Last night I fell victim to a Telegram scam impersonating a friend. It took me about 2 hours to realize something was off, and I promptly removed the device and reset the two-step verification. Thankfully, my account wasn’t completely taken over, and I was able to preserve my assets and chat history.

This was truly perilous. After realizing what had happened, I consulted a tech-savvy friend who confirmed it was logged in through an external link on the web. Fortunately, there were no losses incurred. I'm sharing this to alert friends in my circle.

The scammer's tactics are very predictable:
1. They hijack your friend's TG account.
2. They send a fake screenshot saying "your account has been flagged for fraud" to create panic.
3. They further guide you to click on suspicious links or bots.
4. Once you click in, your account could be stolen in an instant!

The response strategy is quite simple:
1. Immediately contact your friend via WeChat/phone to confirm.
2. Do not click on any suspicious links.
3. Do not reply or add any unfamiliar bots.

Remember:
As long as you don’t click, connect, or authorize, the scammer has no way to get to you.

《Is ZEC About to Make a Key Breakthrough?》

ZEC is firmly testing the critical level of $420, with trading volume exploding: spot at 1.28 billion, futures at 5.5 billion, and open interest up 21%. This is not a retreat; it indicates that funds are coming back.

The privacy sector is heating up simultaneously: banks are integrating, institutions are building positions, and ETF activities are continuous.

From my observation of the market, ZEC has entered a typical turning point zone.

Once 420 is broken, the target will be directly towards 460–500; if it doesn't break, it will pull back.

The current trading volume seems more like someone is positioning in advance, rather than short-term emotional impulses.

When life brings impact
Whether joy or sorrow
Human instinct is to tighten, resist, or indulge.

But a higher level of wisdom
is "practicing relaxation and letting go"
What to let go of is not the people and things outside
but the resistance that arises within us.

Do not close off your heart, let feelings come as they are
Experience it, let it flow through you, then slowly leave you.

When you can experience life this way
nothing can truly bind you.

In daily practice
a little more awareness, a little less resistance
leads to a clearer and lighter existence.

In the past 24 hours, the overall market has strengthened, with $BTC rising back above $92,000, and both mainstream and altcoins have almost all turned from red to green. The key factor driving the market is still this week's Federal Reserve interest rate decision, with market expectations for a 25bp rate cut nearing 95%, and everyone almost defaulted to the notion that liquidity is coming back. In this context, it is not surprising that funds entered the market early.

The actions of institutions are also worth mentioning; a large institution directly increased its holdings by over 10,000 BTC last week and prepared $1.2 billion in reserves to hedge against potential risks. This attitude of continuing to buy at high levels and proactively doing risk buffering has given many people more confidence in the future market.

The sentiment on the futures side is also very obvious, with open interest rising to $129.9 billion, and over $300 million in shorts being liquidated in the past day, while long positions are under pressure. However, it should be noted that the current rise is more driven by "policy expectations" rather than a sudden change in fundamentals. If the Federal Reserve's outcome is not as optimistic as the market imagines, there could still be fluctuations in the short term. Overall, this wave is more like a sentiment uplift before policy rather than a complete trend reversal.

The market's reaction is often more honest than analysis, and the trend of XRP confirms this. Despite the ETF continuing to attract significant investment, institutions have expressed a long-term optimistic attitude with real money, yet the price still struggles to escape correction. This indicates that in the current environment, a single positive factor cannot offset the overall sentiment; the rapid and direct impact of Bitcoin's pullback, liquidity contraction, and the chain reaction of leveraged liquidations influences investor behavior more quickly. The market does not just look at "information"; it pays more attention to the "gravity of emotions".

The technical structure of XRP also reveals the direction of this gravity. The rebound is once again hindered at the descending trend line, and moving averages and trend indicators continue to suppress it. If the support level is lost, it may trigger the next round of inertia selling pressure. The bulls are not powerless; rather, they have yet to have the conditions to change the structure.

However, the continuous inflow of ETF funds reminds us that the story is not rotten to the core. Institutional buying is a slow variable; it doesn't create short-term peaks but can steadily support the medium to long-term bottom. Once market sentiment warms up, these seemingly insignificant long-term accumulations often become the precursor to a trend reversal.

Currently, XRP is more like it is at the intersection of "emotional lows and value accumulation". In the short term, caution is still needed while waiting for structural changes, but from a medium to long-term perspective, value is quietly being repriced. Real opportunities often sprout from chaos, but most people cannot see them when emotions are at their worst.

Solana DeFi Development Corp. recently invested $77 million to purchase 407,247 SOL at an average price of $188.98. This funding mainly comes from the company's recent equity earnings, and after the investment, it still holds over $40 million in cash reserves, with plans to continue increasing its holdings. This operation increased its holdings in #solana by 29%, consolidating its position in the ecosystem.

The newly acquired SOL will all be staked, bringing in about $63,000 in fixed daily income. At the same time, the company is also collaborating with exchanges to enhance validator operational efficiency. This means they are not only betting on price increases but are also generating stable cash flow through staking and infrastructure participation.

It is worth noting that in July, the company also completed a $1.225 billion convertible bond financing, resulting in a 10% increase in stock price. The dual enhancement of capital strength and market recognition has made its strategy in the crypto market more solid.

I believe this is not just an investment but a long-term strategic layout. The continuous increase in institutional holdings indicates that Solana has gradually entered core allocation and is no longer just an alternative to Ethereum. If the ecosystem continues to expand in the future, the combination of staking returns and asset appreciation may bring the company returns far exceeding expectations. This also gives us a revelation: true smart money often wins the maximum returns through long-term holding and deep participation in the ecosystem, rather than chasing short-term fluctuations.

On August 25, Arthur Hayes made a bold and insightful prediction that, driven by stable policies in the United States, this round of $BTC bull market may continue until 2028. Personally, I think his views are thought-provoking as he steps beyond mere market cycle analysis to reveal a deeper monetary game behind it. If the United States attempts to control the European dollar market through this emerging tool of $BTC , it is essentially a contest for future global financial dominance.

Honestly, this showcases the unstoppable trend of the integration of cryptocurrency technology and exposes the strategic intentions of traditional powers trying to incorporate it into the existing system. In this grand narrative, I have high hopes for DeFi platforms like Ethena and Hyperliquid; they are not just ordinary beneficiaries but are positioned at the gateway of a historic flow of liquidity due to their innovative product design and outstanding technical architecture. This is not just a technological revolution but a reshaping of the geopolitical economic landscape, and we are right in the midst of it.

When bottle-feeding short plays are all the rage, this drama can be said to provoke deep thoughts. May you and I be able to live our lives beautifully.

A whale that has been silent for many years, $ETH , has been captured on the chain again today, sparking heated discussions among us. This whale purchased 24,959 coins of $ETH through Kraken and ShapeShift nine years ago at a cost of about $258,000, when ETH was not yet widely recognized by the public. This investor demonstrated strong foresight and unwavering belief. After ten years of accumulation, he still holds 13,477 ETH, with a current total value of approximately $64.52 million.

What is even more noteworthy is that this whale deposited 1,400 ETH into Kraken, and he has already made over $102 million in profits from this investment. Such returns are a legendary case in the market, showcasing the power of time compounding and highlighting the value of long-term holding in investment.

In my view, this kind of story is both astonishing and enlightening. Most people may not be able to fully replicate the whale's actions, but the patience and long-termism within it are worth learning from. In a market filled with volatility and uncertainty, maintaining rationality, reasonably allocating funds, and sticking to one's investment strategy may be the true experience that ordinary people can draw from. After all, opportunities are always given to those who are visionary and willing to persevere.

From the current market perspective, the holding pattern of #etf shows a clear trend of centralization. Some data indicates that 69 major entities collectively hold over 4 million Ethereum, with a total value exceeding 17 billion dollars. Among them, a small number of mining pools and early technology-related addresses occupy the largest share, with a single account holding approximately 1.5 million pieces, calculated at the current price to be about 6.6 billion dollars. Next, the gambling account of Sharlpl Ink ranks second, holding over 740,000 pieces, with a total value of about 3.2 billion dollars. In addition, the Ethereum Foundation and the Digital Asset Treasury each control 231,600 pieces and 345,400 pieces, respectively.

One point we noticed is that the cumulative holdings of #etf in the United States have reached 6.7 million pieces, accounting for about 5.5% of the supply, and the layout trend of institutional investors is becoming increasingly evident. Personally, I feel that the long-term holding by large institutions and foundations can indeed enhance market confidence to some extent, but on the other hand, I am also concerned about the issue of excessive concentration. Once these large whales take large-scale actions, the market may be immediately impacted. I hope to see a more dispersed holding of Ethereum, so that the ecosystem will be healthier and fluctuations can be relatively mitigated. The future value of Ethereum is not just a digital game, but also a contest among technology, ecology, and capital power.

$ETH Price has increased by 5.05% in the past 24 hours, market sentiment is leaning towards optimism, showing a green area. This increase indicates a strengthening of short-term buying power, but investors still need to be wary of potential pullback risks. From the hourly chart, it is testing the support level around $2562, further probing the $2550 area. If this support level can hold effectively, it is expected to push the price up. If it breaks below, it could trigger a deeper adjustment.

From a medium to long-term perspective, the $2500-$2550 range is a key observation area, where sellers may increase selling pressure, limiting further price increases. Traders need to closely monitor the bullish and bearish contest in this range to assess the subsequent trend. In addition, the weekly level trends are also worth noting. Currently, ETH and other major assets have not formed strong breakthrough momentum. The market may maintain a consolidation pattern, and without new catalysts, sideways trading may become the main mode of operation in the short term. Quoting $2584, the market is still in a critical decision-making phase. Investors should remain cautious, combining technical analysis with market sentiment to flexibly adjust trading strategies to cope with potential volatility.

On August 14, the market showed a clear divergence, with $ETH ETH performing the best, having stabilized above $2700. The market generally expects it to break through the $3000 mark. As the leader in smart contract platforms, it has experienced explosive growth. Personally, I believe that as long as no black swan events occur, reaching $3500 this year is very likely. In contrast, $BTC has also seen a rebound, but its trend is noticeably hesitant, oscillating around $95000. As a long-term holder, I have observed that institutional funds continue to flow into BTC ETF, but it may take more time in the short term to digest profit-taking. This once-phenomenal asset is now facing a critical test; whether it can break through $0.000015 will determine its future direction. From my personal investment experience, such highly volatile assets are more suitable for short-term operations, and I advise ordinary investors to manage their positions well. Overall, the market is entering a new phase, with ETH showing a leading trend, BTC building momentum, while SHIB needs more substantial positive news to support its price.

Last night, the US market once again experienced a wave of capital outflow, with a net outflow of $1.966 billion from spot ETFs in one day, and a net outflow of $1.2173 billion from Bitcoin spot ETFs. On the surface, such a scale of capital withdrawal seems to release short-term pressure signals and has raised concerns among some investors about the future market.

However, if we extend the timeframe, we will find a completely different story. Since 2025, Ethereum has soared from $1,385 at the beginning of the year to $4,788, with a quarterly increase of over 245%. During this period, the institutional holding ratio has doubled from 3% to 8.3%, with corporate treasuries and ETFs continuously buying, injecting long-term liquidity and confidence into the market. In other words, the short-term capital outflow is more of a FOFO sentiment, while the long-term trend remains upward.

My personal view is that short-term fluctuations are inevitable, but they also present opportunities provided by the market. What really deserves attention is not how much capital flowed out last night, but who is taking the opportunity to enter the market. With the acceleration of institutional allocation, the underlying logic of the market has changed; in the past, speculation was driven by retail investors, but now institutions, corporate treasuries, and ETF products are reshaping the entire landscape. For ordinary investors like us, short-term volatility may signify panic, but for long-term investors, it often serves as a signal to increase positions.

In summary, don't be scared off by short-term noise; instead, focus on the long-term trends and changes in the capital landscape.

Former President Trump has recently been making frequent trade moves, including revoking tariff exemptions for Vietnam (covering copper, pharmaceuticals, and chips) and potentially imposing new tariffs on the European Union. This suggests a potential return of protectionism in his second term, adding further uncertainty to the global supply chain.

US stock market volatility has intensified, with mixed gains and losses. The cryptocurrency market has been surprisingly calm. $BTC held steady around $109,000, while Ether rose modestly by 2.8% to $2,612. This stability is unusual given the trade risks and volatility in US stocks, potentially reflecting a lack of market momentum in the crypto market itself, with investors awaiting macroeconomic or regulatory signals.

Asset management company TrueShares has applied for a multi-currency tracking ETF. If approved, this would broaden market access for compliant institutions and be of significant significance. Meanwhile, Robinhood's launch of blockchain-based "equity tokens" has sparked an SEC investigation, with the core controversy revolving around whether the company circumvented securities regulations. The latter highlights the sharp conflict between radical innovation and existing regulations, a typical example of the industry's "growing pains."

As geopolitical trade risks escalate and traditional markets come under pressure, the crypto market, while seemingly calm, is experiencing both challenges and opportunities brought about by its deep integration with traditional finance. How regulators set the tone and respond (e.g., regarding ETF approvals and the definition of hybrid products) will be key variables in shaping the future market landscape.

From now on, the DApp market is in a critical transformation period, and its dynamics reveal the deep logic of industry development. User behavior is shifting from early speculation and conceptual hype to a pursuit of actual utility and productivity. The strong rise of AI-driven applications is a clear testament; users are no longer satisfied with hype but are actively embracing functional tools that can genuinely enhance efficiency and solve real problems. The revival trajectory of the NFT market is particularly intriguing; although overall prices are under pressure, the active growth in trading volumes of RWA and gaming assets strongly suggests that the market is undergoing a value return, shifting from purely PEG collectibles to practical NFTs that have actual utility, can generate income, or represent real rights. This marks the beginning of the NFT field seeking a more sustainable development model that is more deeply rooted in real needs.

In the DeFi sector, the Total Value Locked (TVL) remains stable at a high of $200 billion, in stark contrast to a 50% drop in financing amounts. This indicates that although investment in the primary market is becoming cautious and even cooling down, the actual participation of users and capital has not significantly weakened; the user stickiness and fundamental demand of core protocols and leading projects remain solid. Beneath this apparent stability lies a huge crisis. The $6.3 billion hacking incident encountered in the second quarter of the Web3 sector serves as a wake-up call, ruthlessly exposing the industry's serious lag and negligence in building security infrastructure amid rapid expansion. These frequent security incidents not only result in huge asset losses but also continuously erode the trust foundation of the entire ecosystem, and its vulnerability has become the greatest bottleneck restricting the healthy development of the industry.

The development context of the DApp market is becoming increasingly clear, and the maturation of user behavior is driving the shift of the value center. The rise of AI and social DApps represents the potential of tool-based and relationship-based applications, while the shift of NFTs towards practical value reflects the evolutionary path of asset-based applications. The winning hand in the future market lies not only in capturing these emerging trends but also in systematically addressing foundational infrastructure challenges (especially in terms of security), building innovation on a reliable foundation. This is a critical moment where value return coexists with risks, and both opportunities and challenges are unprecedentedly distinct.

$ETH breaks through the 3000 mark, $BTC sets a new high, will the altcoin season come this time?
The cryptocurrency market has shown strong upward momentum during this period, with major assets like BTC and ETH reaching new highs, marking a phase of acceleration for the market. Meanwhile, the altcoin market, which had been quiet for a while, has also seen a significant recovery, with multiple cryptocurrencies recording double-digit gains, reflecting an overall increase in market activity. Investor sentiment has noticeably warmed up, and the Fear and Greed Index, which measures market sentiment, is currently in the greed zone.

The factors driving this round of growth are multifaceted. The easing of global trade tensions (such as reduced tariff impacts), major institutional investors continuously increasing their positions in the cryptocurrency space, and positive expectations regarding potential interest rate cuts by major economies have all contributed to injecting upward momentum into the market. Among these, ETH's performance has been particularly impressive, successfully breaking through the critical psychological barrier of 3000 USD, demonstrating strong rebound power. However, analysts also point out that it still faces certain profit-taking selling pressure above.

As market enthusiasm rises, the risks of derivative trading are also accumulating, with recent liquidation amounts increasing, primarily dominated by short positions, which suggests that investors need to maintain risk awareness even amid optimism. Regarding the future direction of the market, especially whether the altcoin season will reappear, there are differing opinions currently. One mainstream view is that while some altcoins may continue to rise with the market, most mid-cap altcoins are expected to struggle to outperform Bitcoin in this round of market activity, with market funds likely being more inclined to concentrate on leading assets.

BTC has recently strongly broken through $100,000 and reached a high of $117,000, far exceeding previous expectations. I believe that the core driving force behind this surge has shifted from retail sentiment to professional capital's deep positioning. Under the backdrop of a weak dollar and macroeconomic uncertainty, traditional institutions are entering the market in large volumes through tools such as ETFs, creating sustained buying pressure, with a scale even surpassing gold trusts. This marks a partial acceptance of Bitcoin as 'digital gold' in the mainstream financial system as a safe-haven narrative.

Its underlying technical characteristics of decentralization, peer-to-peer transmission, and scarcity remain the foundation of its value. However, the key breakthrough that truly enhances its application prospects lies in second-layer solutions like the Lightning Network. This protocol effectively addresses the bottleneck of slow transaction speeds and high fees for Bitcoin, making small instant payments possible. This is a crucial step in Bitcoin's evolution from a store of value to a practical currency, although widespread adoption still requires time.

A paradoxical phenomenon worth noting is that while prices continually hit new highs, the public's search interest has not surged in parallel. This clearly confirms the institutional dominance characteristic of the current market. Retail investors remain relatively calm, and the market structure is maturing. In the long run, the support at $BTC is gradually distancing itself from short-term speculation and increasingly relying on technological iteration (such as privacy enhancements), clearer regulatory frameworks, and its steadily solidifying role as a store of value in major asset allocations. Its identity is transforming from a speculative target to a stable digital asset.
#bitcoin #BTC #ETF

$BTC made a strong breakthrough of $120,000, setting a new historical high, mainly driven by institutional funds continuously flowing in through spot #ETF (with daily inflow reaching $1.18 billion) and favorable U.S. policy. The market sentiment is strongly bullish, with a short-term target of $125,000 and a long-term challenge in the $140,000-$160,000 range, but caution is needed against profit-taking at high levels and regulatory uncertainties.

Although XRP is approaching the $3 mark, the RSI indicator shows severe overbought conditions, indicating short-term overheating risks. Unless new policies like the "GENIUS Act" emerge to catalyze change, the probability of a technical pullback is high.

$SHIB has shown significant lag, currently being blocked at $0.0000145. Its potential to break through $0.000018 relies on two conditions: first, funds shifting from stabilized high positions of Bitcoin to low market cap tokens; second, a revival in the Meme coin sector's popularity. It is important to note that SHIB's high volatility and strong dependence on market sentiment make its risk much higher than mainstream coins, and investors should carefully assess their risk exposure.
