$BTC $BTC Don't Panic About the Crypto Market! 2025 Looks Bad, But It's Actually the Starting Point of a New Cycle
Still worried about the performance of the crypto market in 2025? Don't be fooled by the apparent decline; this wave that seems like the 'worst market' is actually a golden transition period for institutions to grab shares!
With the results of the mid-term elections still undecided and a bearish market sentiment, it's precisely during this time that it's a great opportunity to position oneself. In the short term, over the next 3-6 months, Bitcoin is likely to fluctuate between $87,000 and $95,000, and institutions are seizing this period to build their positions aggressively; in the first half of 2026, driven by policies and institutions, the target directly aims for $120,000 to $150,000; although volatility will increase in the second half, the general direction has already been set — this is not the peak of the cycle, but the beginning of a new cycle!
Looking back at history helps understand: in 2013, retail investors played up to $1,100, in 2017 the ICO craze soared to $20,000, in 2021 DeFi+NFT reached $69,000, and in 2025 institutions are entering at directly $87,000. With each cycle, players become more professional, funding becomes more substantial, and infrastructure becomes more complete. This time, with institutions leading the new cycle, how could it possibly weaken?
Interestingly, giants like BlackRock and Fidelity are quietly accumulating shares on the left side, while retail investors are still struggling with 'will it drop?', highlighting the gap in understanding! This year, Bitcoin's price fell by 5%, but ETFs saw an inflow of $25 billion. With supply turnover, institutional allocation willingness, and policy support all at their peak, isn't this signal clear enough?
The key in 2026 lies in policy legislation and Bitcoin reserves; the old valuation logic has long been ineffective, and a new pricing power is being rebuilt. How high do you think this wave of institutional positioning can push Bitcoin? Let's discuss your target price in the comments!
#稳定币 Breaking! The brand new dollar stablecoin U is here, double-chain deployment has caught CZ's attention
A big announcement just came in, the dollar stablecoin U launched by United Stables is officially online, completing the BSC and ETH double-chain deployment in one go, directly igniting the crypto circle!
This stablecoin is not an ordinary player; it is a 1:1 fully reserved collateral, backed by cash and top stablecoins, with on-chain reserve proof and monthly audits, ensuring maximum security. What's even more impressive is that it is the first liquidity aggregation stablecoin, specifically designed for institutional trading, DeFi liquidity, and cross-border settlement scenarios, making it a solid operational-grade player. Trust Wallet already launched its BEP-20 asset on December 15, and CoinMarketCap has included it in their listings, gaining significant visibility.
It's worth mentioning that BNB Chain had previously announced plans to launch a new stablecoin, and CZ has also shown interest in the underlying UTechStables, boosting U's visibility significantly. U has already integrated with many DeFi protocols including PancakeSwap, and in the future, it will add privacy protection and AI native payment features, showing great ambition.
By the way, do you think this stablecoin U, which has caught CZ's attention and is deployed on two chains, can break through in the stablecoin race? Share your thoughts in the comments!
#美联储新掌舵人 Breaking! Hassett has become the frontrunner for the Federal Reserve Chair, with a probability soaring to 56%
The bet on the Federal Reserve Chair has seen a dark horse emerge! On December 21, Polymarket data exploded, showing that Hassett's probability of taking over as Federal Reserve Chair surged directly to 56%, far outpacing other candidates.
It's important to note that in this battle for the Fed's top position, Walsh's election probability is only 22%, while Waller is even lower at 12%, and Hassett's lead has completely widened. As the Director of the National Economic Council, his approval ratings have suddenly skyrocketed, clearly indicating that the market is warming to his monetary policy ideas.
The selection of the Federal Reserve Chair has always been a matter of global financial market nerves, and Hassett's strong lead will likely affect the USD trend, US Treasury yields, and even the flow of global capital. Behind this wave of betting, is the market sensing a policy shift early, or is there something else at play?
Do you think Hassett can ultimately secure the position of Federal Reserve Chair? Share your thoughts in the comments!
#叙事才是最好的标的 Cryptocurrency entrepreneurship, stop wasting money! No matter how good the product is, without a good story, it's still useless.
There are too many founders in the crypto circle who have fallen into pitfalls: spending heavily on marketing and events, only to find that the market makes no splash at all. The problem is not that the product is unviable, but that they don't know how to tell a brand story!
It's important to understand that a true brand story is never just about fundraising announcements or sponsored advertisements; it’s about creating an imprint in the user's heart, like Apple's "Think Different". However, many people now treat media exposure as a story, and can't even articulate their brand's core proposition, leading outsourced teams to fabricate narratives, resulting in wasted money and soulless traffic tools.
What’s even more heartbreaking is that, in the eyes of capital, stories are hard currency! Cold numbers are far less persuasive than stories that can touch people's hearts, which explains why some projects with average technology can still secure funding. But crafting a story cannot be outsourced; it has to be refined by the founders themselves, just like watering a plant. The essence of a brand story can only be tuned by oneself.
Currently, media in the crypto field is still being hijacked by traffic, with creators focusing solely on click rates, producing content that is all fast-food marketing, lacking emotional resonance. Rather than blindly chasing data, it's better to calm down and find the core resonances of the brand. If it can touch users in 10 seconds, focus on that, and if depth is needed, choose the right media to refine it slowly.
Ultimately, in the end, cryptocurrency entrepreneurship relies on the product as a foundation, but the story is the key to breaking through! Let's discuss in the comments, what is the most impactful crypto project story you've seen?
#圣旦将至会发生些什么事 ? The financial market during Christmas week is going to explode! Federal Reserve nomination + GDP data, plus significant trading hour adjustments
The financial market for Christmas week has been directly pressed on the 'high-energy button'! On one side is the suspense of the Federal Reserve Chairman nomination, and on the other side is the U.S. GDP data that will test the effect of interest rate cuts, plus the collective adjustment of trading hours for U.S. stocks and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which has directly put investors on high alert!
News on December 21: Next week, due to Christmas, U.S. stocks will significantly change trading rules: early closing on Wednesday, all-day closure on Thursday, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will only operate half a day on Wednesday. What the market is most concerned about is whether Trump will officially announce the Federal Reserve Chairman nominee during the Christmas period—currently, Kevin Hassett is far ahead with a 54% nomination probability, while Waller and Walsh only have 21% and 14% respectively. Once this nominee is decided, the subsequent monetary policy of the Federal Reserve may change drastically.
More crucially, next Tuesday, major data including the U.S. Q3 GDP and core PCE will be released in a cluster, which is key to testing the 'results' of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts! In addition, the Bank of Canada meeting minutes and Japan's unemployment rate data are also coming to join the fun, making the global macro market's uncertainties peak.
On one side is the suspense of Federal Reserve personnel, and on the other side is the major test of economic data. Coupled with the special rhythm of the Christmas market closure, what kind of trend will the financial market show next week? Let’s discuss in the comments whether you think this GDP data will change the direction of Federal Reserve policy? #美联储换新掌舵人
#一姐何一 He Yi pointed out the pain points of the cryptocurrency market: it's not a lack of liquidity, but rather a lack of quality targets.
He Yi from Binance recently pointed out the core issue of the cryptocurrency market in a sharing session: the market does not lack liquidity, but rather lacks sufficiently good targets. Investors are holding a large amount of stablecoins but cannot find quality projects worth entering.
This viewpoint accurately hits the current state of the cryptocurrency market. After experiencing the ups and downs of the industry, many investors have become increasingly cautious, with a large amount of funds being stagnant in the market in the form of stablecoins. It seems that there is insufficient liquidity, but in reality, the scarcity of quality projects has caused funds to lose their motivation to enter. After all, in the cryptocurrency field, the project's technical strength, implementation ability, and long-term value are the keys to attracting funds. If the target itself lacks core competitiveness, no matter how abundant the funds are, they will only hold their coins and wait.
He Yi's statement is not only a clear judgment of the current market situation but also serves as a wake-up call for practitioners in the cryptocurrency industry: instead of being entangled in liquidity issues, it is better to focus on refining the project itself and activate market vitality with truly quality targets. For investors, while waiting for quality projects to emerge, they also need to more rationally identify the value of targets and avoid blindly following trends.
So, in your opinion, what kind of projects in the cryptocurrency market can be considered "sufficiently good targets"? #币安链一级市场Hawk Share your thoughts in the comments.
$ETH Ethereum's major move in 2026! Secure first, then ensure fairness; is the crypto world about to change?
Ethereum is directly switching tracks in 2026! On one hand, it is maximizing security with 128-bit encryption, and on the other hand, it is pushing the Glamsterdam upgrade to address MEV unfairness, which is causing a stir in the crypto community!
On December 21, the Ethereum Foundation suddenly announced that the focus for 2026 would completely shift from speed to security. It turns out that although the performance of zkEVM has improved, some solutions carry the risk of on-chain state falsification, so the foundation firmly requires that zkEVM must achieve 128-bit security strength, and also needs to supplement formal verification and anti-attack measures, even if it means slowing down expansion—after all, security is a top priority for institutions and high-value applications.
Just as security was being established, core developers have thrown out a major move: the Glamsterdam upgrade will launch in 2026, specifically to address the issue of MEV unfairness! This time, EIP-7732 will be promoted to separate proposers and packagers, reducing reliance on centralized relays, and EIP-7928 will enable faster and more stable block execution, improving fairness and paving the way for future expansion, although the complete proposal is still being refined.
By strengthening the security front and correcting MEV fairness, is Ethereum's approach of 'defending before attacking' steady and reliable, or is it missing the window for expansion? Let's discuss in the comments whether you think Ethereum's move is right or wrong!
#大佬语录 Arthur Hayes's sharp commentary on the crypto market: Stop guessing what market makers are targeting you, and rely on imagination to understand your wallet!\n \nCrypto mogul Arthur Hayes's recent interview remarks were bold, directly hitting on two major cognitive pain points for crypto investors, leaving listeners enlightened!\n \nWhen asked what he would like to delete from the collective sentiment of the crypto market, Hayes bluntly stated that he is fed up with everyone thinking that market makers are deliberately manipulating prices against them. The volatility in the crypto market is already severe; many people who lose money blame the market makers without considering key factors like macroeconomics and capital flows, and they do not reflect on their own trading decisions. This paranoid mentality will only trap investors in their emotions, making it impossible to view the market rationally.\n \nInterestingly, when pressed on how to find the wallet he 'doesn't want people to discover,' Hayes's response was a remarkable comeback: "Use your imagination, my friend." While it's true that on-chain data can be traced, the truly core wallet information and the logic behind it cannot simply be uncovered through straightforward tracking. To put it plainly, this is a reminder for crypto players not to get stuck on surface data; the opportunities and secrets in the crypto world are often hidden in the imagination that breaks free from conventional thinking.\n \nThese two statements from Hayes actually serve as a wake-up call for all crypto investors: Instead of being trapped in a victim mentality of 'being targeted,' it's better to analyze the market rationally; instead of fixating on data and getting lost in details, it's better to use imagination to unlock new possibilities in the industry.\n \nThat said, what other cognitive biases do you think people easily fall into in the crypto market? Let's discuss your views in the comments!
#Hawk必出圈 The highest way of living is to dare to reshape oneself!\n\nWho says a king cannot fall from grace? At the edge of the cliffs in the North American wilderness, a bald eagle was once the absolute ruler of the skies. With a wingspan of two meters blocking out the sun, its iron claws could pierce through bone; at that time, it was synonymous with freedom and power.\n\nBut time's knife ultimately cut into this king. A fierce battle with a coyote tore its right wing; years of hunting wear and tear left its beak shattered and claws dull. Once proud and above all, it found even flapping its wings to be a struggle, nearly plummeting off the cliff. Days curled up in the nest felt like despair growing wild like weeds.\n\nBut in an eagle's dictionary, there has never been the word "resignation"! It chose the most brutal rebirth: it flew to the cliff's peak and smashed its head against the rocks until its old beak, along with flesh and blood, fell off; enduring excruciating pain, it used its newly formed tender beak to pull off the aging toenails one by one; then with its newly grown sharp claws, it tore off the heavy old feathers piece by piece!\n\nFor a full 150 days, it ate and drank nothing, relying solely on willpower. With no weapons, it pecked at berries; with no armor, it faced the cold wind head-on. This was not healing, it was clearly a brawl with death!\n\nFinally, a miracle arrived! The new beak was like a dark iron curved sword, sharp claws glimmered with cold light, and the feathers were strong and glossy. When it once again soared towards the clouds, a long cry echoed throughout the heavens and the earth. This time, it was not flying; it was declaring: the king will never fade away!\n\nDo you think this kind of courage to "live after death" is more inspiring than any motivational speech? If it were you, at the darkest moment of life, would you dare to give yourself a heart-wrenching reboot like this eagle? Let's chat in the comments: do you want to "wait for death" or do you want to "be reborn"? #坚持比天赋更强
#机构看市 Coinbase calls out new signals for the crypto market in 2026! Beyond cautious optimism, these big moves are coming.
Coinbase's latest report on the 2026 crypto market outlook highlights key points for the industry: a cautiously optimistic attitude towards the first half of the market, and it teases that the 'DAT 2.0' model is about to launch, indicating that the way of playing in the crypto space is about to change!
In this report, Coinbase likens the current market to 1996 rather than the bubble of 1999, betting that the resilience of the US economy will support the crypto market. More importantly, with 'DAT 2.0', institutions are no longer just simply buying crypto assets for allocation; instead, they are diving into professional trading, custody, and acquiring blockchain space, significantly deepening their engagement with crypto.
On the technical side, there are also many explosive points: the demand for privacy will accelerate zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption technology, and the combination of AI and crypto will give rise to autonomous trading agent systems; application-specific chains will reshuffle crypto infrastructure, and tokenized stocks will also see an explosion thanks to atomic composability.
In terms of market opportunities, the composability of crypto derivatives, prediction markets, and stablecoin payments have become highly sought after, even predicting that by the end of 2028, the total market value of stablecoins could reach 1.2 trillion dollars.
After reading Coinbase's predictions, do you think the crypto market will follow this script in 2026? Share your thoughts in the comments!
#马斯克的传奇人生 Musk's Dream of Mars: Burning Billions, So What If He Fails?
Who would have thought that Musk, who vowed to send humanity to Mars, has stumbled! Recently, the DOGE-1 satellite launch mission went down the drain, with the failure coming unexpectedly. The outside world is filled with voices of doubt, but he is not afraid at all.
Do you think the journey to Mars is a romantic adventure? Wrong! This is clearly a gamble that burns money to the point of pain. Musk declared that within 20 years, he aims to build a city on Mars with 1,000 starships, backed by hundreds of billions of dollars in funding gaps. The money he raised from the IPO hasn't been spent on luxury homes or yachts; it has all gone into rocket fuel and steel mechs. This isn’t about making money; it’s clearly a “toll fee” collected from Earthlings for interstellar travel!
Looking back, SpaceX was once a joke. Musk, with PayPal's money, sought to buy rockets from Russia and faced public humiliation, making him so angry that he slammed the table: I'll build it myself! The Falcon 1 had three failed launches, and the company’s account had just enough money for one more gamble. He bet his entire fortune and turned the impossible into the possible.
Did the DOGE-1 fail this time? A small setback! The day after the launch failure, Musk dived into the research center, working with engineers to analyze data and fix bugs. The workshop's robotic arms moved more vigorously, and the test stand burned brighter. In his eyes, failure is not a period, but a step in the iteration of technology. From rocket explosions to starship damage, each stumble brings the dream of Mars one step closer.
On one side is the craziness of burning billions, and on the other is the stubbornness of fighting back after each defeat. Is Musk's dream of Mars a delusion or humanity's next future? Let’s chat in the comments, do you dare to bet on his victory? $DOGE
#何一谈笑引爆中文MEME币 Binance Life: A Meme Coin Wealth Creation Fantasy Born from a Joke
Who would have thought that He Yi's casual remark, "I wish you a Binance car and a Binance community to live in," would spark a sensational celebration in the crypto world! In July 2025, the "Binance Life" MEME coin burst onto the scene, skyrocketing from a few cents to nearly 1 dollar, with a market cap soaring into the hundreds of millions, transforming a joke into a "wealth creation myth" that had the Chinese community buzzing!
This operation was simply absurdly magical. It started with a down-to-earth blessing that struck a chord with everyone's yearning for financial freedom. The creativity and meme-making ability of the Chinese community hit new heights, with jokes, memes, and secondary creations flying everywhere. The project team took advantage of this momentum, managing to hype up a token that had no technical backing into a phenomenon that seemed to have "official endorsement." Even more astonishing was the positive feedback from DEX trading, where high turnover rates and profit effects drew wave after wave of participants. Some saw their account balances grow by a couple of zeros and achieved financial freedom, while others got caught in high points and faced losses. The thin line between getting rich and being liquidated clearly showcased the madness of the crypto world.
In the end, this was not just a MEME coin celebration, but also a breakthrough for Chinese culture in the crypto space. Previously dominated by Western narratives, the crypto story was surprisingly disrupted by a single Chinese joke, and the cultural identity and action power of the community showed the world the energy of the Chinese circle. But after the excitement, everyone knows that these types of tokens rely entirely on emotions for support; when the bubble bursts, it leaves nothing but chaos.
So the question arises, how long do you think the myth of "Binance Life" can last? What other outrageous MEME coin stories have you encountered in the crypto world? Let's discuss in the comments! $币安人生 $客服小何
#巨鲸交易 A mysterious giant whale spends 28.76 million USD! Current ETH price buy + 20x leverage short, the hedging strategy shakes the market
Family, there’s big news in the crypto market again! On December 19, PANews reported that a mysterious crypto whale marked as 0xed41 spent about 28.76 million USD to buy 9,638 Ethereum (ETH) on the spot market through the Hyperliquid and Lighter platforms! But even more outrageous, it simultaneously opened a 20x leverage short position with 9,940 ETH, playing a hedging operation that is simply explosive!
Let’s break down this operation. Generally speaking, buying ETH is bullish, right? But this whale simultaneously opened a 20x leverage short, which is a bit confusing. In fact, it’s playing a hedging strategy of “fighting with both hands.” If the ETH price rises, the money earned in spot can offset some of the losses in the short; if the price falls, the short makes a profit and can cover the losses in the spot. In simple terms, this whale wants to lock in risk regardless of how the market fluctuates, and maybe even make some arbitrage in the volatility.
However, this operation is also extremely risky! 20x leverage is already very stimulating, and if the ETH price suddenly rises or falls more than 20%, the short position might get liquidated, and this strategy could collapse completely. This mysterious whale's operation will definitely make many investors start pondering how ETH will move next. Everyone, quickly share your thoughts! $ETH
$WLFI Breaking! WLFI deployment address transferred 10 million tokens to Binance, worth 1.3 million USD for the first time
Folks, there's been another big move in the crypto circle! On December 19, the WLFI deployment address suddenly deposited 10 million WLFI tokens to Binance, amounting to a staggering 1.3 million USD at current value. This operation has set the market ablaze.
It's important to note that this is not an ordinary token transfer, but the first time the World Liberty Fi Deployer address has made a large-scale token transfer to a trading platform. According to on-chain monitoring information, this deposit occurred just 10 minutes before the news broke, executed swiftly and forcefully, instantly drawing intense attention from investors. After all, in the crypto market, the large token movements from project deployment addresses often hide key signals for subsequent circulation and price trends. This WLFI operation has led everyone to speculate whether the project team is planning new actions, such as initiating larger-scale trading circulation or possibly launching new trading pairs.
Is this first large deposit a prelude to market liquidity, or will it trigger fluctuations in token prices? Share your thoughts on this WLFI operation in the comments. How do you think its market performance will unfold next? #特郎普家族
#CZ大表哥 CZ After resigning, will he truly be free? Besides focusing on education, he is surprisingly helping over a dozen countries set regulations!
After stepping down as CEO of Binance, CZ recently opened up in the year-end Q&A of BNB Chain, saying that this state is far from retirement; it’s clearly just switching tracks and continuing to work!
He openly stated that the best part now is the 'freedom', but he hasn’t reduced his workload: Google Academy is a free education project that he treats like his own child, and he’s also mentoring entrepreneurs at YZi Labs to help them avoid pitfalls. The major direction of BNB Chain is still firmly in his hands, and he is even helping Middle Eastern countries, Pakistan, and over a dozen others design cryptocurrency regulatory frameworks, which is a remarkable crossover operation.
The achievements of BNB Chain are impressive as well, with trading volume increasing by 60% year-on-year, daily active users surpassing 2 million, and the number of users aiming for 300 million, while the global share of crypto assets remains below 1%, leaving significant room for future growth. He even boldly stated that he predicts the market will not engage in insider horse racing, allowing the market to compete on its own; stablecoins need to move towards a 2.0 version of 'earning yields + good liquidity', and AI + Crypto is the real big opportunity.
What’s even more striking is his advice to entrepreneurs: those who only want to make quick money and lack discipline are directly placed in the 'disdained' category by him.
From managing an exchange to setting industry rules and helping countries build frameworks, what do you think about CZ's transformation? Share in the comments what big moves you think he will make next! $BNB
#巨鲸动向看得人眼晕 ETH whale circle has exploded! Buying, withdrawing, and increasing positions are all happening, and Brother Maji has made 200,000
Recently, the whales in the ETH market have been extremely busy, with various major operations taking turns, and the whole circle is boiling!
Let's first look at this mysterious whale, which directly bought 4,599 ETH within 24 hours, pouring in 13.2 million dollars. Just from the HyperLiquid and Lighter platforms, it bought 2,249 ETH and opened a 20x ETH short position, accumulating spot while hedging, truly impressive operations.
Just as this was wrapped up, Binance was buzzing again: three whales teamed up to withdraw coins, collectively taking away over 23.46 million dollars worth of ETH and BNB! One new wallet directly withdrew 3,504 ETH + 2,135 BNB, while the other two wallets withdrew 2,656 and 2,008 ETH respectively, showing a serious intent to hoard coins without leaving any room for the market.
What's even more interesting is Brother Maji, this big shot also joined the fun, just increased his position by 200 ETH long, and now the position size has soared to 14.2 million dollars, with an opening price of 2,917 dollars, already floating a profit of 200,000 dollars, and the liquidation price is still stuck at 2,783 dollars, it seems he is determined to be optimistic about the future trend of ETH.
These big shots are simultaneously making major purchases and withdrawals, while some big shots continue to increase positions and eat meat. Will ETH take off this time or hide a pit? Let's discuss in the comments what you think the whales' operations are really thinking! $ETH
