My pattern plays out again...
Friday weakness. ✔️
Weekend strength. ✔️
This time wasn't different.
The weekend should close above Friday's candle close, bringing the pattern to 12 out of the last 13 instances.$BTC #EarningsRealityCheck Back in 2018, hundreds of domestic exchanges were clustered together, charging coin fees, issuing air assets, and selling customer losses—all sorts of tricks. Now, in 2026, the wave of bankruptcies has arrived—aside from those who just fled, the main problem is that matchmaking deals no longer make money, retail investors have evolved, and regulations are getting stricter. Large firms compete fiercely over services, while smaller firms simply can't survive.
If the crypto world truly wants to revive itself, it must abandon all old tricks and focus on one thing: turning good real-world assets—like US stocks and government bonds—into low-cost, high-efficiency Web3 assets on-chain. This is not something a diploma trader can handle.
---
Looking back at the evolution of finance over the past few centuries:
· The bank has → money that can circulate
· The securities market has → corporate equity that can now be moved
· ETFs have emerged→ allowing a basket of assets to be traded at low cost
· Internet brokerages have emerged→ ordinary people can now buy global assets
· The emergence of blockchain → aims to enable global assets to circulate borderless 24×7 hours a day
The true value of Web3 has never been in building more casinos, but in becoming the next generation of financial infrastructure.
Exchanges that survive aren't about who can create more speculative opportunities, but about who first masters TradFi, carves out a trick on it, and makes Wall Street people take a second look at Web3—that's real skill.
#多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过
#财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? Last night after work, I watched the market for a while. I originally just wanted to see if there was a chance to reduce some positions, but I ended up seeing many people discussing the storage sector. The comment section still had the same saying: “When cyclical stocks have the highest profits, their P/E ratios are often the lowest.” Of course, I agree with this, but I think it only explains the surface and doesn’t answer the question I really care about—how much longer this cycle can last.
Companies like SK Hynix, Micron, Snowflake, and Samsung currently have relatively low valuations. Many people's first reaction is “Don’t touch them, the cycle is at its peak.” But the market actually already knows that the current profit margins can’t be maintained forever, which is why these companies don’t have very high valuations. The real disagreement isn’t whether the cycle will end, but how many more years the supply-demand tightness can last.
If the industry peaks this year and then immediately enters oversupply, price declines, and margin contraction, then the valuations that look cheap now could very well be classic value traps. But if supply tightness can continue for two or three more years, the cash flow these companies accumulate before the cycle truly reverses might be far more than what the current market valuations reflect.
I personally prefer to focus on feedback from companies in the supply chain rather than just watching P/E ratios. At least the information released by several suppliers currently leans toward the latter. SK Hynix mentioned that supply tightness for some memory products might continue until the end of this decade; Samsung, although more conservative, also believes that noticeable supply tightness will last at least until 2027.
Of course, management’s words can’t be trusted 100%, since everyone wants the market to have more confidence in them. But the information they hold is indeed much more complete than that of outside investors, such as customer contracts, equipment purchases, wafer planning, and packaging capacity. These will ultimately be reflected in the pace of capacity expansion, not just slogans.
Another common concern is whether customers will reorder repeatedly.
If the actual installation rate is low, it could mean customers overestimated demand, or it could be due to limited capacity, so everyone locks in supply early. Looking at order quantities alone makes it hard to judge which is the case. I think contract terms are more worth studying.
In this cycle, many customers are willing to sign multi-year agreements, accept price floors and ceilings, pay prepayments, and even share the funding for new capacity construction. From a business logic perspective, if demand were only short-term, few would lock resources years in advance or willingly bear expansion risks for suppliers. I think this is more meaningful than order numbers.
HBM is also an area I’ve been paying close attention to. Its biggest difference from traditional DRAM is that new supply is no longer as easy to release. HBM consumes more wafer capacity, requires higher yields, and advanced packaging further limits expansion speed. From HBM3E to HBM4 and HBM4E, manufacturing complexity continues to increase, so the newly added capacity is likely absorbed by the higher manufacturing intensity per product rather than simply turning into more shipments.
The same logic applies to TSMC and ASML.
The more advanced AI chips are, the more they rely on leading processes, EUV equipment, and advanced packaging working together. Whether it’s TSMC building new fabs, ASML delivering equipment, or customers completing capacity expansions, the whole process can’t be done in just a few quarters. Supply will definitely increase, but the speed of increase may not be as fast as the market imagines.
On the demand side, some worry whether Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom will face pressure in the future because big companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are currently very aggressive in purchasing AI accelerators and custom chips. If data center construction cools down, inventory, prices, and margins could all be affected.
I think this risk does exist, so I won’t keep my positions fully loaded just because I’m optimistic about the cycle. But on the other hand, AI computing demand itself is changing. Training still requires massive computing power, inference demand is expanding, and agents as well as more custom chip projects continue to add new loads. Even if the growth rate of a certain chip category slows, new demand sources might continue to push the entire construction cycle further out.
In the past two years, I think the biggest characteristic of the supply chain is that bottlenecks keep moving. At first, everyone fought for GPUs, then HBM and advanced packaging became the constraints, and later it was optical modules, power, cooling, and data center capacity. The constantly changing bottlenecks themselves indicate that the entire industry is still expanding on multiple physical layers, not yet reaching a very clear endpoint.
My understanding is that semiconductor cycles certainly won’t disappear. Supply will eventually catch up with demand, prices will return to normal, and margins will decline. What’s really worth comparing is whether the market’s current valuations, which reflect expectations about the cycle’s end time, align with actual contract durations, expansion speeds, and supplier feedback.
If AI demand slows earlier than expected, then these low valuations might indeed be warning of risk; but if physical bottlenecks in the supply chain remain unresolved and new capacity release can’t keep up, then what the market is underestimating might not be these companies’ profitability but how long the entire boom cycle can last.
So I’m not blindly overweight just because valuations are low, nor will I avoid the sector outright just because of the saying “low P/E in cyclical stocks means the top.” I prefer to track industry data while adjusting my positions. After all, the cycle will end, but it might not reverse quickly next year as the market pricing suggests. Leaving some room in trading is much more comfortable than betting on a single direction.

$SKHYNIX $MU #Ethereum validator exit queue has dropped to zero
I discovered a very magical phenomenon.
The Ethereum validator exit queue has been directly cleared, but ETH wanting to be staked has to wait in line for more than 40 days.
On one side, no one wants to leave; on the other, new money is scrambling to get in. Isn't this signal obvious enough?
My view is simple: this wave is not retail investors playing, but institutions bottom-fishing and locking up. Big holders like BitMine have staked 70% of their ETH in one go, clearly not planning to sell in the short term. Plus, with continuous inflows into ETFs, the circulating supply in the entire market is quietly shrinking. Many people anxiously watch the candlestick charts daily, thinking ETH can't rise, but look at this data—no one wants to sell, and new money is still queuing to enter. This itself is a pretty strong signal.
Speaking of Bitcoin, this staking wave has actually brought indirect benefits to it. Previously, people worried about "ETH crashing dragging down BTC," but now that the exit queue is zeroed out, ETH's selling pressure has basically disappeared, and Bitcoin has lost one of its biggest "ball and chains." More importantly, ETH staking locks up a large amount of liquidity, effectively reducing the total market supply. Bitcoin's supply is already decreasing after the halving, and with ETH also exiting circulation in large amounts, both sides are shrinking supply, which is a double support for the price.
Of course, risks are not absent. Validators are too concentrated, and large nodes have too much influence, which is not good for decentralization. But given the current situation, I don't think there's a need to be too pessimistic. After this 40-plus-day queue is digested, market supply will be tighter.
On a side note, meme coins are crazy today. Could a wild bull market be coming?!

Quarterly profits spilled 150 trillion KRW! SK Hynix's financial report explosion—whose 'AI bubble theory' was shattered?
In a couple of days (the 29th), SK Hynix will officially release its Q2 financial report. According to the latest forecasts from 14 Yonhap Infomax institutions, SK Hynix's Q2 operating profit is expected to surpass 64.09 trillion KRW—this quarter's profit alone exceeds last year's full-year 47.2 trillion KRW by a full 17 trillion KRW!
Including 37.61 trillion won in the first quarter, SK Hynix's operating profit in the first half of the year alone surpassed the 100 trillion won mark. If Samsung Electronics' DS division also includes the Q2 forecast of 89.4 trillion won, the combined operating profit of these two major Korean semiconductor giants in the second quarter alone will exceed 150 trillion won.
Seeing this set of exaggerated financial data, honestly, those who previously claimed "AI investment can't break even" and "AI capital spending is a bubble" were all left speechless.
Behind this set of data lies the core truth behind global tech capital flows:
The huge capex (capital expenditure) invested by tech giants on AI infrastructure is not a bottomless pit, but precisely converted into trillions of yuan in fiat cash flow on the books of sellers in storage and computing power. HBM high-bandwidth memory is not telling a story, but the world's most competitive and profitable physical commodity today.
For the crypto market, this explosive financial report is of immense significance.
Recently, US tech stocks pulled back, causing many retail investors in the crypto market to panic. But the quarterly profits of 150 trillion won from South Korea's two major chip giants directly prove that the cash flow and self-generating ability of the AI computing power industry chain are unbreakable.
When the computing power of the physical world becomes the most profitable asset, those junk knockoffs in crypto that rely on unlimited token inflation to print money will only be rapidly eliminated; On the contrary, infrastructure that can truly connect to physical computing networks, promote computing power tokenization (such as Gensyn and Virtuals protocols), and provide on-chain computing power revenue distribution is undergoing a value reevaluation of traditional capital.
My conclusion: With SK Hynix's earnings report officially released on the 29th, it is highly likely to dispel macro capital's last wait-and-see sentiment toward tech stocks and computing power Capex.
Do you think SK Hynix's earnings report on the 29th exceeded expectations and will trigger a new round of counterattacks in tech stocks and the crypto AI sector? Let's talk in the comments.Bitcoin is not safe here.
The whole time it is under $66,000, there is a clear pathway to the Realised Cap at $54,000,
The consolidation under $66,000 only becomes a deviation once Bitcoin has reclaimed that level again.
If it does not reclaim, then it becomes a potential bearish consolidation that leads to deeper lows.
With the current corrective price action, this cannot be ruled out as impossible.
There are a few key things to note however.
This bottoming structure is almost identical to 2022.
And we were correctively moving back then also, with a very similar weekly candle to what we are getting right now.
That candle and the weeks that followed sent the timeline into a massive "$12k is coming" frenzy...
But it did not come, and Bitcoin began impulsing out of thin air.
We also had a bullish divergence, and the same percentage of coins sitting in a loss.
In 2022 we spent 10 weeks below $18,000.
Right now, we are 7 weeks since we tagged below $60,000.
The similarities are uncanny$BTC 加密交易所 BitMart 在宣布关闭前数日，其链上公开资产储备大幅下滑，从本月12日的约1200万美元降至26日的约231万美元。目前其链上仅189万美元资产：其中 Ethereum 链约81.5万美元、Solana 链约66万美元、BSC 链约36.2万美元、Starknet 链约3.7万美元、Bitcoin 仅约1.7万美元。$COIN's core contradiction is that its valuation logic is shifting from spot exchanges that rely solely on crypto trading cycles to infrastructure covering asset issuance and settlement, but the proportion of short-term fee income still determines cash flow stability.
Currently, the market views $COIN as an elastic amplifier of the crypto cycle, with its early underlying profit model relying entirely on commission commissions from buying and selling spot currencies like BTC and ETH in US dollars.
The driving factors are ranked as follows: the depth of financial infrastructure expansion beyond trading business, the speed of overall crypto market trading volume recovery, and the hedging effect of non-trading revenue against cyclical downturns.
The trigger for an upward scenario is that asset service boundaries successfully cross single spot trading. If its income growth in issuance and settlement exceeds traditional spot fees, the market will anchor the valuation system as a comprehensive financial infrastructure across the chain, thereby raising the valuation center.
The failure signal of this scenario is a devastating contraction in overall spot trading volume of crypto assets, making it impossible for infrastructure revenue to fill the fee gap.
The trigger for the downward scenario is that business expansion fails to change the dependence on revenue structure. When a bear market cycle causes trading activity to remain sluggish, the profit base relying solely on fees will once again drag down overall financial performance.
The downward scenario is signaling the failure of the downward script: the proportion of non-trading business revenue has broken through a critical threshold, causing the decline in transaction volume to no longer drag down the company's total revenue in tandem.
The most important variable to watch over the next seven days is the marginal trend of crypto spot trading volume in total revenue contribution and the pace of business advancement for non-trading products.
#财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer from Google and Tesla this time? #SPCX因星舰发射与解禁引发多空分歧#Korean Storage Giants Secure Major AI Orders from Dual Titans
AI computing power enters the order fulfillment phase
The AI industry chain welcomes another major positive development
South Korea's storage chip leaders Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix simultaneously secured long-term cooperation orders from AI giant Anthropic. Meanwhile, NVIDIA announced a $1 billion investment in South Korean internet giant Naver to build an AI data center and further expand cooperation with SK Group. This series of moves indicates that the global AI competition has shifted from model competition to infrastructure competition.
What truly deserves attention is not just one or two orders, but the fact that global tech giants continue to increase capital expenditures.
Whether it's OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, or Microsoft, they are all continuously increasing AI computing power investments. HBM high-bandwidth memory, GPUs, servers, and data centers have become the scarcest resources in the AI industry chain.
Previously, the market once worried about a slowdown in AI investments, but recent news breaks those concerns. Intel raised its earnings guidance, Qualcomm announced price hikes, and now Samsung and SK Hynix have secured long-term orders again, all indicating that AI demand remains strong and has gradually expanded from GPUs to storage, networking equipment, and data centers across the entire industry chain.
I believe this means the AI market is entering its second phase.
The first phase was driven by expectations—whoever told the AI story rose; the second phase competes on orders, performance, and capital expenditures. Whoever can continuously secure AI orders has a better chance of market revaluation.
For the capital market, $NVDA, $AMD, $AVGO, $TSM, and other computing power and semiconductor leaders remain the core beneficiaries, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix will continue to benefit from the supply shortage of HBM and growing AI server demand.
For the crypto market, this also sends a positive signal.
As AI infrastructure continues to expand, AI sector tokens are expected to keep attracting capital attention. Projects like $TAO, $FET, and $RENDER remain important representatives of the AI sector. Meanwhile, the improved AI industry outlook also helps enhance overall market risk appetite, indirectly supporting mainstream crypto assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL.
What the market really needs to focus on is not whether the AI concept can still be promoted, but whether global tech giants continue to invest.
As long as data centers are still being built, GPUs are still being continuously procured, and HBM remains in short supply, it means this AI industry cycle is far from over. The true beneficiaries in the future will not only be model companies but the entire computing power industry chain and related assets developed around the AI ecosystem. Big Tech's earnings delivered the reality check the AI trade has been dodging. Alphabet and Tesla both reported, and both stocks sank, not on weak results (Google Cloud grew 82%) but on rising AI capex guidance. The market has flipped: spending on AI used to be rewarded as vision, now it's scrutinized as cost.
This is the same story that hit semis all week, viewed from the demand side. Investors aren't questioning whether AI is real; they're questioning the return on hundreds of billions in capex before the revenue catches up. For crypto it's a useful mirror: narratives get repriced the moment the market demands proof over promise. Risk-off today (BTC $64K) echoes that same "show me the ROI" mood bleeding across tech.
Just my read, not advice. The grand finale of the month, just on July 30th
The last few days of July, don’t be fooled by the lukewarm market. On Thursday (7/30) Beijing time, two major events packed:
2 AM, Federal Reserve decision. This time no one is betting on a rate cut—the probability is basically 0, the only disagreement is between "hold steady vs. raise 25 basis points." Two weeks ago, the chance of a rate hike was just over 10%, but with oil prices breaking $100 and the US-Iran conflict starting, now it’s surged to over 35%. The real highlight is the 2:30 AM press conference by Powell; he speaks little, gives no guidance, but one sentence can reprice September.
8:30 PM, Q2 GDP. The current tracking estimate is only 1.7%, even cooler than Q1. Growth is cooling down, inflation is still burning—stagflation vibes.
BTC is stuck at 65,000, sentiment is at freezing point (fear index 29), ETFs are still bleeding. On such a thin market, bad data will only cause bigger ripples.
🔴 Resistance 66,000-67,000
🟢 Support 62,000, 58,000 is the lifeline
My approach: no heavy bets on direction before data release, light positions waiting for the shoe to drop. #财报观察员：谁能看懂谷歌和特斯拉这次的真实答卷？ $BTC $ETH $SNDK ⚠️ Let's start with an unusual phenomenon: the S&P 500 barely fell, the Dow even rose, but the Nasdaq and several tech leaders clearly weakened. This is not a broad rally or a broad decline, but rather capital rearranging its seats. 📊 Latest closing data: As of 00:10 Beijing time on July 27, US stocks are closed for the weekend. The latest effective data is the closing at 04:00 on July 25: SPY: $738.93, +0.10%; QQQ: $684.23, -1.12%; DIA: $518.76, +0.48%; AAPL: $333.02, +3.53%; GOOGL: $319.74, +0.65%. MSFT: $381.70, +0.03% NVDA: $206.84, -0.92% AMZN: $232.11, -0.66% META: $595.19, -1.80% TSLA: $313.03, -2.08% 🍎 Apple is strong, but can't save the entire tech sector Apple rose 3.53% in a single day, with its stock price very close to its 52-week high of $334.99. However, at the same time, QQQ fell 1.12%, with Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla collectively pulling back. This shows that funds are not indiscriminately buying tech stocks, but are instead flowing into a handful of strong companies. Nowadays, the US stock market isn't just about "buying tech"—it's about choosing the wrong stock, and the index rise has nothing to do with you. 🔍 Watching next weekI originally just wanted to try Babylon, but ended up turning the test vault into a life-or-death situation
At first, I really didn’t intend to play this big. When I first entered the Babylon TBV testnet, I only created a small Vault, borrowed a bit of test assets, and the health factor was very safe. At that time, I even pretended to be rational, telling myself I was just experiencing the process and would never leverage.
But within ten minutes, I started to feel the position was too light. The test coins weren’t real money, so what was there to fear? So I gradually increased the borrowing limit bit by bit. Every time I clicked confirm, I felt like I wasn’t taking a risk but rather “improving capital efficiency.”
What gamblers are best at is finding a reason that sounds professional to justify their actions.
The health factor slowly dropped, but I actually liked it more and more. The closer the number got to 1, the more I felt this position was being fully utilized. Until BTC suddenly plunged, I realized that the so-called “high capital efficiency” translated into human language meant I was close to liquidation.
When the page showed a risk warning, I could have repaid some first. But I didn’t. I stared at the candlestick chart thinking, just wait a bit longer, a rebound will make it safe.
But the rebound never came, the health factor fell below 1 first, and the Vaults ahead directly entered the liquidation process.
At that moment, I finally stopped pretending. I started frantically recalling what I did when building the position: which Vault was ahead, which was behind, and whether liquidation would handle all BTC together?
It was only then that I truly realized the Vaults in TBV aren’t just random names on the page. Behind each Vault is an independent UTXO on the Bitcoin network. They don’t mix into a common fund pool but are separated one by one.
Liquidation isn’t about the platform taking as much as it wants but is executed in the preset Vault order, by complete Vault units. In other words, when I found splitting Vaults troublesome before, now that trouble has come, I realize that was actually prearranging my own “liquidation order.”
What impressed me even more was that throughout the process, BTC was never moved to another chain. The borrowing status, health factor, and liquidation conditions changed in external DeFi applications, but the native BTC remained locked on Bitcoin, not wrapped into another asset, nor handed over to any custodian.
Before, when I played DeFi, what I feared most wasn’t the market dropping but that when the market dropped, cross-chain bridges, custodians, and protocols would all fail together. TBV doesn’t solve gamblers’ love for leverage, nor will it let liquidation slide just because you insist otherwise.
But at least it separates two things:
I can be liquidated because my position is too heavy—that’s my judgment error; but I don’t need to give up control of BTC to others just to use BTCFi.
This time it was just a testnet, and the losses weren’t real money, but I was still thoroughly educated. Before, when building a position, the first thing I did was calculate how much I could borrow; now I first think about which Vault would be liquidated first if BTC suddenly crashes, and which Vaults can remain.
Babylon TBV didn’t make me quit leverage.
It just made me understand one thing:
You can keep gambling, but you can’t put the keys up as collateral together.
#Babylon #TBV #Bitcoin #BTCFi #DeFi
$BABY $BTC
I'm not convinced that long-term Bitcoin holders—who now control a record share of the supply—are suddenly going to start dumping coins here just because the Nasdaq might see another leg lower.
The Nasdaq is already roughly 10% off its highs. Unless your view is that equities are entering a broader macro bear market, the realistic downside from here doesn't seem enormous. Even in a weaker scenario, we're probably talking about another 5–10%.
What's interesting is that Bitcoin hasn't been moving in lockstep with the Nasdaq for quite some time. Over the past year, it's often traded on its own set of drivers, and on higher time frames the relationship has been far less straightforward than many assume.
We've also seen BTC front-run major turns in risk assets before. Because of that, I don't think a potential Nasdaq move lower, by itself, is a particularly strong case for calling for new Bitcoin lows.
Could it happen? Sure. But I think the argument needs more than just "Nasdaq down, therefore BTC down."

#BTCSecurityAlliance #ETHExitQueueZero #OKXTraderVoices The future of the crypto market remains uncertain: Key data is coming in a concentrated stream, and the market is quietly awaiting a directional decision
Over the past week, the tech giants' earnings season has given the market a thorough wash. As Google, Tesla, and Nvidia have successively "handed over," investors' patience and confidence are facing a test. The next four days will be the real "tough battle"—the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, key economic data releases, and the earnings of core stocks like Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple to be delivered one after another.
Giants lead first, but the answer sheet is far from perfect
Reviewing the disclosed results, Google's free cash flow has fallen short of expectations amid slowing cloud business growth, prompting market questions about its capital expenditure efficiency; Tesla, on the other hand, is facing significant pressure on profit margins due to declining profit margins. As for Nvidia, although it still has considerable unrealized gains on paper, its valuation level and customer concentration risks remain looming swords, and the market doubts the sustainability of its future growth rate.
Wednesday: Interest rate decision and the "double test" of Microsoft and Meta
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve will announce its latest interest rate decision. Currently, the market generally expects the benchmark rate to remain unchanged, but the key focus is on Powell's wording at the press conference. I judge that its stance will most likely maintain a cautiously hawkish tone, emphasizing caution about inflation, but in practice, the room for liquidity tightening is already quite limited. Currently, U.S. tech companies are at a peak in AI infrastructure investment. If tightened excessively, it will directly impact the financing environment and expansion willingness of the computing power industry chain.
On the same day, Microsoft and Meta's earnings reports will be released first. For Microsoft, the market focus will be on the growth rate of Azure's cloud business. If its constant exchange rate growth falls below the critical psychological threshold of 38%, it may trigger some funds to temporarily exit and observe the market. Meta's stock price has remained sluggish over the past several quarters. If Zuckerberg signals at the earnings call that he will continue to significantly increase AI capital expenditures and lacks a clear commercialization timeline, it may exhaust market patience and accelerate capital outflows.
Thursday: GDP and PCE join forces to put pressure on consumer electronics giants
Thursday's pressure was even more direct. The preliminary US Q2 GDP and core PCE inflation data will be released one after another. The most worrying scenario in the current market is undoubtedly the rising expectation of "stagflation"—that is, signs of slowing economic growth while inflation stubbornly hovers around 2.5%. If this combination materializes, highly valued tech growth stocks will face further valuation compression pressure.
In terms of performance, Amazon and Apple will make a grand finale. The growth rate of Amazon AWS is a core variable, with Bank of America expecting its cloud business to grow by about 33%. If it can reach or surpass this level, it will positively boost the computing power storage industry chain of companies such as Nvidia, SK Hynix, and Micron; Conversely, it could trigger short-term volatility across the entire AI hardware chain. For Apple, the market is no longer satisfied with Cook's forward-looking guidance; the actual shipment volume and revenue changes in the Chinese iPhone market are the key indicators determining the stock price direction.
Unlike the market in previous years that were willing to offer high premiums for AI visions, today's investors have become extremely pragmatic. Cash flow quality, customer diversity, and return on capital have become new standards for measuring corporate value. In the coming days, there will be a comprehensive assessment of the quality of global core technology assets.
Market performance and ETF capital movements
Looking back at today's crypto market, the trend remains weak. As of the afternoon of July 26 Beijing time, Bitcoin (BTC) was fluctuating narrowly between $65,200 and $65,400. Technically, $65,700 has become a key rebound after a short-term breakout, while a new resistance zone has formed in the $66,200-$66,500 area above. Ethereum (ETH) slowly climbed to around $1,880, but the rebound was clearly weak, with weak bullish momentum.
It is worth noting that although some Bitcoin ETFs have occasionally seen net inflows recently, the market has not followed the upward trend, showing a "price not following" pattern. This indicates that inflows may only be short-term arbitrage or hedging opportunities, while existing funds continue to withdraw, and the market lacks new medium- to long-term allocation strength.
Before macro uncertainty materializes, risk assets are unlikely to experience a trend. For those who continue to burn cash, have uncertain commercialization prospects, or have an overly narrow client base, whether traditional tech stocks or crypto assets, aggressive participation in the short term is not advisable.
This article is for market analysis and opinion sharing only, and does not constitute any investment advice.The market appears to be rebounding, but the real pricing is selective harvesting
Is this a sign of a comprehensive recovery, or is it capital concentrating on safe havens?
The core judgment of the original text is: this is not the starting point for a broad rally for altcoins, but rather a precise liquidity harvest. Funds have not spread evenly across the entire market, but are highly concentrated in BTC, ETH, and a few sector leaders, forming an "organized local rebound" rather than a full recovery. This view aligns closely with on-chain data and the divergence in sector strength.
Key fact: The original text divides the market into three tiers. The first layer is liquidity magnets: BTC and ETH are the core anchors for institutional funds. SOL follows due to its high beta attributes but fluctuates sharply, while TAO and WLD represent sentiment leading indicators for AI concepts but are still in the early speculative stage. The second layer consists of incentive tokens: MEME, HUMA, EDEN, AERO, etc., driven by specific narratives (Meme, DeFi, L2), but with unstable trading volumes. If BTC stabilizes, they may become candidates for the next rotation. The third layer is consistently weak coins: TRUMP, VIRTUAL, SPACE, etc., barely rebound, indicating the market is voting with its feet, liquidating projects lacking fundamentals or overdrawn narratives, with liquidity drying up. Any pullback will accelerate downward movement.
Market structure changes: The HYPE indicator shows a neutral risk appetite, with speculative funds still on the sidelines; Retail sentiment indicators such as DOGE and ZEC showed limited gains, indicating that retail capital has not yet entered the market on a large scale. This means that the current rebound is not driven by retail FOMO, but by existing institutions allocated to specific assets.
Transmission logic and pricing impact:
- Bullish path: If BTC breaks through previous highs and drives ETH up strongly, funds will flow from leading stocks to Layer 2 tokens, forming healthy sector rotation. Condition: Macro data (such as CPI, Federal Reserve statements) do not cause disturbances.
- Bearish risk: If BTC fluctuates at this level and then pulls back, due to the very poor "width" of the rebound—most coins did not follow the rally—they lack support, and pullbacks will accelerate blood loss. Condition: BTC cannot hold high levels or unexpected macro negative factors occur.
Conclusion: At this stage, one should not blindly buy altcoins, but rather observe which tokens can independently break the trend during BTC sideways trading. It wouldn't be too late to act after it had proven its own strength.
What do you think: if BTC holds above $100,000, can ETH take over as the engine for the next round of capital rotation? $BTC $ETH $SOL #板块强弱Do you think that as long as the market drops, retail investors should be scared out of their wits?
But recently, I've been watching ETH's long-short data and noticed a particularly counterintuitive phenomenon—the lower the price, the more excited the bulls become, like running into a supermarket when they see a discount. But if they rebound even slightly, these people would quickly take profits and flee as if burned. They talk about holding long-term, but in reality, they can't even hold onto two or three bullish candlesticks. The proportion of long-short accounts flips every few minutes, and the number of positions fluctuates with the price: when prices rise, they rush to add positions; when they fall, they quickly retreat. This feeling is faster than flipping a book, but what about real big money? Reduce positions when necessary, observe when necessary; don't chase just because of a single bullish candle, nor panic because of a single bearish candle.

It has been falling steadily from $2,400 for almost three months now. Every day, people are calling for bottom-fishing, and there are also people cutting losses. But I think what the market is really trading isn't whether ETH can break above 2400, but rather the completely different capital preferences between retail investors and institutions.
- Retail investors prefer to buy the bottom emotionally on long positions but lack patience, rushing to cash in at the first sign of a profit.
- Institutions pay more attention to risk-reward ratios, preferring to wait for lower levels or clear right-side signals.
- Recent security hacking incidents have also affected sentiment, shifting some funds toward safer assets or cold wallets, draining a portion of liquidity.
The bullish logic is: if ETH can hold above $1900 and then challenge $2000, it could attract a wave of wait-and-see funds entering the market, leading to a short-term rebound. But the risk is that the current bullish bottom-fishing forces are too fragile. If the rebound fails, it could actually fuel the next wave of declines. After all, when open interest rapidly decreases during a decline, it indicates strong bullish willingness to stop losses, making the price easily suppressed by bears.
So my judgment is: ETH is now more like a bottoming out rather than reversing. Retail investors' emotional fluctuations actually make big money more willing to wait. Instead of worrying about gains and losses every day, it's better to control your position and patiently wait for a clearer signal. I hope that next time I open my account, I'll no longer see the glaring red.

$ETH $BTC #以太坊 #市场情绪 #资金偏好The Complete Downfall Story of the Mobile Mining Pioneer: Core Foundation and Maple Finance Settlement Agreement
$CORE 0.015CORE/USDT-50% "Neither party admits fault, but time is running out"
1. Event Timeline Reconstruction
At the beginning of 2025, Core Foundation and Maple Finance collaborated to launch lstBTC, allowing Bitcoin holders to earn yields through the Core chain. Core invested technology, marketing, and substantial subsidies, while Maple's Assets Under Management (AUM) surged from less than $500 million to $2.8 billion. The lstBTC pilot project attracted over $150 million in Bitcoin deposits.
However, by mid-2025, Maple was accused of using confidential information obtained during the partnership to secretly develop a competing product, syrupBTC, violating the 24-month exclusivity clause in their agreement. Core immediately filed for an injunction in the Cayman Islands Grand Court, successfully blocking Maple from launching syrupBTC and prohibiting Maple from trading CORE tokens.
More troublingly, Maple later claimed it needed to impair the $150 million Bitcoin deposits, implying it might not fully return users' principal. Core firmly stated these assets were held in a bankruptcy-remote structure, and Maple had no right to impair them.
2. The True Nature of the Settlement Agreement
The settlement statement you see uses typical PR language of "neither party admits fault":
"The settlement is not, and is not to be construed as, an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party."
But this does not mean Core gained nothing. The core logic of the settlement is a deal, not a judgment:
What Maple got:
- The right to continue launching syrupBTC: the injunction was lifted, allowing Maple to proceed with its Bitcoin yield product as planned
- Avoidance of a permanent court ban from this sector
- Preservation of company reputation and operational continuity (Maple manages over $3 billion in assets; prolonged litigation would be fatal to its financing and partnerships)
What Core got (implicitly):
- Termination of arbitration and litigation costs: cross-border arbitration plus Cayman court procedures, with astronomical legal fees and time
- Safe recovery of the $150 million Bitcoin deposits: this is the most critical point. Maple previously threatened to "impair" user deposits. If Maple fell into liquidity crisis or bankruptcy due to litigation, the chain reaction for Core as a partner (user claims, reputation collapse) would far exceed the loss of an exclusive partner. The settlement likely hinges on Maple's commitment to fully or largely repay user principal.
- Possible settlement payment: the statement says "financial terms are confidential," implying Maple likely paid Core an undisclosed compensation amount in exchange for Core dropping the lawsuit and relinquishing exclusivity rights
- Damage control: CORE token had already dropped about 90% in 2025; ongoing litigation exposure was a continuous drain on token price and community confidence. Ending the dispute stops the bleeding.
3. Why This Is Not "Free Traffic"
Your feeling—"Core helped Maple validate the sector, and in the end Maple jumped ship with the resources to do it themselves"—is valid on a business level. But behind this are several harsh realities:
1. The lstBTC model itself is already broken
Observers have pointed out that lstBTC's yield source was actually CORE token inflation/subsidies, not real Bitcoin interest. After CORE token price plummeted 90%, this yield model became unsustainable. Even if Maple had not jumped ship, lstBTC might have naturally died due to the collapse of the token economic model.
2. The fragility of hybrid DeFi contracts
This case exposed the structural risk of "on-chain products, off-chain contracts." Maple is an independent, mature DeFi platform with technical capability and user base. The 24-month exclusivity agreement is valid on paper, but in an open-source, permissionless industry, preventing a mature platform from developing competing products is nearly impossible. Litigation can delay but cannot stop it forever.
3. Core's strategic shift
The settlement statement says Core will "continue focusing on advancing the Core network and expanding its Bitcoin product offerings." This implies Core has abandoned the lstBTC path through Maple and is instead building infrastructure itself or seeking new partners. The marginal benefit of dwelling on old disputes is now less than looking forward.
4. Summary
The essence of this settlement agreement is:
Maple bought the freedom to launch competing products with money/commitments (confidential terms); Core exchanged exclusivity rights for ending litigation, preserving user assets, and stopping token price bleeding.
So Maple continuing syrupBTC is not because it "won" or Core "backed down," but because in the middle of this commercial war, both sides realized the cost of continuing exceeded the benefits. Maple gained product freedom; Core gained damage control and possible compensation—this is a typical "out-of-court division" outcome in the crypto industry.
As for whether the $150 million Bitcoin deposits can safely return to users, that is the true touchstone of this settlement. If Maple ultimately repays users' principal in full, it shows $CORE's tough stance (injunction application, public pressure) indeed protected the community; if users are ultimately "impaired," then this settlement is truly a failure.

Take for example an NFT worth 160 ETH. In just one day, its owner earned 13 ETH from transaction fees. ⚡
Naturally, he accepts the 0.000025% probability of being withdrawn by someone else. If that risk occurs, 160 ETH will evaporate instantly. 💰

@RhynoticChangxin's IPO: Why is it firmly bearish on Samsung and SK Hynix?
Changxin Technology will be listed on the STAR Market tomorrow, officially releasing large-scale domestic DRAM production capacity and directly challenging the monopoly of Samsung and SK Hynix.
The surge in storage over the past two years was entirely driven by Korean manufacturers' production and price controls, fully benefiting from AI dividends, with stock prices and valuations already at high levels.
But now the logic has completely reversed:
After Changxin's capacity ramps up, the domestic supply chain will be fully localized, continuously diverting orders from Korean manufacturers. Coupled with the collective expansion of overseas storage giants, DRAM supply will only continue to increase in the future, and the previous price hike cycle has basically peaked.#RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元
The data on RWA perpetual contracts is indeed a bit intimidating.
The report just released by The Block shows that the monthly trading volume in June reached $470 billion. It was only $85 billion in January, a 450% increase in half a year. In the first quarter, the entire market's RWA perpetual contracts reached $524.8 billion, surpassing the whole previous year in just one quarter.
The most impressive part is tokenized stocks, which increased sevenfold in half a year. SPCX alone traded $66 billion in June; it just IPOed two weeks ago, and its on-chain trading volume exceeds that of most altcoins over a year. Semiconductor stocks like MU, SNDK, and SK Hynix are also following closely behind.
The platform concentration is also shockingly high. Binance, Hyperliquid, and OKX together account for over 80%, with Binance alone nearly half. Hyperliquid is the only on-chain player among them; in the second week of July, RWA trading volume was $25.1 billion, accounting for 52% of the platform's total trading volume, surpassing all other asset classes combined for the first time. ARK analysts say this marks a new phase for DeFi.
But honestly, there are a few things worth pondering behind the $470 billion figure.
First, how did this money flow in? No KYC, 24/7 trading, up to 20x leverage—things that require filling out a bunch of forms and waiting for T+2 settlement in traditional brokerages can be done with just a wallet address on-chain. This is indeed convenient but also a huge regulatory gray area. The SEC hasn't officially acted yet, but it can't ignore it forever.
Second, the growth relies heavily on a single event. The June surge was largely driven by the SpaceX IPO. SPCX alone traded $66 billion, accounting for about one-seventh of the entire sector. Once the IPO momentum fades, whether daily trading volume can hold up is the real test.
Third, traditional finance is accelerating its entry. On July 16, DTCC launched tokenized real asset testing, with JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and BlackRock all on the list. Ondo also launched Ondo Perps in early July, supporting tokenized stocks as collateral with up to 20x leverage. Coinbase Ventures has already listed RWA perpetuals as a primary investment track. The sector is growing, but competition is also intensifying.
RWA perpetuals grew from $85 billion to $470 billion in just half a year. The speed is indeed fierce, but the fiercer the sector, the tighter the regulatory scrutiny. A $470 billion derivatives market without KYC cannot remain in a gray area forever. 给大家解释下的通过窗口期为什么是7月底到8月初。
7月底是参议院的投票窗口 。
8月7号是参议院进入夏季休会期。
如果8月7号没过，那么后面就是中期选举周期，基本上就不会通过了这个法案。
如果你经历过比特币通过ETF那段时间的行情，那么我认为你也能理解这个法案可能是未来牛市中 $BTC 新高的催化剂。
如果你说两者不是一回事，只能说你太幼稚。压根不适合玩金融游戏。刚看到一个数据，ETH的Gas这周平均不到5 gwei。
搁三年前，低于10 gwei大家都喊「大牛市要来抄底」。现在链上静悄悄的，交易量也没缩多少，就是真没啥人发ERC20了。
说两个观察👇
1️⃣ L2开始吃流量了
Arbitrum、Base每天的活跃地址加起来已经是以太坊主网的3倍多。当年吹的「以太坊不够用所以需要L2」，现在变成「都在L2玩了谁还回主网」。
2️⃣ ETH的定位在慢慢变
以前大家买ETH是为了「在以太坊上gas」，现在更多是当BTC的替代品来囤。质押年化3%出头，比买理财强点，但真要说捕获价值，感觉有点尴尬。
我个人觉得，ETH早晚得找到新的叙事。Defi那波周期靠的是TVL，NFT那波靠的是meme和热度，下一波会是什么？
我还没答案，但链上真实用户和开发者数量摆在那，底子在，就看能不能憋出来下一个杀手级应用了。

Damn! Ethereum staking exits have completely cooled off, but the entries are packed like a doghouse! What the hell are these people on?
Stop fixating on that damn exit queue. It’s not "down to zero," it’s dead. Those who wanted to leave have already left. Now the door is wide open, the wind is blowing hard, and not a single person wants to walk out. On the flip side, 2.48 million ETH are stuck tight at the entrance, with an average wait of 43 days to get in. One side is so empty you could run a horse race, the other side is so congested it’s hard to even breathe. This isn’t some kind of "balance," it’s a blatant supply-demand rupture.
Across the entire network, 40.9 million ETH are locked up, accounting for 33.55% of total supply, with 885,000 validators still grinding away, yielding only 2.64% annually. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields start at 4.5%, oil prices are still hovering in triple digits, and inflation is suffocating central banks. 2.64%? That return isn’t even enough to get a dog to lick it. Yet these people keep rushing in. What are they after? Not interest, but position. Institutions want on-chain seats, overseas capital wants to secure their spot before laws like CLARITY come into effect. Yield is just a bonus; the real logic is "one less circulating coin, one more chip under control."
Last September, the exit queue clogged up to over 2.6 million ETH, scaring the market senseless. Now exits are empty, entries are clogged, and net flow has completely flipped. The daily sell pressure of about 1,800 ETH evaporates instantly, and new inflows have to be locked for 43 days. Short-term circulating supply is tightening continuously. This isn’t gentle "long-term confidence," it’s capital openly telling you: the dumpers are gone, and the entrants are still lining up.
The Pectra upgrade is just around the corner, and some are already shouting that the staking rate might surge above 50%. Once it passes half, exchange liquidity will dry up even more. This scene is reminiscent of the on-chain movements before the 2020 DeFi Summer—data moves first, price follows. But don’t be naive; if the price suddenly spikes to a level that tempts people to cash out, that empty exit queue will clog up like a parking lot in a second.
Traders, analysts, and veteran holders on X see it more bluntly. Some curse: "2.64% and still rushing in? Either they truly believe ETH will go to the moon, or they’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey."
Institutional voices are colder: "We’re not here for the interest, we’re here to hold spots. Dollar exposure is more important than that lousy yield." Others link this to BTC: "ETH locking accelerates, funds are actually swinging between both sides. ETF net inflows and BTC creeping up from over 60k show some have moved low-yield ETH chips to bet on macro narratives."
In short, it’s the same story on both sides—whales are locking chips tight, not here to play short-term chopping games. The harsher ones say: "The exit queue is empty like a parking lot and no one’s leaving? It’s not that they don’t want to run, the price just hasn’t risen to the level that makes them want to dump. Waiting for the wind? The wind has been howling in the staking pool for a while; it’s just a matter of who jumps ship first."
Macro pressures remain, but on-chain is already heavily bullish. The exit door is wide open, and no one wants to leave; the entry queue is jammed, and no one’s backing out. Sell pressure is completely gone, demand keeps pushing in, and there’s only one direction—hold tight and savor it!After making it through 2018’s crash and 2021’s mania, I’ve learned 8 hard lessons that separate those who survive from those who get wiped. 🚨
These aren’t just errors — they’re mental traps built to drain your account. Let’s break them down.
1. The "perfect cycle" is a liquidation trap
You’ll hear it everywhere: “BTC tops first, then ETH, then alts.” 2021 blew that up. High-beta assets often pump together, not in a neat order.
The real edge is divergence: ETH and beta plays can outrun Bitcoin’s slow grind. Dominance falls because cycles rotate — and they don’t pause for your bias to confirm.
2. Most people trade backwards
Retail loves to build “long-term bags” at bull market tops when everything feels safe, then dumps in the bear when fear peaks.
Truth is: BEAR markets = accumulation. BULL markets = momentum + scaling in.
Selling into euphoria is brutal. Buying when everything’s bleeding is harder. FOMO makes you think every exit is wrong, but holding too long is the real mistake.
3. Don’t rent conviction
A solid project, real product, perfect thesis — crypto will still shake you out violently before it pays you. If the belief isn’t yours, you’ll fold early.
And stop waiting for perfect confirmation. If $57K was the BTC bottom, you might not get a clean signal until $84K. By then you’ve missed half the move. TA helps, but chasing “safety” kills alpha.
4. Time breaks more people than price
Anyone can handle a 50% drop for a few weeks. But months of sideways, boring, uncertain chop? That’s where portfolios go to die.
The best setups form when nothing’s happening and nobody wants to wait.
Also: a great project is not always a great token. Tokenomics, unlocks, inflation, and value capture matter more than the team’s pedigree.
And being right about the tech doesn’t mean you’ll make money.
Survival in crypto is 80% psychology. The market rewards patience, contrarian timing, and owning your thesis — not chasing narratives.

#DailyOrbit @OKX Orbit RWA's perpetual monthly trading volume has reached $470 billion—is this thing about to change the crypto world? Pharaoh bluntly said, this isn't a change of regime—it's the crypto world swallowing up the traditional financial table. In six months, it soared from 85 billion to 470 billion, a 450% increase. SpaceX generated 66 billion in transaction volume in a single month, more than many major crypto projects do in a single year. Who is pushing this plate? Binance, Hyperliquid, and OKX each hold over 80% of the share, with Binance holding half. Hyperliquid is even more aggressive, with RWA trading volume accounting for 54% of the platform's total last week, surpassing native crypto assets for the first time. ARK Invest analysts said bluntly, "We are entering a new era of DeFi." The hottest thing on the chain now isn't just trading altcoins, but leveraging USDC margin around the clock to leverage US stocks, oil, and gold. You want to trade Nvidia at 2 a.m.? Traditional brokerages have shut down, but crypto exchanges are open 24 hours a day. This is RWA's core value of sustainability—extending Wall Street's operating hours from 6.5 hours a day to year-round. But Pharaoh had to make a move. All of this 470 billion is synthetic perpetual contracts. You buy price exposure, not real stocks, no voting rights, no dividends. Moreover, this thing now basically has no regulatory framework; without KYC, you can go all-in on 10x leverage like SpaceX. The SEC probably saw it and was extremely optimistic. As the saying goes, Pharaoh always says: if you see the trend right, you need to understand the gameplay before you go in. RIs the dog farm targeting my stop-loss line? Precise demolition followed by an instant rally—I'm familiar with this script!
Brothers, tonight I was once again the "chosen one." Right after the bullish stop loss was precisely triggered, the price rebounded like a laxative and pulled back to the cost zone. When I opened my account, I saw -1.43 USDT. Not much, but extremely insulting—Did this dog farm install surveillance on my phone? Specifically targeting me while I'm asleep to sneak attack? Alright, since we're going to play, let's clean this plate and see what the dog farm is up to.
Market Review: A Needle Pierces Faith—Is the V-shaped Reversal a Bullish Attraction or a Real Rise?
Opening ZAMAUSDT's 4-hour chart, the structure is quite disgusting. After surging to 0.05838 last night, it started to decline quietly. Today, in the Asian session, it directly broke through the 0.05200 support level, hitting a low of 0.05017, just sweeping through my stop loss line at 0.05046. Note that this position is the lower boundary of the previous intensive trading zone and also the support level for the EMA120. The Dog Market was very bad, deliberately using a needle insertion to break the long stop-loss position, then quickly pulled back to 0.05470, leaving a long lower shadow.
Looking at volume, the 24-hour trading volume was 1.7 billion ZAMA, with a decent turnover rate. However, the wave of sell-offs saw obvious volume growth, followed by a rebound with shrinking volume, indicating that it wasn't new capital entering the market, but rather the old players 'cleaning up the battlefield'—washing out unstable bulls and taking advantage of the bleeding chips at low levels. On the technical side, the EMA5 (0.05338) just crossed above the EMA10 (0.05274), showing signs of a golden cross in the short term, but the MACD is still below the zero axis, and the daily chart remains bearish. This rebound is most likely just a correction rally; don't chase after the rally.
Trading direction: Short-term game for a rebound, but don't mistake a rebound for a reversal
Since the dog dealer has revealed its cards—0.05000 below is the solid bottom—short-term strategies should revolve around this range. The first resistance above is at 0.05550 (near EMA20), and the second resistance is at 0.05700. My plan is: if it pulls back to 0.05250 and doesn't break through, light positions and test long positions, set a stop loss at 0.05180, targeting 0.05500; if it rises directly to around 0.05600, consider small short positions, stop loss at 0.05720, and gamble for a second pullback. Remember, don't be greedy in a volatile market. If there's profit, run. Dog dealers are best at sweeping back and forth.
Trading tip: Cutting losses is the dad's responsibility, but sometimes the dad can also mess with his son
To be honest—who hasn't experienced a reversal after being swept to stop loss? I've counted before and found that at least 30% of transactions have been "precisely targeted." The problem isn't the stop-loss itself, but the obvious stop-loss setting is visible throughout the market. Next time, learn your lesson: stop loss should either be placed farther below the structure or use a "time stop"—if the price has been sideways in the cost zone for more than 12 hours, exit proactively and don't let the dealer be a target.
Also, keep your mindset steady. -1.43 USDT is like paying respects to the dog farm; as long as you have your capital, there are plenty of opportunities. Remember, the market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is patience and discipline. Tonight's market is going on, I admit defeat, but I refuse to accept it. Once the pullback is in place, he'll fight the dog dealer for three hundred rounds.
(PS: If this post gets posted and ZAMA explodes, then I suggest the dog farm give me some advertising fees. ）

#韩国存储双雄获AI双巨头大单 #三星Galaxy钱包将原生支持稳定币
Samsung mobile system wallets natively integrated with stablecoins—what does this mean in every way?
1. For the general public: stablecoins have completely shed the "niche crypto circle" label and become everyday payment tools built into phones
The barrier to use has been completely eliminated
Previously, wanting to use USDC/USDT meant downloading a separate crypto wallet, memorizing mnemonic phrases, tinkering with the internet, and understanding blockchain transfers—95% of ordinary people were discouraged;
Now, Samsung Galaxy phones come pre-installed with a wallet, and you can instantly deposit, send, or receive digital dollars with a click—just like using a bank or transit card, without any blockchain knowledge.
Cross-border remittances have become a more accessible option
For overseas workers, international students, and ordinary people, cross-border transfers no longer require going through banks (high fees, slow arrival, and limited limits); Stablecoins arrive instantly on your phone, with extremely low fees. People in countries with severe inflation or currency depreciation can directly hold digital dollars on their phones for preservation.
The definition of mobile wallets has been completely rewritten
Wallets no longer just hold access control, ID cards, and bank cards, but have become the main gateway for personal digital assets: fiat currency + digital US dollars + various certificates are all managed in one unified manner.
2. Mobile Industry: Samsung is vying for the next generation of mobile finance, forcing Apple and Google to follow suit
Samsung is the world's first major mainstream smartphone manufacturer, incorporating stablecoins into the system's underlying wallets. Apple's Apple Pay and Google Wallet have so far completely rejected native stablecoin support:
Samsung builds differentiated competitiveness: Overseas emerging markets and users in Europe and America tend to prioritize Samsung phones because of this digital dollar payment system;
Industry competition begins: Subsequently, manufacturers like Apple, Huawei, and Xiaomi will be forced to research digital stablecoin adaptation, and smartphone competition will extend from hardware photography to mobile digital financial control;
Phones are no longer just communication devices; they have become portable hardware banks (relying on Samsung Knox hardware encryption isolation, with asset security levels higher than ordinary app wallets).
3. Cryptocurrency Industry: Stablecoins officially enter the mainstream financial system, bidding farewell to niche speculative circles
USDC (US Dollar Stablecoin) is experiencing massive incremental demand
The launch event featured USDC, with Circle's USD stablecoin endorsed by top tech giants, significantly boosting circulation and global recognition; The overall volume of US dollar stablecoins will continue to soar.
Blockchain has evolved from a tool for coin trading to a payment infrastructure
Funds are no longer just used for buying and selling Bitcoin or Ethereum speculation, but are more used for daily consumption, transfers, and savings; Public chains (Ethereum, Layer 2 networks, etc.) will generate a large amount of real transaction flow, benefiting the entire blockchain ecosystem.
Institutional confidence has fully recovered
Global banks, payment companies, and tech firms generally recognize that stablecoins are the future universal digital currency for the internet, and the pace of compliance deployment is accelerating across the board.
4. Dollar Globalization (Geopolitical and Financial Aspects): Digital dollars are further penetrating the world through mobile terminals
This is the deepest impact:
Stablecoins are essentially digital dollars. Samsung's billions of phones are spread across countries worldwide, effectively putting digital dollar wallets into the hands of ordinary people, and dollar hegemony continues to penetrate through mobile devices;
For developing countries with weak foreign exchange reserves and large currency fluctuations, people will spontaneously hold digital dollars on their phones, weakening their own fiat currency and the influence of local banks;
The U.S. financial system uses technological terminals to bypass traditional bank clearing systems and build a brand-new cross-border digital dollar circulation network.
5. South Korea's Local Finance: South Korea is accelerating the development of a domestic digital currency system
Samsung has partnered with two major Korean banks, Shinhan and Hana, to simultaneously develop a Korean won-pegged stablecoin. On one hand, it embraces the US dollar stablecoin for global adaptation, while also creating a local digital Korean won, balancing opening up and monetary autonomy;
South Korea will become the leading country in East Asia in implementing digital asset and stablecoin compliance.
6. Risks and Limitations (Don't Just Look at Bullish Factors)
Regulatory barriers in various countries are extremely strong
The EU's MiCA Act and central banks will introduce restriction rules, but this feature is likely limited to certain countries in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia, and cannot be used globally;
Asset custody model undecided: If Samsung/third-party institutions hold private keys, there are still risks of platform risk control and fund freezing;
It is clearly prohibited to circulate any stablecoin or cryptocurrency trading within China, and Samsung phones in China will not launch this feature.
A simple summary in one sentence
Samsung's move = embedding the digital dollar into every smartphone, turning stablecoins from niche speculative items into everyday wallets for the masses, kicking off the mobile digital financial battle and further strengthening the dollar's global digital hegemony. This wave of BTC short positions is incredibly attractive! 📉 20x leverage, profit jumped directly to +53.49%, 🚀 falling from 66,195 to 64,470. If you go in the right direction, making money is this smooth 😎. Margin is steady, strong parity is far away, hold on and win 💪. Don't always think about bottom-fishing; sometimes going with the trend is the key 🤷 ♂️. #财报观察员: Who can understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? #多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过 $BTC $BTC
In the last bull market cycle, 80% of the peak indicators never reached it. I believe the bottom indicator could also see a similar situation.
Long-term holders' supply is in a loss, already surpassing FTX levels and approaching 2018 levels.
The realized price hovers around 50K, and we test the LTH realized price every cycle, so revisiting is a possible area. However, I am not entirely certain; many top cycle indicators never triggered in the previous cycle, and the same may happen to future bottom indicators.
In any case, the market is already at a loss level comparable to FTX/2018.
This chart can tell you a lot.One of the most talked-about movements in today's crypto market wasn't BTC, but the long-dormant SHIB. 🔥🔥🔥 As of the evening of July 26: SHIB rose about 13% in the past 24 hours—with a significant increase in intraday volatility; 24-hour trading volume was about $668 million—up about 869% from the previous day. In major spot markets, Upbit's SHIB/KRW trading volume was about $68.43 million, accounting for roughly 10.2% of the market, ranking first among single trading pairs. My judgment is: this isn't a massive rally, but it's not the 'Meme Season Return' either. It's more like when liquidity is thin over the weekend, Korean spot funds first ignite SHIB, followed by price, trading volume, and heated discussion. To put it bluntly, funds have indeed arrived, but currently they are mainly concentrated in SHIB and have not spread significantly across the entire meme sector. 🔎 Why is Upbit worth paying attention to? When a local fiat trading pair suddenly sees volume surge while global market depth is relatively limited, local buying can trigger larger price movements. However, trading volume only shows where the money came in; it cannot prove there is a "big player pushing the market" or undisclosed positive news behind it. Capital motivation cannot be filled by imagination. 📊 Can this round of hype be sustained? I will look at two signals: whether Upbit's trading share will quickly fall after the workday; Memes like DOGE, BONK, FLOKI, etcThe embedding at the system's underlying layer is a hundred times harsher than the patchwork of upper-layer application software. This time, Samsung has directly written the stablecoin payment pipeline into the OS kernel. This is not merely adding a feature; it is deploying a native treasury settlement engine on hundreds of millions of mobile hardware terminals!
As a game architect, the primary metric to evaluate whether an ecosystem can survive is the conversion rate and friction of onboarding new users. Previously, the onboarding tasks in crypto ecosystems were downright user-unfriendly system disasters: downloading standalone apps, backing up mnemonic phrases, authorizing signatures, cross-chain bridges... This is like requiring players to manually configure a C++ compilation environment before starting the game, resulting in an outrageously high user churn rate. Samsung's major move at Galaxy Unpacked 2026 essentially delivers a "kernel-level patch" at the hardware operating system layer. By directly integrating stablecoins, consumer rewards, and digital assets into Samsung Wallet, combined with card interfaces from Barclays and Visa, it effectively turns deposits, withdrawals, and physical-world micro-transactions into native background services of the system, eliminating the need to open standalone apps. This seamless invocation reduces player entry friction to zero.
From the perspective of numerical balance and tokenomics, the past crypto ecosystem has always lacked a true "real-world sink" capable of supporting high-frequency consumption. Previously, stablecoins could only shuffle left and right within narrow on-chain protocols, representing a typical closed-loop model. Now, with system-level hardware interfaces connected, fiat currency, points, and stablecoins are unified at the OS layer, meaning stablecoins instantly transform from high-risk arbitrage tokens into "all-scenario basic game currency" similar to Steam wallet balances or Nintendo points cards. This not only injects unlimited real liquidity faucets into the entire crypto ecosystem but also establishes a very robust deflationary consumption mechanism.
Regarding the deep linkage with the US stock token $XMU, it must be re-modeled using an architectural "pipeline tax rate." The underlying value logic mapped by $XMU essentially depends on how many core API calls it occupies within this hardware ecosystem. When Samsung's device shipments convert into daily active stablecoin nodes, $XMU effectively binds to the underlying payment engine of this hardware ecosystem. The greater the system call volume, the more terrifying the cash flow accumulation at the toll station, representing a dimensionality reduction strike at the system architecture level.
When a hardware giant directly writes infrastructure into the Secure Enclave security zone, the entire crypto market's competitive logic has completely shifted from the "battle royale gameplay" at the application layer to the "operating system hegemony" at the underlying ecosystem level. # #samsungwalletstablecoinIn the previous introduction, I mentioned that Coinbase is no longer just a US-compliant crypto exchange. But the phrase "not just one exchange" sounds simple, but it's not so easy to explain clearly; After all, adding a few new products to an exchange doesn't prove the transformation is complete. So in the first Coinbase research note, I want to start with a fundamental question: Where exactly are Coinbase's business boundaries? I think it can be understood from three perspectives: what does Coinbase want users to trade, who it wants to serve, and what stages of an asset from issuance to settlement it wants to participate in? 1. Asset boundaries: What exactly does Coinbase want us to trade? When it comes to Coinbase, most people's first reaction is still buying and selling BTC, ETH, and other cryptocurrencies. This is easy to understand. Coinbase's earliest solution was how ordinary people can legally buy and sell crypto assets in US dollars. Users transfer US dollars into Coinbase, buy BTC or ETH, and Coinbase charges a fee on every transaction. The logic is simple, and precisely because it's so simple, Coinbase has long been regarded by the market as a crypto cyclical stock: Bull market trading volume rises, Coinbase profits; Bear market trading volume drops, Coinbase's revenue shrinks accordingly. But if you open Coinbase now, you'll find its trading rangeTrump reported $1.4B+ in crypto income for 2025.

#EarningsRealityCheck #CLARITYActStalled #USIranStrikePause Big Tech's earnings delivered the reality check the AI trade has been dodging. Alphabet and Tesla both reported, and both stocks sank, not on weak results (Google Cloud grew 82%) but on rising AI capex guidance. The market has flipped: spending on AI used to be rewarded as vision, now it's scrutinized as cost.
This is the same story that hit semis all week, viewed from the demand side. Investors aren't questioning whether AI is real; they're questioning the return on hundreds of billions in capex before the revenue catches up. For crypto it's a useful mirror: narratives get repriced the moment the market demands proof over promise. Risk-off today (BTC $64K) echoes that same "show me the ROI" mood bleeding across tech.

#EarningsRealityCheck #OKXOrbit🚨 Is SpaceX following a path similar to Palantir's early public-market journey?
History doesn't repeat perfectly—but it often rhymes.
Palantir captured massive attention after its debut, rallied aggressively, then suffered a deep correction that convinced many investors the story was over.
Those who looked beyond the headlines and focused on the long-term thesis were eventually rewarded as the company recovered dramatically over the following years.
Now compare that to $SPCX.
After debuting around $135 and reaching roughly $225, it's now trading near $114, leaving many investors questioning whether the opportunity has disappeared—or is only just beginning.
Adding to the uncertainty, billions of dollars in short exposure are betting on further downside.
That's why the coming weeks matter.
The first earnings report on August 4 could become the catalyst that either strengthens the bullish thesis or forces the market to reassess expectations.
My strategy isn't to chase price.
I'm watching the $80–90 range as a potential accumulation area if the market offers it. A move into that zone would likely coincide with peak pessimism—often when emotions are strongest and patience is tested the most.
Great investments rarely feel obvious at the bottom.
Whether SpaceX follows Palantir's path remains to be seen, but this is one setup worth watching closely rather than reacting emotionally to every headline.
If I decide to build a position in $SPCX, I'll share the levels before the trade—not after.

#EarningsRealityCheck #OKXOrbitAfter surviving the bloodbaths of 2018 and the euphoria of 2021, I’ve seen eight brutal truths that separate the survivors from the rekt. 🚨 These aren’t just mistakes—they’re psychological traps designed to bleed you dry. Let’s dive deep.
First, the myth of the "perfect cycle" is a LIQUIDATION trap. Everyone chants, “BTC peaks first, then ETH, then alts.” But 2021 proved that high-beta assets often move in unison, not sequence. The real game is performance divergence: ETH and beta assets crush Bitcoin’s slow, heavy moves. Market dominance drops for a reason—cycles rotate, but they don’t wait for your confirmation bias. 🎯
Second, you’re probably trading backwards. Retail builds "long-term portfolios" at the TOP of bull runs when safety feels real, then panic-sells into bear markets. The brutal truth? BEAR markets are for accumulation, BULL markets are for momentum trading and scaling risk. Selling when everyone is euphoric is harder than buying when everything is bleeding. FOMO makes every exit feel like a mistake, but the real mistake is staying too long. 😱
Third, don’t borrow conviction. A strong project, a real product, a perfect thesis—crypto will test it all violently before rewarding it. If your belief isn’t your own, you’ll be shaken out early. And NEVER wait for perfect confirmation. If $57K was BTC’s bottom, the first clear signal might not come until $84K—by then, you’ve missed 50% of the move. TA is useful, but obsession with safety destroys alpha. 🎭
Finally, time is the ultimate killer. Most can survive a 50% crash for weeks, but months of boredom and uncertainty? That’s where portfolios die. The biggest opportunities are born when NOTHING happens and NO ONE wants to wait. Also, a great project doesn’t mean a great token—valuation, unlocks, inflation, and value capture matter more than the team. And being RIGHT isn’t enough.开源宣言遇上财报空窗期，英伟达股价延续横盘整理
纽约，7月26日——本周半导体板块整体波澜不惊，英伟达（NVDA）周五收于207.40美元，微跌0.3%，全周振幅收窄至3.2%，成交量较均值萎缩约15%。此前一日，公司首席执行官黄仁勋在社交平台上发布其个人账号首条推文，联合25家科技企业共同签署《开源AI基础模型联合倡议》，微软、Meta、IBM及多家AI初创公司位列其中，特斯拉CEO马斯克亦在评论区公开表示支持。
市场反应平淡，投资者静待业绩指引
尽管倡议获得行业广泛关注，但华尔街对此反应克制。多家机构分析师指出，开源生态的长期利好难以对冲当前财报季的观望情绪——英伟达下一份季报定于8月下旬发布，在此之前缺乏关键催化剂。期权市场数据显示，隐含波动率本周下降2.3个百分点，表明短期投机资金正在离场。一位买方交易员在午盘简报中称：“市场需要看到的是数据中心收入的环比增速能否维持，而不是行业宣言。”
开源逻辑：扩大蛋糕，而非切割份额
倡议核心主张为促进AI模型权重与训练代码的公开共享，签约方承诺将优先采用开源架构进行内部研发。从产业逻辑看，更低的AI应用门槛将催生更多中小企业和开发者进入生态，从而拉动对GPU算力的基础需求——这与英伟达长期以来“以软件生态绑定硬件销售”的策略一脉相承。但市场当前更关心的是，主要云厂商自研芯片的替代效应是否正在侵蚀其议价能力。
行业风向变化：高性能开源模型成新变量
近期，由国内团队开发的Kimi K3开源模型因其性能比肩主流闭源模型、API调用成本仅为后者三分之一而引发硅谷震动。该模型权重完全公开后，已吸引超过2万名开发者下载微调。部分分析师认为，这标志着开源阵营首次在实用性上对闭源商业模型构成实质性挑战，也因此倒逼头部芯片厂商重新思考其在开源社区中的角色定位。
资金流向与板块分化
本周费城半导体指数下跌2.1%，跑输标普500指数（-1.3%）。英伟达以外的其他芯片股表现各异：AMD受新品发布预期提振微涨0.7%，英特尔则因代工业务亏损扩大跌去4.5%。整体来看，资金仍在科技板块内部轮动，从高估值的AI概念股向具稳健现金流的工业软件类个股迁移。
短期观望情绪主导，中期叙事未改
目前英伟达前瞻市盈率仍维持在42倍附近，高于其五年均值。但基于2027年盈利预测的PEG比率已回落至1.1，处于历史相对合理区间。花旗分析师在今日晨报中维持“买入”评级，认为当前横盘是财报前的正常蓄力阶段，同时指出开源倡议虽无即时财务影响，却有助于巩固其长期生态壁垒。 $NVDA 🚨 Big Tech Just Gave the AI Trade a Reality Check.
The latest earnings from Alphabet and Tesla revealed a shift in how markets are pricing AI.
It wasn't weak results that hurt sentiment.
Google Cloud posted 82% growth, yet Alphabet still came under pressure as investors focused on higher AI capital expenditure guidance rather than the earnings beat itself.
The message from the market is changing.
AI spending was once rewarded as a sign of long-term vision.
Now it's being judged on one question:
When does the return justify the investment?
This is the same theme that has weighed on semiconductor stocks throughout the week. Investors aren't doubting AI's future—they're demanding evidence that hundreds of billions in spending will translate into sustainable profits.
Crypto offers a similar lesson.
Narratives can drive markets for a while, but eventually capital starts asking for proof instead of promises.
With Bitcoin hovering around $64K, the broader market still reflects a cautious, risk-aware environment where fundamentals matter as much as momentum.
Sometimes the biggest shift isn't in the technology.
It's in what investors are willing to pay for it.
Just my market view—not financial advice.

#USIranStrikePause #EarningsRealityCheck #JoblessClaimsDrop #美军暂停对伊空袭, Progress in Strait Navigation Negotiations On July 24 local time, the U.S. President officially issued an order to halt a new round of airstrikes against Iran, ending a 13-day continuous strike. The news quickly stirred global sentiment among commodities and risk assets. Previously, the U.S. military had approved strike plans almost daily, continuously conducting airstrikes on Iranian missile sites and military infrastructure. The situation in the Persian Gulf remained tense, with markets betting on a full escalation of the conflict, rising crude oil prices, and rising risk aversion. This sudden suspension of airstrikes was not a unilateral signal of peace from the U.S.; multiple practical factors combined to trigger this "tactical brake." I. Three Core Reasons Behind the Suspend of Airstrikes 1. Leaving a Window for Diplomatic Mediation Oman's mediation delegation has arrived in Iran, focusing on negotiations on navigation safety in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. side judges that continuous bombing will completely close negotiation channels, and a brief pause can create room for de-escalation, attempting to force Iran into compromise through a "fight while negotiating" approach. 2. The cost of sustained operations exceeds expectations More than ten airstrikes consume large amounts of precision-guided weapons, and the U.S. military's regional air defense ammunition stockpile remains under pressure. Iran relies on missiles and drones to maintain sustained counterattack capabilities, while U.S. Middle Eastern bases constantly face harassment risks. The U.S. realizes that limited-scale airstrikes are unlikely to force Iran to yield; to achieve strategic objectives, it can only escalate into full-scale war, and the chain reactions of a full-scale conflict are unbearable. 3. Suppressing energy inflation pressures: The Strait of Hormuz carries a large global capacity
