BTC dips back to 87,000, institutional staking of 74,000 ETH, scams prompting regulation! Today’s “Mainland Exploration” full guide

“All explorers of the crypto mainland, please receive today’s ‘Mainland Geological Emergency Briefing’. According to data sent back by the official exploration team, five key geological activities are happening simultaneously beneath our feet:

【Signal A: Core Sector Vibration】

The mainland’s core “Bitcoin Mountain Range” experienced a fierce energy release (option settlement) and has fallen back to the 87,000 USD baseline seeking support. The mountain remains unstable.

【Signal B: Resource Giants’ Deployment】

Top mining companies
"Bitmine" announced this morning that they have pledged 74,880 ETH to the “Ethereum Geothermal Power Plant,” continuing to be optimistic about its long-term energy output.

【Signal C: Hidden Resource Acquisition】

A resource giant has quietly purchased 30,003 AAVE rare crystals over the past four days, at an average price of $156.65, building strategic reserves.

【Signal D: Mainland Legislation Outlook】

2026 Mainland governance framework preview: The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) are fiercely contesting influence. New legislation may reshape mining rules.

【Signal E: Security Incident Warning】

External “Pakistan Region” dismantled a large scam gang, involving huge amounts of money. This may prompt the entire mainland to strengthen exploration licensing and capital flow regulation.

Core trembles, giants hoard, laws change, security tightens. Which signal do you trust? I am [Your Chief Geological Analyst]. Today, I won’t do news reporting; I will be your ‘Exploration Report Interpreter’. In 5 minutes, turn these five scattered reports into a clear “Crypto Mainland Three-Layer Exploration Status Map,” showing where aftershocks are dangerous, where resources are abundant, and how you should adjust your exploration strategy now.

If you want to get the exploration map immediately, comment ‘Map’ below. Let’s start the analysis.

【Part Two: Exploration Map Decoding · 4-18 minutes】

( Status: Using geological exploration scenarios, three-layer breakdown )

“Let’s build a model from the surface to the deep layers, thinking like an exploration scientist:

Layer One: Surface Plate Layer (Price and Market Structure) — Deciding the Safe Zone

* Signal A (BTC dips back to 87K): This is 【Red Aftershock Warning】🔴. The core mountain range, after a major energy release (option settlement), has fallen back to test support, indicating that bulls and bears are regrouping and fighting for balance here. 87K will become the most important ‘geological fault line’ in the short term. Pay close attention to whether ‘support collapse’ occurs.

Layer Two: Underground Resource Layer (On-chain Funds and Staking) — Revealing Giants’ Intentions

* Signal B (Institutional staking of 74K ETH): This is 【Blue Energy Investment Card】🔵. Institutions are staking large amounts of ETH, not for short-term speculation, but for long-term locking of resources to earn stable income (interest). This indicates: 1. They are long-term optimistic about the Ethereum network; 2. They tend to reduce liquidity, engaging in ‘ballast stone’ style allocation. This is a ‘vote with feet’ for the Ethereum ecosystem.
* Signal C (Whale hoarding 30K AAVE): This is 【Orange Strategic Reserve Card】🟠. Continually collecting AAVE at relatively low prices, indicating resource giants believe its current value is undervalued or see its future as a core player in DeFi governance. A high-recognition ‘smart money’ signal.

Layer Three: Atmosphere and Legislation Layer (Regulatory and Security Environment) — Deciding Exploration Permits and Costs

* Signal D (SEC and CFTC power struggle): This is 【Purple Rule Evolution Card】🟣. The power game between regulators will, in the long run, make rules clearer, but short-term it increases policy uncertainty. The 2026 outlook reminds us to reserve cognitive space for possible rule changes.
* Signal E (Scam case triggers regulatory attention): This is 【Yellow Compliance Tightening Card】🟡. Security incidents will accelerate regulatory measures, possibly increasing KYC/AML compliance costs, which may suppress some market activity in the short term but benefit industry purification in the long run.

【Comprehensive Assessment of Exploration Status】

Current pattern: The seismic activity at the surface core zone has not subsided (price seeking bottom), underground resources are quietly being locked and stored by giants (funds stationed), and atmospheric rule battles and security alerts coexist (regulation tightening).

Core contradiction: Short-term price risks versus medium- and long-term capital deployment form a stark contrast. Your exploration strategy should be: while avoiding aftershocks, study the resource maps of giants, and prepare for upcoming rule changes.

Three Survival Steps for Explorers ·

“Understanding the map means not blindly drilling. During the ‘aftershock’ and ‘stockpiling’ overlapping phases, act like a seasoned exploration captain and execute these three steps:

Step One: Define ‘Aftershock Danger Zones’ and Establish Safe Camps

1. Anchor the line: Treat BTC 87K as a temporary ‘safe camp boundary’. If the price stays above it, proceed cautiously; if it breaks below, consider shrinking the camp (reduce positions) and wait for the turbulence to settle.
2. Action discipline: Until the mountain range firmly stabilizes above 90K, avoid high-leverage ‘blasting operations’ (opening high-multiplier contracts) at danger zones.

Step Two: Study ‘Giants’ Resource Map’ and Mark Potential Mines

1. Key markers: Add ETH (institutional staking) and AAVE (whale hoarding) — these ‘resource points’ marked by giants with real capital — to your in-depth research list.
2. Research approach: Your task is not to follow the trend immediately but to understand their logic. For example, how do ETH’s staking yields and ecosystem development look? Is AAVE’s position in DeFi solid? While others hoard, you accumulate knowledge.

Step Three: Prejudge ‘Legislation Trends’ and Adjust Exploration Permits

1. Focus on movements: Recognize that regulation (SEC/CFTC) and security (global anti-scam efforts) will become increasingly important variables. When choosing ‘exploration targets’ (investment projects) in the future, consider their compliance clarity.
2. Long-term preparation: Gradually concentrate assets into mainstream, relatively compliant ‘Mainland core areas’ (like BTC, ETH) and leading applications, reducing the risk of ‘mining rights revoked’ due to regulatory uncertainty.

Summary: Avoid aftershocks, study resource maps, watch the wind. In complex geological activity, only surviving exploration teams can dig into the next wave of wealth.
