The secret you were never told about the crypto market by crypto analyst, millionaires, billionaire will be revealed here . Don't miss out for any reason
2025 was about proving Aster can ship: we merged Astherus & ApolloX, launched multi-asset margin, released our mobile app, completed TGE, listed on major CEXs, and introduced features like Hedge Mode, Trade & Earn, and our buyback program, and more.
Now we're doubling down on three foundational engines—Infrastructure, Token Utility, and Ecosystem & Community—each reinforcing the others in continuous cycle:
🔹 Early Dec 2025: Shield Mode for private high-leverage trading + TWAP strategy orders 🔹 Mid Dec 2025: RWA upgrade with deeper, broader stock perpetual markets 🔹 End Dec 2025: Aster Chain testnet opens for community testing 🔸 Q1 2026: Aster Chain L1 launch, Aster Code for builders, fiat on/off-ramp 🔸 Q2 2026: $ASTER staking, on-chain governance, smart-money tools to follow top traders
We're not building another trading venue. We're building a network that grows with its users. Thank you for being part of this journey. #BTCVSGOLD #asterix $ASTER

In 2025, it quietly split into two completely separate games. Different rules. Different players. Different winners.
And almost no one noticed.
GAME ONE: INSTITUTIONAL CRYPTO
Bitcoin. Ethereum. ETF assets. Quarterly cycles. Pension funds and advisors setting prices. Volatility crushed from 84% to 43%. Time horizon: months.
GAME TWO: ATTENTION CRYPTO
37 million tokens. 36,000 new ones launching daily. 98.6% collapse below $1,000 liquidity. 75% dead within 24 hours. Survival rate: 1.4%. Time horizon: hours.
Here is what should terrify you:
Major altcoin/BTC ratios have returned to December 2020 levels.
Five years of building. Partnerships. Ecosystems. Narratives.
Zero progress against Bitcoin.
The transparency paradox destroyed everything. When every wallet, every transaction, every accumulation is visible instantly, information edge vanishes. Only speed remains. Milliseconds, not conviction. Algorithms, not analysis.
Capital no longer rotates from Bitcoin to alts.
It flows directly to whichever game the mandate specifies.
Traditional altseason probability: 10 to 15 percent.
Not because speculation died.
Because the unified market that altseason required has been structurally dismantled.
Your only choices now:
Play Institutional Crypto with patience and macro awareness.
Or play Attention Crypto with speed and infrastructure.
The middle ground, holding altcoins on thesis for months, is now the worst possible strategy.
You are not early to altseason.
You are waiting for a market structure that no longer exists.
I think the best way to protect your mental state in crypto is to not care if we’re in a bull market or a bear market and instead just focus on extracting what you can from the market on a weekly basis and compounding that slowly over time.
And then have a multi-decade long term plan for $BTC and keep stacking as if it’s your savings account.
IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS JPMORGAN, BLACKROCK, VANGUARD, CHARLES SCHWAB HAVE ALL CHANGED THEIR STANCE ON BITCOIN
•JPMorgan sold off a large portion of its $MSTR shares last quarter and repeatedly criticized Bitcoin. Now, they are offering a Bitcoin-backed bond.
•Vanguard previously stated they would never allow their platform to trade Bitcoin ETFs this week, they announced rolled out Bitcoin ETF trading
•BlackRock’s CEO once called Bitcoin and crypto “money-laundering land” in 2017; today, he said he was wrong and noted a major shift in his position.
•Charles Schwab dismissed crypto as “purely speculative.” In 2019. Today, they’ve announced they will allow Bitcoin trading on their platform starting in 2026.
Why the SUDDEN CHANGE?? 🤔
In 2017, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said bitcoin is a ‘fraud’, then JPMorgan bought bitcoin when it dropped over 20% that weekend
Now, JPMorgan sells shares of $MSTR, increases margin req. from 50-95%, pushes for Strategy’s exclusion from the MSCI index, has a history of manipulating BTC price, calls for lower price, waits for -35% drawdown and announces a Bitcoin backed bond
Looks like they all wanted Bitcoin price lower to scoop up more shares before another Bitcoin Bull run 📈🐂
Regardless this is very GOOD news for Bitcoin & Bitcoin Holders.
THE 4-YEAR CYCLE WAS A LIE! THE REAL BULL MARKET ONLY STARTS NOW!
Even though the Bitcoin top happened exactly at the end of the “4-year cycle”, the data shows it was a lie and that there was another driver that coincidentally lined up at exactly the same time!
The uncomfortable truth in the data is that the halving didn’t drive the last 3 bull markets. It only lined up perfectly with the real driver: global liquidity expansion.
See the chart below.
2013: Fed QE 2017: ECB, BOJ & China pumping 2020: The biggest QE in history Bitcoin followed liquidity, not the halving clock.
Every time there was a global liquidity surge, the economy expanded, and this flowed into crypto!
The one metric that exposes this clearly: PMI. PMI < 50 = contraction PMI > 50 = recovery PMI > 55 = Bitcoin liftoff PMI > 60 = altcoin mania
That sequence matched every bull market.
The reason this cycle was so disappointing is that this cycle broke the pattern. The halving happened… Liquidity didn’t. PMI never recovered. The Fed was still draining money through QT.
That’s why 2025 was messy; the liquidity cycle never started.
But, this is all changing!
QT ended Rates going down Liquidity turning PMI bottoming Institutions flowing in via ETFs + DATS
And historically, we’ve never entered a bear market while liquidity is expanding.
So maybe the 4-year cycle didn’t “break.” Maybe it never existed to begin with; it just happened to overlap with the liquidity cycle.
It wasn’t the war on COVID, it was the war on currency. COVID lockdown takes place and there is a massive panic. But then the most perverse thing imaginable happens: by the summer, the stock markets have recovered because the Federal Reserve is printing money.
We had hyperinflation in financial assets. Small and medium-sized businesses and workers were destroyed by restrictive policies that shut down stores and workplaces, while investors and Wall Street fatcats were doing very well. I’m watching the world burn while all the Wall Street guys get rich.
My company had $500 million in cash reserves, but interest rates were near zero, so that cash didn't earn a yield—it was just eroding. I considered real estate, stock portfolios, even collectible art, but the first two had skyrocketed.
How do I find $500 million worth of Picassos and Monets attractively priced? I need a liquid fungible asset which will store my economic energy for an indefinite period of time.
