company, per Bloomberg. This statement highlights potential competitive deal interest centered on WBD and PSKY that traders may watch for headline-driven moves, as reported by Bloomberg. The report focuses on traditional media M&A and does not cite any direct cryptocurrency market impact, per Bloomberg.

According to @StockMarketNerd, a stock involved in a bidding war sold off on headlines suggesting the buyer would be allowed to acquire it and rallied on opposing headlines, indicating an inverse reaction pattern.

This highlights acute headline risk and path dependency during M&A processes, implying elevated whipsaw risk for merger-arbitrage and event-driven strategies near deal updates.

According to @alice_und_bob, Kusama has experienced a surge in competition for Polkadot's parachain compute cores, which are considered the network's most limited resource. In recent months, a scalper acquired all available cores and resold them to projects at significant premiums, directly impacting the cost structure for teams looking to deploy on Kusama. To address this, technical updates have been implemented to make hoarding and reselling more difficult. These changes could increase volatility in KSM token prices and influence trading strategies as core access tightens and project deployment costs fluctuate. Source: @alice_und_bob.
