Soft Staking is a cryptocurrency staking mechanism that allows users to earn rewards without locking up their assets. Unlike traditional Staking (hard staking), users can withdraw or trade their tokens at any time, offering greater flexibility and is suitable for investors who do not want to be tied to long-term lock-ups.
⸻
📌 Features and Advantages 1. High asset freedom: No lock-up required, can be transferred or traded at any time. 2. Passive income source: Holding coins that support Soft Staking gives you the opportunity to earn rewards. 3. Easy platform operation: Users only need to store assets in a supported platform wallet (such as Binance, KuCoin, OKX, etc.), and the system automatically calculates and distributes rewards. 4. Suitable for beginners: No complicated settings or understanding of complex node selection is required to participate.
⸻
⚠️ Precautions • Yields are usually slightly lower than "locked Staking". • Not all coins support Soft Staking. • Platforms may change the revenue distribution rules based on policy changes, so pay attention to official announcements.
⸻
🏦 Examples of platforms that support Soft Staking: • Binance: Some assets can earn rewards just by holding them in the wallet. • KuCoin: Previously launched "Soft Staking" service, supporting multiple tokens. • OKX, Bybit, etc.: Some activities or products have a similar "lock-free income" mechanism.

📌 Implication: If the bill passes, the U.S. is expected to become a compliance hub for crypto assets, attracting a return of funds.
⸻
🌀 #Stablecoin Regulatory Storm
As the market value of stablecoins surpasses $170 billion, U.S. regulatory agencies have intensified their scrutiny, particularly targeting mainstream projects such as USDT, USDC, and FDUSD: • SEC and Treasury Department concerns: • Whether stablecoin issuing institutions have sufficient reserves; • Whether they are being used for illegal financing or money laundering; • The risk spillover effects on traditional banks (especially the risks associated with on-chain dollars and monetary policy linkage). • After the decoupling incident of FDUSD, market panic expanded, prompting regulatory agencies to hold emergency hearings. • The draft of the "Stablecoin Transparency Act" has been exposed: it proposes that all stablecoins must be issued by FDIC-registered banks and undergo regular audits.
📌 Risks and Opportunities: • If regulation is overly burdensome, it may lead to projects fleeing; • However, if regulation is clear, it will enhance stablecoin credibility and global legal use cases.
In July 2025, Chainbase (TOKEN code not yet disclosed) will officially land on Binance Launchpool: • Project Introduction: Chainbase is a protocol focused on Web3 data infrastructure, emphasizing 'Data-as-a-Service,' providing real-time on-chain data analysis and API support for dApps, DeFi, and AI projects. • Binance Endorsement: As a Binance Launchpool project, Chainbase allows users to stake mining with $BNB or $FDUSD, representing its high trust from Binance. • Positive Factors: • Emphasizes the integration of AI and Web3, aligning with current market trends. • Provides developer-friendly tools and APIs, with good technical practicality. • Low entry threshold for initial Launchpool mining, conducive to rapidly expanding the community.
#加密立法新纪元 With the rapid expansion of the digital asset market, governments around the world are accelerating the promotion of cryptocurrency-related legislation. The US Congress has recently been actively reviewing draft bills such as the 'Digital Asset Market Structure Act' and the 'Stablecoin Transparency Act', striving to establish clear regulations and a regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry. At the same time, the EU's 'Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets' (MiCA) has officially entered the implementation phase, covering issuer obligations, fund segregation, transparency, and other requirements, becoming a global benchmark for cryptocurrency legislation.
In Asia, Japan continues to strengthen regulation of exchanges and wallet services, while South Korea plans to establish a digital asset regulatory agency. Although the introduction of these regulations may suppress market activity in the short term, in the long run, it helps to eliminate fraud and money laundering risks, attract more institutional funds into the market, and push the industry towards maturity.
'Compliance' is gradually becoming the core keyword of the cryptocurrency market, ushering in a new era of global cryptocurrency legislation. In the future, those who can grasp policy trends will have the opportunity to gain an advantage in the new financial system.
$SUI The following is a summary of the latest developments in U.S. cryptocurrency legislation as of July 19, 2025:
⸻
🇺🇸 The GENIUS Act (Stablecoin Act) has become law • Congress passed the GENIUS Act on July 17, which was signed into law by President Trump the next day (July 18).  . • The regulation stipulates that stablecoin issuance must be managed by banks or licensed institutions, fully backed by low-risk assets such as U.S. dollars or short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and requires regular public reserve reports and AML monitoring.  . • The industry claims this will provide clear regulations and credibility for the stablecoin market, which is expected to rapidly expand to a market size of over a trillion dollars.  .
⸻
💱 CLARITY Act and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act • Alongside the GENIUS Act, two other bills passed the House of Representatives: • CLARITY Act: Clarifies the responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). . • Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act: Prohibits the Federal Reserve from developing a retail version of CBDC to prevent abuse of surveillance. . • These two are still pending Senate review.
⸻
⚖️ "Crypto Week": Policy Overhaul • This month, the U.S. House of Representatives has been referred to as "Crypto Week," introducing at least three key bills to clarify the regulatory direction for digital assets. . • The SEC also issued multiple guidelines on July 1, including clear statements on crypto ETP disclosures, that staking activities do not constitute securities obligations, and that stablecoins are not classified as securities. .
⸻
🏦 Political and Industry Perspectives • Trump stated that these bills will "consolidate the U.S.'s dominance in the fintech sector," and subtly remarked, "the bills are named after me."  . • Industry observers believe this move provides much-needed regulatory clarity but also express concerns that it may favor large institutions and diminish space for small and medium-sized innovators.   .
The United States has recently been active in cryptocurrency regulatory legislation, showing a trend towards a more proactive stance: 1. The "Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act" (FIT21): It has passed the House committee review and is expected to be voted on in the summer. This bill defines the regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, clearly distinguishing between securities and commodity-type crypto assets. 2. Progress on the Stablecoin Bill Draft: Republicans and Democrats are negotiating regulations on stablecoin issuance, including licenses issued by the Federal Reserve or state regulatory agencies and maintaining 1:1 reserve requirements. 3. Trump's camp voices support for the crypto sector: Trump recently publicly stated, "I support Web3 and digital asset innovation," aiming to attract crypto voters and influence regulatory tone.
📌 Impact Analysis: Clarifying legislation can reduce regulatory risks, potentially attracting institutional capital back, lowering policy risks in the crypto space, and benefiting the long-term investment environment.
⸻
🚀 #AltcoinBreakout
Recently, the market has seen strong performances from several altcoins, breaking out of consolidation ranges: 1. Low market cap MEME coin craze: Coins like $PEPE, $DOG, $TRUMP have attracted renewed trading enthusiasm, driven by community and political factors that boost liquidity. 2. Strengthening of AI and L2 related tokens: Including $FET (AI), $TAO, $ZK, $AEVO, other narrative-driven altcoins are attracting capital inflows. 3. Multiple listing activities initiated by Binance and OKX: Launchpool and Launchpad activities are attracting capital to new coins, with short-term trading becoming active.
📌 Observation Reminder: Altcoins are highly volatile and influenced by news; risk management is recommended as a prerequisite. In the short term, attention can be paid to the narrative themes (such as AI, L2, political coins), while in the medium to long term, fundamental and liquidity support must still be monitored.

Session Three: The Basic Structure and Characteristics of A-B-C Corrective Waves
After completing the five-wave upward movement, the market does not rise continuously but enters a natural three-wave corrective phase, known as the A-B-C structure, also referred to as the 'corrective wave'.
⸻
🔁 The basic form of A-B-C is as follows:
1️⃣ Wave A: • The first wave down, usually occurs quickly, but most investors see it as a pullback rather than a reversal.
2️⃣ Wave B: • The rebound wave, upward structure, appears to be reaching new highs, but is actually an illusion that often deceives people into entering the market.
3️⃣ Wave C: • The true downward wave, often equal to or even longer than Wave A, exhibits fierce movement, and the market begins to show signs of panic.
⸻
🔺 Three main types of corrective waves (forecast): 1. Zigzag: Waves A and C are impulsive waves, and Wave B is a corrective wave (5-3-5) 2. Flat: All three segments are three-wave structures (3-3-5) 3. Triangle: A compressed consolidation with a five-wave structure (3-3-3-3-3)
These are the patterns that will be analyzed in depth later.
⸻
💡 Key Concepts: • Corrective waves often bring confusion and uncertainty, so mastering corrective waves is crucial. • It is not the beginning of a reversal, but a period of correction within a trend, and it may also be part of a larger wave cycle.
Second Lesson: Structure and Rules of the Five Impulse Waves (1-2-3-4-5)
The most basic trend structure in wave theory is the "Five Impulse Waves," representing the main direction of market movement. These five waves have a clear order and characteristics.
⸻
🌀 Structure as follows:
1️⃣ First Wave: • Initial market rise, usually weak, with most people still not believing that a reversal has begun.
2️⃣ Second Wave: • Retracement wave, correcting the first wave, but cannot drop below the starting point. This wave often leads to doubts about whether the rebound is a false signal.
3️⃣ Third Wave: • The strongest and longest wave, market sentiment begins to become euphoric, and trading volume increases, marking the main upward phase.
4️⃣ Fourth Wave: • Again corrects, but usually more gently, with a small retracement, preparing for the upcoming fifth wave.
5️⃣ Fifth Wave: • The final upward wave, market becomes overly optimistic, often displaying false breakouts, divergences, and other phenomena.
⸻
✅ Key Rules (must remember): • The third wave must absolutely not be the shortest wave (but it doesn't have to be the longest either) • The second wave cannot drop below the starting point of the first wave • The fourth wave cannot enter the price range of the first wave (unless in special structures, such as wedges)
⸻
These five wave shapes constitute a complete upward trend.
First Lesson: What is Wave Theory? Introduction to Core Concepts
Wave Theory (Elliott Wave Theory) is a market price cycle theory proposed by R.N. Elliott. He discovered that market fluctuations are not random but occur in a regular 'wave pattern'.
⸻
🌊 Basic Principles:
A complete wave cycle consists of: • Five Rising Waves (Impulse Waves): called 1-2-3-4-5 waves • Three Corrective Waves: called A-B-C waves
This '5+3 Structure' forms a complete wave segment and continuously reappears in trends at all levels.
⸻
🧠 The Nature of Waves:
Waves reflect the response patterns of human collective psychology—emotions such as greed, fear, doubt, and optimism leave traces in prices.
⸻
📈 What Can Wave Theory Do? • Analyze which stage the market is in (impulse or correction) • Predict possible future price structures • Help design risk management and entry-exit strategies

Session Twenty-Nine: Create Your Own Trading System Framework
Today we will integrate everything we have learned to establish your personalized trading system. A good system is not just about the conditions for entering and exiting trades, but also a systematic approach to achieving stable profits.
⸻
1. What is a trading system?
A trading system is a complete set of 'operational rules', including: 1. Stock selection logic: What types of stocks do you operate? Do you have volume and volatility filters? 2. Entry conditions: What K-bars, patterns, trends, and volume must be met to enter? 3. Exit conditions: How do you set stop-loss and take-profit? Do you have a trailing stop? 4. Capital management: How much to invest per trade? What is the maximum capital allocation for a single target? 5. Discipline and record-keeping: How do you force yourself to execute? Do you keep a record sheet?
⸻
2. Systems do not need to be complex, but they must be repeatable.
For example, you can design a 'Beginner Trend Breakout System' like this: • Target type: Average daily volume > 2000 shares, stock price $10 to $100 • Pattern conditions: Box breakout + high volume bullish K • Entry position: Closing price on the breakout day • Stop-loss design: K-bar low - 2% • Target setting: Height of the box equals the target; move the stop-loss after taking half the profit
✅ Use such fixed rules to operate 20 times, reviewing the win rate, profit ratio, and stability.
Session Twenty-Eight: Simulation Trading and Backtesting Training Techniques
It's not enough to just read charts; practical exercises are the true beginning of growth. In today's lesson, we will learn how to use 'simulation trading' and 'historical chart backtesting' to train your trading decision-making ability.
⸻
1. What is simulation trading?
Simulation trading is pretending to trade using real-time quotes or historical charts without investing capital, but training judgment skills.
✅ Benefits: • Risk-free practice of entering and exiting trades • Strengthening execution and discipline • Recognizing emotional responses
⸻
2. Methods for simulation trading practice 1. Randomly open a candlestick chart (can use TradingView) 2. Scroll the chart to the left to view only part of the historical chart (do not peek at the results) 3. Slowly push the chart to the right, thinking as you go: • What is the trend? • Can I enter now? Where to enter? Where to set the stop loss? • What signals indicate I should exit?
✍️ Record your judgments from each simulation, and later compare them with the actual trends to adjust mistakes.
⸻
3. The focus of training is not on being 'correct' but on 'consistency'
Simulating continuously for 10 times, the goal is not to sharpen your vision but to practice the process of judgment, discipline, and reflection.
📌 Don’t pursue making a profit every time, but rather 'execute logically every time.'
Lesson 27: Analysis of Typical Practical Cases (Part 2) - False Breakouts and Consolidation Traps
Today we will look at a trap that many traders often fall into: a false breakout of a consolidation zone. This lesson will teach you how to identify traps, avoid losses, and find opportunities for contrarian trading.
⸻
I. Case Background • The stock has been consolidating within a range for a long time (rectangular consolidation), with clear support and resistance. • One day, a red candlestick appears that breaks through the resistance zone, but the closing price of the day has an upper shadow, and the trading volume is moderate.
⸻
II. Process Analysis and Problems 1. Unclear Trend → Long-term range consolidation, no clear trend 2. Abnormal Breakout Pattern → Although it breaks through, the candlestick has a long upper shadow, indicating that there is selling pressure above. 3. Trading Volume Not Effectively Increased → Volume does not clearly support it, and there is insufficient market consensus. 4. The next day, it opened high and went low, returning to the range → Forming a "false breakout" structure, a clear failure signal
⸻
III. Trading Strategies and Learning Points • If you enter the market at the first time, you should immediately stop the loss (do not delay) • When observing reverse signals, you can consider doing reverse operations (such as: the price falls below the central axis again, with a large volume decline)
📌 Bullish failure ≠ cannot be operated, but transformed into a short opportunity.
⸻
These types of false breakouts are often the main force's way of washing out the market or inducing more buying. Learning to see through it can turn you from a "deceived person" to a "person who goes with the flow."
