《Bitwise Bullish, Secretly Reducing Positions? The Two Faces of Institutional Belief》
Brothers, in the past two days, Bitwise's CIO has made statements on CNBC:
'Retail investors are extremely desperate, but institutions are still increasing their allocation to Bitcoin.' There is no doubt that BTC may reach new highs this year, with a target range of 125000~130000.
Sounds exciting, right? But the question arises - are they really increasing their positions? Or are they just talking about belief while reducing their holdings?
1. Behind the shout of 'new highs': emotional washing, rather than a declaration of belief
Let's first look at a few key data sets 👇
📊 Price performance:
Bitcoin has fallen from 118000 to 99000 in the past three weeks, a decline of nearly 16%;
Ethereum has fallen from 4100 to 3550 during the same period, a decrease of 13.4%.
《MMT: The Worst 'Counter Hedging' Scheme Ever, Even KOLs Became Fuel》
Brothers, this wave of $MMT's operations, It can be considered the pinnacle of financial art in the crypto world.
📈 Opening price: 0.3U. It seems unremarkable, But - the project party did not give out the coins.
Yes, you read that right: The private placement coins have not been distributed, and the airdrops have not been issued. No one could sell off, no one could cash out, the circulating supply was squeaky clean.
Thus, MMT quietly rose to 1U. At this point, the savvy KOLs and private placement players began to sense something was wrong: "Coins not in hand, I need to hedge first!"
So they collectively went to open short positions to hedge risks. But brothers, this is precisely the starting point of the trap.
💣 The project party used their hedging funds - countering as fuel,
The Fall of the Legendary Whale: The Myth of 14 Consecutive Wins, Died in the Hands of Leverage
Brothers, that legendary whale who 'hit the mark 14 times' completely blew up this morning.
On-chain data shows: All his long positions on Hyperliquid were forcibly liquidated, Cumulative loss of about 40 million dollars. From October 24th to now, the win rate has dropped from 100% to 77.7%.
Liquidation point? At ETH 3120 dollars. And at that time the market— BTC dropped below 100,000, ETH tested 3057. There wasn't even a chance to catch a breath.
💥 This is a typical case of 'leverage kill.'
Let's break down the logic of this disaster:

Bamboo Summer's Latest Judgment: Bitcoin is Going Through the 'Most Intense' Type of Fluctuation

Is the U.S. going to build a 'Strategic Bitcoin Reserve'? Is this real madness or a grand strategy?
Brothers, it's here— U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis just made a statement: "Establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) is the only solution to the national debt." And she publicly supports the Trump administration in promoting this plan.
This statement carries a lot of information.
It is important to know that the U.S. national debt is approaching 39 trillion dollars, The interest expense alone exceeds 1.3 trillion dollars a year, which is higher than the defense budget. The dollar is inflating, and the debt is exploding; the Treasury's calculations are almost smoking.
And Lummis's point is very simple: Since the dollar is deteriorating in inflation, let's use Bitcoin as the "new gold".

Watches worth millions on his wrist;
Diamond-encrusted Rolex, Ferrari, LV coat;
He has publicly said, 'I understand marketing better than CZ.'

Binance Alpha Risk Control New Regulations: Quickly Check if You Have Done Any of These Things!
Brothers, The Alpha risk control system has finally taken serious measures. This time, it’s not just about banning a few accounts; it's directly conducting a **“behavioral cleansing”**. What it aims to filter out are not “violators,” but rather—those who contribute nothing, generate no traffic, and make no transactions—so-called ‘sheep’ accounts. ⸻ 🧩 The core of everything is the “credit score.” Don't be fooled by the complexity of those regulations; in fact, it's one sentence— the system has started quantifying “who is a real person and who is just exploiting benefits.” Each Alpha account has a credit score of 100 points. Falling below 95 will put you on the risk control list. Falling below 70 will result in an immediate ban.
