The whole world is rising, but your coins are falling?


The real danger might not have even started…
I have a friend who cleared all his positions at the end of last year and went to buy gold and small-cap US stocks. Last night, he showed me his returns and casually said, “The secret to making money now is ABC—Anything But Crypto.” At that moment, I felt like I had just eaten yesterday’s leftovers, stuck and frustrated.
The data is truly eye-opening: gold has risen over 60% this year, silver soared 210%, the Russell 2000 index of US small caps has been up for 11 consecutive days, and the ChiNext 50 in China has gained 15% in a month. And Bitcoin? It’s been lingering around the $100,000 mark for three months, recently with five consecutive down days, dropping from 98,000 to 91,000.
Something’s not right, too wrong. When the SEC approves ETFs, Wall Street embraces crypto, and national strategic reserves are in place, Bitcoin still feels like an outsider, watching other markets throw a party. There are three reasons:
Bitcoin is a “warning system”: It’s directly driven by global liquidity and often peaks or bottoms before other risk assets. Its stagnation might indicate that the upward momentum in other markets is also running out.
The world is “pumping liquidity”: The Fed’s balance sheet reduction (QT) and the Bank of Japan’s rate hikes are tightening two major sources of liquidity. When the market lacks funds, assets like Bitcoin, which tend to rise with liquidity, naturally struggle to fly.
The world is “breaking up”: Trump’s series of actions have pushed the world into a gray zone of localized conflicts and a “new Cold War.” This uncertainty causes large funds to instinctively flee high-risk assets like Bitcoin.
But are the rises in gold and US stocks truly healthy “bulls”? No, that’s “national will” dominating: Central banks buying gold is a vote of no confidence in the dollar’s credit; stock market gains are driven by policies like AI domestication and industrial autonomy. Their logic has diverged from the decentralized, globalized crypto market.
At this moment, the most dangerous thing is blindly chasing after those “hot” assets. When everyone thinks “besides crypto, everything can make money,” and cash holdings hit a record low, that’s often when you should be most cautious. Historically, Bitcoin has rebounded violently after four instances of extreme oversold conditions (RSI falling below 30) relative to gold. Now, it’s the fourth.
So, what should ordinary people do? Between two extremes—holding onto highly volatile Bitcoin or chasing already hot sovereign assets—is there a smarter, more stable middle path?
The answer is yes. This is the core significance of protocols like @lista_dao: they allow you to avoid painful choices between “holding spot assets” and “chasing hot trends,” instead providing an “all-weather” asset appreciation framework.
Simply put, ListaDAO lets you over-collateralize assets like BTC, ETH, and others to mint a stable, USD-pegged interest-bearing asset called lisUSD.
It solves the “cannot hold” problem: the high collateralization rate ensures your core positions remain safe even during extreme volatility, avoiding panic-driven sell-offs at the bottom.
It solves the “idle funds” problem: the minted lisUSD can be immediately integrated into the ecosystem to generate steady returns. This means that while Bitcoin consolidates and other markets heat up, your assets aren’t lying idle—they’re continuously generating cash flow.
It keeps you engaged without anxiety: you don’t need to judge when Bitcoin’s bottom will arrive, nor chase after assets on the verge of a bubble. By building such a “productive position,” you can maintain exposure to the crypto future while earning tangible returns, patiently waiting for market rotations.
History shows that after extreme divergence, a sharp mean reversion often follows. When “ABC” becomes a consensus, it’s the best time to assess the health of your asset allocation. @lista_dao offers not just a financial tool but a mindset: “building order amid chaos, locking in certainty amid uncertainty.”
Don’t blindly follow the hype when others are excited, nor completely exit when the market is quiet. Use the smartest tools to lay a solid financial foundation for your beliefs. #欧美关税风波冲击市场 #日本国债突现抛售风暴

The crypto market probably won't take off until the second half of the year at the earliest, with no expectations driving it now.
