📈 Bitcoin (BTC): Breaks $100,000, aiming for $200,000?
As of May 21, the price of Bitcoin has surpassed $100,000, reaching approximately $105,000, up 12% from the 'realized price' of $93,266, reflecting the market's strong profitability. Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci predicts that Bitcoin will reach $180,000 to $200,000 by the end of 2025, benefiting from increased global adoption and rising ETF demand. Additionally, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has changed his stance, allowing clients to purchase Bitcoin, marking an increase in traditional financial institutions' acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

⚡ Solana (SOL): Strong rebound, DeFi demand driving up prices.
Solana's price rose from $159.69 to $173.03 in mid-May, an increase of 6.3%, mainly benefiting from increased DeFi activity and improved technical indicators. If it breaks through the $175 resistance level, it may further rise to $183. (CoinDesk, CoinDCX)
🐸 Meme Coin Craze: TRUMP Coin attracts attention; investment must be cautious.
The meme coin market remains hot in 2025, with market capitalization growing over 500% in 2024. Among them, TRUMP Coin attracts attention due to activities related to former President Trump but also raises regulatory and ethical concerns. Additionally, other meme coins such as Troller Cat ($TCAT) and Just a Chill Guy ($CHILLGUY) are also performing actively in the market. However, investors must be wary of 'rug pull' scams and avoid losses from chasing hot trends. (Brave New Coin, WIRED, The Times of India, New York Post)

Bitcoin's strong performance, Ethereum's technological upgrades, BNB's ecological support, and Solana's rebound all provide opportunities for investors.
