BTC and ETH price changes are both under 1%, while some perpetual contracts have surged over 20%
Looking at the near 24-hour price changes of OKX USDT perpetual contracts at the same time point, several coins have shown different rhythms: BTC about -0.55%, ETH about +0.20%; SEI about +22.88%, AERO about +20.55%, SUI about +15.02%.
This comparison illustrates the divergence in sample performance but does not prove that funds are flowing from BTC and ETH to altcoins, nor does it represent the entire market rising. Looking only at price snapshots cannot answer whether there have been changes in trading volume and open interest behind the gains, nor can it explain the reasons for the rise.
To determine whether the strength is spreading, we need to see if more contracts can synchronize, and whether trading and open interest data keep up. Focusing only on the top gainers can easily lead to mistaking the abnormal movements of a few tokens for the trend of the entire sector. $ONE Damn, ONE's market is acting up again, bouncing but failing to hold, and the price got pushed back down. Let's check the whale data; the situation is quite interesting.
There are currently 218 whales active, with 107 longs. That seems like a good number, but most are still at a loss, with an average entry price of 0.002778, and the current price is still some distance from their cost line; on the short side, there are 111 whales, slightly fewer, but the profit ratio has reached 48.64%, indicating that this recent drop has indeed benefited the shorts.
More importantly, the long side's loss ratio is still high—32.71% loss rate means many chips above are still trapped. When the price rebounds, the trapped positions tend to exit; meanwhile, shorts are already profitable, showing the market's short-term sentiment is bearish, and any slight rebound prompts more short additions.
Although the funding rate is still positive, the market is weakening, with the 24-hour gains narrowing significantly, indicating chasing funds can't keep up. This is when "longs can't hold and shorts keep adding" scenarios are most likely. Don't mistake a small green candle for a reversal.
Attack reference: 0.00258, defense reference: 0.00188.
To be clear, this is not a long takeover but more like a weak rebound after a big drop. Whale data shows no clear reversal, so don't blindly bottom-fish. Don't rush in impulsively; manage your position size carefully, or you risk getting crushed again.

⚠️ $93.41 million in same-direction long positions clustered together—Big Brother Maji's current position truly tests risk control.
Data shows three perpetual contracts all fully leveraged long positions, but risk structures differ across coins.
$ETH holds about 25,000 tokens at 25x leverage, entry price $2523.95, currently floating profit around $1.2997 million. It appears to be the only profitable position among the three, but liquidation price is just about $2518.29, very close to entry, with accumulated funding fees reaching approximately $825,800, making holding costs significant.
$BTC holds 200 tokens at 40x leverage, entry at $80,923.40, liquidation at $73,129.42, currently floating loss about $126,900. High leverage means price swings heavily impact margin; a rapid market pullback could quickly amplify risk.
$HYPE holds about 136,000 tokens at 10x leverage, entry at $92.65, liquidation at $79.69, currently floating loss about $273,400. Compared to BTC and ETH, HYPE shows higher price elasticity, with volatility likely to increase further when sentiment cools.
Combined, these three positions total approximately $93.41 million, all fully leveraged longs in the same direction.
This means ETH's floating profit cannot truly serve as an effective hedge.$10.3 trillion, accounting for an average of 3.63% of GDP annually — this is the estimate by a Columbia Business School professor for U.S. AI infrastructure investment from 2025 to 2032, covering data centers, power, networks, and AI-specific equipment.
For comparison, the largest infrastructure wave in U.S. history, the railroads, peaked at only 2.24% of GDP.
This scale has two implications: first, the "shovel sellers" segment (power, optical modules, data centers) is the most certain, because no matter which model company wins, these must be built;
second, such massive capital expenditure must be supported by financing, and financing costs are directly linked to interest rates — how far the AI narrative can go is, to some extent, a function of monetary policy.$NEAR is impressive because it covers all four major themes of this cycle: "AI + Privacy + RWA + ETF," and each has real products and data implemented on-chain, not just hype — this is the fundamental reason it surged 135% in 30 days and became the strongest L1 leader this round.
① The technology foundation is truly solid: self-developed sharding architecture Nightshade + Doomslug, high throughput and low fees, user experience and scalability rank in the top tier of L1s, the chain's performance supports large-scale applications, not just a PPT.
② NEAR Intents delivers real transactions: the intent execution architecture allows users to complete cross-chain trades with a single command, with cumulative transactions exceeding **$29 billion, representing real on-chain demand, not empty narratives.
③ Just secured a major RWA partnership: cooperating with Ondo Finance to open 20 tokenized stocks/ETFs (Apple, Nvidia, etc.) to non-US users, bringing traditional US stocks on-chain — precisely positioning itself at the biggest opportunity as the SEC clears tokenized securities.
④ Exclusive launch of confidential perpetual trading: jointly launched privacy perpetual contracts with Hyperliquid, where user position addresses are not exposed, solving the privacy pain points most concerning to institutions, which is the direct catalyst for breaking years of decline and initiating a main uptrend.
⑤ Dual support from capital and narrative: Grayscale and Bitwise have applied for NEAR spot ETFs, institutional channels are opening; meanwhile, it is also a popular AI Agent public chain, maximizing its potential. $ADA current price 0.2591, short-term key levels at 0.2603 and 0.2572: breaking above 0.2603 (Bollinger upper band) opens space toward 0.2650; breaking below 0.2572 (MA5) will retest 0.2546 (MA20) to confirm support. Currently, MA5 > MA20 indicating a bullish alignment, MACD histogram +0.0001216 maintains bullishness, RSI at 66 is strong but not overbought, structure remains bullish.
However, the funding rate signals caution: funding rate +0.0100%, the highest among the three candidate coins, indicating bulls are paying fees and leveraged longs are crowded; if upward momentum weakens, it may trigger a bull liquidation spike; combined with the Fear & Greed Index at 74 (greedy), sentiment has entered a reversal-prone zone. 24h trading volume is only 57.6M USDT, insufficient to support a strong one-sided rally, more likely to consolidate and digest. Overall, the direction is bullish but not advisable to chase highs; wait for a pullback to enter.
Entry reference range 0.2555–0.2572 (near MA5 and above Bollinger middle band); Take profit 1 at 0.2603 (Bollinger upper band, first resistance); Take profit 2 at 0.2650 (extended target after breaking upper band); Stop loss at 0.2538 (below MA20 0.2546, invalidating bullish structure).Bitcoin's monthly RSI strongly crosses above 50! PlanB declares: "Bitcoin is getting stronger"
① News: PlanB confirms the end of the bear market, monthly RSI signal continues to strengthen
PlanB posted on X — "Bitcoin is getting stronger." Few words, full of confidence. Block Horizon's chart updated on September 24 shows Bitcoin's monthly RSI near 54, with a five-month average around 47. Looking back to the start of this year, RSI once dropped just above 40, perfectly matching the price crash from $97,860 down to $57,700, a nearly 41% plunge. But the darkest times are over. As early as mid-September, PlanB publicly confirmed the bear market ended — August's closing price of $78,571 held the 50-week moving average, the proportion of profitable Bitcoin rose from 50% to 72%, and the monthly RSI climbed from 41 to 51. Now RSI has further stabilized above 50, with technical and fundamental signals resonating more clearly.
History shows: Bitcoin's strongest rallies often see RSI soar above 85; during major corrections, this indicator is crushed below 50. Now it’s climbing back from a low, and although still short of 70, direction matters more than speed.
② Market: Price quickly recovers, on-chain buying quietly returns
As of this week, Bitcoin price oscillates near $84,000, having previously surged above $87,000, rebounding over 51% from the July low of $57,700. Although recent days saw a pullback due to rising U.S. Treasury yields and the $350 million hack at Bitget exchange, overall resilience is much stronger than at the start of the year. On-chain signals align: Bitcoin’s weekly close price broke above the 50-week moving average for the first time since November 2025, ending a 45-week gap. On the ETF front, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have had six consecutive days of net inflows, accumulating over $2.8 billion, with BlackRock’s IBIT contributing the main increase. Strategy and Strive, two corporate treasury giants, also invested a combined $183 million last week, buying 2,305 Bitcoin against the trend, directly reversing the long-term passive losses in the corporate treasury sector.
③ Bulls and bears intertwined, don’t get dazzled by a single bullish candle
Bulls have confidence, but don’t ignore the dark clouds overhead. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield touched 5.22% intraday, and the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike at the October FOMC has risen to 71%, so macro pressure on risk assets remains. Although ETF inflows have been positive for six consecutive days, daily net inflows have dropped from a high of $999 million to $191 million, weakening in strength. RSI climbing back from oversold is good, but there’s still a gap between "recovery" and "breakout." Bitcoin is getting stronger now, but it’s far from a stage to blindly charge in. Watching whether RSI can continue to break upward is the real signal to focus on next.
#美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ #财报观察员：好市多业绩超预期，美光接棒 #美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温 Today, the overseas crypto scene is actually more lively than the market itself. KelpDAO sued LayerZero and its CEO together, all because of that $292M rsETH cross-chain theft. Bridge hacks are no longer news; the real new drama is the project parties tearing each other apart and going to court. Those who understand know exactly who’s to blame — see you in court. Magic Eden broke out in a cold sweat as 3,832 NFTs were urgently taken over and protected by whitehat hackers. To translate: they were almost stolen, but the whitehats got there first. NFT players now have to be on edge even when placing orders; this space is really tough to navigate. Bitget came out to clarify that $388 million in assets were affected by a security incident. Note the wording is "clarify," not "no problem." The amount is clear, so users can weigh it themselves; I won’t comment further. Former Hack VC partner Hsin-Ju Chuang’s death was ruled a suicide. No jokes here, RIP. The pressure behind the glamorous crypto circle is immense and invisible to outsiders; don’t just focus on others’ displayed profits. CoinMarketCap acquired CoinGlass, clearly aiming to fill the gap in derivatives data. The data business is really hot now; whoever controls contract positions and liquidation data holds the gateway to traffic. And two more pretty surreal news: Strategy wants shareholder approval to pay preferred stock dividends daily, basically turning stocks into a Yu’e Bao-like product; meanwhile,Wyckoff observes supply and demand on the market through volume, price, and main capital behavior. Chan Theory divides the trend structure based on level, central oscillation, and divergence. By combining these two systems, one can clearly understand both capital intentions and the trend framework. From the perspective of Chan Theory's structure, the weekly major upward trend has not been broken, with the lows gradually rising. This round of rally has already formed a daily-level upward center, and the current market is in a phase of internal consolidation within the central zone. The 4-hour period serves as a secondary level, used to capture short-term fluctuations, focusing on the ZD support at the lower boundary of the central zone. A pullback to ZD with shrinking volume and stabilization is a strong consolidation; If the price effectively breaks through ZD, it will trigger an expansion of the central zone and increase the level of adjustment. The daily MACD red bars continue to converge, weakening upward momentum and presenting a risk of consolidation divergence, indicating weakening upward momentum and entering a tug-of-war phase between bulls and bears. The historical high above indicates strong resistance, requiring a breakout with increased volume to open upside space; Support below is the lower boundary of the daily central zone and medium- to long-term moving averages. Holding the range and maintaining high volatility means the market weakens once it falls. From Wyckoff's perspective, this round of rally is a reaccumulation and consolidation after a rally. Wyckoff's three major rules: supply and demand, cause and effect, effort and result. During the upward phase, demand exceeds supply, accompanied by continuous inflows of institutional funds into ETFs; During the pullback phase, shrinking trading volume indicates insufficient selling pressure and not large-scale supply release, reflecting market resilience. Within the consolidation range, small volume on decline and volume on rebound indicate that the main force did not distribute chips at high levels, indicating accumulation during the upward phase. Observe effort and results: if a subsequent breakthrough to the previous high causes volume expansion but stagnant prices, it is a typical example of effort exceeding results, indicating demand$ETH Ethereum is surging wildly! Don't ride the roller coaster
From a low of 1503, it climbed all the way up to a high of 2806. This wave of Ethereum's market is exhilarating. The higher the price climbs, the more conflicted the mind becomes. As the price rises, unrealized profits keep expanding; on one hand, you enjoy the dividends brought by the trend, on the other, you constantly fear a pullback that could wipe out all gains. During the bottom phase, everyone’s mindset is relatively calm; the real torment comes after a significant rally.
Two mental demons torment repeatedly: greed, always thinking it can keep hitting new highs and unwilling to exit; fear, panicking at the slightest pullback and missing out on the big moves ahead.
Set ironclad rules for yourself:
Don’t subjectively bet on the market to keep surging infinitely. Take profits in batches, firmly holding onto some floating gains; set a protective bottom line. As long as the trend continues, keep your base position to ride the main body; once key support is broken, decisively stop and don’t stubbornly hold on to the market out of spite.#Saturn's approach is to bring the dividend income of Strategy preferred shares STRC onto the blockchain. At the end of August, an event was already run on Binance Wallet, and this time the official token $STRN is announced.
What makes this model worth noting is that it packages the "preferred stock dividends" from traditional capital markets—relatively stable income supported by real cash flow—into blockchain-tradable assets.
For DeFi, this is a rare type of "real cash flow" narrative in RWA, more complex and with greater potential than simply putting government bonds on-chain.
Of course, the risk characteristics of preferred shares will also be on-chain—dividends can be suspended, principal ranking is subordinate, and these terms may not be easily understood by users.$PONS 24-hour burn and holding analysis

#美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？
#财报观察员：好市多业绩超预期，美光接棒 The 24-hour chess clock has just completed one round, and $ID has only lost 1.83% of its pieces—this is not a collapse, but the opponent deliberately sacrificing pawns in the opening phase to gain central control, which 90% of amateur players would misinterpret as a breakdown.
I set up three boards to observe. In the short-term Bollinger Bands, the price is at the 13th percentile, with only 0.6% space left to the lower band and 3.7% depth to the upper band—this is a compressed pawn chain that looks immobile but is actually a classic case of trading time for space. The mid-term is even more extreme: also at the 13th percentile, with 0.9% to the lower band and 6.1% to the upper band. Both Bollinger Bands layers simultaneously touch the bottom edge, which in my evaluation system is called a compression scenario. After the pawn sacrifice is settled, the next step is a breakout along the open lines.
Short RSI is 34.8, long RSI is 40.8. Both numbers are nominally in the neutral zone, but the short-term RSI is clearly below the long-term RSI—this is a pullback confirmation structure, like a knight leaping from the center to the flank. It looks like a retreat, but actually realigns the attack line toward the king’s wing. The buy signal trigger condition is the short-term RSI falling below 38; the current reading is 34.8, which has entered the zone where I can start deploying pieces.
My entry point is set 3.2% below the current price. Why retreat proactively? Because the opponent still has one step of counter-pullback space; I don’t need to block with the king’s front pawn. I wait for them to move first, then occupy that square. This is not prediction, it’s calculation—I have already simulated twenty moves ahead before placing the piece, knowing which open line my rook will occupy.
📈 Long:
Entry: 0.03 (current price -3.2%)
Take Profit 1: 0.03 (+6.4%)
Take Profit 2: 0.03 (+6.1%)
Stop Loss: 0.03 (-13.9%)
Look closely at this profit and loss structure: the two take profit levels correspond to 6.4% and 6.1%, about 3% net space above the entry point; the stop loss is set at 13.9%, more than twice the take profit range. Amateur players would complain the odds are off. Grandmasters will only tell you: in a scenario compressed to the 13th percentile, the hit rate is never 50/50, and the stop loss is not risk but margin—you pay twice the cost to buy the pass to the endgame. True generals never rely on equal material but on asymmetry in the position.
The 13% percentile is my key square. Every time the price sinks below the 13% Bollinger Band, it is accompanied by a reversal in short-term momentum, not a trend continuation. Currently, the bears think they have the initiative, but they are actually being dragged into my timing rhythm—it’s your turn to move, but whichever square you choose, the position worsens.
The only thing holding me back is that the long RSI 40.8 still hovers above the short RSI, so the initiative in the midgame has not fully transferred. Therefore, at this moment, I only set up the position, without doubling down or greedily capturing pawns.
Once all the opponent’s pieces are pinned on the flank, I have only one thing left to do: move the king to the opposite side. #strategyplaybookRetail investors in suits also get stuck at the bottom
On July 20, CleanCore Solutions liquidated 463 million $DOGE at an average price of 0.072, pocketing $33.4 million, and reinvested in AI data centers. Two months later, DOGE rose to 0.095, and that batch of chips was worth $44 million, missing out on $10.6 million — enough to cover a major phase one payment for the Minnesota data center.
Timeline: In September 2025, the company announced the establishment of the DOGE treasury, backed by Pantera, GSR, and FalconX, with a $175 million private placement. The holding valuation once reached $188 million. The management agreement was terminated in March this year, and the position was fully liquidated in July. The press releases were everywhere when buying, but the SEC filing only left one line when selling.
Institutions have their reasons: the stock price fell from $7 to $0.41, the treasury strategy couldn’t support the market cap, and the transformation required cash. Stop-loss is discipline, not a mistake. But the market only recognizes results: money with a professional label still bought high and sold low on DOGE, still missed out.
DOGE’s pricing power doesn’t lie in research report models, but in community enthusiasm, exchange liquidity, and a single word from Musk. Institutions come with Excel sheets and leave with losses. So-called smart money is just retail investors in suits.
Summary
1. Institutions stop-loss with discipline but miss subsequent gains; results speak.
2. DOGE is priced by sentiment and liquidity; models are hard to predict.

#OKX星球话题来啦 The load-bearing walls of this building are being pushed to their limits—but the foundation has no cracks.
$GALFT is currently at $0.91, down 1.95% in 24 hours. For ordinary people, this is just a small bearish candle, but for me, this is a typical "stress concentration" on the structural stress map. The short-term RSI has dropped to 32.7, the long-term RSI is at 45.0, both lines are in the neutral-to-lower range—neither bulls nor bears have taken control of the main structure, but the bears' scaffolding has already reached the lower levels.
What’s really worth watching is the position of the Bollinger Bands. The short-term price is at the 5% range boundary, with only 0.1% margin left to the lower band; the mid-term is even more extreme, with the price at -3%, piercing the lower band by 0.1%. This is not an ordinary pullback; it’s a "foundation settlement" after structural overselling. There is an iron rule in design specifications: when a component is pushed beyond the lower band, either the load calculation is wrong, or the market is overreacting. The former is far less likely than the latter.
Looking back on the timeline, GALFT has been declining steadily from a high point. Although the 24-hour drop is only 1.95%, combined with the extreme narrowing of the Bollinger Bands, this is a typical "end squeeze." I have worked on many high-rise projects and seen many final settlements before the main structure is capped—that is not collapse, it is compaction. The current trading structure tells me that selling pressure is waning, not intensifying.
Based on this underlying structure, my construction plan is as follows:
📈 Long:
Entry: 0.87 (4.2% below current price)
Take Profit 1: 0.97 (+6.7%)
Take Profit 2: 0.95 (+4.7%)
Stop Loss: 0.78 (-14.1%)
Note that the Entry is set 4.2% below the current price; this is not an arbitrary line. 0.87 is the overlap zone of the short-term lower band and previous support, equivalent to the "bearing platform" in construction—the connection node between pile foundation and column base, the most stable stress point. Take Profit 1 is set at 0.97, corresponding to an extension above the mid-term upper band by 4.7%, which is the first resistance beam. The Stop Loss is at 0.78, 14.1% below the current price, leaving more than 3% free settlement space for the structure to avoid being shaken out by meaningless spikes.
The risk-reward ratio is close to 1:1.6, which is acceptable for an oversold rebound.
The only thing to watch out for is the foundation strength below. If the 0.87 bearing platform is effectively broken through, it means the main structure has experienced irreversible instability and you must exit immediately, not fantasize about averaging down. Designers never negotiate with gravity.
This position now is a buy based on structure, not sentiment. Price spread, Bollinger Bands, and RSI have already drawn the blueprint clearly; what remains is construction discipline. #coinmovealertExploded! BTC surged 44% in a single quarter, bears completely silenced? 🔥
After three consecutive quarters of slow decline and fluctuation, everyone was almost worn out, but Bitcoin suddenly flipped the table: a 44% surge this quarter, once approaching $87,300 intraday! 📈 This directly marks the strongest single-quarter performance since Q4 2024, making up for the quiet months all at once.
What about the profit-taking? Bitfinex data: about $2.4 billion in profits realized recently. Sounds like a lot, but compared to historical tops, it’s just a drop in the bucket—previously, daily sell-offs could reach $7 to $10 billion. The current pace looks more like turnover during an uptrend, not a panic exit. 💸
The real strength is in the buying funds. The US Bitcoin spot ETF has had a net inflow of $2.84 billion over the past 6 trading days, fully covering the profit-taking sales during the same period. The institutional stance is clear: you sell as much as I buy. 🏦
ETH is also running wild: about 410,000 ETH flowed out of exchanges in a month, and the ETF had a net inflow of $680 million for 4 consecutive days. The circulating supply is tightening, and supply-demand is about to snap. 🔥
The most outrageous thing is Bitget’s sudden security incident involving about $452 million. In the past, this would have caused panic selling, but this time $BTC and $ETH barely dropped. 😳 The market seems to say: Black swan? Is that it?
The conclusion is simple: ETF buying is dominating the market, and isolated negative news can hardly shake the trend. This crypto market cycle is really becoming more resilient. 🚀In 2013, when #BTC was only $25, someone drew a trendline on Bitcointalk using Excel.
They never changed it again. 13 years later, this line still hasn't been broken.
Let's see what it predicts next.
On February 13, 2013, a user named dacoinminster put all the available price data into a spreadsheet and let Excel fit a power trendline:
Price = 4.42 × 10⁻¹⁷ × (days since January 3, 2009)^5.6
At that time, he wasn't building a currency theory, just arguing that 2011 was a bubble, but 2013 was not.
That line pointed to about $27 back then, while the price was $25.
No one has refitted it or "updated it by cycle." The same set of numbers has been used for 13 and a half years.
Now let's look at what this formula predicts for recent #BTC prices.
Detailed explanation is in the first comment below, and please also check the chart.👇👇👇What’s most interesting in the market right now isn’t why BTC hasn’t risen, but why it hasn’t crashed yet: the 10-year US Treasury yield has already touched 5.23%, global bonds are all repricing for rate hikes, yet over the past 6 trading days, US ETFs have still seen net purchases of about $2.8 billion.
What’s really worth waiting for over the weekend isn’t the next big BTC green candle, but whether oil prices can continue to fall and whether the 10Y yield can confirm 5.23% as a temporary peak. As long as the bond market starts to ease, this buying momentum in ETFs will have a chance to turn 84K into a springboard to launch an attack toward 87K or even higher.Don't be fooled by BTC's short-term rebound; what truly determines the pricing of risk assets is U.S. Treasuries. The sustained high yields on 10-year and 30-year bonds mean that the cost of capital in dollars is rising again. For BTC, a risk-free return above 5% is compressing the risk premium. As long as long-term rates don't ease, liquidity cannot be considered loose. What the market really needs to be wary of right now is not the correction itself, but the duration of high interest rates exceeding expectations. $BTC $ETH #美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ #美债长端利率持续攀升，融资压力升温 📰 【SEC and CFTC Release Updated Crypto FAQs: Token Buybacks and Network Upgrades Do Not Necessarily Constitute Securities, CFTC Allows On-Chain Record Keeping】
BlockBeats reports that on September 26, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Corporation Finance issued updated FAQs on September 25, clarifying that token buybacks, network upgrades, and marketing statements do not automatically make crypto assets securities. SEC staff pointed out that announcing a buyback plan for an already operating crypto network does not itself make the related tokens investment contracts, but if the network is not yet operational and the issuer promotes the buyback as a source of returns for holders, the situation may differ. The FAQ also clarifies that once a crypto system is operational, services provided to secure, maintain, improve, or enhance the system or its functions, or to promote network effects, do not constitute managerial efforts under the Howey test. Marketing the existing uses of the network generally also does not generate...
This softer compliance stance mainly benefits projects with real networks and revenue, making buybacks and upgrades easier to frame as value narratives. But don’t get ahead of yourself; the key is whether they are using compliance as a bullish signal to pump, as on-chain data not keeping up is just sentiment. Which ecosystems preparing buybacks will you be watching?

$BTC $ETH $CL Here's a revised version that reads more like crypto market news flash with in-depth insights, reducing repetitive expressions while adding capital flow logic and market observations:
ETF Capital Reshapes BTC Narrative
🚨 ETFs are redefining Bitcoin's capital dynamics
Since the start of this year, the capital flow curve for U.S. spot $BTC ETFs has experienced a clear reversal.
At the beginning of the year, there was a net outflow of approximately $5.8 billion, but by late September, the annual capital flow turned positive again. Single-day inflows once neared $1 billion, marking one of the strongest capital returns this year, with products like IBIT, ARKB, and FBTC all benefiting from this inflow.
From a long-term perspective, cumulative net inflows into U.S. spot BTC ETFs have surpassed $55.1 billion.
However, the real focus isn't on how much capital flowed in on any given day, but rather on the changing profile of ETF holders behind these flows.
A Bitwise survey of 15 major global institutions revealed that during the sharp drawdown from Q4 2025 to Q2 2026, none of the respondents reduced their positions due to price declines; some even increased their allocations.
In other words, for certain institutions, BTC's price drops have shifted from being a "sell signal" to a "reallocation opportunity."
📊 The cost structure also warrants attention.
Currently, the average holding cost for spot BTC ETFs hovers around the $81,700–$82,000 range. When $BTC The bulls have just been liquidated in a round.
#BTC dropped from $87,400 to $82,800, with about $1.1 billion liquidated within 48 hours.
Below $80,000–$83,000, there is about $1.3 billion liquidity that could be swept.
But above $85,000–$89,000, there is a cluster of about $2.7 billion in liquidations stacked; from a liquidity perspective, that area is more likely to be touched next.
The bears responded very well this time.$ONE Woke up, and the market took another step,,
Dog manipulators, really fiends
Got beaten
Started with 100 USD, target 100,000. Worked hard for a month, account number: -30.
The script collapsed like this—short ZEC, got beaten; short ETH, got beaten; short some altcoins, kept getting beaten. At most, holding a dozen short positions, bulls kept crushing wave after wave, all I could do was keep hitting stop loss.
At first, I was stubborn: "This is a pullback, just hold on and it will come down." Only at the end did I realize, it’s not the market giving no way out, it’s that I had the wrong script—using bear market thinking in a bull market, everything went wrong.
This month's highest return hit 80%, now that number makes my eyes hurt. Three months of profits wiped out in a week, principal starting to show red alerts. Especially that ZEC trade, if I had admitted my mistake earlier, it wouldn’t have hurt this badly. Later, made a little money going long, but all went to fill the holes from the short positions, robbing Peter to pay Paul.
What’s worse, I didn’t learn my lesson and went short on ONE again.
The market gave the harshest lesson: you think it should fall, but it just rises to show you.
But I’m still here, the table’s not down yet. The challenge from 100 to 100,000 is not canceled, just changing tactics—survive first, then talk about making money. In crazy markets, staying at the table itself is a skill.
#美股探索代币化与全天候交易 Locking for three years brings surprises? First, calculate the opportunity cost.
Some people put $CORE into their wallets and "don’t look, don’t listen, don’t touch," betting on surprises after three years. But what’s the logic? Time only allows good projects to mature and bad projects to go to zero; it doesn’t automatically create value. If after four years no value has appeared, adding another three years is more like using faith to cover silent costs.
The market never has only one coin. If you really believe in the future, why insist on holding an unknown variable for another three years? Currently, there are different narratives like $BICO, $LAB, and a continuous stream of new projects. More choices mean opportunity costs are more real. New coins may bring surprises or may go straight to zero; the key is not "new," but whether you can understand their ecosystem, demand, and token value capture ability.
The most dangerous part of "locking" is that it stops people from making judgments. Investing is not about who endures longer, but who places funds on better odds.
Just a personal opinion, not any investment advice or guidance.
#美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ #Muse加速扩张，MetaAI投入或迎来变现 #财报观察员：好市多业绩超预期，美光接棒 Bitcoin has pulled back, hovering around 83,000; Ethereum is at 2,600 and 9; but Solana is moving against the trend, surging to 122, up 5%. This is a typical sector rotation—Bitcoin takes a breather, and funds flow into strong altcoins, with SOL clearly leading recently. Looking at my pending orders, Bitcoin is just over a thousand dollars away from the first level at 82,500, even closer than last night. I've been saying to wait for a pullback these days, and it might really be on the way. But note, a pullback doesn't mean a crash. Bitcoin tried to break 85,000 once but didn't hold, so it's taking a breather and gathering strength again, which is perfectly normal. Bull markets never go straight up; it's always two steps forward, one step back. My strategy remains unchanged: wait at the first level of 82,500, buy in when it hits; if not, keep watching. Although SOL is strong, I won't chase it. The portion I reduced earlier won't be bought back at high prices. The extra allocation from the rise is a gift for holders, not an opportunity for those chasing highs. There are ways to profit when prices rise and ways to buy on dips—be prepared for both, no panic.Brothers, after BTC and ETH fell from their eight-month highs, they are still struggling around 84,000
$BTC $83,920 | $ETH $2,690
Bitcoin retraced from the $87,385 high to around $83,920, with an intraday low of $83,229. Ethereum also fell back to $2,690; although it rose 3% this week, it is still down 9.4% for 2026
ETF inflows plummeted 81%, Bitget hacker incident adds insult to injury
The real pressure comes from the capital side. Although Bitcoin ETFs have had net inflows for six consecutive days totaling over 2.8 billion, the single-day inflow dropped sharply from 999 million on Monday to 191 million, shrinking 81% in four days. IBIT accounted for 85% of that day's inflow, showing extremely high capital concentration. Ethereum ETFs had a total net outflow of 248 million yesterday, with BlackRock's ETHA single-day outflow of 200 million, marking five consecutive days of net outflows
Meanwhile, Bitget exchange was hacked, with about 352 million USD worth of assets stolen, involving ETH, XRP, and stablecoins. This is the largest exchange security incident so far in 2026, severely damaging investor sentiment
Liquidation data reveals key levels. If BTC falls below $79,929, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on mainstream CEXs will reach 1.288 billion; if ETH falls below $2,562, long liquidation intensity will reach 944 million
Discuss in the comments: with ETF inflows suddenly braking and the exchange hacked, how deep will this correction be?👇
#美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ 【100U Challenge 10000U】Day 2
Date: 2026.09.26
Principal: 100U
Current Total Assets: 96.54U (Available 90.52U + ONE Grid 6U + Floating Profit 0.02U)
Today's Profit and Loss: +1.88U
Cumulative Return: -3.46U (-3.46%)
Progress Toward Goal: Current 96.54U / Target 10000U, Completed 0.97%, 9903.46U away from target
Today's Operations:
1. ONE/USDT Short Grid: Newly opened position, invested 6U, 10x leverage, range 0.001-0.003. Current price 0.0024445, liquidation price 0.0034248. Grid profit +0.065U, unmatched -0.045U, arbitrage 17 times, total profit +0.02U.
Review:
Strictly followed the "no fighting attachment" rule today. ZEC had a floating loss over 27% last night, took profit this morning to avoid forced liquidation; SOL grid took profit decisively when overbought. Overall loss narrowed to 3.46%. Newly opened ONE grid has very low capital (6%), used to test small coin oscillation range.
Plan:
Closely monitor ONE grid liquidation price (0.0034248), decisively stop loss if price breaks 0.0034. Wait for SOL to pull back to 116-118 or stabilize above 122 before layout. Overall single trade risk controlled within 10% of total capital.
#美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ Regarding $BCH, why is it so strong right now? Could it become like $ZEC?
Currently, the positive news about BCH is all about ETF applications. It's similar to how after the big $BTC ETF succeeded, the market started looking for the next PoW asset that might get approved! Plus, the big $BTC ETF has seen continuous large net inflows, driving the entire sector! Also, as long as institutions or large funds keep buying, the price elasticity is very high. This is very, very similar to ZEC! But its business sector is peer-to-peer electronic cash, and its real-world adoption hasn't exploded. So the recent rise is more about ETF and capital logic. Moving forward, we need to watch whether $BTC falls below or holds above 80,000 and whether ETF applications continue to progress. In summary, so far only $BTC, $ETH, and ZEC have successfully applied for ETFs, which is enough to see the changes in volume. The market is looking for the next target, so everyone can pay attention to products like BCH, NEAR, etc., because they have all submitted ETF applications!🎯 $ZEC is consolidating below 1590 with shrinking volume, waiting for a directional choice
Current price 1545, 4-hour range 1536-1563, volume significantly contracted.
Daily candle closed up 2%, one of the few resilient picks in the privacy sector.
Positive catalyst: 21Shares will launch Europe's first Zcash spot ETP, opening an entry channel for institutional funds, but the price has not yet reflected this positive news.
Resistance above at 1556–1561 is strong; two consecutive attempts to break through were rejected.
Support at 1533, 1536; if broken, the next target is 1501.
Funding rate 0.0049%, longs paying slightly, no short squeeze currently.
Currently not weakening, but a stalemate between bulls and bears, with volume continuously shrinking; neither side willing to make the first move.
Conclusion: Before the ETP launch or sector rally begins, it will likely continue to grind with low volume; chasing highs at this level is risky. $BTC $ETH 1️⃣ Why did this breakout happen?
1. BTC leading: Bitcoin surged to 84,000–85,000, risk appetite returned, ETH/BTC bottomed and rebounded
2. Macro pressure eased: oil prices fell → inflation worries decreased, despite the Fed raising rates by 25bp and the CLARITY Act being rejected, the market still priced in the "bad news"
3. ETF capital inflow: US spot ETH ETFs saw continuous net inflows from 9/21 to 9/24
4. Short covering + whale withdrawals: exchange ETH reserves declined, short liquidations drove a short-term surge
2️⃣ Key price levels
Support: 2680 / 2650 / 2626 (if 2600 breaks, the breakout structure weakens)
Resistance: 2760–2786 → 2800 → 2894 → 3000
Holding above 2700 and not breaking on pullback → target 2800, 3000; surging with volume but stalling → likely to retrace
3️⃣ Risks to watch
RSI near overbought, Stochastic high, short-term profit-taking pressure; mainnet active addresses/transactions have not fully kept pace with price, indicating this move is driven by "macro + derivatives + ETF," not purely on-chain fundamentals.$CORE saw a post today that analyzed this very well. Every day, CORE and BTC holders provide security for the Core network through staking. But what really deserves attention might not be the "staking" itself, but the security model behind it. The security of traditional PoS networks largely depends on the native token. Core is trying to build another path: CORE + BTC → multi-asset economic security. Why is this important? Because the consensus security of a single asset is naturally affected by its own price and market size. When different types of assets jointly participate in network security, theoretically it can: 🔹 Diversify single-asset risk 🔹 Increase the economic cost of attacking the network 🔹 Expand the capital base participating in consensus 🔹 Introduce BTC's huge economic value into the on-chain security system And this is exactly a very worthwhile long-term direction for BTCFi: BTC is not just "used," it can also be used to provide network security. From this perspective, what Core wants to do may not just be a BTCFi application ecosystem. It seems more like exploring a bigger question: Can Bitcoin's huge capital pool become the economic security layer for other blockchains? If the answer is ultimately yes, then BTC's role may expand from: Store of Value further to: Financial Asset → DeFi CoIn the next phase, most people will sell their altcoins too early.
During altcoin season, the more hacker incidents and negative news there are, the stronger the altcoins tend to rise.
Look at this BTC.D chart.A few days ago, after the news that Binance invested in Circle came out, many people said the market hadn't yet reacted to this big positive news, and the price hadn't reflected it yet. At that time, everyone was saying $80 was Binance's buying price, and now it's $95, which means it's basically on the same starting line as Binance.
However, in the past two days, CRCL has already dropped to $88, and today there are rumors that its CFO has resigned. I have always believed that you shouldn't trade based on news or chase highs just because of positive news. The crypto world today is no longer the simple model it used to be; it has become a difficult mode.
Countless institutions and teams are watching the news, and the moment positive news comes out, they instantly buy in. When ordinary people chase the price higher afterward, they are just providing liquidity for those institutions to exit. So I never do short-term news trading. I understand that I don't have the skills, and as an ordinary person, why would I chase highs and take over the position after positive news and still be able to make money and walk away unscathed?
News trading is essentially short-term trading and speculation. I believe more in long-term strategy. CRCL, as the first stablecoin stock, the leader in compliant stablecoins, and the cornerstone stablecoin of DeFi, its fundamentals haven't changed. I will only add to my position on dips. Be a friend of time and gradually become wealthy.US Treasury yields soar, BTC under pressure!
The US 10-year Treasury yield surged to 5.18%, a new high since 2007, with funds continuously flowing into the bond market. $BTC struggles around $84,000. Coupled with the massive $350 million Bitget hack, market sentiment is shaken. Institutional view: Only by holding above $85,000 will miner pressure ease.
$ETH slightly rises, breaking a year-long downtrend line, but faces resistance twice at the $2,800 level, with heavy selling pressure above.
The spotlight is on $SOL, surging to $122, a six-month high. Stablecoin regulations are favorable; in September, SOL staking increased by 2.83 million tokens (about $300 million), with funds continuously entering.
#US long-term Treasury yields continue to climb, financing pressure intensifies Yesterday, Bitcoin opened at 84,300 and closed at 85,000, rising more than 10% within a week. Ethereum also rose nearly 10% during the same period. What's interesting is not the increase itself, but a subtle piece of news: The U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency has required Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to include cryptocurrencies in the asset scope for mortgage loans. In other words, from now on, the coins you hold can count as collateral for your down payment when buying a house. This is the most straightforward implementation of RWA—not just a concept diagram in a whitepaper, but a real loan approval form with actual money. I often say that many positive developments in the crypto world are like the early stages of a romance—full of romantic words. Mortgages are different; banks are the most pragmatic. They only put your coins into contracts if they recognize their value. This time, it’s truly written into the contract. Wall Street is also buzzing. Some fund managers are shouting that Bitcoin will hit $250,000, while others say the crypto winter has just ended and caution against premature optimism. I think both sides are right; they just have different time horizons. In the short term, it depends on whether the Fed cuts interest rates. In the long term, this kind of collateral recognition is what will slowly rewrite the rules of the game. Everyone loves you when the market takes off; when the market is sideways, you see who the true supporters are. I’m not giving any trading advice this time, just a reminder: don’t just focus on the candlestick charts. Changes quietly happening in policy gaps are often more worth noting than the trading calls shouted on Twitter. peace #Bitcoin #RWA #Cryptocurrency #FederalReserve #MortgageCollateral #CryptoDaily $CORE One-sentence overview BTC‑Fi sector story told most perfectly, but an independent L1 public chain with seriously delayed implementation.

Exchanges and chips Leading exchanges spot holdingsLast year's #1011 was a devastating blow for many people—a collective collapse of altcoins that looked like a massive exit scam scene.
Afterwards, many people quit the space outright, and among those who stayed, a large number vowed never to touch altcoins again.
But looking back now, those strong coins that held on have fully recovered their losses, some rising 5 to 6 times from the bottom.
What’s most worth pondering here isn’t "how much was missed," but how panic is priced:
During the crash, everyone sold off using the same logic, and the price was filled with emotion rather than value. So the same coin can be tagged with completely different prices in fear versus calm.
The word "crisis" itself holds the answer—there is opportunity within danger.
Of course, the premise is that you have to survive until that day, not be forced out at the lowest point. 🙏AAVE broke through the 153 historical platform, how to trade this position
Today we discuss AAVE strategy, starting with the structure
Current price is 156, the upper boundary of the 60-period range is 156, today's daily K candle directly hit the ceiling
Volume is the key signal, 4-hour volume rose from 7852 to 19684, nearly 1.5 times increase
Don't chase on volume surge without price increase, only consider when volume breaks the platform
So my judgment is this wave is a volume breakout, not a pump and dump
Enter after confirmation, do not trade the first candle
Lightly test long near 153 on pullback, 10% position, stop loss below 149
If it breaks, it means the breakout is fake
Target first look at 165, risk-reward ratio about 1 to 2.5
If volume surges and directly breaks through 156.65 resistance, don't chase on pullback, wait for stabilization and confirmation
Keep position under 30%, this asset's fee rate is capped at 0.0077%, bulls are already paying
Breakouts are for testing and error, not for heavy positions
$AAVE $BTC #DeFi #strategy#USDT.D confirmed a bullish divergence on the daily chart.
This usually means capital is flowing back into stablecoins, and the market may face a broader correction.
But don't expect a new low.I've been holding a short position on big coin $BTC for two days now,
let me share my feelings.
First, when big coin dropped below 83000,
the market was quite pessimistic,
including me.
Some even expected a pullback to 72000,
so I originally planned to short on a rebound at 85000,
I posted about this earlier.
Because I was anxious, I entered the short at 84000.
This caused a poor entry point.
I held the position yesterday, and last night it rebounded to 85250,
while second coin $ETH rebounded even more ridiculously to 2745.
At that moment, my heart was really bleeding,
fortunately, it soon crashed down.
Last night the crash bottomed at 83100,
I had my hand on the close position button at this level,
after thinking for a while,
I decided to hold on.
For this pullback,
my target is at least around 80000,
and further down I can see 76000.
What do you guys think? Check my pinned post. The profits of long-term Bitcoin holders have dropped from nearly 350% in December 2024 to about 72% $BTC
This indicates that at the end of 2024, long-term holders saw Bitcoin rise very high and sold in large quantities, earning nearly 3.5 times (350%) on average when selling, with heavy distribution, like "chip distribution" $ETH
But now, when they sell, they only earn a little over 70% (72%) on average, with much smaller profits, and the enthusiasm for selling has clearly cooled down
This level is more like the situation in previous bear markets, rather than the frenzy of cashing out at the peak of a bull market
This shift is important because it shows the market is no longer experiencing the same degree of profit-taking seen in the stronger distribution phase of the last cycle, and it also indicates the market environment has moved far away from peak distribution intensity $SOL
Long-term Bitcoin holders have moved out of the "crazy high-level selling" phase, and selling pressure is not as strong
They are more willing to hold on and wait to sell at higher prices, rather than rushing to cash out Policy-wise, "negative factors fully priced in" instead act as a catalyst: The CLARITY Act failed to reach the 60-vote threshold on September 16, but the market interpreted this as "short-term release of regulatory uncertainty," leading to a rebound in risk appetite. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Hougan declared the "crypto winter" over and the beginning of a "crypto spring." Fed rate hike fully priced in: After the Fed raised rates by 25bp on September 17, the market shifted from "fear and uncertainty" to "pricing in a known environment," with BTC as a risk asset being repriced. Improved liquidity: The spot BTC ETF saw net inflows for 8 consecutive trading days totaling $2.8 billion; open interest in futures contracts increased 8.8% over the past 7 days to $55.7 billion (92nd percentile over 90 days), indicating traders are actively leveraging in rather than being passively squeezed. Technical signals turn bullish: BTC closed above the 50-week moving average on the weekly chart for the first time in about 10 months. CoinMarketCap's head of research believes this "changes the narrative"—market focus shifts from "where is the bottom" to "whether a new bull market has begun." The Fear & Greed Index rose to 77, entering the "greed" zone. $BTC #ETH short positions surged 8,300% in two weeks, hitting the highest level since June 2022, which is indeed astonishing.
However, large short positions on Bitfinex are not necessarily directional bets.
They could be hedges, arbitrage, or market makers' neutral positions.
Interpreting these positions directly as "someone knows insider information" overlooks the composition and motives of exchange users.
Large short positions do not necessarily mean a price drop, nor do they necessarily mean a short squeeze; it depends on which way the price moves first.Rate hikes haven't crashed BTC; Micron is the key to the market
In this round of Federal Reserve rate hikes, BTC did not weaken, rising to 87,000 before pulling back, currently oscillating between 84,000 and 85,000.
The core reason is that negative factors were fully priced in advance, combined with nearly $1 billion net inflow into BTC ETFs in a single day, with institutions providing long-term support. The market resilience is very strong and is no longer dominated by retail sentiment.
US consumer data remains strong, inflation cooling is difficult, and the Fed still holds hawkish expectations. What truly influences the market direction now is not the rate hike, but Micron's earnings report.
Whether AI storage demand can translate into profits directly determines the sentiment of tech stocks and the crypto market. If earnings exceed expectations, the market will warm up; if performance disappoints, it will likely trigger a correlated pullback.
Trading strategy: Do not chase highs, hold the 83,000–84,000 support, wait quietly for Micron's earnings report to land, then decide the next direction.
⚠️ Market review only, not investment advice #美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ 🔥Narrow-range tug-of-war is the most patience-testing; a real breakout is actually cleaner.
Mainstream coins have been consolidating sideways for the sixth day, with bulls and bears both holding their cards close. $ETH oscillates around 2635, facing selling pressure at 2672 above and support at 2608 below. I hold a long position at 2648, reducing half on the rally and adding back on the pullback to the moving average, continuing to hold.
BTC fluctuates between 84000 and 86000, with both long chasers and short sellers getting hit. SOL is running an independent trend, up 3% to 117; the quick rise carries high pullback risk, so I’m just watching, not trading.
Frequent direction changes are the worst during consolidation; back-and-forth trades easily get eaten by slippage. At this stage, no new positions are added; existing longs are held. Until the range breaks, intraday moves are just tests.
👉 Do you predict a breakout upwards or downwards first?
⚠️ Market observation only, not investment advice #美联储重启加息，BTC为何仍有韧性？ Don't treat Ethereum as just a speculative trading asset. At its core, it is a settlement layer. The price may surge and plunge, but the L2 ecosystem is continuously encroaching on traditional finance's territory. Market trends are just the surface; the real battle is in infrastructure competition. $ETH Finally, let's wrap up by looking at the news and what to watch next. Funding: This week, the buying of US spot ETFs was actually very strong. From Monday to Thursday, spot ETFs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Zcash collectively attracted about $3.04 billion, with Bitcoin around $2.25 billion and Ethereum about $600 million. Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows for six consecutive trading days until September 24, but the daily amounts have been declining for three days in a row, from about $999 million on Monday down to about $190 million on Thursday. The numbers for September 25 (Friday) are not yet finalized: Bitcoin and Ethereum still have BlackRock's ETF unreported; Solana is preliminarily about $86.7 million, with one more ETF unreported. These are for reference only and not to be forced together. Contracts: As of 9:30 PM last night, the total liquidations across the network in 24 hours were about $300 million, with longs at $121 million and shorts at $180 million. This time, more shorts were liquidated, related to altcoins squeezing shorts upward. OKX perpetual funding rates for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are slightly positive; Dogecoin and Ripple are at a basic level of 0.01%, with no overall overheating. Solana's open interest increased by about 8% in just over a day, the fastest leverage buildup among these coins. Macroeconomics: Last night, US stocks closed higher, with the Dow up about 0.9% and the S&P up about 0.5%, mainly because Iran proposed a plan to end the war, oil A surge right after closing a position—Is this market movement just bizarre, or is the position too crowded? Have you ever experienced the moment of "selling at the lowest point"? When I saw the complaints about $AKE $ZEC $ONE, my first reaction wasn’t laughter but alertness. When someone closes a position and the price immediately rallies, it might seem like a matter of luck on the surface, but it often indicates one thing: chips have been exchanged within an extremely narrow range, selling pressure has been absorbed, and the trigger point came very suddenly. What’s truly worth noting in this post isn’t the grievance but the three assets mentioned alongside three macro tags: the Federal Reserve restarting rate hike discussions, BTC still showing resilience, and rising long-term US Treasury yields. The simultaneous occurrence of these three factors is itself a live event of repricing. Let’s first look at the transmission path. When long-term yields rise, it usually means financing costs become more expensive and risk appetite is suppressed. But BTC didn’t crash immediately, indicating the market isn’t trading on the old logic of "rate hikes equal bearishness" but rather on "who can withstand pressure better." When US Treasury yields rise, some funds actually seek non-sovereign, non-credit assets for hedging. This is the bullish line. But don’t get excited too soon. If the rate increase is due to inflation expectations rising again rather than strong growth, altcoins will be hit first. The rebound of assets like $AKE $ZEC $ONE is likely just short covering and pulses under low liquidity, not the start of a trend. ZEC has a privacy narrative, ONE has a scaling concept, and AKE leans more toward small-cap elasticity; their common point is: light market caps $QNT suddenly surged 39%, what exactly is the market rushing for this time?
QNT really has something going on this round. On September 24, it surged to $90.9, with a single-day trading volume of about $29 million, significantly higher than the previous day's $10.6 million. The price jumped from around $70 to above $90 in just two days.
The catalyst is indeed solid: The Clearing House selected Quant as the interoperability layer for the US banks' tokenized deposit network, connecting traditional payment systems like RTP and CHIPS, expected to open in the first half of 2027.
But there is a key detail here. From September 16 to 23, QNT's on-chain active addresses had already noticeably increased, reaching 2,064 on the 24th, indicating that the capital and attention were not entirely spontaneous. Meanwhile, Binance had previously delisted the QNT/USDC spot and margin trading pairs, making the market liquidity structure somewhat twisted.
I think this is the "institutional tokenization narrative starting to be priced in early." Whether it can hold above $90 is the key. If the trading volume continues to expand and on-chain activity persists, this story might shift from speculation on expectations to speculation on actual implementation.
