In the past 5 hours, he spent 38.535 million DAI/USDS to buy 18,273 ETH at a price of $2,109.

These stablecoins came from 17,124 ETH he received from Tornado"

> **Visual Note:** The image is a layered 3D diagram illustrating the Across cross-chain bridge protocol, showing how a User signals intent (1), a Relayer fulfills it across chains (2), a disputed transaction bundle is submitted to UMA's Optimistic Oracle (3), UMA's DVM determines validity (4), and Settlement completes the process (5)—highlighting the two components (Across and UMA) that the post claims PulseChain has acquired.  

> 
> "PulseChain take over of crypto is imminent.

Overnight, pioneers took the bridge and the referee.

Across moves money between chains.
UMA keeps it secure.

Both now belong to PulseChain.

This creates a wide-open, almost uncontested on-ramp for big money to flood in.

Honestly, I can only name like 5-6 off the top of my head USDT, USDC, DAI, FDUSD, USDe, and maybe PYUSD.

Then there are 426 more somewhere 

The stablecoin market has become ridiculously fragmented.
