OpenAI is planning an unprecedented fundraising round—$100 billion. According to the latest reports, the company's valuation before this round is approximately $750 billion, a figure that alone is enough to attract the attention of global investment institutions.
Where does the money come from? That's an interesting question. Traditional American financial institutions seem to be feeling powerless; even large funds managing hundreds of billions of dollars are reluctant to commit too much to a single project, expected to contribute around $10 billion. In contrast, cash-rich giants like Amazon a

Want a coin to explode in the market? Actually, you don't need any technical breakthroughs — a clever psychological game is enough.
Here's how the scheme works:
**Step 1: Lure with bait.** Large traders prominently display massive short positions on exchanges, seemingly aiming to short to the bottom. In reality, they have already completed full hedging off-chain or through other channels, bringing their account risk to zero (this is called Delta Neutral).
**Step 2: Ignite emotions.** A wave of capital influxes, mindless dumping, causing the coin price to rise sharply. The profit-making effect

As the governance token of Apro Protocol, AT's value carries the project's actual implementation capability within the DeFi ecosystem.
Let's first look at the advantages. If the protocol can truly solve the pain point of liquidity fragmentation in a multi-chain environment by attracting users with lower slippage and fees, then AT could potentially appreciate through mechanisms such as fee buybacks and burns, staking mining, and governance dividends. This logic sounds promising.
But what about reality? Cross-chain swaps and liquidity aggregation are already highly competitive markets. Giants ar

Former Bank of Japan board member Yutaka Harada just called for the new Japanese government to go all-in on fiscal stimulus, monetary expansion, and tax cuts. The goal? Engineer what he's calling a "high pressure" economy by cranking up aggregate demand.
Here's why this matters for anyone tracking macro trends: when major central banks shift gears—especially on monetary policy—it ripples through asset markets globally. Harada's pushing for coordinated stimulus across all three levers: spending, credit conditions, and tax incentives. That's basically the playbook for fueling demand-driven ralli

Holiday trading is hitting the markets hard. The TSX wrapped up in the red as mining stocks took a hit in what's been pretty thin volume overall. With holiday-shortened weeks, we're seeing less liquidity and bigger swings in commodity-linked assets—especially mining plays. It's the classic thin-trading scenario where even modest selling pressure sends indices lower. Mining sector investors watching the price action closely as we head through the rest of the holiday season.

Here's an interesting take on the competitive landscape: xAI is positioning itself to potentially control more AI computing resources than all other players combined within the next five years. If this trajectory holds, it could reshape how computational power concentrates in the AI infrastructure sector. The scale of investment required for such dominance is staggering, and it raises questions about competition, innovation velocity, and market access for smaller players. Worth watching how this unfolds in the coming years.

Yesterday, the entire crypto market was oscillating within a frustrating narrow range, causing holders to suffer through small fluctuations. It wasn't until the end of the session that a sudden sharp decline occurred, breaking through the previous day's lows and ending the stalemate for the day.
The key now is whether the 87400 level can hold. If the price fails to form a strong rebound here, it is likely to continue downward to find a bottom. In this kind of market, rather than rushing to trade, it’s better to prioritize shorting the rebound, which is more convenient than desperately trying t

Recently, OL's market performance has been quite interesting, with a sudden increase of 3.14% in a short period. At first glance, it definitely catches the eye. But digging into the grassroots information reveals that there have been no substantial positive news in the past 12 hours—no new listings or reliable partnership announcements.
What's more disheartening is that the community is also very quiet, with almost no hot discussions or interactions. This phenomenon is quite common in the crypto world, often caused by certain funds creating a false sense of prosperity, trying to deceive newcom

NAORIS recently experienced a 3% increase, which at first glance is indeed eye-catching. But upon closer inspection, the clues become apparent.
We scanned mainstream social channels—X, Reddit, Telegram, market websites, and even news sources—and found no substantial positive news or project updates in the past 12 hours. In other words, this price surge is completely lacking fundamental support.
What’s more concerning is the community reaction. On these platforms, there are almost no related discussions, and the sentiment index is basically zero. No one is spreading the word, following the tren

Looking from the high ground of the crypto market, two forces are in confrontation — one is the increasingly clear regulatory framework, and the other is the continuous movement of whales deep within the market. In between, there are also traders fighting with leverage.
Recently, an interesting event happened on the chain. A holder who had not moved assets in 14 years suddenly woke up, and 80,000 Bitcoins (about $9 billion) began moving toward trading channels. Logically, such a large sell pressure would trigger market panic — historical data shows that a unilateral sell of this scale usually

At 3 a.m., when I got the latest ETH data, I almost threw my coffee cup. Not because of how crazy the rally was, but because of the hidden tricks in this round of market—99% of retail investors haven't even realized it yet.
Last night's market movements were truly explosive. ETH suddenly moved abnormally in mainstream trading markets, and at the same time, news about Intel pouring $200 million in a single day to buy up was flooding the headlines. Far away, gold directly broke through the $4,500 ceiling. Trump was also not idle; late at night, he posted a message directly criticizing global ris

There have been quite a few interesting rumors in the crypto world lately, and the most widely circulated piece of news recently can be called the "ridiculous ceiling": Former LUNA founder Do Kwon, during his detention, actually hid a hardware wallet containing 10,000 mainstream coins in a place even prison guards wouldn't think of.
At first glance, my initial reaction to this news was to burst out laughing. But after laughing, I felt a bit sentimental—why can such obviously unsubstantiated rumors still ferment wildly within the community? Thinking carefully, the logic behind it is actually wo

Everyone is watching ETH's intraday chart, debating whether to cut losses or not, but no one notices that a certain "hidden master" has already completed a beautiful arbitrage. Recently, after checking the data, I discovered that it was actually a pension fund account executing the trades, and their method was so steady, precise, and ruthless that it made people exclaim they are truly experienced.
What exactly happened? About six hours ago, this account suddenly moved, directly clearing 5180.87 ETH, locking in profits within the $3002-3019 range. The net profit was nearly $230,000. But that’s

Who will be the last laugh on the 2026 market stage?
Gold's performance this year has indeed been crazy. COMEX prices broke through $4,500 per ounce, with a year-to-date increase of 70%, marking the strongest annual performance in 45 years. And what about Bitcoin, often touted as "digital gold"? It’s still struggling near $88,000, down nearly 30% from its October all-time high.
Interestingly, even Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell commented: The true competitor of Bitcoin is gold; fundamentally, both are safe-haven assets—one physical, one virtual. So the question is—will gold continue to do

Observing the trends of BTC and ETH, the 4-hour chart shows that prices are still oscillating within a downward channel, with weak bearish characteristics remaining evident.
Although there have been some bullish rebounds during the trading process, the rebound magnitude has always been limited, appearing more like technical rebounds during a continuous decline, lacking substantial upward momentum.
From a technical perspective, the Bollinger Bands are continuously widening, with the middle and lower bands moving downward in sync. More importantly, the candlestick arrangement exhibits typical be

The real killer in the market is not direct crashes, but often those that are indefinitely delayed. Mt. Gox pushing the payout deadline from 2025 to 2026 may seem like it won't immediately break BTC prices, but in reality, it's like a thorn stabbing into the heart of liquidity: no one knows when that supply will hit the market or how much, and this uncertainty makes people uneasy. Hedging positions are closed early, risk appetite sharply declines, and large funds flock into USD assets, waiting passively.
This is the core issue — you're trapped in a torturous "semi-combat state." You can't full

ZKC Futures(ZKCUSDT), FIL Futures(FILUSDT) market fluctuations are intense, but behind the scenes, it's a "clash of ice and fire" in global regulation.
This week, the Web3 community has been lively. Hong Kong and Russia have taken action simultaneously but followed completely different paths. Hong Kong announced that it will issue a stablecoin license early next year, while Russia directly declared that "Bitcoin can never be used for payments"—the choices of these two countries are like painting a map of global crypto regulation.
Hong Kong represents the typical "embrace" camp. The new framewo

After spending some time in the contract market, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon.
Beginners ask, "How much can I make this wave?" while the ones who last the longest always ask first, "How much can I最多错到哪里？"
The difference in these two mindsets determines whether you make a quick profit and run or can stand firm in this market for the long term.
I've seen too many traders who, after ten correct calls in a row, see their accounts grow steadily, and their confidence swells. But in the last trade, they fail to set a stop-loss, not only giving back all previous profits but also losing thei

How can retail investors get on board beautifully?
Behind the support from Wall Street giants, the turning point where Bitcoin transforms from a niche asset to a mainstream allocation is imminent. But opportunities and risks are often two sides of the same coin, and this must be carefully considered.
"Bitcoin has long ceased to be purely speculative; it is now a standard component of modern investment portfolios." When a leading global asset management firm positioned Bitcoin alongside U.S. Treasuries and tech giants at a high-end forum, the entire market heard a clear signal.
As a market obse

The way on-chain liquidity is obtained is undergoing a transformation. There's an interesting project worth paying attention to — it has built a universal collateral infrastructure that allows various assets to unlock new value on the blockchain.
The core logic is actually simple. You deposit different assets as collateral, whether they are digital tokens or tokenized real-world assets, and the system will generate stable liquidity for you. Specifically, you'll receive USDf — an over-collateralized synthetic USD that can be used directly for trading or other on-chain operations.
What's the coo
