ETF funds returning—an institutional uptrend may just be starting
big money is quietly moving in this isn’t a illusion in the first half of the year it fell all the way from 90,000 USD to below 60,000 USD most people feel the bear market hasn’t ended yet but after July, the market’s momentum clearly changed the Fed tone turns dovish employment data came in below expectations ETF funds flow back in again Bitcoin rebounds nearly ten percent week-over-week At the same time, Trump begins discussing incorporating crypto assets into the state-level account system several large banks are testing blockchain payments the ecosystem is also preparing for a new round of upgrades and restructuring all these moves are not something ordinary retail investors can drive what’s reflected behind this is that institutional capital is re-evaluating the long-term value of crypto assets
Input Output Global (IOG), a heavyweight creation designed for compliance and practicality, is also a privacy public chain and an official partner chain of Cardano
It does not pursue “complete anonymity,” but achieves the industry-rare selective disclosure using zero-knowledge proofs (ZK):
You can prove “I meet the conditions” accurately without exposing assets, identity, or transaction details, balancing privacy and compliance, perfectly adapting to real financial, corporate, and personal scenarios
The network uses the innovative dual model of $NIGHT + DUST:
NIGHT is responsible for value capture, governance, and staking; DUST supports on-chain operations as a privacy computing resource, completely decoupling public circulation from privacy computing, ensuring both stability and sustainability.
As the native privacy expansion layer of the Cardano ecosystem
Midnight truly addresses the long-term pain points of Web3: transparency ≠ exposure, verifiable ≠ without privacy. It allows blockchain to retain the core values of trustlessness and verifiability while for the first time having controllable, compliant, and applicable privacy capabilities.
Next, I will continue to deeply analyze the technology, economic model, and ecological progress of Midnight. Feel free to discuss and exchange ideas.
I remember I entered the cryptocurrency world at the end of 2024 - the beginning of 2025.
At first, I went in out of curiosity.
At that time, I downloaded a mining software called BOME on Xiaohongshu that was named after pulling in referrals.
It started with the banner of no investment required; initially, it was about upgrading through referrals, and later you could top up with USDT to upgrade. This kind of model is quite common now.
However, it surprisingly ran away later.
At that time, I was scammed out of about 1000 USDT, and later I heard that the scam team didn't last long before they also went in for a meal.
After that, in order to recover my losses, I took out a loan to invest in contracts and pump meme coins. At first, I made a small profit, but later my mindset faltered, and I ended up losing more than I earned!
Later, many messages in the cryptocurrency world were on Twitter, so I went to Twitter and followed some KOLs to pump some meme coins. I also went through the 714 Mubarak incident during that time but couldn't hold on.
Of course, I also invested in worthless coins and bought some Pi Xiu, incurring quite a few losses.
However, every time I bought using my Binance wallet, I only bought 4 USDT worth of female Buhas, maybe Binance Wallet brought me good luck, haha.
At that time, I thought I had already gone to zero, but unexpectedly, it turned into over 100, but unfortunately, I bought too little at that time.
In the meantime, I also had a mix of losses and gains, and later, as I couldn't continue adding more funds and had some debt, I started to rely on mouth trading.
However, mouth trading is extremely unstable, so I had to leave it to fate! Zen-like mouth trading.
There was a time when I got tired of mouth trading, and just then it coincided with the National Day holiday. I had a dream at that time, dreaming that I would turn things around this time!
On the night of October 4th, Teacher Xiao Er posted a tweet, and I didn't jump in immediately!
I saw it was a Chinese meme, also called Binance Life, and felt a bit discouraged. I didn't expect that the next morning CZ mentioned it, and it took off!
I also chased in the second wave and ended up selling at what could be considered the peak! I broke even and even made a bit of profit!
Now that I think about it, Binance really brought me good luck!

$WCT has come to life! It secretly fixes toll booths on your phone
Plot Summary👇 Once upon a time, there was a protocol that neither minted coins nor made grand promises, but squatted between all DApps and wallets—every time humans "scan codes to date" (wallet ❤️ DApp)
It would jump out and shout: "This bridge is built by me, this code is drawn by me! Dating? First pay $WCT for toll fees!"
Episode 1: 【The Ambition of the Protocol】 From "Corporate Slave" to "Landlord" Character Setting:
Working Period: Born in 2018, working tirelessly as a "operator" for Metamask and Trust Wallet (for free!)
Awakening Day: In 2025, it issued coin $WCT , suddenly turned dark: “I want to collect rent!” 💸
Three Ways to Collect Rent: 1. Scanning the toll fee: In the future, every time Uniswap connects a wallet, it might charge 0.001 dollars (money goes into the holder's pocket)
2. High-interest loans: Deposit 10,000 WCT, and get 8,000 for free in a year! Netizens exclaimed: This is even wilder than loan sharking!
3. Certification protection fee: Issue a "safety green label" to the wallet (like stamping pork), charge 500 WCT for each stamp!
In the Web3 world, your wallet (asset manager) and DApp (DeFi, NFT, etc.) are like two mountain peaks⛰️, making direct communication very difficult!
@WalletConnect is the superhero that bridges the gap! How to use it?
1. Open DApp on your computer and display the QR code 2. Use your mobile wallet app to scan the code 3. The bridge is established! 🎉 Safe connection! Transaction confirmation is completed in the wallet, without ever touching your private key!
Benefits galore: Safety first! Assets are locked in the wallet. Super convenient! Say goodbye to copy and paste, scanning gets it done. Super compatible! Mainstream wallets and DApps all support it, the 'highway' of Web3 🛣️
So what is $WCT ? It is the 'bridge management token' of @WalletConnect :
Voting rights: Decide the future of the protocol 🗳️ Earn rewards: Stake $WCT to earn more $WCT 💰 Future use: Possibly for paying for premium features/incentivizing the ecosystem
In summary: @WalletConnect = An essential connecting bridge, safe and convenient! $WCT = The ‘key’ to managing the bridge + earning rewards!
There is a fake cryptocurrency "Pixiu Coin" fraud gang in Telegram and QQ groups 600484474, 529545244, 943198885 1035386762! 1. Fraud method: The gang mainly creates groups on Telegram to promote a fake cryptocurrency project called "Pixiu Coin". 2. False propaganda and manipulation: They mislead inexperienced novices ("Xiaobai") to buy this fake coin through exaggerated propaganda. They artificially manipulate the price of the coin to create the illusion that the price of the coin will only rise and not fall in the short term. 3. Harvest and run away: When the price of the coin is pulled high enough, the gang ("Sickle") will suddenly sell it, causing the price of the coin to plummet and sweep away all investors' funds. 4. Community control and brainwashing: They have a matching QQ group (usually in a muted state, only gang members are allowed to speak). The so-called "administrators" in the group are all their own people. They use the 24-hour uninterrupted Tencent meeting 3104328079 to brainwash the victims, instill false information, and induce investment. 5. Habitual offender nature: This is not the first time! The gang has used the same method (pulling groups, promoting counterfeit currency, manipulating prices, and running away with money) to commit fraud many times. 6. Core violation points: This is a typical "capital plate" scam and "pig killing plate", involving false propaganda, price manipulation, and financial fraud. #诈骗套路 #貔貅币 #币安 #防诈骗技巧
A plate called Tian Ao, through the Telegram software, gathering people and making a big fuss about AVE on Telegram's landscape. This group is running a speculative scheme; this type of coin has been discovered many times on the BSC chain and is also called Pi Xiu coin. They mislead novices into buying their coin through exaggerated promotion. Anyway, this coin keeps rising for a few days. Once it rises to a certain multiple, these groups, like scythes, will immediately drain the pool and take away your funds. Moreover, these people have some peculiarities; after cutting you off, they even ask if you want to be their apprentice and have a whole set of corporate culture.
They even have their own QQ group, although it is in mute mode. This group of people has repeatedly set up such schemes to scam novices, brainwashing them through 24-hour Tencent meetings every day, claiming various benefits. #骗子 #防亏预警 #币安 #BSC
