#数字资产市场动态 Bitcoin once again shows strong momentum! The recent movements in the crypto market have indeed been quite vigorous.

In terms of market performance, Bitcoin surged above $96,500, with a 24-hour increase of nearly 5%, currently stabilizing around $95,000. Ethereum followed suit more aggressively, soaring over 7.6% in a single day, reaching $3,380, hitting a recent high. Even usually less noticeable coins like DASH joined the excitement, rising by over 40 points. Dogecoin also turned red with an increase of over 8%. The total market capitalization has rebounded to $32.4 trillion, with a 24-hour growth of over 3.6%.

Behind this rally, three main forces are driving the momentum. First is the positive regulatory news — the draft of the US "Digital Asset Clarification Act" is set to enter review this week, which means crypto assets are expected to move from ambiguity to a clear regulatory framework, boosting institutional investors' confidence significantly. Second is the massive influx of institutional funds — the Bitcoin spot ETF saw a net inflow of over $100 million in a single day, ending previous outflows. Third is the continued weakness of the US dollar index, coupled with global geopolitical volatility, which has highlighted the safe-haven characteristics of virtual currencies.

However, amidst the celebration, it’s important to recognize the risks. Over 120,000 traders were liquidated within 24 hours, with a total liquidation amount of $685 million, and short positions were essentially crushed. But the issue is that retail demand remains lukewarm; spot ETF funds continue to flow out, exceeding $6 billion, indicating doubts about the market’s true momentum. Even more concerning is that Bitcoin has, for the first time, shown signs of decoupling from the global M2 supply, and the potential threat of quantum computing to cryptographic security is becoming more realistic. Once this Damocles sword falls, the entire industry will need to rethink everything.

It's the same story again—regulatory benefits, institutional entry, hedging demand... I'm tired of hearing it. The key question is, are retail investors really coming in? Among the 120,000 people wiped out, quite a few were probably cut off. In this kind of market, the biggest fear is a sudden 50% plunge. The segment about quantum computing is a bit scary, but it's still far from a real threat. Don't make it sound like the end of the world. Wait, are spot ETF outflows still happening? Is this recent surge driven by genuine demand or leverage trading? Can 96,500 really hold? I have a feeling it's a bit fragile.

Here it comes again, is this really going to break new highs this time or just another false breakout? I laughed the moment 120,000 people got liquidated. --- Regulation is really here, the institutions can finally breathe a sigh of relief. --- Wait, are retail investors still withdrawing funds? Then who is catching this wave of rise? --- Don’t scare me with quantum computing, that day hasn’t come yet. --- If 96,500 can’t hold steady, how dare you claim strength? I’m watching. --- ETH’s recent surge is indeed fierce, but I still feel it lacks momentum. --- The detail about spot ETF outflows is a bit strange, are big players quietly selling off? --- The dollar’s weakness has been talked about a hundred times, but the real driver of the rally is probably FOMO. --- Liquidation of 685 million, sounds exciting, another wave of wealth transfer. --- Is the decoupling of M2 a signal, or just a coincidence?

Again, another 120,000 people are about to be liquidated, the retail investors are really being cut harshly... --- Regulatory boots landing instead of causing a dip? How can anyone still believe that? --- Can 96,500 really hold steady, or is this just another scheme by institutions to cut retail investors... --- The decoupling of M2 is indeed a bit unsettling, what if quantum computing arrives one day... --- The outflow of $6 billion from spot ETFs is still increasing, indicating that institutions are just playing psychological games --- Are retail investors really this indifferent? Turns out it's all big players just hyping themselves up? --- The metaphor of the Sword of Damocles is used perfectly; this sword will fall sooner or later --- A daily liquidation of 120,000, this number seems a bit outrageous, true or false? --- DASH surged over 40 points? Any small coin can dance on the trend, this market is really crazy --- All the good news has been released, what else is there to speculate on next?

9.5K has stabilized again, this time really different, feeling a bit off It goes up quickly and comes down just as fast, I almost laughed when 120,000 people got liquidated Honestly, there's not much enthusiasm on the retail side, everyone has been played out by the institutional players Quantum computing is a bit terrifying, feels like a ticking time bomb Regulatory good news? Uh... let's see what they say later This wave of gains looks comfortable, but I always feel the next turning point is waiting for me around the corner ETH hitting 7.6K, I really didn't expect that, this pace is a bit extreme

Here it comes again. This wave of rebound strength is indeed fierce, but I always feel like institutions are accumulating while retail investors are taking the hit. It’s a bit mysterious. --- Regulatory favorable news + ETF inflows, sounds good, but how come 120,000 people got liquidated in a day? --- Doubting the genuine momentum—this statement hits hard. Feels like repeating the old tricks again. --- Decoupling of M2? No way. This time, I always feel like the rise is a bit suspicious. --- Don’t even mention quantum computing, I’ll be dreaming about it tonight. --- Wait, retail ETF outflows are still at 6 billion? Are they bloodsucking? --- Stabilizing at $96,500? I bet five cents tomorrow will see a pullback again. --- Why didn’t I see Dash rise by 40 points? I’ll check the K-line later. --- The worst part is when all the regulatory good news during rises are true, but during drops, all the bad news are also true. --- Institutions eat the meat while retail drink the soup. It’s the old script, everyone.

Wait, 120,000 people liquidated with over 600 million? There's so much behind this surge... Retail investors are still out there bragging, but institutions have already shut the door. How do you even trade like this? $96,500 looks impressive, but the spot ETF flipped and sold $6 billion. Who's cutting whom? Quantum computing is really concerning. Will future encryption keys need to be replaced and upgraded? This rebound is just a shakeout, waiting to trap the next batch of new investors.
