#ETH巨鲸增持 Trump is stirring things up again, preparing to push for U.S. pension funds to invest in cryptocurrencies. It seems Trump really likes trading coins. This move aims to open up about $12.5 trillion of the retirement market for private equity, cryptocurrencies, and other industries. What does $12.5 trillion mean? Bitcoin's current market cap is $2.3 trillion, so it looks like Bitcoin is really heading for the stars.
However, after the news broke, the biggest rise was in ETH, while BTC only saw a slight increase. It seems that ETH is now the market and institutional favorite, and we are about to welcome five-digit ETH prices in this round.

#香港稳定币新规 Is USDC/USDT banned in Hong Kong?
The topic of stablecoins in Hong Kong is quite popular. According to the stablecoin regulations, there are three situations under which they fall under supervision:
1. Issued in Hong Kong;
2. Pegged to the Hong Kong Dollar;
3. Backing clause (requires compliance with legal procedures)
My view is that under the current framework, USDC/USDT is indeed not banned in Hong Kong. However, in the near future, whether through the introduction of OTC legislation or the use of the backing clause in the stablecoin regulations, Hong Kong will definitely bring USDC/USDT into the regulatory framework, leaving no loopholes.

Let's calculate the difference in earnings from different ways to receive Alpha on Binance:
The score for each cycle is calculated based on the mainstream formula (4+15)*15=285 points.
Currently, Alpha mainly has two modes, with a loss of 15 points each time:
1. First come, first served, with a threshold of 200 points. Most earnings are around $30-40 each time. You can grab a maximum of 6 times per cycle and 12 times a month. Based on an average of $35, the total earnings would be $420.
2. Distributed in two stages. The first stage has a higher threshold, with an average earning of about $100. The threshold is calculated at 240 points. You can receive 3-4 per week, totaling 6 per month, resulting in total earnings of $600, and importantly, there is no need to grab.
Calculating this way, clearly receiving only the first stage is a significant win, even if there are only 4-5 of the first stage each month, it’s still profitable.
Here’s the question: if you complete the first stage while also grabbing one or two from the first come, first served, would that maximize efficiency for each cycle? I think not, as grabbing the low-scoring ones will affect the recovery speed of the total score, potentially missing out on the high-earning first stage, ultimately leading to losses.
