Do you feel that U.S. crypto regulation is about to undergo a major shift? When you watch last month’s Senate Banking Committee hearing, it becomes clear that the regulators’ posture has started to change significantly.
They’re shifting from strict enforcement like before to proper rulemaking. What was especially striking was that leaders from the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency began treating digital assets not as peripheral issues, but as a core part of the financial system. It also feels like U.S. cryptocurrency policy is finally moving toward a more

Recent predictions about Bitcoin's future seem to be divided with conflicting opinions in the market. In the second half of 2025, BTC did not rise as much as expected. While it recorded a decline of over 11% after the Trump administration took office, silver prices more than doubled. This contrast is quite interesting.
Analysts' opinions are largely divided. KALEO points out that current Bitcoin is in a "subtle" correction phase similar to late 2020. If buying demand from small investors increases and selling pressure from large investors decreases, a super cycle rebound in 2026 could very wel

When I checked Hyperliquid's Wall Street wallet, the position size is over $3.7 billion.
Longs and shorts are almost evenly matched, suggesting a balanced market environment.
However, what’s concerning is that unrealized gains on the long side exceed $45 million, while the short side has an unrealized loss of $65 million.
Especially interesting is the activity of large wallets: they are shorting BTC with 40x leverage, already incurring nearly $5 million in losses.
If such large traders continue to go against the trend, it could signal a market reversal, so it might be interesting to wa

Last week, I saw that Zeekr announced the start of mass production of their new flagship SUV, the Zeekr 8X.
This in itself is noteworthy, but what’s even more interesting is the presence of the AI agent called "Super Eva" installed in this vehicle.
In simple terms, Super Eva is an AI system centered around Zeekr’s Step 3.5 Flash model, allowing all in-car operations to be controlled through natural conversation alone.
It’s not just an extension of voice recognition; it understands and executes complex multi-step tasks. For example, by simply saying, “Pick up the kids from school, stop by

News has come in for developers on the BNB Chain. It seems that the BscScan API will be officially discontinued, and will be integrated into Etherscan API V2 moving forward.
Developers using the free plan or projects relying on enhanced endpoints should be cautious. To prevent the app from stopping, it’s necessary to migrate to the BSCTrace service on the MegaNode platform. Have you already started preparing to switch from BscScan?
If you are currently dependent on the existing BscScan API, it’s advisable to take action sooner rather than later. Troubles during the migration period could be pr

There are various predictions about the future of Cardano, but the reality seems to be quite tough. ADA has now dropped to $0.25. It has fallen more than 64% since last year, and last year's forecasts are increasingly being proven wrong. Mr. Mintern predicted it would reach $10 by 2026, but the price has been struggling to grow since then. Charles Hoskinson also seems to be hopeful about upgrades and improvements in the regulatory environment, but actual progress is slow. The development of Cardano over the next 10 years will likely depend on advancements in technology and regulation. It might

Last month, watching the U.S. Senate Banking Committee hearing, I realized that the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is truly entering a turning point. I feel this is the first time the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets has become so clear.
Until now, regulators have taken a tough stance of "regulation through enforcement," but at this hearing, a shift toward formal rulemaking became evident. Stablecoins, bank-led crypto activities, an integrated framework for institutions—looking at this trend, it’s clear that the U.S. is serious about structuring the crypto ma

The market on the day that war broke out was truly chaotic. Wall Street on Tuesday experienced another hellish day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 403 points, the S&P 500 dropped 0.94%, and the Nasdaq declined by 1.02%. Looking at the numbers alone, it might not seem like a big deal, but during actual trading, it was a different story.
At the worst moment during trading, the Dow briefly plummeted by over 1,200 points. The S&P 500 fell by 2.5%, and the Nasdaq index dropped by 2.7%. This was the worst sell-off since early February. The market was nervous, with large-scale sell-offs tri

As tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz, investors are actively preparing for a scenario of World War III. This narrow waterway accounts for one-fifth of global oil transportation, but recent military confrontations have significantly impacted energy markets and asset allocations.
First, attention must be paid to the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz. A few weeks ago, Iranian defense officials declared that "the strait has been closed," warning of attacks on passing ships. In reality, war risk insurance premiums have skyrocketed, and major shipping companies have announced suspension

SNX is in an interesting position. It’s approaching the point where the demand zone and the upward trend line intersect, which is a point where a rebound can be highly expected. Currently around $0.31, with a 24-hour+1.69%, so it seems to be starting to move a little.
How it breaks through this confluence area will likely be the next key. The structure is still intact, so if SNX rebounds from here, there’s a high possibility it will lead to the next upward wave. Looking at the chart, it’s an interesting situation as a trend-following long candidate.
As the price approaches this intersection, I

TRX is standing out in this market downturn. Even though the overall market has dropped 22%, TRX is up 13.5% since the beginning of the year, which is interesting. It's currently trading around $0.32, but I think this performance is quite unusual.
I was curious why TRX is so strong, so I looked into it, and it seems that the demand for USDT is related. The more turbulent the market, the more traders move into stablecoins. Since Tron is a major hub for USDT trading, even if other coins are struggling, the demand for TRX remains surprisingly stable. Plus, Tron’s network has low transaction fees

Recently, I reorganized my understanding of Aave, and this DeFi platform is truly multifunctional. In simple terms, Aave is a system that allows borrowing and lending of cryptocurrencies without intermediaries, operating on the Ethereum chain.
What’s interesting about Aave is that it not only offers simple lending and borrowing but also has several unique features. First, there is a feature called flash loans, which allows borrowing large amounts of assets without collateral, but they must be repaid within the same transaction. It is often used for DeFi strategies like arbitrage.
Additionally,

The bullish gold market is approaching a turning point. Recently, Daniel Oliver, founder of Myrmikan Capital, pointed out that the smooth upward trend that has persisted since 2022 is now about to change dramatically.
According to his analysis, the gold market has gone through two phases. The first phase was when geopolitical tensions prompted non-aligned countries to review their dollar reserves. Central banks quietly continued buying without concern for short-term price fluctuations. As a result, the chart depicted a beautiful parabola.
However, now that orderly rise is beginning to break do

There are signs that the market has begun to break out of the recent weeks' quiet zone. BTC has now risen to 77.7K, but this is where the real test begins. Looking at the weekly chart, the survival zone from 54K to 70K has already been broken through, but to demonstrate true strength, another confirmation is needed at this stage.
What concerns me is the RSI. The weekly RSI remains in the oversold territory, which has historically served as a bottom formation signal. In other words, technically, there is still room for an upward move. If the current level is firmly supported, there is a good ch

Interesting developments are happening in South Korea's cryptocurrency market. Tether and Circle are simultaneously accelerating their local business expansion, and this is not just about market entry but reflects a strategic move that indicates a major shift in the regulatory environment.
Recently, what has drawn attention is that both companies are actively working on adoption and establishing their presence in Korea. Tether has stationed government relations and investigation teams in Seoul, and Circle has been steadily increasing its presence since the leadership team’s visit. The expansio

The fluctuation rate of XRP has dropped to a low level not seen in a long time.
It's said to be the lowest in 20 months, and the indicator dropped to 96 for the first time since June last year.
The current price is around $1.43, but looking at market data, you can see the pace of decline is slowing down.
What's interesting is what happens from here, but looking at past patterns, after reaching a similar low level in June last year, there was a significant rebound in November.
Market analyst Austin pointed out that although the current price is higher than the lows of June last year, th

Goldman Sachs has started moving to apply for a Bitcoin spot ETF. Since this comes just a few days after Morgan Stanley announced a similar product last week, it clearly shows that institutional investors' interest in this field is rapidly increasing.
This ETF is called the "Goldman Sachs Bitcoin Premium Income ETF," and it primarily allocates over 80% of its assets to Bitcoin-related products such as spot Bitcoin ETPs, options, and indices, rather than directly purchasing BTC. To pay investors monthly dividends, it’s reportedly called "Boomer Candy" by the older asset-owning demographic.
The

It seems that Spark’s token buyback has officially kicked off in earnest. Chain analysts found that recently 570,000 USDS was moved to a multi-signature wallet, and afterward SPK was purchased in small portions using CoW Swap’s TWAP feature. As of now, they have already bought back 1.84 million SPK tokens. In terms of price, that’s equivalent to $36,000, so if you assume the current SPK price is $0.05, this is a fairly large-scale operation.
Spark has previously announced a buyback plan. It was supposed to set aside $35 million as a financial reserve and then allocate 10% of the monthly surplu

Recently, I noticed a new wave coming into the Wall Street arena. Cryptocurrency platforms are starting to offer access to pre-IPO shares. A system has emerged where you can invest in pre-IPO shares of mega-companies like SpaceX and OpenAI through digital assets.
According to the latest report from Biteye, there is a comparative analysis of these platforms. Traditionally, pre-IPO investments were limited to institutional investors on Wall Street, but now, through the cryptocurrency market, they are beginning to open up to individual investors. It has become possible to use mainstream assets li

Regarding the impact of CPI on Bitcoin, there is something that has recently caught my attention. Even though inflation indicators are showing signs of stabilizing, why does BTC continue to be plagued by volatility? Understanding this contradiction has become especially important for traders as the cryptocurrency market matures.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a key indicator of inflation. Recent reports show that CPI has increased by 3.1% year-over-year, down from 3.7% last month. At first glance, it seems that inflationary pressures are easing. However, markets tend to react more to the "g
