Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's latest workout video was roasted by observers on Sunday.

Hegseth posted a video of himself lifting weights with military troops on Saturday, in which it appeared the Defense Secretary was bench pressing 315 pounds. Hegseth can be seen screaming and yelling alongside troops as he re-racked the weights after doing a single rep.

Observers roasted the video on social media on Sunday, with some pointing out that Hegseth's form and the way the weights moved on the rack suggest that he was not benching 315 pounds as he claimed. Others described it as an example of the "beta behavior" that Hegseth has said he wants to root out in the military.

"This is one of the most pathetic things I’ve seen in my life," Bentley Hudgins, Georgia state director for the Human Rights Campaign, posted on X. "Even with his station, Pete acts like an insecure child. Actual beta behavior."

"As a Marine, I learned to put mission first and focus on winning our nation's wars," military veteran Maura C. Sullivan posted on X."If @SecWar wants to be a third-rate fitness influencer, he should go do that — and let a qualified adult run the Pentagon."

"Of all the things that never happened this never happened the most," internet personality Chris Mowrey posted on X.

"This is total bulls--- and the fact that people think it isn’t is f------ mind blowing," Michael A. Gayed, CFA, a portfolio manager, posted on X.

"This video is fake. Pete Hegseth cannot bench 315," political strategist Sawyer Hackett posted on X.

Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders

Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders

The post Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins 20 September 2025 | 04:17 Crypto traders are facing a steady drip of new supply this month, as project teams and early backers release fresh tokens into circulation. What looks like small percentages on paper is building into meaningful selling pressure across multiple ecosystems. Unlocks Becoming a Market Theme According to an analytics tracker, the past week alone saw millions of dollars’ worth of new coins enter the market from projects such as AltLayer, Blast, Avail, Venom, and Parti. AltLayer added roughly $3.5 million in tokens, while Blast introduced more than $2.3 million. In both cases, the amount represented less than 3% of circulating supply — yet the inflows still weighed heavily on trading sentiment. More Supply Ahead The trend is far from over. Another round of unlocks is scheduled for the week of September 22–28, with AltLayer once again leading the pack. By the time its next batch goes live, over 42% of its total supply will have been released. Other names, including KARRAT, XMW, and Yield Guild Games (YGG), will also add to the flow with their own token distributions. Unlocks matter because they create a constant overhang. Even if each release looks minor, stacked together week after week, they erode the balance between supply and demand. AltLayer’s back-to-back schedule makes this clear: the market isn’t just dealing with isolated events but with a pipeline of tokens waiting to be sold. Bigger Picture For traders, that means strategy has to adjust. Pricing these unlocks into positions becomes just as important as monitoring macro conditions or ETF inflows. While unlocks don’t guarantee downward pressure, the compounding effect is already a defining feature of September’s market — one that could shape trading dynamics well into the fourth quarter.
