Ansem: Strong altcoins during the bull market will keep emerging—keep looking for opportunities to generate excess returns
ChainCatcher message: Encrypted trader Ansem posted that constantly monitoring the market and using 15-minute candlesticks to judge price trends can easily lead to overtrading. Investors should manage spot, perpetual futures, and high-risk on-chain trading accounts separately, and should not try to catch every local top and bottom, as this may harm long-term investment returns. Instead of trading frequently, it may be better to study historical bull markets and observe how long an upward trend can typically last. The upcycle for altcoins is usually faster, often allowing them to outperform the market for about 4 to 6 months. After that, new market leaders will emerge—especially after growth in market cap of more than 10x. However, there may be a few exceptions in this cycle: some altcoins may see their prices rise alongside significant growth in revenue, meaning their fundamentals could improve in tandem.

ChainCatcher Message, according to a report by The New York Times, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao recalled that one day at the beginning of this year, he was lying in bed handling work—after years of struggling with chronic pain, he often worked while lying down—when the window suddenly began to vibrate. He got up, walked to the balcony, and saw a trail of smoke in the sky.
Zhao lives on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, an area separated from Iran across the Persian Gulf; and not long before that, Iran had launched a missile at the UAE.
The attack marked the beginning of a geopolitical crisis that threw the region’s situation into turmoil, but Zhao did not appear overly concerned. He returned to bed and continued working. “People who die in traffic accidents are more than those who die from missiles,” he later said. “Security here is very good.”
ChainCatcher message, regarding the cross-chain exchange service Near Intents: the $3.8 million that had been stolen in the earlier vulnerability attack has been fully reimbursed, and the team has stopped investigating.

In an on-chain post, the attacker admitted wrongdoing, said they had repaid all the funds, and urged others to report issues through the bug bounty program. The incident stemmed from a vulnerability in the attacker’s Omni top-up and withdrawal layer and its interaction with the main smart contract. Near Intents had paused service and promised full compensation to users.
