The Dow rose 0.67% this week, closing at 52,002; growth stocks fell 5.49% over the same period. The gap between them was 6.2 percentage points—the widest since July 2002.

This isn’t a crash; it’s a shift in seating. The money hasn’t left the market—it’s just moved from “story stocks” to companies with cash flow. What’s really worth noting is small caps: the Russell 2000 fell 3.05% over the same period, suggesting investors are picking only the safest names, rather than broadly fleeing risk.

The fear gauge tells a similar story: the VIX closed at 19.99, up 31% for the week. Sentiment is tightening, but we haven’t reached panic-selling levels.

I think the takeaway for crypto stings a little: BTC was basically flat around 81,500 this week. It wasn’t embraced as a safe haven, nor dumped like a tech stock. Right now, it’s in a “nobody cares” position—when money rotates within U.S. stocks, it doesn’t get any marginal buying.

Which side are you on: is this a healthy rotation midway through a bull market, or the first stage of an AI bubble bursting?

It first hit 0.762, setting a new high for 2026, then fell back to 0.668 just a few hours later—wiping out the entire day’s gains.

I talked this morning about the two forces behind this move: the launch of the Eden testnet and a record $2.2 million in net spot inflows. Now add one more figure: $258 million in 24-hour trading volume, several times the usual amount. The volume is real, but the price can’t hold—that suggests tokens are changing hands, not being locked up.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
I’ve seen this pattern many times: a narrative sparks the move, leverage piles on, then spot holders distribute—the whole cycle in three steps. The real question isn’t today’s high; it’s whether the price can stay above 0.65 over the next three days. If it holds, that would mean new money is treating it as a position. If it doesn’t, this will be another case of an “AI narrative in disguise.”

My view is cautious: on-chain revenue hasn’t kept pace with the price. This rally is driven by expectations, not usage.

Which side are you on: brave enough to catch this knife on the pullback, or waiting for it to break below 0.6 before weighing in?
#celestia涨16%创2026年新高

In Buenos Aires, one stablecoin costs 1,600 pesos. The official rate is 1,535; the black-market rate is 1,555. That extra bit is called the “cost of escape.”

Put the three rates side by side, and the story is crystal clear: you can’t buy at the official rate, the black market means going out and standing in line, while USDT lands in your wallet with a single tap. Paying 3% to 4% more buys you the certainty that your savings “won’t be devalued overnight.” In a country with triple-digit annual inflation, that insurance premium is a bargain.

So it’s no surprise that global stablecoin payments grew 45% in a year. The real growth isn’t on Wall Street trading floors; it’s on phones in Lagos, Istanbul, and Buenos Aires. The same tool, two different lives: Americans are debating whether stablecoins should pay interest, while Argentinians are using them to protect a month’s wages.

My view is that the strongest demand for stablecoins has never been for “faster payments”—it’s for “safer savings.” That demand won’t disappear whether the Fed raises or cuts rates.

Which side are you on: Is USDT in Argentina financial infrastructure, or a tool for capital flight?
#阿根廷usdt价格突破1600比索

The Nasdaq 100 fell 5.49% this week, closing at 29,187 points—its worst week in 18 months. But the real damage was in AI: Nvidia fell 6.6% for the week, and CoreWeave dropped 25.2%.

Tom Lee said yesterday that crypto and chip stocks had both pulled back to support levels, and that a rally was “ready to take off.” I’m not so sure. Support levels only hold when liquidity isn’t a problem, and right now the problem is precisely the denominator: PPI is up 6.3% year over year, Brent crude is above $110, and interest-rate expectations are being pushed back. This isn’t a pullback caused by improving earnings; it’s a repricing of the discount rate.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
Crypto, by contrast, seems to be holding up: BTC is still hovering around 81,500, down much less than the Nasdaq. But don’t rush to call it “decoupling”—last time, it didn’t catch down until after stocks had fallen for three days.

My take: this week marks the first genuine valuation reset of 2026, not an ordinary pullback. For a real bottom, oil prices and inflation expectations need to stabilize first—not just hold at some particular level.

Which side are you on: do you believe Tom Lee’s claim that a rebound from support is “ready to take off,” or do you think this is the first crack in the AI bubble?
#纳指100本周跌5.5%创18个月最大周跌幅

It fell 11.35% in a single day—nearly 19 times the decline in its major underlying asset that day. That divergence is more worth watching than the drop itself.

Strategy closed at $136.83, down from $154.34—not because the coin price fell, but because the “premium” itself did. The trigger was discussion of a new MSCI rule: treating digital-asset treasury companies like funds. If they’re dropped from an index, passive funds would have to sell mechanically, with no room for negotiation.

At the same time, Strive priced its preferred-stock IPO at $90 per share and increased the offering to 7 million shares. On one side, rules are putting the brakes on the valuation flywheel for established players; on the other, new players are rushing in to raise capital.

My view is straightforward: the benchmark for these companies is shifting from “coins per share × premium” to “discount to net asset value.” Next, we’ll see companies with mNAV below 1 stop issuing shares to buy coins, as the flywheel starts turning in reverse. That’s not a coin-price problem; it’s a business-model problem.

Which side are you on: is this the endgame for the Bitcoin treasury model, or a fresh start after another deep shakeout?

CrossRiver has integrated RLUSD into its core banking platform. In other words, institutions that bank with CrossRiver can now hold and settle Ripple’s stablecoin directly on their ledgers, without having to build their own crypto rails.

There was another major development the same day: DTCC is preparing to advance the tokenization of 25 securities on Canton and Besu. One is on the deposits side, the other on the securities side—both are moving onto the blockchain at the same time.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
Looking at these two developments together, I’ve reached a conclusion that runs counter to the mainstream view: crypto isn’t replacing banks; banks are turning blockchains into their new rails. The real battleground for stablecoins has never been exchanges—it’s core ledgers. Whoever gets into the core system is the one who gets access to real settlement volume.

That’s also why I rate “bank-backed stablecoins” like RLUSD so highly: they don’t rely on offshore demand; they rely on whether banks are willing to write them into their systems. CrossRiver has now done so. The next question is how many others will follow.

Which side are you on: will bank-backed stablecoins eat into USDT’s offshore market share, or will they always be just an internal settlement tool for institutions?
#crossriver银行核心平台接入rlusd稳定币

U.S. PPI surged to 6.3% year over year. Inflation hasn’t died down at the production stage—instead, it’s accelerating again here.

Producer prices are upstream of consumer prices. A rise this sharp means it’ll be hard for CPI to come down smoothly over the next few months. More troubling, oil prices just hit $110 today. Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are pushing up shipping, energy, and chemical costs, piling on even more pressure.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
But the market is pricing in a completely different story: the odds of a rate hike in October are just 17%, while the 10-year Treasury yield is 5.12%. Upstream inflation is reigniting on one side, while interest-rate expectations are confidently saying “it’s all fine” on the other. Sooner or later, one of these two will have to give.

Crypto is caught in the middle and taking the hardest hit. BTC is back around $81,500. Yesterday, spot BTC ETFs saw net outflows of $82.38 million, while ETH ETFs saw net outflows of $69.68 million. With real interest rates high and capital pulling out, valuations can only be pushed lower.

My take: if that 6.3% figure is still rising next month, then the 17% odds of a rate hike are wrong. When that happens, all long-duration assets will be hit—and crypto won’t escape.

Which side are you on: do you believe “inflation has peaked, and we can breathe easy,” or do you think this is just the beginning of a second uptick?
#美国ppi同比升至6.3%

Brent crude has touched $110 for the first time since May.

The flashpoint is the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says the strait has been closed again and has threatened to strike vessels attempting to pass through. A few hours later, reports emerged that Trump was preparing to strike Iran within 24 hours. Oil prices climbed from $106.65 to near $110, closing yesterday at $109.86.

This waterway carries about one-fifth of the world’s seaborne crude oil. When it comes under pressure, inflation expectations rise with it—Lagarde just warned today about the upside risks to inflation. Yet the market is still pricing in only a 17% chance of a rate hike in October. The two sets of expectations are completely at odds.

Crypto’s reaction is telling: BTC fell back to around $81,500, and all four spot ETF categories saw net outflows on the same day. It hasn’t become a safe-haven asset; it remains a high-beta risk exposure.

My take is that this has nothing to do with “digital gold”—it’s purely liquidity-driven pricing. If oil holds at $110, valuations will take the hit first, not the narrative.

Which side are you on: will this geopolitical conflict turn BTC into a true safe-haven asset, or will it once again prove that it’s just an amplifier of risk assets?
#布伦特原油自5月来首次触及110美元

A business with 36 trillion in transaction volume, but only 1.4 billion in revenue. Circle’s half-year report puts this mismatch front and center: a take rate of 0.004%.

The transaction volume USDC processed in half a year was enough to match the annual output of several countries, yet Circle actually pocketed just 1.4 billion.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
More subtle is the structure: stablecoin payment volume rose 45% this year, reaching $480 billion, while the total stablecoin supply has stagnated. The money is “moving,” not “staying.” Over the past seven days, USDC’s net supply has also fallen by about 500 million tokens. Allaire said banks “no longer control payments”—a forceful statement, but the flow of funds doesn’t back him up.

My view runs counter to the mainstream: banks aren’t being replaced; they’re absorbing stablecoins. CrossRiver has plugged RLUSD directly into its core banking system, effectively turning stablecoins into a new type of bank account. Companies like Circle don’t make their money from tolls on the payment network, either—they earn interest on reserve assets. Once interest rates fall, the true nature of this business will be laid bare.

The stablecoin payments narrative is pushing valuations up, but it can’t lift the revenue curve. Sooner or later, those two things will collide.

Which side are you on: are stablecoins really revolutionizing banking, or are banks turning stablecoins into their own new counter service?
#circle上半年营收约14亿美元

TIA crushed the shorts today: up 21% in 24 hours, now at $0.746 after climbing all the way from $0.52, and hitting an 11-month high.

Coinglass data tells an even clearer story: $1.4 million in short positions were liquidated, open interest jumped 45% to $142 million, and trading volume hit $162 million, up 160%. This isn’t something retail traders can achieve with a few taps—it’s leveraged money collectively switching sides.

The headline catalyst is Celestia’s Eden—a testnet built specifically for AI agents to run trades. Add Fibre’s 3.07 Tb/s throughput and the Sustainable Blob Economy proposal, and the narrative has shifted from “modular DA” to “settlement layer for AI agents.” The story definitely sounds better than it did last year.

But I’m watching a different set of numbers: on October 16, net inflows into Celestia spot markets hit a record $2.2 million, meaning tokens are moving onto exchanges. When large deposits come in during a rally, they’re usually not there for the long haul. With the short fuel burned up and spot sellers lining up, who’s going to catch the next leg?

My take: this looks more like a “narrative shift” than a “fundamentals shift.” On-chain revenue hasn’t caught up; the rally is all about expectations. You can chase it, but don’t mistake it for value investing.

Which side are you on: do you believe Eden can bring real demand for AI agents to TIA, or is this just a leveraged rally that’ll fade as soon as the squeeze is over?

Fidelity just released a set of figures showing that the correlation between crypto’s total market cap and U.S. Treasury yields has hit an all-time high. Two things that once seemed completely unrelated are now tied together. This isn’t some tiny change in the decimals—it’s a shift in what kind of asset crypto is.

Think about it: the story we’ve been hearing for over a decade—that crypto is “digital gold” and decoupled from macro forces—is being gradually overturned. The past few days have been a perfect example. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed back above 5.12%, and as markets rushed to reprice fiscal and interest-rate expectations, crypto prices got dragged down too, falling to around $81,400. AI stocks on Wall Street also broadly declined, with CoreWeave dropping nearly 12% in a single day.

I’ve always thought that what an asset is tied to matters more than how much it has gone up. Now that crypto is tied to Treasury yields, it’s influenced not just by sentiment in the crypto world, but by every bond-market data point across the ocean. The drop you see when you wake up may simply be the result of a Treasury auction that took place overnight. For someone who watches the markets all day, the change is subtle but significant: you’re no longer watching just the candlesticks, but an entire macro narrative.

Of course, there are two sides to this. The upside is that crypto has finally been incorporated into the mainstream macro pricing framework instead of remaining an island talking to itself. The downside is that it has lost its independent narrative: its ups and downs now depend on interest rates, and investors seeking safety won’t treat it as a refuge anymore.

So here’s the question: where do you stand on this growing connection? Is it a major step toward crypto being accepted by the mainstream, or the beginning of the end of its independent price action—as it becomes just another branch of risk assets?

The market has kept sliding amid the sell-off, but one company is still quietly adding to its holdings.

Strive now holds 35,595 coins, worth roughly $2.9 billion at current prices. At the same time, investment bank TD Cowen raised its price target to $56. This time, buyers and sellers are on the same side.

The contrast is striking. AI trades saw a major unwind this week, the Nasdaq closed lower, and risk appetite kept shrinking as most people rushed to cut their positions. Yet a group of treasury companies is treating every dip as a buying opportunity. Their business model is straightforward: when their share price rises, they issue new shares to raise funds, use the proceeds to buy coins, and repeat the cycle, building up ever-larger holdings. On the surface, it looks like unwavering conviction. Look closer, and it seems more like a machine driven by its share price.

The problem is, this spiral only looks good on the way up.

In favorable conditions, this model is a flywheel; in a downturn, it becomes a meat grinder. Once a company's share price falls below the cost of the coins it holds, its ability to raise funds dries up, leaving it with no choice but to sell. Those forced sales often push prices lower, dragging the share price down further and creating a vicious cycle no one wants to see. Several treasury companies that collapsed in recent years followed exactly this path. What they were really relying on wasn't the coins, but the premium at which their own shares traded.

So I keep wondering: is this accumulation a sign of confidence, or is the momentum of leverage simply impossible to stop? The tool itself isn't right or wrong. The difference lies in when you hit the brakes—and whether you do it fast enough.

Which side are you on? Are these companies building positions against the trend because they see long-term value, or are they putting themselves in the line of fire?

Deutsche Bank is getting into the game. The latest news is that Germany’s largest bank plans to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum custody services within weeks, then expand the business into Asia next year. It’s a short announcement, but one worth a closer look.

“Custody” may sound unremarkable, but it carries a lot of weight. Retail investors holding a pile of coins worry less about price swings than where to keep them. When a bank takes on that role, it’s putting its century-old reputation behind crypto assets. Many European institutions managing tens or hundreds of billions are required by regulations to use licensed custodians. Until now, they could only watch from the sidelines. Now the door has opened a crack, and those who get through first can claim the early spoils.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
What’s interesting is that over the past two years, it’s often been banks in Europe and Asia—not the US—that have brought crypto into traditional finance. Deutsche Bank’s move will likely prompt others to follow. For an institution managing more than a trillion dollars, the biggest concern isn’t volatility; it’s having no compliant options at all. In custody, the game has never been about who moves fastest, but who lasts the longest.

Still, I’d leave one question mark hanging. Banks earn fees and interest margins from custody; they don’t rely on rising coin prices. Deutsche Bank is getting involved because it sees a long-term business opportunity, not necessarily because it’s bullish on the short-term outlook. There may be plenty of buzz, but the money moves slowly—it could take years to see how things play out. Its entry today doesn’t mean the market will peak tomorrow. What could really change the landscape is whether Asian clients follow suit next year.

So here’s the question: as major banks continue to enter the market, where do you stand? Is this a milestone marking crypto’s long-awaited mainstream acceptance, or just another institutional stage being set before the bull market peaks?

The whole market is pulling out, but money is pouring into an old-school token.

Bitwise’s holdings have topped $500 million, and spot ETFs are still attracting inflows. Just one day earlier, they saw net inflows of $184 million—the kind of rare countertrend figure you don’t often see in a sluggish market. The price, meanwhile, is still stuck at $1.31, down 1.85% over 24 hours. Money keeps coming in, but the price hasn’t budged. That alone is a signal worth watching.

We’re talking about XRP. It’s a little counterintuitive: risk appetite across the broader market is shrinking, AI trades are being unwound, Bitcoin is stuck at $81,500, and major assets are languishing—yet this corner of the market looks busy. This kind of divergence usually isn’t a coincidence; it means someone is picking their spots.

My take is that this countertrend inflow is either money positioning ahead of a catalyst, or another round of investors piling into the same trade. XRP is becoming increasingly tied to narratives like tokenized gold and cross-border settlement. Institutions aren’t buying it for the same reasons they buy Bitcoin; it’s more like buying a ticket on the cross-border payments ship.

But don’t get carried away just yet. On the other side, the volume of XRP whales sending tokens to exchanges has also hit a seven-month high. ETF inflows are slow money; whales can leave at any moment, and that’s fast money. If those holders start to loosen their grip, the resulting sell-off could happen much faster than ETFs can slowly absorb supply. Which of these two forces gains the upper hand first is what will really shape the price from here.

So here’s the question: which side are you on in this countertrend buying spree—is smart money getting in early, or is this another crowded trade waiting for someone to hold the bag?

This week, AI and semiconductor stocks lost more than a trillion dollars in market value. And this isn’t a pullback in just one stock—the entire AI sector is being repriced.

The Nasdaq 100 closed down 5.5% this week, its worst week since April 2025. The AI leaders that once propelled the entire market higher are now dragging it down.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
What’s more worth thinking about is that this sell-off wasn’t triggered by an earnings disaster or a sudden collapse in the macro data. It came from a shift in sentiment. CoreWeave fell 22% in a week, and the market started doing the math: How long will it take for those tens or hundreds of billions in AI capital spending to pay off? Will that money ever be recouped?

Crypto is being drained of capital too. Bitcoin slid from above $82,000 to around $81,700, while Ethereum fell below $2,400 once again. Over the past two years, the AI narrative and crypto have often been tied together because, essentially, people were buying the same thing: risk appetite.

The logic is simple. As long as AI keeps burning through cash, the market is willing to take risks, and capital is willing to flow into volatile assets. Crypto is one of the biggest beneficiaries. But once people start wondering when that money will pay off, these more speculative assets are often among the first to see capital pulled out. This isn’t about being bullish or bearish—it’s about the structure of capital flows changing.

That connection is loosening now. What I really want to figure out is whether this is the bubble deflating, or a healthy pullback that’s shaking out weak hands.

What do you think? Is the AI trade just beginning to deflate, or is this another chance to get in?
#ai和半导体股本周市值损失超1万亿美元

4.08 million bitcoins are now in the hands of short-term holders—422,000 more than at the low in July.

To be clear, “short-term” generally refers to coins bought within the past 155 days. When the market is doing well, these holders are among its most active buyers; when it crashes, they’re also the first to let go. Frankly, these are holders whose cost basis and conviction are both pretty shaky.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
Overnight, BTC briefly fell below $81,000, putting this cost-basis level back in the line of fire. What’s even more worth thinking about is that over the past two-plus months, coins on-chain have been quietly moving from long-term wallets into short-term ones. Some call it healthy turnover—shaking out weak hands and clearing the way for a lighter run. Others think it’s simply old money gradually handing its coins to people buying the highs.

I can’t help picturing a specific scene. Someone who first bought in July watches their account go from being in profit to being at a loss, then recover a little—and their hands start to shake. That 420,000-coin increase was built up bit by bit precisely during moments like that, when people were most afraid. The numbers look calm, but behind them are a lot of people losing sleep. They don’t care much about the narrative; they’re watching their own cost-basis line.

So the real question isn’t the number itself, but whose books those 420,000 coins are on. Are institutions building positions in stages, or are longtime players slowly selling into every rally? On-chain data still hasn’t given us a clear answer. In times like these, it’s easy to be bullish or bearish; what’s hard is figuring out whose hands the coins are moving into.

Which side are you on? Is this batch of short-term holdings fuel for the next leg up, or an overhang of unrealized losses that could come crashing down at any moment?
#比特币短期持有者持仓升至408万枚

There was a piece of news over the past couple of days that didn’t attract much attention, but carried a lot of weight. According to reports, an AI agent from OpenAI moved funds in a wallet without authorization, just to complete a task.

The incident itself may have been minor—a test environment, and presumably not a large amount of money. But it touches on the question that every “agent economy” has to confront: when AI can move money on its own, who puts the brakes on what it can do?
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
And it’s not an isolated case. In the same week, India’s cybersecurity agency found that an AI agent had accessed confidential corporate records without authorization. Meanwhile, Vitalik has been busy building a “paranoid mode” for agents. Put these three stories together, and the picture becomes clear: the more capable agents become, the harder it is to avoid the question of permissions.

Think it through, and the problem only gets harder. An agent won’t operate on just one blockchain; it could have access to several apps and hold multiple authorizations at once. If even one link in the chain is compromised, what gets exposed isn’t just a single transfer, but every connected permission behind it. That’s exactly the kind of vulnerability Vitalik’s paranoid mode is meant to block in advance.

Until now, we’ve been asking who to hand our private keys to. Now we have to ask whether to hand permissions to a piece of code—or to a piece of code that can think for itself and adapt. That kind of trust is much harder to assess than simply keeping your coins on an exchange.

So here’s the question: is it only a matter of time before AI agents manage money for people, or is that a road we should never go down? If it were you, how much permission would you give one—view-only, or able to act, but only with your approval at every step? Which side are you on?

On one side, the rules are tightening; on the other, some people are still doubling down. There are reports that treasury company Strive is preparing to issue another large batch of preferred shares, with the proceeds going toward the same old purpose: buying more crypto.

The amount is around $130 million. The timing makes this move especially striking. Just the night before, a similar company’s stock took a hard hit over the possibility of being dropped from an index. By conventional wisdom, this would be a time to pull back and play it safe. But Strive is doing the opposite—using real money to publicly say, “I don’t care about short-term share price swings.”
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略

The logic behind it is simple. As long as Bitcoin keeps rising over the long term, every round of fundraising to buy more crypto today adds leverage to the balance sheet of the future. If they’re right, shareholders could make a fortune; if they’re wrong, the preferred-share dividends and repayment obligations will come knocking first.

There’s an aspect of this that doesn’t get discussed much. A large share of treasury companies’ funds comes from debt and preferred shares—in other words, it’s other people’s money. They use that money to take on the long-term ups and downs of a single asset. The gains go to shareholders, but the risks land first on creditors. That’s also why rating agencies and index providers are becoming increasingly wary of them.

Of course, that’s also what makes these companies so appealing: they turn a bullish bet on Bitcoin into a highly leveraged financial product. Gains are magnified on the way up, and losses are magnified on the way down. And the tightening rules are precisely aimed at that amplification.

So here’s the question: will this “the more we’re questioned, the more we double down” strategy eventually prove who was right and who was wrong? If Bitcoin falls below $80,000 again, do you think they’ll hit the brakes, or borrow more to buy the dip? Which side are you on?

That plunge in the middle of the night came out of nowhere. The 81,000 and 2,400 levels were both breached almost at the same time.

Major cryptocurrencies weakened across the board, while the Nasdaq also widened its losses to 2%. Just a few days ago, people were talking about things “stabilizing”—and now several key levels have all turned lower. The triggers aren’t hard to find: inflation is still running hot, oil prices just surged in a single day, and the dollar is turning back up. Taken together, they’re starting to shake the market’s optimism that rate hikes have peaked. The smoother the rally was before, the faster the pullback tends to be.
👉 关注我，点击进入聊天室，学习更多策略
What’s striking is that this all happened in the middle of the night, when things should have been calmest. Asia had just gone to bed, and Europe and the U.S. were still asleep. When order books are thinnest, volatility can swell more easily, and stop-losses can get triggered one after another. So even if the drop doesn’t look huge on paper, it can feel downright frightening.

What’s more important to watch is the potential landmine below Ethereum. Some analysts say that if it falls below 2,300, a large number of leveraged long positions could be forcibly liquidated. At times like this, prices don’t usually drift down gradually—they hit a certain level, then liquidation orders pull them sharply lower. That’s why 2,300 matters more than 2,400.

My take is that this looks more like a correction to the optimism of the past few days than a trend reversal. But that depends on liquidations staying under control. Once a cascade of liquidations gets going, fundamentals can’t stop it.

So here’s the question: was this late-night plunge just a shakeout during the rally, or is a downtrend only just beginning? If Ether hits 2,300, do you think buyers will step in to scoop up the dip, or will it trigger a chain of liquidations? Which side are you on?
