Coronation Street fans have spotted an ‘error’ made by Craig Tinker that doomed his exit fate right before Mick attacked him.
Last night (Monday, May 19), Craig decided to play the hero and investigate a disturbance alone.
But, Mick Michaelis was riled up and decided to whack Craig over the head with a bat.

Craig Tinker’s upcoming death exit in Coronation Street
Craig Tinker’s upcoming death in Coronation Street is no secret as the police officer sadly loses his life this week.
Yesterday evening on the cobbles, Craig was supposed to be shadowing Kit Green at work but Kit wasn’t in the mood to train him.
Lisa Swain then encouraged Craig to show Kit just how capable he was, with Craig then going to investigate a welfare concern at the Michaelis’ house.
It wasn’t long before Craig decided to go out on patrol and follow an angry Mick Michaelis down, pulling him over for drunk driving.
However, Craig didn’t wait for any sort of backup and decided to confront him alone. He then went to grab a breathalyser but Mick wasn’t keen on cooperating with him, pulling out a bat.
Before long, Craig was whacked unconscious and left for dead on the floor as Mick scarpered.

Coronation Street fans blast PC Tinker for ‘sealing’ his own fate
With Craig not waiting for backup, fans have noted that if he’d just held fire for a bit until another officer turned up to support him then his life could’ve been saved.
Mick might’ve not attacked him if he wasn’t alone…
One Coronation Street fan said: “Oh Craig, you needed backup.”
Another viewer commented: “Not that I’m a police expert or anything but, for me, Craig was far too inexperienced to be doing a job like that on his own. He didn’t have any backup, he didn’t have the body cam on and he knew the van surely as he reported it before, he should have taken the bat etc.”
A third person added: “Craig really should have called for backup when he had the chance… I reckon he’s dead now anyway. Sean’s statement won’t make any difference!”

From now until Thursday, May 22, you can claim a free copy of Dead Island 2, as well as Happy Game. Dead Island 2 is, of course, the higher profile title in this line-up, and it’s really one of those instances where it’s hard to believe a game of such quality is being given away for free.
Dead Island 2 is not a very old game, either, it only came out in April 2023 – so it’s just a little over two-years-old. Some of you reading this likely bought it on a deep discount intending to play it shortly afterwards, but never did.
Given its extensive history of false starts, delays, reboots and all manner of development shenanigans, it’s a miracle that a game called Dead Island 2 exists at all. The fact that it’s actually a solid, fully-fledged zombie action game – and a fun co-op romp to boot – is what took everyone by surprise two years ago.
Watch on YouTube
In her four-star review, our very own Kelsey Raynor said it is “every bit the head-stomping blast that it promised to be,” and pointed out how much it all comes together in co-op. Considering Dead Island 2 is currently free, finding people to play with shouldn’t be a problem.
Even if you don’t particularly care about zombie games, you should at least download it to experience the the dismemberment and flesh/bone tech under the hood. It’s more detailed than you might realise, and makes for very satisfying (and often brutal) zombie-slaying.
You can grab Dead Island 2 on the Epic Games Store right now. Just add it to your cart, check out and you’re done. Various bits of DLC are also on sale, in case you want to expand what’s already there.
If you’ve seen “The Pitt” you probably feel like you’ve worked an entire shift in a real emergency room. That’s very much the point of the Max series, which has become a big hit for the streamer in recent months to the extent that there’s already talk of a “Pitt” spin-off and celebrity fans are singing the show’s praises (Stephen King is, evidently, a big fan of the Max drama).

Undoubtedly, part of the show’s success is it’s commitment to realism. Unlike other series, “The Pitt” depicts its medical drama with a strikingly naturalistic tone that immerses you in what can feel like the truly harrowing lives of real emergency medical staff. After just a few episodes you feel the strain under which the doctors and nurses at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital are working, and when you start to think about how this is just a single day in their lives, you realize just how unfathomable the pressure of the medical field really is, especially in the context of an emergency department.
It helps that “The Pitt” has been praised for its medical accuracy and the fact that the show doesn’t use music at all. But another important element is the cast. Had the show been populated with big-name stars, its immersive effect would have been diminished. Part of why “The Pitt” feels so real has to do with the fact that most of the actors have yet to become stars in their own right (barring lead Noah Wyle, who long ago established his medical drama bonafides with a starring role in “ER”). As such, you might be curious as to where these talented cast members came from. Here’s everything you need to know about the cast of “The Pitt.”

Noah Wyle — Dr. Michael Robinavitch
Max
Playing Dr. Robinavitch in “The Pitt” isn’t Noah Wyle’s first role in a medical drama. His breakthrough came with the seminal “ER,” a medical drama created by “Jurassic Park” author Michael Crichton which starred Wyle as John Carter. Carter started out as a third-year medical student before becoming a doctor as the show went on. Wyle then left NBC’s “ER” in the series’ 11th season, but continued to appear sporadically throughout the remaining four seasons. During the ’90s, he also got to play tech giant Steve Jobs, becoming the first actor to portray the Apple creator in 1999’s “Pirates of Silicon Valley.”

After “ER” Wyle appeared in a number of theater productions and films, including “White Oleander,” “Enough” with Jennifer Lopez, and “Donnie Darko.” He then returned to TV by playing the lead role of Tom Mason in TNT series “Falling Skies.” Prior to “The Pitt,” he launched an epic made-for-TV fantasy franchise in the form of “The Librarian: Quest for the Spear,” a TNT TV movie from “Independence Day” writer-producer Dean Devlin. He then became the star and executive producer of “The Pitt,” alongside fellow producers John Wells and creator Scott Gemmill, both of whom are also “ER” alums.
Tracy Ifeachor — Dr. Heather Collins
Max
British actress Tracy Ifeachor plays Dr. Heather Collins on “The Pitt,” a senior resident who has a complicated history with Dr. Michael Robinavitch and who frequently clashes with her superior, despite harboring an obvious fondness for him. Dr. Collins is absent from several episodes towards the end of “The Pitt” but prior to that she’s a very big part of the show.
Advertisement
Outside of the Max drama, Ifeachor has had an impressive career. She’s perhaps best known for playing Aya Al-Rashid on The CW’s “The Vampire Diaries” spin-off “The Originals,” but she also had a big part in the “Doctor Who” Christmas special, “The End of Time.” Over in the UK she fronted season 1 of the BBC drama, “Showtrial,” playing duty solicitor Cleo Roberts. Ifeachor has been more prolific in TV than film, but she has had some movie roles, including that of Dorothy Smith in the whimsical origin story that was 2023’s “Wonka.”
Patrick Ball — Dr. Frank Langdon
Max
Dr. Frank Langdon is a senior resident at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital and Dr. Michael Robinavitch’s right-hand man. Amazingly, this is only actor Patrick Ball’s second on-screen role. The young star previously had a guest appearance in a 2023 episode of “Law & Order” but otherwise only appeared in theater productions prior to playing the charismatic Langdon.
Advertisement
With “The Pitt” proving such a big success, that’s a pretty impressive second role for Ball, who only graduated from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University in 2022. Now that season 1 of “The Pitt” is in the bag, Ball is starring in “Hamlet” at LA’s Mark Taper Forum, before production on season 2 of the Max drama begins in June.
Interestingly enough, Ball’s mother is a nurse and his dad is a paramedic, and it seems both gave “The Pitt” their seal of approval. The actor told Gold Derby, “The first thing they said was, ‘Wow, this checks out. This is real medicine,’ which is amazing because they can’t watch medical dramas most of the time.”
Katherine LaNasa — Dana Evans
Max
Katherine LaNasa plays the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital ER’s charge nurse and is a longtime friend and supporter of Dr. Michael Robinavitch. The actress and former professional ballet dancer was married to Dennis Hopper between 1989 and 1992, and had one son with the “Easy Rider” director.
Advertisement
Throughout the 1990s, LaNasa appeared in several movies and TV shows, including a guest role on “ER” before landing the lead role in NBC’s “Three Sisters” in 2001. The show was canceled after two seasons, but LaNasa continued to appear on the small screen with recurring roles in shows such as “Judging Amy,” “Two and a Half Men,” and “Longmire.” She also starred in NBC’s drama series “Deception.” She can be seen in Disney’s admirable salvage job of a series, “Daredevil: Born Again,” in which she plays socialite and wife of Arthur Sledge, Artemis Sledge.
On the big screen, LaNasa has appeared in a number of films including 2004’s Jude Law-led romantic comedy “Alfie,” 2012 Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis comedy “The Campaign,” and 2013 Nicolas Cage thriller “The Frozen Ground.”

Supriya Ganesh — Dr. Samira Mohan
Max
Indian-American actor Supriya Ganesh plays Dr. Samira Mohan in “The Pitt.” A workaholic third-year medical resident Dr. Mohan is a talented doctor whose commitment to building relationships with patients doesn’t always match Dr. Michael Robinavitch’s style.
Advertisement
Ganesh was, herself, planning on a career in medicine, even studying neuroscience at Columbia University. But she gave up on the idea of med school in favor of acting, beginning with attending auditions in New York while at Columbia. She eventually landed a small role on “Blue Bloods,” which was cut, but that was just the beginning of her acting career.
Since then she’s had small roles in two 2022 films (“Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game” and “Spoiler Alert”) and a number of guest roles on TV series including “Chicago Med,” “Billions,” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Dr. Mohan is her first main on-screen role. After season 1 of “The Pitt” she began playing Vaidehi in a production of “House of India” at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre.

Fiona Dourif — Dr. Cassie McKay
Max
Before “The Pitt,” Dr. Cassie McKay Actor Fiona Dourif played a Stephen King villain. In fact, she was well-established as a screen queen, starring as Nica Pierce in “Curse of Chucky” and “Cult of Chucky,” and working on Syfy’s “Chucky” TV show. Of course, it helped that she’s the daughter of Chucky voice actor and horror legend Brad Dourif, who retired from acting in 2024 (though he’ll always be available to play Chucky).
Advertisement
Fiona Dourif is known for more than horror, though. She starred as Bart Curlish in BBC America series “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency” and as Diane Jones in ABC miniseries “When We Rise,” alongside recurring roles in HBO’s “True Blood” and NBC’s “The Blacklist.” In film, Dourif has multiple projects to her name, including 2008’s “Garden Party,” and Paul Thomas Anderson’s maddening vision of power and friendship “The Master.” She also appeared in Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet.”
Taylor Dearden — Dr. Melissa King
Max
Dr. Melissa King, played by USC alum Taylor Dearden, is a neurodivergent resident at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital ER, who somehow remains positive amid a somewhat jaded medical staff. Dearden is the daughter of actress Robin Gale Dearden and the great Bryan Cranston, and even had a small role as “Sad Faced Girl” in an episode of Cranston’s “Breaking Bad.”
Advertisement
The actress’ first major role was that of Ophelia in the MTV show “Sweet/Vicious.” Dearden appeared in 10 episodes of the comedy drama before playing Chloe Lyman in season 2 of Netflix’s mockumentary series “American Vandal,” which was canceled after that second season in 2018. On the film side, Dearden’s last role was in 2020’s “The Last Champion,” a sports drama directed by Glenn Withrow and starring Cole Hauser.
In 2022, Dearden appeared in three episodes of Apple TV+’s “For All Mankind” before landing her role on “The Pitt.” The actress spoke to NPR about how she identified with Dr. King, saying, “I see a lot of the neurodivergent parts of Mel as something I experience all the time.”
Isa Briones — Dr. Trinity Santos
Max
Isa Briones’ Dr. Trinity Santos is a first-year resident with a competitive side and a proclivity for using sardonic humor as a shield. But she’s also very perceptive, which leads to one of the first season’s most shocking reveals. Briones herself is no TV rookie, having appeared as Margot Stokes in season 1 of Disney+/Hulu’s “Goosebumps” series and starring in “Star Trek: Picard,” in which she played multiple roles as Dahj and Soji Asha, Sutra, and Kore Soong.
Advertisement
Briones began her career as a model at a young age, and has been acting in film and on-stage since 2008. At 19 she became the youngest performer in the first touring company of “Hamilton” before making her Broadway debut in 2024 by playing Eurydice in “Hadestown.” In 2025, Briones took over for actress Havana Rose Liu in “All Nighter,” an off-broadway play from Natalie Margolin which is running at MCC Theater’s Newman Mills Theater until May 18, 2025.
Gerran Howell — Dennis Whitaker
Max
Dennis Whitaker is one of two med students in the Pitt. Hailing from Nebraska, the young doctor lacks in self-confidence and constantly finds himself in need of new scrubs in one of the series’ few running gags. He’s portrayed by Welsh actor Gerran Howell, who has been working since he was a child.
Advertisement
Howell starred in the CBBC show “Young Dracula,” which aired from 2006 to 2014 in the U.K. and focused on the Dracula family after their move from Transylvania to small town Wales. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, Howell then appeared in British medical drama “Casualty” in a recurring capacity, before playing private Parry in Sam Mendes’ 2019 war film “1917.” Howell continued to work in TV, playing Kid Sampson in Hulu’s “Catch-22” and becoming a series regular on the BBC show “Ludwig” in 2024. After this he landed his role on “The Pitt” and is confirmed to return for season 2 of the series, which has been officially greenlit.
Shabana Azeez — Victoria Javadi
Max
Victoria Javadi is a young and ambitious third-year medical student whose parents work at the hospital and who is determined to forge her own path. She makes quite the impression after fainting on her first day, but continues doing everything she can to be taken seriously by her older colleagues.
Advertisement
Javadi is played by Australian actor Shabana Azeez, who appeared in several Australian shows before “The Pitt,” most notably in the sitcom “Metro Sexual,” in which she played Yasmin Dagher. Azeez also appeared as a guest star in one episode of Netflix’s “Apple Cider Vinegar” (which centered around a subject that hurt real people) in which she played Evie, and starred in Australian film “Birdeater” in 2024, which was an official selection at the South by Southwest Festival in 2024. That same year she also lent her voice to Australian animated film “Lesbian Space Princess,” in which she played the title character. Victoria Javadi is Azeez’s first major role in a U.S. production.
Shawn Hatosy — Dr. Jack Abbot
Max
Dr. Jack Abbot is a senior doctor who also works at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. He is on the same level as Dr. Michael Robinavitch, who finds Dr. Abbot on the roof of the hospital in the very first episode after what was clearly a difficult night shift in the ER.
Advertisement
Shawn Hatosy is the actor who plays Dr. Abbot. Hatosy has been working consistently in film and TV since the mid-’90s and is perhaps best known for playing Stan Rosado in “The Faculty,” one of the best ’90s horror movies. He also appeared as FBI Agent John Madala in Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies.”
On the small screen, Hatosy has appeared in dozens of shows since the mid-’90s. He even had a guest role on “ER” as in the episode “Jigsaw.” His first major TV role, however, was Sammy Bryant in crime drama series “Southland,” in which Hatosy starred for 43 episodes between 2009-2013. He has continued to appear on TV consistently ever since, with lead roles in “Reckless” and “Animal Kingdom” alongside many guest appearances and recurring roles.

Jalen Thomas Brooks — Mateo Diaz
Max
Jalen Thomas Brooks plates Mateo Diaz, a nurse in the ER at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. Brooks’ first on-screen role came in 2019 when he played Simon Kirby in the “Supergirl” episode “In Plain Sight.” He then appeared in an episode of Nickelodeon’s “Henry Danger” before landing a recurring role in ABC’s “Rebel,” which was unfortunately canceled after one season.
Advertisement
Brooks also had a recurring role as Blaise in TNT’s “Animal Kingdom” and in The CW’s “Walker,” a reboot of “Walker, Texas Ranger” in which he played Colton Davidson. Brooks has appeared in one feature film thus far, making his big screen debut in Eli Roth’s throwback slasher “Thanksgiving” (2023).
Though Mateo Diaz isn’t a main role on “The Pitt,” there’s plenty of scope for that to change as the show continues. Given the fact that Brooks has amassed several impressive credits in what is still a burgeoning career, it wouldn’t be surprising if the writers chose to use him more in future.
Amielynn Abellera — Perlah Alawi
Max
Filipino American actor Amielynn Abellera plays Perlah, a Filipino Muslim registered nurse in the ER who provides support to the doctors and has a close friendship with Kristin Villanueva’s Princess Dela Cruz. Originally from Stockton, California, Abellera actually earned a degree in Psychobiology from Santa Clara University before gaining her Master of Fine Arts degree in acting from the University of Southern California.
Advertisement
Her professional credits begin in the early 2010s, when she started acting in short films before landing small roles on TV series. Throughout the 2010s and 2020s, Abellera appeared in single episodes of multiple shows, including “NCIS” and Hulu’s “The Cleaning Lady.” Her role as Perlah on “The Pitt” is her first recurring role, with Abellera telling Ebby Magazine that she was drawn to the part because she “rarely see[s] someone like Perlah in mainstream media” and was “moved” by “The Pitt” showcasing a “sincere portrayal of our strained healthcare system.”
Kristin Villanueva — Princess Dela Cruz
Max
Princess Dela Cruz is a nurse working in the ER at Pittsburg Trauma Medical Hospital. She’s played by Kristin Villanueva, who was born and raised in Manila, Philippines and moved to the U.S. at 15. She earned her BFA in Acting from SUNY Purchase before embarking on a career which has since seen her starring in regional theater shows across the country. Villanueva’s first TV role came in 2011 when she appeared in an episode of “Gossip Girl,” which also starred the late great Michelle Trachtenberg.
Advertisement
Since then, Villanueva has appeared in multiple TV and film projects, playing a nurse in Paul Schrader’s modern masterpiece about faith, “First Reformed” and appearing in an episode of CBS’s “Elementary.” She also had roles in “Search Party” and a recurring role in Netflix’s “Bonding” before landing hr role in “The Pitt.” Princess Dela Cruz is Villanueva’s biggest on-screen role yet.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs and Ethereum ETFs are experiencing record inflows, reflecting growing institutional confidence in cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin surpasses $106,000 and Ethereum gains momentum, driven by global adoption and market dynamics.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs hit $109 billion AUM
The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a historic surge in institutional investment, with U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reaching a remarkable $109 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of late April 2025.
Source: The Block
This milestone underscores the accelerating pace of institutional adoption globally, with Bitcoin ETFs reaching all-time high with over $41 billion in inflows since their launch in early 2024.
On May 8, 2025, investors poured new capital into these funds, pushing the total to this record-breaking figure. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest spot Bitcoin ETF, alone has attracted $6.96 billion in year-to-date inflows, outpacing even the world’s largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), which recorded $6.5 billion.

This outperformance highlights institutional investors’ growing confidence in Bitcoin BTC as a long-term store of value, despite its modest 3.8% price gain compared to gold’s 29% surge this year.
Long-term buying pressure from Bitcoin whales points to a potential continuation of the bullish trend.

Ethereum ETFs Gain Momentum
While Bitcoin ETFs continue to dominate headlines, spot Ethereum ETFs are steadily carving out their own success.
In early May 2025, Ethereum ETFs recorded significant net inflows, ending an eight-week streak of outflows, driven by a broader cryptocurrency market rally. This marked their first positive weekly inflows since February 2025, reflecting renewed investor confidence.
Source: Farside Investors
BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF (ETHA) has been a standout, attracting substantial capital and contributing to the fund’s growing AUM, which now reaches billions.
Despite earlier challenges, including notable outflows in March, the recent surge underscores Ethereum’s appeal as an institutional investment, fueled by its robust ecosystem and Pectra upgrades.
Analysts note that while Ethereum ETFs still trail Bitcoin in scale, their recent performance signals a shift, with institutions increasingly recognizing Ethereum’s potential as a cornerstone of the crypto market.
Rising Institutional Trust Powers ETF Inflows
While Bitcoin benefits from its established narrative as digital gold, Ethereum ETFs remain a “sidekick” to their Bitcoin counterparts, with inflows significantly lower.
The record inflows into both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs signal a structural shift in the financial landscape, with institutions increasingly viewing cryptocurrencies as viable portfolio assets. Analysts attribute this trend to macroeconomic factors, including persistent inflation, a weakening U.S. dollar, and expectations of renewed quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve.
Rachael Lucas from BTC Markets noted that these inflows reflect a “maturing role” for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETH in diversified portfolios. Additionally, global adoption is gaining traction, with countries like the UAE, Singapore, and Hong Kong launching their spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, further legitimizing cryptocurrencies as an asset class. Despite short-term volatility, such as Bitcoin’s 12% price drop in Q1 2025, the sustained inflows demonstrate unwavering institutional optimism.

Against all odds, the Senate’s stablecoin bill has regained political momentum, passing a key procedural vote Monday evening that has set the legislation on track for passage within days.
Less than two weeks ago, the bill, dubbed the GENIUS Act, failed to pass the same procedural cloture vote—which ends debate on a measure and advances it towards full floor consideration. At the time, a perfect storm of political winds conspired to derail support for the bill among pro-crypto Democrats. Chief among them: mounting anger in the Democratic Party over President Donald Trump’s perceived crypto-related conflicts of interest.
But tonight, key Democrats jumped back aboard the measure. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Mark Warner (D-VA), Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), and Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD)—all of whom voted against cloture on the GENIUS Act earlier this month—supported the measure tonight. Alsobrooks and Gillibrand initially co-sponsored the bill.
Having received more than 60 votes, the bill will now cruise towards a full floor vote, which could happen as soon as tomorrow, one Senate source familiar with the matter told Decrypt. If all goes according to plan, the vote on the bill itself should see the same margin of passage as tonight’s procedural vote.
The bill would then need to pass a vote in the House before heading to President Trump’s desk. If signed into law, the GENIUS Act would establish a framework for legally issuing stablecoins in the United States.
Stablecoins are crypto tokens, generally pegged to the U.S. dollar, that allow holders to enter and exit digital asset trades without accessing fiat currencies directly. They can also be used to easily send payments and remittances across borders. It is anticipated that once stablecoin legislation passes, once-hesitant Wall Street giants will flood the sector, bringing billions of dollars, if not trillions, into crypto.
What gave the GENIUS Act new wings just days after the bill nearly death spiraled? Last week, Senate Democrats ironed out a new draft of the legislation, which they touted as containing major concessions from Republicans on issues like conflicts of interest, national security protections, and Big Tech.
But it’s unclear if those measures will have enough teeth to make them enforceable. While the new draft forbids all senior executive branch officials from launching their own stablecoins, for example, it still allows the president and vice president to do so—sidestepping the Trump-related concerns that made ethics a prominent issue for the legislation in the first place.
In a similar vein, new language added to the bill in the eleventh hour would prevent Big Tech corporations from launching stablecoins if said corporations tracked and sold users’ sensitive financial data—unless they got customers’ consent to do so in their terms of service.
Another factor that may have shifted political calculus enough to get the GENIUS Act over the 60-vote hump: increased lobbying pressure from industry leaders, who realized that if the bill didn’t pass, hopes for passing any crypto legislation on Capitol Hill this year might die along with it.
Coinbase, for instance, which boasts a tremendous lobbying presence in Washington, had previously dragged its feet in supporting standalone stablecoin legislation—a move intended to increase the likelihood of Congress passing a single crypto bill covering several industry sectors, but that nonetheless frustrated other digital asset policy players. In recent days, with crypto’s entire legislative agenda on life support, Coinbase notably turned up the heat in a push to get the GENIUS Act over the finish line.
The firm’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, made explicitpleas for the bill to be passed immediately. Stand With Crypto, a pro-industry political watchdog launched by Coinbase, warned it would lower politicians’ grades if they voted against cloture on the GENIUS Act tonight—a move the organization notably did not make after the initial cloture vote on the bill earlier this month. Over the weekend, an in-app notification sent out by Coinbase, and seen by Decrypt, urged American users to send their senators a letter demanding the GENIUS Act be passed immediately.
Behind such signifiers churns an immense amount of money. Last year Coinbase, along with a handful of other major American crypto companies, raised over $300 million for pro-crypto super PACs that spent heavily on congressional races. The same super PACs have already raised tens of millions of dollars for the 2026 midterms.

Though the bold fashion choice left some residents visibly uncomfortable, Censori wasn’t breaking any laws.
Since 2020, under Catalonia’s gender equality legislation, women in parts of Spain have had the legal right to go topless in public, including on beaches and in certain outdoor spaces.
According to The Daily Record, local authorities face steep fines of up to €250,000 if they infringe on these rights by attempting to stop topless women in approved areas.

However, despite maintaining a public image of unity, behind the scenes, tension is reportedly brewing between West and Censori.
According to insiders speaking with The U.S. Sun, the “Runaway” rapper is blocking Censori from pursuing high-paying brand deals, causing friction in their relationship.
Insiders claim Censori is growing increasingly “frustrated,” yearning to build her own identity and financial independence apart from her husband.
“She knows she could make tons of money,” a source said. “She wants to explore opportunities as a model, brand ambassador, and a talented individual, not just someone living in the shadow of her husband. But Kanye keeps shutting her down.”
With aspirations to break into modeling and brand partnerships, the insider noted that Censori could earn up to “$6 million annually.”
“She keeps pushing for more independence, but he always says no, and she won’t accept a deal without his approval,” they added.
Discover the top 5 strategies for investing in IGOs to gain an advantage in Web3 gaming project launches. In this guide, we will walk you through choosing a reliable IGO launchpad and each step of the early-stage blockchain gaming process. This knowledge will help you identify opportunities that can yield strong returns.
Key Takeaways
IGOs raised $2.3 billion in 2023, showing resilient interest despite a broader market dip.
An IGO launchpad often requires staking tokens to participate.
Historical data and rolling returns can reveal long-term profit trends.
Diversification and risk management are vital for success.
Community sentiment and strong fundamentals can boost potential returns.
What Is an IGO Launchpad?
An IGO launchpad is a specialized platform where early investors can gain access to blockchain gaming projects before they become widely available. These platforms host token sales, NFT drops, and other in-game assets, offering participants the chance to invest at discounted prices. Popular examples include GameFi, Seedify, Binance NFT, TrustPad, and Red Kite. Each has its own participation rules and staking requirements.
Projects featured on these launchpads vary in scope. Some focus on competitive gameplay with collectible NFTs, while others use unique tokenomics to reward active users. In 2023 alone, IGOs collectively raised $2.3 billion, despite overall market slowdowns, reflecting continued enthusiasm for blockchain-based games.
Strategy 1: Thorough Project Research
Before you invest, research the project fundamentals:
Examine the Whitepaper: Look for clear goals and transparent tokenomics. If the whitepaper is too vague or unclear it might be a red flag.
Check the Team’s Background: Confirm the developers have experience in game development, blockchain or both. A track record of successful projects is a good sign.
Assess Community Engagement: Active social media channels, responsive moderators, and regular updates often mean a project with real potential.
Review Past Performance: Investigate how similar projects on the same launchpad have fared. Use rolling returns—evaluating performance over specific intervals—to spot patterns of success or inconsistency.
Strategy 2: Choose a Reputable IGO Launchpad
Selecting the right platform plays a large part in determining your investment experience. Well-known launchpads like GameFi, Seedify, and Binance NFT typically draw more users and offer a steady flow of new projects. Less-established platforms can also yield good returns, but they may carry additional risks such as lower liquidity or minimal community oversight.
Be sure to:
Compare Staking Requirements: Each launchpad usually requires holding its native token to be eligible for IGO allocations.
Examine Security Measures: Consider how the platform safeguards your assets, whether through smart contract audits or transparent operating procedures.
Strategy 3: Stake or Lock Tokens for Higher Allocations
Many launchpads require you to stake their native tokens to get early access. The staking amount can determine the size of your allocation or your chances of winning a lottery-based slot. For example TrustPad or Red Kite have tiered systems, with higher tiers giving bigger allocations.
When using this strategy:
Allocate Tokens Wisely: Lock up only an amount you can afford for the required period.
Stay Updated: Keep track of changes in platform policies or token values, as market fluctuations can affect your initial staking plan.
Strategy 4: Analyze Past IGOs for Potential Returns
Historical data can help you find which projects and launchpads produce consistent results. According to crypto data aggregators some IGOs have made significant returns while others have underperformed.
Key Research Steps:
Check Historical IGO Data: Launchpads often list previous projects along with initial sale prices and distribution stats. External aggregators like CoinMarketCap or CryptoRank may also provide ROI data.
Evaluate Price Performance: Look at a token’s price before, during, and after the IGO. Compare these figures to gauge potential risk and reward.
Understand Market Conditions: Note the market environment—some IGOs launched during high-growth phases tend to offer higher returns than those that debuted in uncertain conditions.
Recent examples include the Kaby Arena IGO on GameFi, which saw notable trading activity for its NFTs and tokens. Although the exact ROI data is limited, the project’s active community engagement and initial momentum suggested positive early traction. Similar performance tracking can be found for projects listed on CryptoRank.
Strategy 5: Diversify and Track Your Investments
Blockchain gaming is known for high volatility. Some assets may skyrocket after launch, while others lose value quickly if the game fails to attract players. Diversification—spreading your investments across multiple IGOs and even across different platforms—helps minimize exposure to any single failing project.
For streamlined tracking, many launchpads provide investor dashboards.
These tools let you monitor:
Token Holdings and Allocation Details
Price Changes Over Time
Performance Metrics, Including Rolling Returns
Staying up to date with market trends, regulatory updates, and ongoing project developments will help you adjust your strategy promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need a specific crypto wallet for IGOs?
Most IGO launchpads require a compatible wallet like MetaMask or Trust Wallet. The key is ensuring your wallet supports the blockchain network linked to the project and that you hold the platform’s native token for participation.
What kind of returns can I expect from an IGO?
Some projects see their tokens go up a lot if the game’s community grows, others may struggle or go down. Do your research and be prepared for high volatility.
Are there any regulatory concerns with IGOs?
Regulations vary according to the region and can change unexpectedly, potentially affecting the utility and traceability of IGO assets. Keeping informed through official project channels and trusted legal resources is recommended.
Can I sell my IGO tokens immediately after I receive them?
This depends on the vesting schedule that the project sets. Some IGOs use a mechanism to distribute tokens gradually over time. This is designed to prevent an immediate sell-off. Others release tokens in full right away.
Conclusion
Investing in IGOs offers early access to tokens, NFTs, and other in-game assets that may appreciate in value if a gaming project gains traction. Platforms such as GameFi, Seedify, and Binance NFT helped raise $2.3 billion in 2023 alone, reflecting a resilient interest in blockchain gaming.
By doing your research, choosing a good IGO launchpad, staking tokens well, looking at historical data and diversifying your portfolio, you can set yourself up for good returns – but remember the risks that come with early-stage investments.
Stay informed, manage your exposure, and engage with project communities to make the most of emerging opportunities in crypto gaming.
SAG-AFTRA, the massive actors and media union with over 160,000 members, has filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board against Epic Games over its inclusion of an AI-powered Darth Vader in a recent Fortnite update.
Nintendo Switch 2 Price Is Set at $450 for Now, But Could Go Higher
You might have heard about the AI-powered Darth Vader that was added to Epic’s popular battle royale game last week as part of an ongoing Star Wars-themed season. Players could talk to this AI-powered Vader and ask him questions. The AI character’s voice was designed to mimic that of the late James Earl Jones and was done with his and his estate’s permission. Pretty quickly after he was added to the game, players got him to say slurs, swears, and other questionable stuff. Epic patched him up and seems to have gotten the Sith Lord under control. But now the developer is in hot water with one of the largest media unions in the country because it included this AI-powered Vader without first communicating or bargaining with SAG-AFTRA.
On May 19, as reported by Eurogamer, SAG-AFTRA announced that it had filed an unfair labor practice charge against Epic Games and its subsidiary, Llama Productions.
“We celebrate the right of our members and their estates to control the use of their digital replicas and welcome the use of new technologies to allow new generations to share in the enjoyment of those legacies and renowned roles,” said SAG-AFTRA in a statement.
“However, we must protect our right to bargain terms and conditions around uses of voice that replace the work of our members, including those who previously did the work of matching Darth Vader’s iconic rhythm and tone in video games.”
SAG-AFTRA says that Epic and Llama Productions “chose to replace the work of human performers with A.I.” and did so without “providing any notice of their intent to do this” and without allowing the union to bargain over fair terms.
SAG-AFTRA voice actors are currently on strike against large video game companies including EA and Activision over various issues. The strike started in 2024. One of the big ones is more protection against AI copies, like Darth Vader in Fortnite.
Beyond the Gates 2-week spoilers for May 19-30, 2025 see Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle) is betraying her awful mom and Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) is making a huge move.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Drama Unfolds May 19th – 23rd
Let’s get started with the action in week one on Monday, May 19th. Poor Dr. Doug McBride (Jason Graham). He is a liar and a gambling addict who has gotten himself into the worst possible spot. And like any addict, he just can’t seem to crawl out of the hole.
He’s refusing to go to meetings when Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) tried to help him. So Joey may reveal the extent of Doug’s addiction and his debt to Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) to get what he wants, which of course we know is laundering money through her realty company.
Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) is fighting and scheming still to get what she wants this week, which of course is Teddy Bear (Maurice Johnson), as she likes to call him. She’s not going to give up. Leslie is also setting up Eva for her crime of running Laura off the road. I don’t even think Eva knows how to drive a motorcycle, but Leslie sure does.
However, Detective Katherine “Kat” Richardson (Colby Muhammad) is on the case. We’ve also got Laura back this week as the investigation into her crash heats up, and we’ll see if she remembers something about what went down. Possibly something about who ran her off the road.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Derek and Ashley Done?
Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) sees Andre more as a boyfriend these days than a casual hookup. But something is going to change for them soon. Something’s changing in her heart. But something is also changing in Andre’s and that’s because Derek Baldwin (Ben Gavin) and Ashley Morgan (Jen Jacob) are coming apart at the seams.
Living together is tearing them apart on Beyond the Gates. But if Derek and Ashley can’t cohabitate, that means they’re not meant to be. And that could open a door.
Also this week, Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) and Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) worry about June, who seems really sick with something.
Tuesday May 20th: Unexpected Bonds and Broken Hearts
Tuesday, May 20th, Eva is bonding and getting closer to one of her few allies. So, it’s got to be Ted or Martin Richardson.
Ashley’s heart is breaking over how bad things are with Derek. And this week, Andre is over at Ashley’s place hugging and comforting her. Ashley’s thanking Andre for being a good friend, but we all know he wants more. Meanwhile, Derek is lurking outside the apartment listening and looks none too happy.
Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) has Tracy over to the house. She is one of the Articulletes and Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) is there but is taking heat from the ladies over some flirting that is going down.
Wednesday May 21st: Secrets Explode and Truths Revealed
On Wednesday, May 21st, the Dupri face more drama. When did they not? It’s a crisis per week, it seems. Martin’s secret seems to be set to explode. Hot on the heels of Nicole’s marriage going boom. There’s that mystery guy keeping an eye on Martin. We got to worry that he is tied into the dire events that went down that Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) helped cover up.
Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla) may come out as fluid this week or something more. She’s going to get real with the family about her lifestyle preferences.
Eva has to do something tough where Leslie is concerned. I’m wondering and hoping that Eva will throw her awful mom under the bus and reveal that she’s pretty sure that her mom’s the one who ran Laura off the road. Now, Eva has asked Leslie, but she is a liar, and she never tells anyone the truth.
Ashley and Derek face facts about their relationship, which is imploding, and I have to wonder if they are over and done this week.
Thursday May 22nd: Confrontations and Past Secrets Surface
On Thursday, May 22nd, we’ve got Cat talking things over with her parents. So Nicole, Ted, and Cat are in this conversation, the topic of which is Leslie, and whether she’s going to keep on stirring the pot and making trouble for the family.
The answer is yes. Unless Leslie gets Ted, we may never see her stop. And of course, Ted doesn’t want her. He wants Nicole back in his life.
Eva is pushing back on her delusional mom, Leslie, on Thursday. And I wonder if Eva has any idea that her mom is framing her and tried to tell Cat that she ran Laura off the road.
Tracy and Anita keep talking over at the Dupree mansion about what happened to their girl group back in the day.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Eva Thomas – Andre Richardson
Friday May 23rd: Betrayals, Seduction, and Shocking Discoveries
On Friday, May 23rd, Bradley “Smitty” Smith (Mike Manning) has just about had it with Martin keeping secrets and not communicating. Clearly, he’s not told Smitty what happened that night. Martin doesn’t seem to have clear recall of all the events, but he knows enough to keep hiding it from his husband.
Ted goes to see Leslie this week and confronts her while she is trying to seduce him. Leslie wants him in her bed, but Teddy Bear rejects her and makes an accusation likely about Laura’s crash. Ted may push Leslie beyond reason, and then there’s no telling what she does.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Joey Flirts with Vanessa
Joey is flirting quite openly with Vanessa at Orphe Jeans this week and things spark with some blatantly steamy banter between Vanessa and Joey. But then Doug wanders in and sees them together and lightning finally strikes.
His brain has been so addled by his gambling addiction that he did not notice Joey circling Vanessa like the shark that he is. And now all of a sudden Doug finally realizes, “Oh, Joey was playing me all along.” But it’s pretty much too late.
Tracy opens up to Anita about the feelings of her and the other girls in the group when she went solo and ruined their friendship by betraying them.
Beyond the Gates Week 2: Leslie’s Dangerous Plan and More Fallout (May 26th – 30th)
Week two, May 26th through the 30th on Beyond the Gates. We’ve got Leslie getting increasingly desperate as her bid to frame Eva for Laura’s crash is less than successful. And if it finally gets into that delusional cray cray brain of hers that Ted will never be her man, Leslie might get even more dangerous, which is kind of a scary proposition considering how deadly she already is. Cat may not like Eva or want her as a sister, but Leslie is the bigger problem and a problem for both of them.
Week 2 Character Updates: Relationships, Reunions, and Reveals
Meanwhile, Eva keeps making inroads with certain family members, and it could be Martin who’s the key to push the Dupri to see her as more than a scheming interloper and family enemy.
Chelsea deals with reactions to the reveal about her personal life. Obviously, Martin’s going to be cool, but everybody else, that remains to be seen. Hopefully, Dani will handle it well.
Will Vernon get his dream of seeing the Articulletes reunite? If Anita can win over Tracy, she might turn around and advocate to the other ladies to at least hear Anita out. Obviously, she owes some apologies to the other girls.
Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Andre Steps Away?
Ashley and Derek’s relationship was hanging by a thread. And if it snaps, it may take another relationship with it. Don’t forget, Andre is really into Ashley.
And he was just doing the casual hookup thing with Dani because he felt like he didn’t have a shot with Ashley and his surrogate mom Nicole said leave Ashley alone.
But if she truly is alone, Andre may take a step away from Dani, leave her in his rear view and run to comfort her. And if Andre walks out on what he thinks is just this casual fling thing, will Dani come unhinged?
Ted keeps trying to win Nicole back, but Leslie’s ongoing scheming is an ongoing issue. Eva and Ted keep bonding, making up for lost time. And will Vanessa freak out when she hears what Joey has planned for her and how deep Doug is in with this thug?
