This concept is inspiring for developers and enterprises, demonstrating that future trust models will rely on communities rather than intermediaries.

Many novice investors have high expectations for high-dividend stocks but are confused about the stock price changes on the ex-dividend date. Although theoretically the stock price should decrease due to dividend payments, the actual situation is more complex, and market sentiment also plays a role. Whether the stock price is artificially inflated before the ex-dividend date, historical trends, and the company's fundamentals are all key factors in determining the right time to buy. Investors need to rationally assess and plan for tax costs to develop suitable investment strategies.

December 10, 2025, the Taiwanese dollar against the Japanese yen rises above 4.85, with travel to Japan and yen hedging demand warming up simultaneously. But do you know? Different currency exchange methods can have cost differences of over NT$2000. This article compares four mainstream currency exchange channels in detail and uses bank exchange rates to help you find the most cost-effective way to exchange for Japanese yen.
Why is it worth paying attention to exchanging yen now
The Japanese yen has become an essential option in Taiwanese people's foreign currency portfolios, not just because of travel needs.
Travel and daily applications
Popular destinations like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto still have many cash transaction scenarios (credit card penetration is only 60%). When purchasing Japanese cosmetics, clothing, and anime merchandise, many purchasing agents require direct yen payments. People planning to study or work in Japan in the future can lock in exchange rates by exchanging money in advance, avoiding additional costs caused by sudden fluctuations.
Investment and hedging value
The Japanese yen is listed as one of the world's three major safe-haven currencies (the other two are

The Trump administration's economic advisors predict a robust 3% GDP growth, advocating for interest rate cuts to sustain growth amid easing inflation pressures. They warn that maintaining high rates could hinder growth, particularly in sensitive sectors, and seek a leadership aligned with a growth-focused monetary policy. Market reactions to these signals could influence liquidity and cryptocurrency trends.

President Trump is advancing new economic measures, including direct payments to taxpayers ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 to stimulate domestic consumption. This program will be funded primarily through revenue from increased tariffs, aiming to boost individual spending and overall economic activity.

This change clarifies the commitment to focusing on the development of the $SHIB token.
Market-positive price increase

Amid active fund transfers by institutional investors, Ethereum's spot ETF experienced significant outflows of $72.06 million on December 31. Despite this, cumulative interest in Ethereum investment products remains high, indicating a structural demand.

Investor Garrett Jin maintains a bullish stance on Bitcoin and Ethereum, setting price targets of $106,000 and $4,500, respectively. Despite facing a floating loss of $42.55 million, his commitment may influence market sentiment and indicate confidence in a mid-term recovery.

MetaPlanet is positioned to leverage Japan's unique economic challenges, with Bitcoin gaining 1,704% in yen since 2020. Despite a struggling treasury sector, it holds a strong BTC reserve but faces stock price pressures.

The Basic Logic of Leveraged Trading
Many traders underestimate the risks when engaging in leveraged trading. Let's start with the simplest example to understand.
Suppose the price of Bitcoin is $50,000 per coin. You have two options: the first is to buy one coin directly with $50,000, which is regular spot trading. The second is to use leverage, requiring only $5,000 (10% margin), with the trading platform covering the remaining $45,000. This is a tenfold leverage trade.
It sounds very cost-effective, right? But the risks behind it are often overlooked. That $45,000 is not a gift but a loan, and you must repay the full amount when closing the position.
Leverage Amplifies Gains and Losses
If Bitcoin rises to $55,000 (a 10% increase), and you sell and repay the $45,000 loan, your net profit is $10,000, which doubles your $5,000 principal. This is the attractive aspect of leverage.
But in the opposite

After experiencing the life-and-death test of the 2022 crypto market, some key players who control the flow of wealth have made the same choice: to turn their attention to the oldest store of value in human civilization—gold.
This is not just simple asset allocation; it is a reshuffling of power. Central banks, Asian billionaires, and new crypto elites are redefining what "security" means in the gold market.
Three Layers of the Financial World
By 2025, gold prices will surge past $4,000 per ounce, with an annual increase of over 50%, making it the best-performing major asset class globally. But the driving force behind this rally is far more complex than traditional safe-haven demand.
The first layer involves the chess game of central banks. In recent years, central banks worldwide have adopted a "buy on dips" strategy, treating gold as a foundational asset for de-dollarization and hedging geopolitical risks. Their logic is straightforward: in the worst-case scenario, can gold be exchanged for food, foreign exchange, or other assets?

Bitcoin suddenly reached $90,331 before Thanksgiving 2025, breaking the downward trend of the past six years. Multiple factors drove this rebound, including a rally in US stocks, rising expectations of interest rate cuts, and technical rebounds. However, some analysts remain cautious about the sustained rally, pointing out that liquidity pressures and policy uncertainties could threaten market stability. The future trajectory of Bitcoin depends on market sentiment and macroeconomic changes.

When Ethereum falls below a key support level, the derivatives market is like a hole has been poked in it. According to the latest data, as of press time, ETH trading price is approximately $3.12K, up 0.59% in the past 24 hours, but this rebound momentum is far from enough to heal the previous wounds.
Liquidation Wave Erupts: The Derivatives Market Descends into Chaos
Ethereum's recent decline was not sudden, but the speed still caught many leveraged traders off guard. When the price dropped from $3,400 to around $3,000, the entire ultra-liquid derivatives ecosystem instantly plunged into chaos.
According to on-chain data tracking from CoinGlass, spot trading volume surged by 53.5% to $87.15 billion, while open interest plummeted by over 55% to $37.67 billion. This contrasting data set signals that a large number of holders are hurriedly exiting their positions rather than building new ones.
The surge in liquidation numbers is even more shocking.

In the annual rebalancing of the Nasdaq 100, Strategy was unexpectedly retained, although it has essentially become a store of value for Bitcoin. The company holds a large amount of Bitcoin and attempts to change market perception through financial operations.
