#CardanoDebate
CardanoDebate is a term used in the crypto community to refer to the ongoing discussions about the Cardano (ADA) project. Some see it as a strong scientific project based on rigorous academic research and a scalable layered architecture, while others view it as very slow in development and implementation compared to competitors like Ethereum or Solana. The team led by Charles Hoskinson advocates for the formal methodology, while some accuse him of overpromising. CardanoDebate reflects a struggle between a long-term vision based on security and stability versus a fast market approach that favors experimentation and immediate results. The debate continues, and the future will judge.

$BTC
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fell early Thursday, with the world’s largest digital coin stopping short of another all-time high after edging closer to a record over the past few days.

#OrderTypes101

OrderTypes101 is a simplified guide to understanding order types in trading,
which are
tools that determine how and when currencies are bought or sold. The main types:

1. Market Order: Buy or sell immediately at the best available price in the market.

2. Limit Order: Set a specific price for selling or buying, and the order is executed only when this price is reached.

3. Stop-Limit Order: A conditional order that starts at a certain price (Stop)
and is executed as a Limit.

4. OCO (One Cancels the Other): A dual order, if one is executed, the other is automatically canceled.

OrderTypes101 helps you use orders wisely to control
risks and achieve the best entry and exit points.

#CEXvsDEX101
In Binance,
CEXvsDEX101

is an educational guide that explains the difference between the two types of platforms:

1. CEX (Centralized Exchange): like Binance. A centralized platform controlled by a company, offering high liquidity, fast execution, technical support, but requires identity verification (KYC) and stores users' funds.

2. DEX (Decentralized Exchange): like Uniswap. A decentralized platform that operates through smart contracts, does not require an intermediary or identity verification, and keeps the user in control of their funds, but it has lower liquidity and can be complex for beginners.

CEXvsDEX101 aims to educate users on the advantages and disadvantages of each type, so they can choose the one that best suits their security, privacy, and experience.

#TradingTypes101

On the Binance platform, the term
TradingTypes101
refers to the basic types of trading, a teaching concept that explains to beginners the difference between various trading styles. The main types include:

1. Spot Trading: Buying and selling currencies directly.

2. Futures Trading: Trading futures contracts with the ability to profit from price increases or decreases using leverage.

3. Margin Trading: Trading by borrowing from the platform to increase capital.

4. P2P Trading: Direct currency trading between users.

#BTC
Bitcoin is like gold: it doesn't change quickly, retains its value, and is simple.

The rest is a changing technology: it may be useful today, but it might become obsolete tomorrow.

In summary: do not confuse "technological infrastructure" (like Ethereum)
with "store of value" (like Bitcoin).
Bitcoin is a stable asset, not just a tech platform, and that may be what allows it to last longer.

#altcoins

Diversification of Investments: Altcoin seasons provide investors with opportunities to diversify their investment portfolios. By investing in various altcoins, investors can achieve higher returns when Bitcoin's performance is weak.
Risk Management: It is important to note that altcoins are generally more volatile than Bitcoin. Therefore, investors should exercise caution and manage risks carefully when participating in altcoin seasons.
Historical Context of Altcoin Seasons
Historically, altcoin seasons often occur when Bitcoin prices are relatively stable or enter a correction phase. For example, during the bull market from late 2017 to early 2018, many altcoins saw significant price increases, attracting considerable interest from investors. However, as the market transitioned to a bear market, the performance of altcoins weakened as well.

Conclusion
The Altcoin Season Index is a useful tool that helps investors better understand the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market. By monitoring this index, investors can better seize market opportunities and adjust their investment strategies according to market trends. However, due to the high volatility and uncertainty in the cryptocurrency market, investors should conduct thorough research and risk assessments.

#altcoins
Relative performance: Comparing Bitcoin's performance with other major alternative currencies. If most alternative currencies outperform Bitcoin, this indicates that an "altcoin season" may be underway.
Market cap ratio: Bitcoin's dominance in the overall cryptocurrency market (Bitcoin dominance) is a critical benchmark indicator. When Bitcoin's market dominance declines, it usually means that money is flowing into other alternative currencies, signaling a potential altcoin season.
Trading volume and price volatility: Trading volume and price fluctuations of alternative currencies are also key metrics for assessing their performance. If alternative currencies experience significant increases in trading volume and prices while Bitcoin remains relatively stable, this may indicate the beginning of an altcoin season.
Social media and community sentiment: Discussions on social media, news coverage, and community sentiment can serve as complementary indicators. Increased interest in certain alternative currencies on social media platforms may lead to price surges.

Altcoin Season Index

It is a measure used to gauge the performance of alternative currencies in the cryptocurrency market (i.e., altcoins). It helps investors understand whether altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin over a specific period, providing insights into market trends and investment opportunities.

What is Altcoin Season?

The term 'Altcoin Season' refers to the period when cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin, such as Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, etc., perform exceptionally well. During this time, the price increases of these altcoins may exceed those of Bitcoin, attracting significant interest and capital from investors.

How is the Altcoin Season Index calculated?

The Altcoin Season Index typically depends on several factors....

#TrumpTariffs
Latest Developments on Trump Tariffs and Their Impact on the Crypto Market (May 2025):

On May 23, 2025, Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on all European Union imports starting June 1, and also threatened a 25% tariff on all imported smartphones (including iPhone and Samsung) unless they are manufactured within America.

Direct Impact on the Cryptocurrency Market:

The price of Bitcoin dropped to around $108,500.

A loss of over $130 billion in market value for the crypto market within hours.

Currencies such as $ETH , $SOL , and $XRP also experienced sharp declines.

Reason: Investor concerns about a global economic slowdown and rising trade tensions, prompting them to reduce their exposure to risky assets like cryptocurrencies.

#SUİ
Even if SUI itself is not breached, a breach of the main DEX is a disaster that leads to the "death of the ecosystem," because without user trust and liquidity, no DeFi blockchain can survive.

Impact on the Sui Network:

This attack dealt a severe blow to user trust in the Sui ecosystem, especially since (Cetus) represented a cornerstone in the DeFi infrastructure on the network. Although the underlying blockchain was not breached, the loss of trust in key applications can lead to
liquidity and user flight, threatening the future of the network.

Farewell SUI😉

#Ledger
Warning from Moonlock: A fake Ledger Live app targeting macOS users is stealing secret phrases to withdraw cryptocurrencies through malware that has spread since August on more than 2,800 sites.
Among the methods used by scammers to replace the original app is the Atomic macOS Stealer virus, designed to steal sensitive data, which has been detected - according to Moonlock - on at least 2,800 hacked websites.
"The fake app then displays a convincing alert about suspicious activity and asks the user to enter their secret phrase. Once entered, the phrase is sent to a server controlled by the attacker, putting the user's assets at risk within seconds."
To avoid falling victim to such attacks, Moonlock recommends that users be extremely cautious of any page claiming to have a "critical error" and requesting the entry of the 24-word recovery phrase.

It also advises against sharing the secret phrase with anyone, not to enter it on any website no matter how trustworthy it seems, and to ensure that the Ledger Live app is only downloaded from the official website.

#BTC
The open interest in Bitcoin futures has reached a new record, exceeding $80 billion, while the price of the currency has dropped below $111,000 amid a wave of high speculation.

When open interest rises significantly, it indicates a massive number of leveraged positions, where traders hold large positions using borrowed funds. If the price moves against these excessive positions, it could lead to forced liquidations, imposing sharp selling pressure and causing significant price fluctuations.

The Bitcoin options market is showing a similar pattern, with Deribit data indicating open interest of over $1.5 billion at strike prices of $110,000 and $120,000, along with more than $1 billion at strike prices of $115,000, $125,000, and $130,000.

Bitcoin options with a nominal value of $2.76 billion are set to expire on May 23, with a Put/Call ratio of 1.2%, indicating a greater number of short sellers (put options) compared to call options. The "max pain" point, where the largest losses occur at settlement, is at the level of $103,000.

📉 US Yield Curve: Does it still indicate an upcoming recession?

In 2025, the US yield curve (the difference between 10-year and 2-year bond yields) experienced a prolonged inversion, a traditional indicator of a potential economic recession. However, in recent months, the curve has returned to normal (i.e., long-term bond yields have become higher than short-term), which may indicate an improvement in economic outlook.

🪙 The impact on the crypto market ($BTC as an example)

Under these circumstances, the cryptocurrency market is considered very sensitive to changes in liquidity and economic expectations. If bond yields continue to rise and concerns about debt and inflation persist, this could lead to:

Decreased risk appetite: Investors may turn to safe assets, leading to a decline in the prices of high-risk assets such as
cryptocurrencies

#MyEOSTrade
Under the hashtag #MyEOSTrade , Binance and Vaulta are launching a new social trading campaign encouraging users to share their trades in EOS through the EOS Terminal tool on the Binance Square platform. The event runs from May 19, 2025, to May 26, 2025, and any verified trader with a single trade volume exceeding $20 can join. The more trades that participate, the higher the potential prize share from a pool valued at $5,000 in EOS vouchers. To participate, the trader creates a post that includes an explanation of the entry and exit strategy, a picture of the trade, a link to confirm it, and the hashtags #MyEOSTrade and #EOS. The initiative aims to promote collective learning, highlight traders' analyses, and build an active community around EOS, while rewarding the most engaged contributors. This way, Binance provides an educational and entertaining experience that enhances EOS liquidity and raises awareness of the EOS Terminal platform.

Will we witness another rise of Bitcoin and achieve a new peak or are we at the gateway of the bear market?

$ETH
Despite the strength of the Ethereum network and its expanding use, there is still selling pressure on the Ether (ETH) currency due to several factors. The first is the concern over delays in technical updates such as Proto-Danksharding, which slows down performance improvements. Second, sales by institutions or hedge funds to realize profits after a previous rise. Third, the liquidation of leveraged positions at key support levels. Additionally, the lack of clarity in regulatory frameworks in some countries increases caution. This is compounded by strong competition from faster and cheaper alternative networks. All these factors lead traders and investors to lean towards selling in the short term, awaiting clearer positive signals for new entries.
