I think the first thing that has the broadest impact is the convergence of the right wing of Silicon Valley and the new rich in the cryptocurrency circle, and its influence on the entire financial sector will continue to ferment in 2026.

Nasdaq and the US financial markets are making the final push for a 'non-closing financial system'

Hong Kong Stock Contract Practical Test Experience

The practical test must follow the opening hours; the market is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, and funding fees are charged every 8 hours. Additionally, positions cannot be closed on non-trading days.

Theoretically, if you are bearish on a certain asset (preferably large-cap giants, of course, excluding Oracle), shorting with leverage below one time can continuously earn funding fees.

Currently, the rates are generally positive. Low-leverage short positions (1 time or below) are actually more useful than puts, continuously earning funding fees.

Just used MyStonks to buy 500 US dollars worth of Meituan

The Hong Kong stock contract sector has been opened, tested a 10x contract of Meituan (50U → 500U), the experience is not much different from CEX, the USDT deposited will automatically be priced according to the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, which is quite convenient (but the specific exchange loss has not been calculated yet)

For me, MyStonks' biggest advantage is the US dollar-based deposits and withdrawals, as well as the ability to leverage Hong Kong and US stocks

PS: Note that the Hong Kong stock contract sector is currently 1-20 times, so there are no dividends; the US stock sector has both spot (holding stocks like Apple can receive dividends) and contract modes, and the products are made with great care

Discover MyStonks can now buy Hong Kong stocks in addition to US stocks

However, there isn't much of the first batch, just Tencent, Xiaomi, Mixue Bingcheng, Meituan, JD.com, and Pop Mart, and the opening time hasn't arrived yet

US stocks have been around for a long time, and there are many supported underlying assets (over a hundred), besides the tech giants like the Seven Sisters, there are also Chinese concept stocks, new energy, AI, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, consumption, and other subcategories, which is quite impressive

The most impressive thing is that updates are also quite fast, FIGR is synchronized with the IPO launch, and I've heard that the upcoming Gemini IPO is also coming.

Mystonks Hidden "After-Hours" US Stock Trading Channel, Quite Interesting

Recently, I've been researching Mystonks and found its "US Stock Contracts" section quite intriguing, essentially serving as an after-hours trading channel for US stocks.

Even when the US market is closed, you can still engage with market news or events through contracts, effectively extending trading hours to 24 hours.

This is quite useful for those needing after-hours risk hedging or looking to capture event-driven opportunities, especially for sudden policies/adverse news/earnings reports where quick reactions are required. Additionally, the Chinese concept stocks (Alibaba, JD) present significant observation opportunities, making it suitable for players focused on the logic of Hong Kong and US stock linkages.

Moreover, with 1x leverage, it is essentially equivalent to spot trading, with no liquidation risk, making the strategy quite stable.

Interactive Brokers suddenly blocked access for users in China, is opening an account becoming difficult?

Interactive Brokers (IBKR) seems to have quietly closed the account opening window for Chinese users.

In the past, users could directly open accounts online using their ID cards, but recently the process has tightened, with users reporting requests for additional overseas addresses, proof of residence, and even account rejections.

If you have already successfully opened an account, it is recommended to complete the funding activation as soon as possible; if you haven't opened an account yet, you may have missed the window.

Hello everyone, I am Tyler, a worker in the crypto industry for over 4 years. I have worked as a researcher/editor at a leading crypto media outlet, and now I am an independent writer & researcher.

I want to rely on my accumulated experience and ability dividends to cultivate a small space in the long term, gather a group of like-minded friends and a small circle. Therefore, I plan to create a paid knowledge community "Tyler Charging Station".

In the group, we do not recommend coins, do not call shots, and do not act as agents. We only discuss practical operations and experiences, with a small entry barrier (less than 200 RMB, one-time fee), which is considered paid knowledge. For specific details, please refer to the documents or images in the comment section.

If you feel that the information and services provided are valuable, you can message me privately with the note "Charging Station".

This operation by Big Orange is equivalent to not hedging with WBETH, but instead, nakedly selling ETH calls, and then using the premiums to buy long-dated out-of-the-money calls on Robinhood/Tesla.

It's possible that the margin from selling calls could get liquidated, while the purchased US stock calls could go to zero, resulting in a double loss.

Although he definitely has ETH spot holdings, once ETH surges, he will have to rely on quick reflexes to transfer the spot to hedge in time.

Actually, just taking this 40% annualized premium is quite pleasant, and then using it to gamble on far out-of-the-money calls in US stocks seems a bit wasteful.

Has anyone watched 'Catching the Wind and Chasing Shadows'? There's a mnemonic phrase in it.

The plot setting is——hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars are locked in a wallet with a 12-word mnemonic phrase. I tried it, and the 10th and 12th words are not in the standard library.

Clearly, it's to prevent drama fans from actually restoring it for scams (the kind of scam where there's a balance on Tron but it's not transferable has been quite common lately).

But interestingly, the movie states that only the last word is unknown... But according to the BIP39 mnemonic standard, there are only 2048 words in the library, and brute-forcing the last word is just a matter of iterating through 2048 times, which takes only a few minutes (not to mention that there are only a few words starting with ES).

So, is the screenwriter intentionally laying a trap, or do they just not quite understand Web3? 😂

PS: Highly recommended, I feel it's Jackie Chan's best work in the last decade, really worth watching!

Analyze this, MyStonks has frozen 6.2 million dollars

U is not involved in illegal activities, the most likely issue encountered is the same problem as U card service providers — MyStonks, as a service provider in the middle channel, cannot bypass the risk control requirements of upstream brokers

In simple terms, the money is stuck with the brokers, and as an intermediary, it has no way to act. It can only listen to the brokers' demands for additional information, and cannot help users unfreeze their funds

This means that for those trying to tokenize US stocks, aside from licensed brokers like Robinhood operating independently, everyone else relying on intermediaries to navigate the US stock mapping is advised to play less for now

Upstream risk control + multiple layers of channels, freezing you without negotiation

Trump, the greatest operator in history

Buffett asks the stock god: How much can I make this year?
The stock god answers: 30%
Buffett asks again: What about Trump?
The stock god sighs: It's been a long time since anyone called me that name.
