The value of cryptocurrencies has skyrocketed. Bitcoin has risen 54% over the past year, recently surging to a historic high of nearly $112,000, but some of the gains have retreated due to profit-taking and large holders trading at high levels. Nevertheless, supported by favorable regulatory developments and increased optimism about institutional adoption, prices remain near historical highs. Reports indicate that the amount of cryptocurrency held in the UK has seen the largest year-on-year growth among surveyed countries, with the proportion of respondents indicating they hold cryptocurrency rising from 18% last year to 24%, while Singapore has maintained the highest cryptocurrency holding rate globally over the past two years.

The U.S. establishes a Bitcoin reserve, but the cryptocurrency community is 'very disappointed.'
On March 7 local time, White House cryptocurrency director David Sacks stated on X that President Trump has signed an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, but it seems to differ from previous expectations in the cryptocurrency community.
Sacks stated on X that this reserve will be capitalized with the Bitcoins owned by the U.S. government, which were obtained through criminal or civil asset forfeiture, and the government will not purchase additional Bitcoins. Some analysts believe these details suggest that this order is more about 'storage' of cryptocurrency rather than 'reserve.' 'Reserve' implies that the government would purchase cryptocurrency, while 'storage' means merely holding cryptocurrency obtained through criminal or civil asset forfeiture.
The cryptocurrency market's brief celebration, Bitcoin falls over 9% in 24 hours, Trump plans to promote cryptocurrency strategic reserves.
#美国加密战略储备 On March 2 local time, U.S. President Trump dropped a bombshell on his social media platform Truth Social, announcing that the U.S. would create a cryptocurrency strategic reserve, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as the core, alongside smaller but riskier tokens like Solana (SOL), XRP linked to Ripple, and Cardano (ADA). After the news broke, the named cryptocurrencies soared in price. Data from cryptocurrency data and analysis company CoinGecko shows that hours after Trump's post, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies rose by about 10%, exceeding $300 billion.
#代币储备 Short-term Carnival vs Long-term Test** Trump's 'Token Reserve' strategy may act as a catalyst for market sentiment in the short term, especially when combined with policy expectations and the halving cycle, potentially pushing Bitcoin to higher price levels. However, the actual implementation capability of his high-profile initiatives is in doubt; if policy commitments are not fulfilled or the token mechanism lacks transparency, the market may quickly shift to a cautious stance. Investors should be wary of speculative volatility while also paying attention to the refinement of regulatory frameworks and the actual progress of strategic reserves. $ETH
Everyone is looking forward to a rate cut, thinking that everything will be fine as long as it is cut. If it is really that simple, I don’t think the Fed lacks such a broad mind. The fundamental solution to the problem is to improve productivity and dilute the accumulated debt. Just as the top companies on the Nasdaq are sought after by funds this year, it also means that investors are looking forward to the birth of new quality productivity to hedge the dependence on financial instruments.
Media analysis pointed out that this wave of selling seems to be caused by a "time-triggered" algorithmic program that triggered sell orders at the same time in the past 7 trading days (10 a.m. Eastern Time every day◇just after the U.S. market opened). It is worth noting that this algorithm is still running on weekends, which may lead to high-frequency trading (HFT)-driven selling and shorting, forcing leveraged long investors to admit defeat. Data shows that the crypto "market maker" JumpTrading is liquidating hundreds of millions of dollars in positions, trying to aggressively reprice cryptocurrencies by selling and shorting billions of dollars of various cryptocurrencies during the market hours with the worst liquidity, while repeatedly eating up buy orders to ensure the worst execution price.

Lily Liu believes that three conditions are needed: high-performance blockchain, asset flow, and developer community, and only Solana can meet them all at the same time.

"Trump's Return: Bitcoin's Next Spring? Speaking of the reasons for this round of rise, we have to mention TrumpTrade. In order to attract more young votes in the currency circle, especially members of the cryptocurrency community, Republican candidate Trump has clearly expressed his support for cryptocurrency. In early June, Trump met with leaders of several Bitcoin mining companies at Mar-a-Lago, not only expressing his support for cryptocurrency, but also promising that if he is re-elected president, he will become an advocate of the cryptocurrency mining industry and ensure that the remaining Bitcoins are "Made in the USA". The latest news shows that Trump plans to attend the end of next month Bernstein analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra pointed out in a report that as the prospects of the Republican Party improve, the party is increasingly inclined to support cryptocurrency. They believe that Republicans see a friendly stance on the cryptocurrency industry as the key to winning voter and financial support. The report wrote: "The Republican Party not only sees cryptocurrency as an important voter group, but also sees it as a meaningful source of funds. If the election sentiment leans towards the Republican Party, cryptocurrency will eventually become the main beneficiary of the 'Trump market'. " This view is further reinforced by Standard Chartered Bank's forecast. They predict that as the US election approaches, the price of Bitcoin may reach $100,000. If Trump is successfully re-elected, the price of Bitcoin may even soar to $150,000.#以太坊ETF批准预期 $BTC
The vast majority of the cryptocurrency market’s “double super and multi-strong” have little value
Let’s take a bird’s eye view of the cryptocurrency market. According to incomplete statistics, there are 9,929 cryptocurrencies in the world, with a total market value of approximately $1.72 trillion. However, there are two points to note here. First, the price of cryptocurrencies fluctuates greatly, and their market value only has an order of magnitude significance, so people don’t need to pay too much attention to specific numbers. For example, at the peak on November 10, 2021, the total market value of cryptocurrencies once reached 3 trillion US dollars (see Figure 4-2), when the price of Bitcoin reached 68,519 US dollars and the price of Ethereum reached 4,852 US dollars. However, as the price fell, the total market value of cryptocurrencies fell by more than half. Second, although there are many cryptocurrencies, the vast majority of them have almost no value and no trading volume. Only a very small number of cryptocurrencies are actively traded and are worth a lot of money.

Okay, don’t like it, investing requires consensus What is wealth? This question was easy to answer in the past: wealth is valuables such as land, real estate, and jewelry, plus metal currencies such as gold and silver. What is wealth today? In modern times, after the development of the financial industry, the concept of wealth has been expanded. The profitability of an economic unit, including a person, has also become wealth. For example, if a company can generate a profit of 1 million yuan a year, even if it does not own many properties and production equipment, the company may be worth tens of millions of yuan; if a player can bring tens of millions of yuan in revenue to the club in the future, his own value will already be several million yuan.
