3 Billion Dollar Bet on Bitcoin! Wall Street Teams Up with Crypto Giants to Disrupt the Crypto World?
The crypto community is in an uproar! The veteran Wall Street investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald has joined forces with giants like Tether, SoftBank, and Bitfinex, pouring 3 billion dollars into establishing a Bitcoin acquisition company called '21 Capital'. As traditional financial powerhouses step into the arena, a storm that could rewrite the rules of the game is on the horizon!
This epic investment's capital layout is nothing short of stunning — Tether has put in 1.5 billion dollars in Bitcoin, SoftBank has invested 900 million dollars, and Bitfinex has followed up with 600 million. As early as January 2025, Cantor's fund had prepared 200 million as a 'first-mover advantage', and will subsequently increase its Bitcoin holdings through convertible bonds (350 million) and private equity (200 million). It is noteworthy that Bitcoin is valued at 85,000 dollars per coin in this plan, with the company's stock priced at 10 dollars per share. Although the deal has yet to be finalized, it has ignited the market's wild expectations for an 'institutional bull market'.
Benchmarking MicroStrategy: Creating a New Model for 'Bitcoin Public Companies'
21 Capital's ambition is simple and straightforward — to replicate MicroStrategy's 'Bitcoin hoarding listing' model, becoming a publicly traded platform for pure Bitcoin assets. This means traditional investors can buy stocks to indirectly bet on Bitcoin without dealing with private keys or worrying about volatility. Compared to companies that 'part-time hoard Bitcoin', its pure asset-holding model aligns more closely with the United States' crypto-friendly policies and is seen as a 'barometer' of institutional confidence.
The Butterfly Effect of 3 Billion Dollars: Is the Crypto World About to Change?
If the plan comes to fruition, 3 billion dollars in real capital will flow into the Bitcoin market — this is not just an injection of funds but a 'stamp of approval' from traditional finance on crypto assets. Compared to the current leading institution in Bitcoin hoarding, MicroStrategy, 21 Capital's capital scale and backing from giants can be considered a 'dimensional strike', potentially reshaping the market's perception of 'institutionalization of Bitcoin'. More importantly, Cantor had already launched a 2 billion dollar Bitcoin financing business in March 2025, and the establishment of this acquisition company marks a transition from 'lending services' to a comprehensive layout of 'asset holding'.
When Wall Street's capital game meets the myth of wealth creation in crypto, the birth of 21 Capital may just be the prologue. Regardless of success or failure, this 3 billion dollar bet has released a strong signal: traditional finance is knocking on the door of the crypto market with its own rules.
In the cryptocurrency field, Solana has recently shown outstanding performance, strongly entering the top three by market capitalization, shining brightly. What exactly has allowed it to rise against the odds, and what uncertainties lie ahead?
The key to Solana's emergence among numerous crypto projects lies in its technological advantages. Its unique consensus mechanism allows for transaction processing speeds far exceeding its peers, handling thousands of transactions per second with extremely low fees, providing a solid foundation for large-scale applications. Meanwhile, the Solana ecosystem is thriving, with applications in DeFi, NFTs, and more flourishing, attracting a large number of developers and funds, further solidifying its position.
Currently, Solana's popularity remains high, with vibrant community activity and a continuous stream of positive news. According to market data, its trading volume and user numbers are steadily increasing, and the price of SOL has also been on the rise. Some analysts even boldly predict that it is likely to hit even higher prices. But don't forget, Solana's development has not been smooth sailing. In the past, it faced technical challenges such as network congestion and security vulnerabilities, and has also been affected by market fluctuations and regulatory policies.
Behind Solana's recent popularity, there are also hidden concerns. The meme coin craze has brought traffic and funds but has also intensified the speculative atmosphere in the market. Once the hype subsides, can Solana maintain its growth trend? In addition, the cryptocurrency market is ever-changing, and new competitors may appear at any time. If Solana wants to remain ahead, it must continue to innovate.
Solana is a project with great potential, but it also comes with risks. For investors, Solana may represent an enticing adventure, but before entering, it is essential to think calmly and weigh the pros and cons.

Guangxi Liuzhou "1·01" Virtual Currency Involved in Tobacco Major Case Cracked: USDT Criminal Chain Destroyed! $SIGN $VIRTUAL 一起交流现货和meme On the early morning of New Year's Day 2025, heavy news came from Liuzhou, Guangxi: a major case involving illegal tobacco transactions using virtual currency "Tether (USDT)" has been successfully cracked! A criminal gang that had long been hidden deep in the dark web was uprooted, 12 suspects were arrested, and 84,400 illegal cigarettes were seized, with the case involving a transaction amount as high as 28,625 USDT, equivalent to about 21 million yuan. This marks the first significant victory in Guangxi's tobacco monopoly front against virtual currency-related tobacco crimes, demonstrating the powerful capability of technology-enabled combat against new types of crime!
The breakthrough in the case stemmed from 24/7 monitoring by the Liuzhou Tobacco Joint Command Data Center on September 28, 2024. The virtual currency tobacco trading situation perception system captured an abnormal USDT transaction from billions of data on the dark web, like a spark in the night, igniting the determination of the special task force. The Liuzhou Tobacco Bureau quickly joined forces with the public security department, mobilizing elite personnel to form a special task force, determined to tear apart this hidden criminal network.
The special task force used cutting-edge blockchain intelligent node analysis technology to deeply analyze 2 billion USDT transaction data and 220 million wallet addresses on the Tron blockchain, constructing a data lake of hundreds of millions, accurately locking in the flow of funds involved in the case. Following the unusually frequent transaction clues, investigators found that the involved fund flow reached over 30,000 USDT, linked to 7 wallet addresses, and locked in 2 key transaction hashes from overseas exchanges, successfully identifying the core accounts. Faced with the "invisibility" of anonymous wallets, the special task force uncovered the gang's disguise through data cleaning and real-name binding.
On November 30, 2024, the special task force accurately located the criminal hideout, unveiling a tobacco-related crime chain of "online matchmaking - virtual settlement - logistics distribution." The gang leaders Wu and Qin, among 12 others, surfaced. On January 1, 2025, a thunderous operation was launched, and all 12 suspects were arrested. In the interrogation room, suspect Huang lamented: "Thought USDT was foolproof, didn't expect to fall!"
Is the bull market coming? It feels like the big market has started to recover, and many altcoins have surged in the last few days. What coins is everyone waiting to pounce on?
### Countdown to the U.S. Debt Bomb! $6.5 Trillion in Debt Maturing in June, Experts Warn: A Nuclear-Level Financial Crisis Will Erupt 加入一起交流现货和meme The U.S. tariff storm is shaking the global market, but the real crisis is yet to come! The U.S. government's public debt, amounting to **$6.5 trillion (approximately NT$211 trillion)**, is set to mature in June. Investment expert 'Stockholding Equation' warned on Facebook that if the U.S. debt defaults, the global financial market may face a **nuclear-level collapse**, comparable to the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis!
**U.S. Debt Default = Global Financial Tsunami** 'Stockholding Equation' points out that U.S. debt has long been viewed as a low-risk safe-haven asset, heavily held by central banks, banks, insurance companies, and large funds around the world. Once a default occurs, the dollar will plummet, U.S. stocks will be sold off wildly, and the global market will suffer a catastrophic impact. The dollar's hegemonic status is in jeopardy, borrowing costs will soar, and it may even trigger a 'currency liquidation' crisis.
**Can Trump Save U.S. Debt?** Experts believe that the Trump administration will do whatever it takes to prevent a default, but the tariff turmoil has complicated the situation. Although the U.S. government can temporarily resolve the crisis by raising the debt ceiling and other means, this is merely 'drinking poison to quench thirst'; the power of the debt bomb continues to accumulate, and **an explosion is just a matter of time**.
**How Can Investors Protect Themselves?** In the face of a potential financial storm, investors need to be highly vigilant, re-examine asset allocation, and avoid risks related to U.S. debt and the dollar. The crisis may reshape the global financial landscape; are you ready?
Bitcoin May Break 100,000? 5 Data Points Reveal the Possibility of New Highs $BTC 加入一起讨论 Bitcoin has recently seen a fierce rally, soaring 11% from April 20 to 26, stabilizing at $94,000. Cointelegraph's analysis indicates that technical indicators, on-chain data, and institutional capital inflow suggest that Bitcoin may break 100,000 in May, potentially setting a new historical high! The following 5 charts will showcase the bullish logic:
1. Double Bottom Breakout, Target 100,000+ The daily chart shows Bitcoin forming a double bottom pattern, having broken the neck line at $87,643, with a target price directly aimed at $100,575. RSI remains bullish, with strong upward momentum.
2. Bullish Flag Pattern, Ready to Launch The 1-hour candlestick chart forms a bullish flag pattern, indicating a surge towards $100,900 after consolidation.
3. Descending Wedge Breakout, Targeting $102,270 The 3-day candlestick chart breaks the resistance at $94,000, with the descending wedge target price locked at $102,270.
4. Binance Heatmap: 100,000 Short “Magnet” Ignites Market CoinGlass data shows a dense concentration of short positions near $100,000, which could trigger a short squeeze, pushing prices higher.
5. On-chain Data + Institutional Support, Confidence Soars Glassnode shows that 87.3% of Bitcoin's circulating supply is profitable, up from 82.7% in March. The net inflow into U.S. stock ETFs reached $3.1 billion in a week, marking the second-highest in history, with institutional bullish sentiment running high. The correlation between Bitcoin and the S&P has dropped to 29%, highlighting its status as an independent asset.
Despite retail sentiment being cautious (market sentiment index at 54), the derivatives market has seen deleveraging, with short liquidations exceeding $450 million, and the 2-month futures premium rate rising to 6.5%, indicating clear bullish signals. With technical and fundamental factors resonating together, the chances of Bitcoin hitting 100,000 in May and challenging the historical high of $109,114 have significantly increased!
Trump Meme Coin $TRUMP Soars 85%, Dinner Promotion Sparks Impeachment Controversy 一起加入了解更多 Trump Meme Coin $TRUMP recently surged 85% due to a promotion at a private dinner, but is also mired in controversy. According to CoinDesk, Trump invited the top 220 holders to dinner on May 22, a move that Democratic lawmakers have accused of being 'selling presidential access,' potentially constituting impeachable offenses. Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff criticized this as 'impeachable behavior,' and California Senator Adam Schiff along with Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren jointly called for an ethics office investigation, questioning Trump's compliance with federal ethics regulations.
Despite facing accusations, the price of $TRUMP soared over 70% after the dinner news. However, the controversy does not end there. The U.S. consumer rights group Public Citizen previously filed a complaint with the Justice Department, alleging that Trump's issuance and promotion of the $TRUMP coin violates federal laws prohibiting officials from soliciting gifts. Investigations show that 80% of the coin’s share is held by Trump family business CIC Digital, which is fully controlled by a trust benefiting Trump himself. Additionally, a Chainalysis report revealed that 94% of $TRUMP and $MELANIA coins are held by only 40 wallets, raising suspicions of market manipulation.
Although the price of $TRUMP has rebounded strongly, it remains down 77% from its historical high and has just experienced the unlocking of $320 million worth of tokens, with another $780 million worth of 25.1% of the circulating supply set to unlock in the next three months, posing extremely high market volatility risks. Former White House Communications Director Scaramucci harshly criticized it as 'corrupt garbage coin,' while Trump administration's AI and cryptocurrency czar David Sacks argued that meme coins are collectibles and nothing wrong with that.
Under the pressures of legal risks, market manipulation doubts, and unlocking stress, can the fervent rise of $TRUMP continue? This meme coin storm is undoubtedly a dual gamble of wealth and controversy.
Swiss supermarket 'Scan to Pay' with Bitcoin, crypto payments sweep the globe! 加入了解更多资讯$FIS $PENGU At the Spar supermarket in Zug, Switzerland, there is a cool new way to check out — Bitcoin payment! This global retail giant has implemented instant transactions via the Lightning Network, allowing customers to easily complete payments by scanning a QR code and sending 'satoshis' (the smallest unit of Bitcoin). Simple operation, instant arrival, cryptocurrency payments are now free from complexity!
Global retail enters a new era Spar has 13,900 stores in 48 countries, serving 14.7 million customers daily, and is now the first to embrace Bitcoin payments in Switzerland's 'Crypto Valley' of Zug. According to BTCmap, there are already 1,030 stores in Switzerland accepting Bitcoin, and Spar's addition undoubtedly accelerates the mainstreaming of cryptocurrency. DFX Swiss announced that this service is now live on BTC Map, marking the opening of retail to crypto payments.
'Crypto Valley' leads global innovation Switzerland is not only a financial paradise but also a blockchain pioneer. The 'Crypto Valley' where Zug is located is valued at over $59.3 billion and has nurtured star projects like Ethereum and Cardano. In 2023, the city of Lugano even allowed municipal fees to be paid with Bitcoin! In such a friendly environment, Spar's Bitcoin payment pilot could sweep the nation and even influence global retail.
From supermarkets to the future: Bitcoin payments are unstoppable Experts point out that Spar's initiative could trigger a chain reaction, attracting more retailers to join the crypto payment camp. The simplified payment experience eliminates technical barriers, making Bitcoin as easy to use as credit cards. As consumer trust increases, the practical value of cryptocurrency will shine brightly. Switzerland's successful experiment could drive Bitcoin payments from supermarkets to the world, becoming an everyday choice on par with mobile payments.
Conclusion Spar supermarket's Bitcoin payment is not just a technological innovation, but also a milestone for cryptocurrency moving into the mainstream. In the future, scanning a QR code to buy a cup of coffee or pay a bill with Bitcoin may become as commonplace as swiping a card. The wave of crypto payments has begun; are you ready to embrace this retail revolution?
Bitcoin Bullish Return Last Week 点击加入了解 $FIS $PENGU Bitcoin experienced a significant rebound last week, with a cumulative increase of 10%. Senior analyst at Cointelegraph pointed out this morning (4/28) that as the new week begins, technical indicators remain bullish.
One reason for Bitcoin's surge last week may be related to a large influx of funds into the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF. Data from Farside Investors shows that the ETF had a net inflow of $3.06 billion last week, the second-highest in history.
Sina, co-founder of 21 Capital, predicts that Bitcoin will reach between $130,000 and $163,000 by the end of 2025; anonymous Bitcoin analyst apsk32 is even more optimistic, predicting that Bitcoin will rise above $200,000 in the fourth quarter of this year.
Upadhyay pointed out that Bitcoin's main support level on the daily chart is at the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of $88,619. If it can close above $95,000 this week, it is likely to challenge the $100,000 milestone.
This week, can Bitcoin maintain its bullish trend and break through the resistance above? Which altcoins might perform better during Bitcoin's rebound? Upadhyay named 4 altcoins and provided short-term support and resistance level analysis for reference.
Trump Coin ($TRUMP)
Upadhyay noted that Trump Coin ($TRUMP) broke through the resistance level of $12.45 on April 23 and managed to hold the retest of the breakout level on April 24.
From the daily trend, Trump Coin once rose above $16, attracting sellers, but the pullback was relatively small, indicating that there was buying interest during each minor dip.
If the bulls can push the price above $16 this week, it may further challenge $17.69, where bears are expected to build a strong defense. However, if the bulls break through strongly, it could soar to $19.60 and then reach $22.40.
If it can rebound from the support area, then $TRUMP may fluctuate between $11.56 and $16 for a while, but if it further breaks below the 20-day EMA ($10.73), it could accelerate selling pressure.
How to Earn $100,000 Through Predictive Market Arbitrage 加入一起交流市场现货和meme $PENGU $BMT $FIS In predictive markets, most people are busy gambling while I focus on arbitrage, earning $100,000 in two months from fragmented and inefficient markets. Here are my strategies to help you capture hidden risk-free profits.
Step 1: Understand the Rules and Identify Price Differences Predictive markets let you bet on the outcomes of events, such as “Will Ethereum break $5000 by the end of the year?” or “Will Kanye West issue a token?”. Different platforms often have pricing discrepancies for the same event due to user biases. For example, if platform A quotes “yes” at $0.4 and platform B quotes “no” at $0.55, buying both can lock in a profit of $0.05. This is arbitrage: not betting on outcomes, just earning from the price difference.
Step 2: Lock in Multi-Outcome Markets Multi-outcome markets (like the F1 Championship or the UK elections) are the easiest to encounter pricing errors. The ideal total probability should be 100%, but due to platform fees and user misjudgments, it often reaches 110%. I look for opportunities where the total price is below $1. For example, in a “next pope” market, buying all outcomes costs $0.979, ensuring a payout of $1, with a profit of $0.021 (2.1% risk-free return). I only choose opportunities with an annualized percentage yield (APY) over 60%, such as a 109.5% APY with a 7-day settlement.
Step 3: Race Against Time Price differences are fleeting, usually lasting only a few minutes. Rumors and platform delays can create opportunities. I set price alerts on the platform and leverage intuition and speed to seize the moment. My best record is an 18% profit margin, which is astonishing. The key is to ensure capital is in place and to be familiar with fees.
Step 4: Lock in Profits Early I don’t wait for the outcome to be revealed. If I buy all outcomes at $0.94 and the market tightens to $0.98, I sell immediately to lock in profits and quickly move on to the next market. This sends the APY soaring and maximizes capital efficiency.
Exclusive Tips Overlapping Events: Events like “Trump Winning” and “Republican Winning” may hide arbitrage points. Niche Markets: Less competition leads to larger price differences and occasional airdrop rewards. Read the Rules Carefully: Settlement details determine success or failure. Strict Cost Control: Calculate order books and fees to ensure profits.

Musk firmly believes that a decline in population will lead to the collapse of civilization, advocating that 'high-IQ' individuals should have more children and take action. 点击进入交流 $BTC $SOL $ETH Musk, the tech maverick who is changing the world, has once again thrown out a shocking viewpoint: a decline in population will lead to the collapse of civilization! He bluntly states that the global fertility rate has plummeted like a rock off a cliff, and if not reversed, human society will face an unprecedented crisis. Musk not only sounds the alarm but also proposes a bold assertion—'high-IQ' individuals should shoulder the mission, have more children, take action, and inject wisdom into the continuity of civilization.
Why is Musk so anxious? The data is alarming: the global fertility rate has dropped to a historical low, especially in developed countries, with countries like Japan and South Korea experiencing severe population aging, shrinking labor forces, and economic stagnation. Musk warns that if the trend continues, social structures will collapse, innovation will stagnate, and the flame of civilization may extinguish. He believes that population is not just a matter of quantity but also of quality. With low fertility rates, the transmission of human wisdom is at great risk, and the reproduction of high-IQ groups is particularly crucial.
Musk is not just talking; he is also taking action. As a father of many children, he embodies his beliefs through action. The survival of civilization is in our hands. Are you ready to contribute to the future by having children and ensuring the transmission of wisdom?

Stunningly witnessing $3500, gold prices experience a massive shock! Experts reveal a potential '1 status' in the coming days.
International gold prices rebounded strongly on Thursday (24th), sweeping away the previous day's decline of more than 3%. Investors continue to closely monitor the latest developments regarding U.S.-China tariff news. Analysts pointed out that gold prices broke through the $3500 barrier this week, and the market needs to pull back to digest selling pressure, expecting a consolidation pattern in the coming days. If a significant decline occurs, buying interest will likely emerge.
According to Reuters, on the 24th, New York gold futures rose by 1.7%, reaching $3348.60 per ounce; spot gold prices also increased by 1.4%, closing at $3333.90 per ounce.
As concerns about a U.S. economic recession grow, funds are shifting to the gold market seeking safety. On Tuesday (22nd), gold prices briefly hit a historic high of $3500.05. However, after U.S. President Trump softened his stance on tariffs against mainland China and stated that he would not replace Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, gold prices faced a setback on Wednesday.
Independent metal trader Tai Wong stated that the current market focus is on tariff issues. Gold prices surged to $3500 this week, and the short-term rally has been too rapid, necessitating a moderate pullback to digest selling pressure. He believes that gold prices may show a consolidation pattern in the next few trading days, but are still in a bullish market phase. Therefore, if a significant drop occurs, it will inevitably attract buying interest.
Mainland China has demanded that the U.S. revoke all 'unilateral' tariffs and clarified that there are currently no trade negotiations with the U.S., which contrasts with U.S. government officials' repeated hints that both sides have been in contact.
U.S. economic data shows that the number of initial unemployment claims slightly increased last week, indicating that although import tariffs have cast a shadow over the economy, the labor market remains resilient.
