After spending long enough in the crypto world, you’ll notice a painfully consistent pattern:

Every time you feel like, "This time is different," the outcome is usually the same.

In 2021 you said, "This time the institutional bull market is different," and it still fell from 69,000 to 15,000.

In 2025 you said, "This time Trump’s taking office is different," and it still dropped from 120,000 to more than 50,000.

Whenever the market gets hot, there’s always a bunch of people who jump out to tell you about a "new paradigm," a "super cycle," and "this time it’s really different."

But the essence of crypto has never changed: when it rises too much, it falls; when it falls too much, it rises—cycles always keep looping.

The only thing that changes is the storyline.

Last round was the DeFi summer; this round is ETF and Trump-themed coins. Next round could be AI x Crypto or RWA. The story changes, the cast changes, but the script never does—pump the price first, then tell the story, and finally let retail investors get left holding the bag.

So if BTC drops a few percentage points today, there’s really no need to panic too much. And you don’t need to guess whether "the bull market has turned into a bear market" or whether there will be a violent rebound tomorrow. Nobody knows the answers to those questions.

What you should really ask yourself is: if it drops another 10% tomorrow, can you hold up? If it rises another 30% next month, do you still have chips (capital)?

In the end, what people compete on in crypto isn’t who can predict it best—it’s who can last the longest.

For friends who are down today, check in the comments—see that you’re not the only one taking the hit.

This morning I checked the market: BTC broke below 77,000, and liquidations across the whole network are almost 240 million yuan—about 80% of them are long positions. Then look at the ETF data: BlackRock’s IBIT bought another 1,400+ BTC, net inflow of over $100 million.

Prices are falling, while institutions are buying. Every time this kind of divergence shows up, the comments section splits into two camps:

One side says, “Institutions are coming in—quick, buy the dip.” The other side says, “Institutions are buying ETF shares, not pulling the spot price directly. Don’t get fooled.”

Both sides have points, but neither quite gets to the core.

What’s really worth thinking about is: why is the market dropping like this, yet institutions keep moving money in?

The answer may not be inside the crypto market, but outside it. Over the past few days, global bond markets have been selling off. U.S. Treasury yields have surged to 4.8%, and Japanese government bond yields hit their highest level in 96 years. The cost of capital for traditional finance is getting more expensive—the money is no longer cheap.

That sounds bearish—higher funding costs mean risk assets will face pressure. And yes, in the short term, it really is pressure. But think about it from another angle: when the operating costs of the traditional financial system keep rising, capital will look for places with lower friction and higher efficiency.

Why have stablecoins been so hot lately? Because 21 banks joined forces to launch their own stablecoin. It’s not because they suddenly believe in decentralization—it’s because they’ve realized that the cost of on-chain settlement is far cheaper than traditional clearing systems.

So the situation right now is rather delicate: short-term macro factors are weighing on prices, while long-term structural capital is positioning. What you see is the candlestick chart falling; what you can’t see is the underlying infrastructure changing.

As for what to do in the short term? Honestly, it’s normal for the 77,000 level to wobble up and down. Geopolitical conflicts plus rate-hike expectations are dual headwinds—of course it wouldn’t drop only a little. But if you think the bull market is over just because it’s down for two days, or if you want to go all-in to catch the dip because it’s dropping, that might be a bit too impatient.

The market is never black and white. It’s more like a balance scale being repriced: one side is macro pressure, the other is structural opportunity. Which side you stand on determines what you do next.

One last thing: for today’s行情, don’t place random orders. First figure out whether you’re making a short-term trade or building a long-term trend. If you mix the two, you’ll get hit from both ends.

Yesterday there was a piece of news that many people may not have paid much attention to: 21 international banks, including Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, and Wells Fargo, are reportedly planning to jointly set up a company to issue stablecoins.

Don’t think of this as “traditional finance coming in to ride the hype.” The weight of this is much greater than you might think.

In the past, the crypto world’s understanding of stablecoins was basically: “USDT dominates, USDC follows.” Competition was about whose on-chain liquidity was better and whose DeFi ecosystem was deeper. But once these 21 banks enter, the rules of the game change.

From now on, stablecoins won’t be competing on who launched first or who has more usage on-chain. Instead, whoever can integrate into the settlement layer of the global financial system will have the advantage.

Think about it: these banks control most of the world’s cross-border payments, trade settlement, and corporate finance. Their issued stablecoins can naturally plug into the existing financial system. Then when companies pay salaries, make cross-border remittances, and settle securities, they can just use stablecoins on-chain—often with efficiency several orders of magnitude higher than SWIFT, and at lower costs.

What does this mean for the crypto industry?

In the short term, native stablecoins like USDT and USDC will face pressure. How big can you get—can you possibly be bigger than 21 of the world’s top-tier banks?

In the long run, this is a tremendous positive. Because stablecoins are evolving from “something crypto people play with among themselves” into “part of the global financial infrastructure.” When traditional finance starts using on-chain settlement, BTC and ETH as “reserve assets” and “value anchors” on-chain will only become more and more entrenched.

Many people constantly hope for “institutions to come in.” In reality, institutions have already entered—just not in the way you imagine. It’s not about pumping BTC to rescue you; it’s about strengthening the industry’s foundation at the infrastructure level.

Once the foundation is laid, the building can rise higher. It’s just that this process will be much slower than you expect.
