Don't be fooled by this eerie calm! This is not tranquility at all, but rather two prehistoric giants fiercely biting each other beneath the water surface. On one side, Japan's "global water pump" is operating, trying to drain cheap yen; on the other side, the US's "institutional printing press" is roaring, with ETFs frantically pouring money into Bitcoin. Two trillion-dollar forces are silently wrestling in the arena of Bitcoin.

Hainan's closure has officially been announced, creating a free trade port that is 8 times larger than Dubai, 30 times larger than Hong Kong, and 50 times larger than Singapore.
But many people still don't understand what Hainan's closure has to do with ordinary people like us.
Is it just that duty-free shops are bigger, allowing us to buy more luxury goods, or even that we will need a visa to go to Hainan in the future?
Actually, your imagination can be even bigger. Today's Hainan will not follow the old paths of Hong Kong, Singapore, or Dubai.

The Bank of Japan will hold a monetary policy meeting from December 18 to 19. The decision results will be announced on December 19 Beijing time, and on the afternoon of the 19th at 14:30, the Governor of the Bank of Japan will give a speech (UTC+8). Regarding this rate hike, the market generally expects it to be certain, which raises a question: as one of the stable currencies, what will happen if the yen becomes unstable?

Tonight's non-farm payroll data was a thunderstorm with little rain, having little impact, so I won't say much. After experiencing a sharp decline and bottoming out yesterday, we are now in a low-range consolidation and small rebound phase. I think the bottom-fishing opportunity is getting closer, and this time the bulls can start to make their move gradually.

Trump is willing to consider pardoning the Samourai wallet developer, which essentially signals a potential easing of regulatory pressures. Samourai Wallet focuses on privacy and was previously targeted because it touched on regulatory red lines. Now, this hint suggests that the next government might be more friendly towards crypto innovation. This is a long-term positive, but remember, it’s “consideration,” not “immediate action.” So tonight’s impact is more of an emotional boost, giving the market an illusion that “it might be supported after a significant drop,” but expecting it to trigger

The reason for Japan's interest rate hike is because the United States demanded Japan to raise interest rates. The U.S. Treasury Secretary has repeatedly urged the Bank of Japan to adopt more sound monetary policies, including allowing interest rate hikes, to reduce frequent interventions in the foreign exchange market. Why does the U.S. want this to happen?
The continuous depreciation of the yen would force Japanese authorities to use their foreign exchange reserves to intervene in the market, and a large portion of these reserves are held in U.S. Treasuries (Japan is the largest overseas hol

DOGE has the strongest and most enduring community consensus and brand recognition in the cryptocurrency space, making it an hard-to-replicate asset. Additionally, DOGE spot ETF applications (such as Grayscale) and other potential institutional entry channels should have a place in the asset allocations of veteran MEME tokens like Dogecoin.

Currently, due to special circumstances, many key economic data are in a "missing" state. The market is like a blind person with their eyes covered, not knowing which direction to take, only blindly buying and selling. Panic sentiment is naturally amplified. To put it simply, this wave of decline is more about "blind panic" and not really driven by that many bad news.

BTC has entered the:
"Slow rise, steady rise, reserve asset" phase.
And ETH is:
**"Transaction layer → Settlement layer → Custody layer → Financial infrastructure layer"**
All exploding simultaneously.
Wall Street always buys assets with "certainty + growth potential."
And now BTC only has certainty,
While ETH simultaneously satisfies:
Growth potential (L2, RWA, prediction markets, tokenized securities)
Deflationary aspect (burning 1500 ETH/day)
Macroeconomics (most affected by interest rate cuts)
Technical factors (inventory clearing, strong support, short squeeze structures)
This is why Yili

Current assessment: A technical correction following a favorable rally. Although interest rate cuts are a substantial positive, the market preemptively priced in the benefit (yesterday's surge to over 92k), causing short-term profit-taking to flood out after the news was announced. The current pattern has shifted from strong to oscillating and somewhat weak, as it searches for a new support level to build a bottom. $BTC

ETH has been grinding low for too long, forming a key "ascending triangle". To put it simply, the buying and selling forces are quietly changing. Last night, it broke through the key pressure level of $3,250 in one go, just like holding its breath for a long time and finally taking a breather, and a large number of wait-and-see funds instantly followed the trend, forming a violent pull-up.

Looking at the US stock market, sectors related to mining companies and trading have all gone up. This is almost exactly the same pattern as before the last bull run started. Experienced players all know that the scenario of "the stock market sets the stage, and the crypto world puts on the show" isn't happening for the first time. Now, the movements of Wall Street funds are already very clear, so it's up to the crypto world to see if it can seize this wave of momentum and catch fire as well.

Buy Tesla with Dogecoin, it's really here!
Another one of Musk's promises has come true! Now in the US, you can use Dogecoin directly to buy certain products on Tesla's official website. This is the first time a mainstream car company has embraced Dogecoin payments.
Previously, Elon Musk launched a poll, and nearly 80% of users showed overwhelming support. Now the dream has become reality—the meme coin’s comeback!

The real bearish factor isn't regulation—it's that you're still panicking over USDT drops, while others are already buying the dip in major coins! The stricter the regulation, the more gray money gets pushed out, bringing us closer to the entry point for mainstream capital. This is the golden rebalancing period before capital restructuring!
Policies have never been able to kill Bitcoin; they only eliminate retail investors and gray market players. The market won't go to zero because of panic; it will just allow those with the right mindset to profit!

Buffett is not optimistic about cryptocurrencies, but his strategy is actually the most suitable for the crypto market: buy and hold leading coins to make a profit. Decentralization is always the core of cryptocurrencies, and BTC is the most decentralized; its value remains immense.
In the past 10 years, BTC has grown 125 times, but that growth rate was possible only because its market cap was small. Now, BTC can no longer replicate the 80% average annual growth of the past decade, but in the next 10 years, BTC can still maintain an average annual growth of 30%.
In other words: by 2035, BTC co

In this bull market, most of the altcoins held by Grayscale have experienced significant price surges. From the mainstream coins and AI tokens like BTC, ETH, SOL, BCH, and LPT that rallied early in the first half of 2024, to XRP, XLM, and LTC in the second half of 2024, then to the privacy coins like ZEN and ZEC that were hyped last month, and finally the consistently rising BAT over the past few days, you might call Grayscale "weak," but the coins in their portfolio have outperformed 99% of institutions and retail investors in this bull market.

The TRON ecosystem has a large user base and a high on-chain stablecoin circulation. When security commitment is combined with ecosystem scale, it sends a new narrative to the global market: on TRON, security is not an add-on feature but the core product itself. This brand effect is expected to attract more institutional users, payment projects, and stablecoin issuers to the ecosystem, making "reliability" a new source of competitive strength for the network.

The unfavourable information from Japan's interest rate hike has just begun to ferment, and this micro-strategy has encountered another problem. The latest announcement of the Fund has become the last straw that broke the market, stating that it needs to raise 1.44 billion USD to pay interest, which suggests a bit of a financial squeeze. There probably won't be much money left to buy coins afterward. Its stock price plummeted 10% early this morning, and Bitcoin also fell to near its previous low.

The three axes directly cut dead coins in the crypto world.
liquidity blood draw
Arbitrage funds withdraw, and the crypto world instantly transforms from "flooded gold mountain" to "dry riverbed".
Leverage Liquidation Amplifier
In the crypto world, leverage of 50x or 100x can be seen at any moment. When the yen appreciates by 1%, prices can drop by 3% to 5%, leading to forced liquidation across the entire platform, and a waterfall can turn directly into a cliff.
Panic is contagious
Big shots run away → Retail investors panic → Media shouts "bear market confirmed" → More people cut losses → The
