Crypto Rontok, Trump Family Still Profiting Rp23 Trillion
Amid a pressured crypto market and waves of liquidation hitting retail traders, the family of U.S. President Donald Trump has recorded a significant increase in wealth. Its value is said to reach around US$1.4 billion or equivalent to Rp23.5 trillion.
While many investors are facing losses and billions of dollars are leaving crypto ETFs, the crypto business owned by the Trump family is showing the opposite results. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the family's wealth has surged since Trump took office as President again, even surpassing contributions from his real estate business.
One of the main contributors comes from the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project. In the 16 months since its launch, this entity is reported to have generated at least US$1.2 billion in cash for the Trump family. From the WLFI token sale scheme, about 75% of the proceeds flow to entities affiliated with Trump, while the rest is distributed to the company's internal ranks.
This phenomenon highlights the sharp contrast between the sluggish crypto market conditions and the significant opportunities still available to players with the right business structure and positioning.

JPMorgan More Bullish 2026: BTC Approaching Equilibrium Point, Regulation Becomes Catalyst
JPMorgan has expressed a more optimistic view of the crypto market for 2026. The global investment bank assesses that the flow of institutional funds and the increasingly clear direction of regulation are the main foundations for the potential recovery of digital assets.
JPMorgan analyst, Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, highlights that Bitcoin, which had dropped below the estimated production cost of around $77,000, is now starting to approach a new equilibrium point. The previous price pressure triggered a capitulation phase among high-cost miners, which has historically often been part of the natural market adjustment process.
As some miners exit the network, new supply tends to decrease, and the market enters a healthier consolidation phase in the medium to long term. JPMorgan also sees regulatory developments in the US becoming increasingly constructive, especially with discussions on legislation like the Clarity Act, which has the potential to provide stronger legal certainty for large investors.
If institutional flows continue to increase and regulations mature, 2026 could become the next important phase for the crypto cycle.

Binance All-In to Bitcoin: SAFU Fund of $1 Billion Now Fully in BTC
Binance has officially converted the entire Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) amounting to approximately $1 billion into Bitcoin. This move was concluded with the latest purchase of 4,545 BTC, bringing the total SAFU reserves to 15,000 BTC with an estimated value of around $1.005 billion.
The SAFU fund itself was established after the hacking incident in 2019 that caused losses of around $40 million. Now, all of these reserves are stored in BTC and can be transparently verified through a public wallet address.
The accumulation process was conducted in stages, including the purchase of 4,225 BTC three days prior and 3,600 BTC a week ago. The last transfer was recorded on the blockchain on February 11 at 22:57 UTC. Binance also stated it would perform rebalancing if the fund value drops below $800 million.
This decision was made amid the correction of Bitcoin prices from $77,000 to $67,000, indicating Binance's commitment to user protection while also strengthening long-term exposure to BTC.

Bitcoin Enters the 4-Year Cycle Correction Phase? This is What is Happening
Significant selling pressure in the Bitcoin market has reignited the debate over the validity of the 4-year cycle. Many analysts believe that the halving-based pattern remains the primary framework for reading BTC's long-term trends.
Historically, Bitcoin's movements tend to repeat: accumulation phase, post-halving rally, price euphoria, distribution, followed by correction and long consolidation before the next cycle begins. This pattern has appeared in several previous periods with similar characteristics.
However, the current conditions are not identical to the past. The presence of institutional ETFs, large fund flows, global interest rate policies, and cross-border regulations could accelerate or slow down each phase of the cycle.
The current sell-off raises an important question: is this a distribution phase leading to a deeper correction, or just a healthy retracement in a larger trend?

Sometimes green, sometimes red. But what happens most often? Losing social life 😩
Trading goes on, but life feels like always on standby chart.
Bitcoin fell 1.14% in 24 hours, stuck at strong resistance at $70K. The market is still mixed signals: real macro pressure, but institutional and whale accumulation continues.
Key Overview
Macro factors & resistance at $70K limit upside.
Technical indicators show bearish pressure, liquidation is still occurring.
Institutions and whales continue to add positions, providing long-term support.
Positive Side
Institution Adoption: Danske Bank & Standard Chartered expand BTC ETP; BlackRock predicts Asia fund flows up to $2T.
Whale Accumulation: More than 100 large wallets (1,000–10,000 BTC) bought during the correction, signaling quiet buying interest.
Reversal Signals: 1-hour MACD bullish crossover → MACD line moves above the signal line, providing short-term rebound opportunities.
Risks Still Present
Key resistance at $70K reinforced by strong USD → limits rally.
Technical structure remains bearish: price below medium & long EMAs, recent liquidation of long positions worth $127 million.
Potential deeper correction: some analyses target $35K–$50K, consistent with distribution patterns and historical cycles.
Community Sentiment
Bearish dominance: discussions focus on selling pressure, significant liquidations, and challenges to break through $70K.
A small minority see this as strategic accumulation, but the majority remain cautious.
➡️ Conclusion: short-term still vulnerable, but institutional & whale accumulation maintains the foundation. Focus on risk management, don't get carried away by emotions.
The more often you stare at the chart, the more you feel like clicking. The longer you watch the market, the more "setups" suddenly appear to seem valid.
In fact, you were fine before.
Why is that… The more you focus on the market, the harder it is to profit?
Is it because the market is changing? Or because our emotions get triggered?
What if it's not a lack of analysis… but too much observation leading to overthinking and overtrading? 👀
NFP Tonight Could Trigger BTC Rebound? Labor Market Starting to Crack
The release of NFP and the unemployment rate on Wednesday, February 11 at 20:30 WIB is much more important than usual. We are in a transitional phase: inflation has decreased, the labor market is starting to weaken, and the Fed seems to be looking for justification to accelerate easing.
Last month, NFP only increased by 50K, with revisions from the previous two months showing a total decrease of 76K. Unemployment fell to 4.4% not because job creation was strong, but because the labor force shrank with 46K more people stopping their job search. Jobless claims rose to 231K, continuing claims also increased, the retail sector lost 25K jobs, and PMI employment remains weak. Additionally, there is potential for a BLS benchmark revision that could cut about 900K jobs for 2025.
If pieced together as one story, the labor market has actually been cooling for a long time. A consensus of 70K seems quite optimistic. A more realistic scenario could be around 45K with unemployment rising back to 4.5% and wage growth remaining at 0.3%.
This is not recession data, but it is clearly not a solid labor market. If NFP comes in below consensus and unemployment rises, the market could interpret this as a signal for accelerated rate cuts, which could act as a catalyst for a Bitcoin rebound.
And don’t forget, in two days there’s CPI. Volatility is far from over.

Goldman Sachs Holds $2.36 Billion Crypto ETF, Institutions Becoming More Serious About Entering the Market
Goldman Sachs officially reported a crypto ETF holding worth $2.36 billion in its 13F filing for Q4 2025 submitted on February 10, 2026. The portfolio consists of approximately $1.1 billion in Bitcoin ETF, $1 billion in Ethereum, $153 million in XRP, and $108 million in Solana, equivalent to about 0.33% of their total AUM of $800 billion.
Interestingly, this value increased by about 15% compared to the previous quarter. This rise occurred amidst market volatility and a wave of new crypto ETF launches, indicating that the giant investment bank is actually increasing its exposure during unstable conditions.
Goldman's move underscores one thing: crypto is becoming more integrated into the mainstream institutional asset allocation strategy. For the market, this is not just a number; it signals that big players are no longer on the sidelines.

AI Outperforming Bitcoin, Risk Off Signals Getting Stronger? Here's a Summary of Its Importance
In the latest live session of Real Vision, the main highlight focuses on the shift in capital flows: AI stocks are currently outperforming Bitcoin. Large funds appear to prefer the AI sector over crypto, indicating a rather aggressive capital rotation.
Macroscopically, there is actually a fresh breeze: M2 is increasing and DXY is weakening, a combination that usually supports risk assets. However, in the crypto market, almost all coins are still below the bull market support band against USD, indicating that the downward trend is not yet over. Some altcoins are indeed outperforming against BTC, but they continue to weaken against the dollar, a classic trap of the illusion of "alt season."
From a technical perspective, BTC shows potential local bottom signals with RSI as low as during the COVID era. Nevertheless, the market breadth remains poor, and the majority of top coins are still in a downtrend. Four risk framework indicators (DeMark, MegaTrend, A-Tradies, Trading Alpha) on the weekly timeframe are also still red, indicating that the risk-off phase has not truly ended.
Recommended hedge strategy: exposure to gold through PAXG as well as AI stocks or the metals sector to reduce portfolio volatility.
