Bitcoin breaks new highs, altcoins seem to rebound, but in reality, institutions are withdrawing from small-cap coins — on the Solana network, 870,000 MEME coins exist, and less than 4% have survived for 30 days. Remember these iron rules:

First, avoid pitfalls! Don't even touch these three types of coins.

• Air zombie coins: The team has run away, there’s no activity on-chain, and they rely entirely on bots to pump prices, like a certain MEME coin that surged 300% last week only to drop to zero immediately after — entering means being a bag holder.

• High leverage trap coins: Some projects on Solana deliberately inflate the "funding rate," luring shorts into liquidation before crashing the price back down. The liquidation rate for shorts can triple within a week, harsher than a casino.

• Policy high-risk coins: The U.S. has just banned algorithmic stablecoins (like DAI), and Hong Kong requires stablecoins to be licensed. Touching these is like clashing head-on with regulators, with risks greater than trading futures.

Next, seize opportunities! These three types of projects can hedge risks.

• Compliant leaders: Stablecoins like USDC, which are fully backed by USD, are set to soar. Once the legislation is passed, the stablecoin market could reach $2 trillion, and DeFi protocols like Aave and Curve will also see growth.

• Technologically strong: For instance, HBAR can handle 10,000 transactions per second with only a 1-cent fee, and it has the backing of Google; STX, as a Bitcoin L2, has deployed 1,400 contracts in a month, potentially activating funding for the Bitcoin ecosystem in the future.

• ETF concept coins: The ETF approvals for SOL and XRP are entering a sprint phase. If approved, they could rise by over 40%, but be cautious as the SEC may classify them as "securities," potentially leading to issues at any time.

Final reminder: Don’t go all in! Buy in batches + protect against crashes.

• Use a “pyramid adding position” strategy: Start with a 10% position to test the waters, add more if it rises, and average down if it falls — don’t throw everything in at once.

• Buy options for hedging: Spend a little on put options; if the coin price drops by 20%, the option can help you recover 30%, which is like getting insurance.

• Monitor policy nodes: For example, watch for Fed interest rate cuts or Trump’s tariff policies. Ambush related coins three days in advance and sell when the news lands — don’t get too attached.

The current market feels like “the darkness before dawn,” with Bitcoin sucking up most of the funds, and altcoin liquidity hitting the bottom. But opportunities often hide in panic. Remember: a true bull market isn’t about widespread gains but rather the process of eliminating air coins. Will the altcoins you hold survive until the end?
