Arizona will establish a Bitcoin state strategic reserve. This will also be the first state BTC strategic reserve in history, which is highly significant.
The 10th anniversary of Ethereum's genesis block is about to ignite a global celebration!
The Ethereum Foundation recently announced that the Ethereum network is approaching a historically significant moment—the 10th anniversary of its genesis block, specifically on July 30, 2025, at 23:26:13. This milestone not only marks Ethereum's evolution from a testing ground for blockchain technology innovation to a global leader in smart contract platforms but also witnesses its ecosystem's transformation from an early geek community to a vast network encompassing diverse groups such as developers, enterprise users, and investors.
In response to the enthusiasm for participation from the global community, the Foundation will launch the 'Global 10th Anniversary Celebration Plan,' with core content including:
• Global offline gathering collaboration: The Foundation will partner with core community organizations in various regions to host main venue activities, while also opening permissions to encourage communities, developer groups, or users from any region globally to independently plan their own celebration events, including formats such as technical seminars, ecosystem exhibitions, hackathons, themed parties, etc.
• Funding support mechanism: Through the Ecosystem Support Program (ESP), funding will be provided for eligible activities, with a maximum of $500 available for each event to cover basic expenses such as venue rental, material production, online streaming, etc., aimed at lowering the participation threshold for grassroots communities.
• Application timeline: All funding applications must be submitted through official channels of the Foundation by June 15, 2025. Projects that pass the review will receive funding in early July to ensure smooth preparation for the events.
This celebration is seen as a concentrated display of the cohesion of the Ethereum ecosystem. Since the launch of the genesis block in 2015, Ethereum has undergone key upgrades, including the transformation from PoW to PoS consensus mechanism and the implementation of Layer 2 scaling solutions, currently hosting over 3,000 DApps and on-chain assets valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars. The Foundation hopes that through this global coordination, it will further stimulate community innovation and lay the foundation for technological iteration and ecological expansion in the next decade. #以太坊的未来 #比特币市值排名 #BLINKY
Recently, I keep seeing a group of people crazily reposting 'the myth of getting rich in the universe', saying that registering gives you 100 coins and inviting people allows you to lie back and earn millions.
As an old hand who has been in the coin circle for many years, today I’m going to break it down and chat with everyone about whether this thing is a gold mine or a pit.
1. The pie that falls from the sky has hooks.
In the past two years, there have been quite a few ways to make money online—getting paid for walking, cashback for watching ads, mining for coins, making it look like a supermarket promotion.
But as the old saying goes, you see the interest from others, but they are eyeing your principal! These flashy 'money-making' projects are, to put it bluntly, just repackaged 'scallions harvesting machines'.
How will various tracks in the cryptocurrency industry develop under market reshuffling?
1. The core of cryptocurrency is the monetary trajectory in its current form. The role of blockchain for currency/assets is like the role of the internet for information, with the consequence that speculative activities remain the primary application scenario in the industry. Although the speed and scale of speculative behavior will fluctuate, the most significant outcomes (and the largest sources of income) in this field will still come from speculation and the derived secondary application scenarios, such as lending, derivatives, brokerage traders, etc. 2. With Circle submitting its IPO application, the stablecoin track may be approaching its peak stage. In my opinion, interest rate cuts will become another domino effect impacting this field. Considering the dual pressures of channel moats and regulatory challenges, the next significant opportunity for stablecoins may not be so explosive.
Before Trump took office, everyone hoped that Biden would step down soon because Trump is the president who supports cryptocurrency. When Trump took office, the spring of the crypto world arrived, but after he took office, oh my, this is not a crypto president at all, this is simply a vegetable harvesting machine 🥹 Are people now missing Biden again? 😂 #BLINKY #加密市场回调 #美国加征关税
70%~80% of accounts are nearly zero, no one is playing in the crypto world anymore. Someone from a certain exchange revealed that compared to six months ago, 70%~80% of accounts have nearly zeroed out and entered a state of dead accounts. The number of new users skyrocketed after Trump announced his token, reaching a peak and then plummeting sharply; now it’s only 2% of the peak. In just six months, nearly 80% of retail investors have fallen.
This is why leading exchanges are in a hurry; the bosses are personally stepping in to activate the market (desperately struggling). There are no users left, it's harsher than the major A-shares! The trading volume of the top ten stablecoins has dropped to a quarter of last December's bull market levels, hitting a seven-year low. Damn Trump, he drained the liquidity from the crypto world and burst its bubble.
The most intuitive data, a friend who was doing arbitrage, could earn over 2000 🔪 in daily arbitrage fees last year, but now with more subordinates, he only makes a little over 100 🔪 a day, it’s so cold that it scares him..... #BTC #ETH #SOL #BLINKY
The White House will host the first cryptocurrency summit on March 7
Recently, a major announcement has stirred significant waves in the cryptocurrency field and the international political arena. According to an official statement from the White House, on March 7, the current U.S. President Trump will personally host the inaugural White House cryptocurrency summit and deliver an important speech at the event. This summit is of great significance, representing not only a concentrated display of the Trump administration's attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry but also marking an important step for the U.S. in the direction of cryptocurrency policy.
The lineup for this summit is impressive. Well-known founders, CEOs, and investors from the cryptocurrency industry have been invited to attend, representing the core forces in the cryptocurrency field. Their businesses cover key areas such as cryptocurrency research and development, trading platform operations, and blockchain technology applications, making them the main drivers of industry development. Members of the President's Digital Asset Working Group will also gather, coming from key government agencies such as the Treasury Department, the Justice Department, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). They bear the important responsibility of providing digital asset policy recommendations to the White House and assessing cryptocurrency-related matters, playing a crucial role in the government's formulation of cryptocurrency policy. #白宫首届加密货币峰会 #BLINKY #芝商所将推出SOL期货 #BTC #
Ethereum vs. Solana: Validator Centralization and MEV
Ethereum vs. Solana: Validator Centralization and MEV Ethereum's validator centralization and staking dominance Ethereum's proof-of-stake network has seen staking rights highly concentrated in a few large entities. As of 2023, most staked ETH is controlled by centralized pools or exchanges. For example, Lido Finance alone accounts for about 30-32% of all staked ETH. Combined with other top providers like Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance, over 50% of Ethereum's stake is held by four entities. This trend immediately raised early concerns after The Merge - by the end of 2022, over 60% of staked ETH was held by Lido, Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance. Overall, analyses indicate that a small number of participants wield excessive influence: about 25 entities collectively manage ~84% of all staked ETH. This centralization means that a few operators could influence or censor a large portion of validators, posing systemic risks to network decentralization and consensus. Although Ethereum has hundreds of thousands of validator slots, many are run on behalf of users by these large proof-of-stake services, thus centralizing control.
The cryptocurrency boom period is inevitably and rapidly disappearing, making it very difficult for retail investors to survive.
The cryptocurrency boom period is inevitably and rapidly disappearing, making it very difficult for retail investors to survive. Many people are likely questioning whether this is a bull market, whether there will still be a bull market, and whether there will still be a altcoin season.
1. Bitcoin is entering a long-term slow bull market, while 99% of altcoins will face chronic death.
2. Altcoin seasons occur, but only in localized areas, and they come and go quickly, with significant secondary differentiation.
3. As institutional investors enter the market, the cryptocurrency boom period is rapidly disappearing. In the next round, speculative funds may be even less, and it will no longer be a realm for retail investors.
Has the trend of the bull market changed again? What highlights are there in the soaring AI agent sector?
Which track has the most potential in this bull market?
If asked at the early stage of this bull market, the answer would undoubtedly be the Bitcoin ecosystem and the AI track. However, now that the industry has developed to this stage, Bitcoin has already broken the $100,000 barrier, and the inscriptions and runes of the Bitcoin ecosystem have basically cooled off, while the AI track continues to be hot, even taking over the Meme track, seemingly showing signs of rivaling DeFi Summer.
Of course, now the AI track is not the same as the projects led by WLD, TAO, etc., at the beginning of last year. The currently popular and trending area is the AI agent track derived from AI Memes.
Bitcoin to $200,000 this year? Everyone seems bullish, but isn't that strange? What do you think?
Bitcoin to $200,000 this year? Everyone seems bullish, but isn't that strange? What do you think?
As the Double 'Egg' Festival arrives, people around the world are filled with hope that 2025 will be a year of harvest. A group of KOLs in the crypto space are all bullish, and some institutions have even released optimistic predictions and outlooks for the crypto market in 2025. For example, Bitwise predicts that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) will exceed $200,000 by 2025, and Ethereum (ETH) will reach $7,000; VanEck predicts that the crypto market will hit new highs by the end of 2025...
Despite the bullish expectations for 2025 such as Trump's 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve', crypto-friendly regulations in the US, and AI concepts, one would think that given the predictions from KOLs and institutions, as well as the general bullish sentiment we observe, the crypto market should have taken off by now. Why is the current market so quiet that it feels 'deafening'?
What is the truth? Perhaps what we see is just a 'peaceful' surface, while beneath it, 'undercurrents' are surging?
Predictions and outlooks are made every year, and any single opinion may inevitably be biased. What do you think? #VCCT #BTC #2025比特币价格预测
When is the earliest 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve' in the U.S. expected to be implemented? Pay attention to these key time nodes.
Since the early November announcement of Trump's election victory, the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin, has entered a strong expectation of the 'U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve'. Clearly, the market will focus heavily on the implementation of this commitment after Trump takes office in 2025. Analysts have stated that this will break the Bitcoin bull-bear cycle, meaning that any 'interruption' in the future could lead to severe market fluctuations. What we can do now is to pay attention to the advancement dynamics, estimate possible implementation timelines in advance, and prepare accordingly.
01 Latest Developments The issue of the 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve' has actually been proposed and discussed before the U.S. presidential election. Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed the (Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act) on July 31, 2024, suggesting the purchase of 200,000 Bitcoins annually, reaching 1 million within five years.
What 'business secrets' are revealed by the Trump family's crypto project and its on-chain asset configurations?
Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election pushed Bitcoin to break the $100,000 mark, accelerating the current bull market. Not just Bitcoin, but also projects related to the Trump team are showing signs of takeoff.
Recently, World Liberty Financial (hereafter WLFI), closely related to the Trump family, has frequently purchased ETH, LINK, AAVE, ENA, etc., sparking a following trend in the market and becoming a significant barometer in the crypto investment market.
So, what is WLFI, and what market-moving actions might it take in the future?
Why do so many ordinary people invest in meme coins?
Why do so many ordinary people invest in meme coins? - It's exhilarating.
It is undeniable that investing in meme coins is definitely a gamble, but upon reflection, I find that the gamble makes sense and is even correct because it suits them. Let's imagine, if we are an ordinary person earning 2000 dollars a month, we hear many stories of cryptocurrencies skyrocketing, and we want to join, but which one to invest in? Undoubtedly, I think it's meme coins. The reasons are:
1. Investing 2000 dollars in mainstream coins leads to back-and-forth fluctuations, rising today and falling tomorrow, affecting emotions and earning little money, with a high probability of being stuck. One must know that 99% of the time, the market is consolidating sideways, with real big bull markets only occurring 1% of the time. Moreover, the longer the bear market lasts, the longer the bull market lasts, and vice versa. Retail investors are certainly affected by various news, chasing highs and cutting losses, slowly depleting their principal.
Bitcoin has broken through 100,000 USD, rising 4% in a single day, reaching a historic high. Since the beginning of this year, Bitcoin has increased by 138% in total. Since November 4, Bitcoin has risen directly from 68,000 USD to 100,000 USD, taking just one month.
