$BTC Currently, the bullish momentum remains strong. After the price increase, there has not been a significant pullback. Observing the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin has strongly broken through the upper Bollinger Band. Although there were brief minor pullbacks during this period, their strength and persistence are clearly insufficient and do not indicate a trend reversal signal. Overall, Bitcoin's trajectory still clearly shows a bullish dominance. The multiple pullback attempts by bears have shown fatigue and are insufficient to shake the current solid bullish technical formation. Their effect is more reflected in the brief delay of the rapid upward pace and the necessary correction of indicators, which instead accumulates momentum for subsequent upward movement. Therefore, regarding the subsequent layout strategy, our core idea remains unchanged: continue to develop around the subsequent thoughts from the morning, first look for a correction, patiently wait for the price to show stabilization signals in key support areas, and follow up in batches around the opportunities of the pullback for long positions.

#越南加密政策 The draft "Regulation of the Virtual Asset Market" released by the State Bank of Vietnam on June 16, 2025, is causing severe fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market. The core of its policy includes three contradictory games: 1. Fiat Channel Game: The draft allows licensed exchanges to enable direct trading of the Vietnamese Dong (currently, only 5 platforms that account for 17% of the market share qualify), but requires a freeze of 50% of cryptocurrency assets as reserves. As a result, the OTC premium for USDT on Ho Chi Minh City's largest OTC market has reached 8.3%. 2. Miners' Lifeline: The new regulation raises the electricity subsidy for miners from $0.045 per kWh to $0.052, but requires all mining sites to connect to the national power grid for monitoring (currently, 73% of mining sites use off-grid hydropower). BitRiver data shows that Vietnamese miners are accelerating their move to the Lao border, and the overall network's hash rate has dropped by 14% in 24 hours. 3. Regulatory Countdown: There are only 23 hours left in the policy window (as of UTC+8, June 17, 12:00), and anomalies have been detected in the order book for the BTC/USDT trading pair on Binance Vietnam: the sell wall has accumulated 12,437 BTC at $46,500, while the buy orders only support 3,021 BTC at $45,200, causing the market maker spread to widen to 3.7% (normal level is 1.2%-1.8%).
$BTC Bitcoin plays a key role in anti-inflation The host asked how to allocate assets in this environment, and Jones gave a clear answer:
"In this environment, what kind of investment portfolio is ideal? So far, the best-performing combination might be some mix of stocks, gold, and volatility-adjusted Bitcoin. This may be your best investment portfolio against inflation." He added that Bitcoin's volatility is about five times that of gold, so the allocation ratio must be discounted. Compared to the 1–2% allocation suggested in 2020, Jones believes that Bitcoin's position has become even more important against the backdrop of increasingly clear policy paths.
Learning from Japan's path: low real interest rates + high inflation Jones predicts that the U.S. may replicate Japan's experience: suppressing real interest rates, tolerating higher inflation, and shifting the burden to consumers through taxation. He said this strategy will remain effective until inflationary pressures drive the ruling party out of office.
Fed personnel is also a key variable. Jones speculates that if current President Trump wins, he may appoint a "super dove" chairperson to significantly lower interest rates. This echoes Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance's criticism of the Federal Reserve's "monetary malpractice" on social media.

On June 12, 2023, at the annual cryptocurrency summit, the American exchange Coinbase launched two new products for the U.S. market: CFTC-regulated perpetual futures trading and an American Express co-branded credit card offering up to 4% Bitcoin back, expanding the landscape of compliant derivatives and everyday payments.
Coinbase Completes Product Ecosystem Max Branzburg, head of Consumer and Business Products, pointed out that the derivatives market currently accounts for 75% of the global cryptocurrency market trading volume, and the retail perpetual futures transaction volume on Coinbase's international platform reached $5 billion in May, but there are no corresponding services in the U.S. market.
The launch of CFTC-approved compliant perpetual futures and high-reward credit cards is aimed at targeting two major groups: leveraged traders and high-spending users.
美國債務壓力:比特幣牛市新推手? Bitwise 分析師 André Dragosch 與 Ayush Tripathi 在最新的每週加密市場展望報告中分析,美國現行的財政政策,正為比特幣創造極為有利的宏觀經濟環境。報告中提到,美國聯邦債務不斷飆升,強制性支出已超過政府收入,而前總統川普提議的「One Big Beautiful Bill Act」減稅法案,則可能使財政狀況雪上加霜。
Bitwise, a cryptocurrency investment company, recently reported that Bitcoin's price is expected to break $200,000 by the end of the year, with fair value likely reaching $230,000. It is noteworthy that the main rationale behind this forecast is not traditional technical indicators, but rather the severe fiscal situation in the United States and the continuously expanding federal debt.
U.S. Debt Pressure: A New Driver for the Bitcoin Bull Market? Bitwise analysts André Dragosch and Ayush Tripathi analyzed in the latest weekly cryptocurrency market outlook report that the current fiscal policy in the United States is creating a highly favorable macroeconomic environment for Bitcoin. The report mentions that U.S. federal debt is skyrocketing, mandatory spending has exceeded government revenue, and the tax reduction proposal known as the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' suggested by former President Trump may exacerbate the fiscal situation.
In fact, according to data from the U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO), by 2030, the net interest payments in the U.S. are projected to triple to an astonishing $3 trillion, raising market concerns about potential sovereign defaults. Bitwise analysts believe that in this context of fiscal instability, Bitcoin, with its scarcity and resilience, along with its decentralized nature, becomes a unique tool for hedging against sovereign risk.

The current NCI index includes nine cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, SOL, ADA, XLM, Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC), and Uniswap (UNI).
Although the NCIUS index has been updated to include six assets, the actual holdings of the NCIQ ETF are still highly concentrated in Bitcoin and Ethereum (together accounting for over 87%). This allocation ratio exposes the ETF to tracking error risk, meaning there could be a deviation between the ETF's performance and that of its tracking index.
Nasdaq hopes that by incorporating a greater variety of crypto assets, the NCIQ ETF can more accurately reflect the NCI index, providing investors with a more authentic representation of the crypto market.
Waiting for SEC approval Whether this proposal can be approved is crucially dependent on the review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). By submitting a 19b-4 filing to apply for new products or rule changes, the SEC's latest deadline for making a final decision on this proposal will be November 2, 2025. However, the market generally believes that approval is not difficult.

Bitcoin needs to break 107,000 to break the deadlock?
Since May 30, Bitcoin has been consolidating in a narrow range between $103,500 and $106,800, and has fallen below this range in the past 24 hours.
Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Capital, stated that $107,000 is currently a key resistance level that needs to be overcome to trigger a new wave of upward momentum and set a new historical high.
Analyst Jelle believes that the period of Bitcoin's fluctuations may continue for a few more days until the price breaks above $105,000, which is the position of the 50-day moving average on the 4-hour K chart.
The outcome of the London negotiations will directly affect the direction of the China-U.S. trade war. If both sides can reach an agreement to extend or even solidify tax reduction measures, it will help stabilize the global supply chain and inject confidence into the global economy. However, considering the deep-rooted differences between the two countries in areas such as technology, national security, and geopolitics, even if the trade truce continues, it will be difficult to completely eliminate future friction.
China's pursuit of building diverse trade partnerships with more countries, as well as its proactive offer of a 'green channel' to the European Union, indicates that it is actively reshaping the global trade landscape. These efforts are not only to cope with U.S. trade pressures but also to enhance its own resilience and influence in the global economy. For the United Kingdom, as the host of this negotiation, although not directly involved, its support for free trade and warnings about the negative impacts of the trade war reflect the international community's general expectation for dialogue between the two major economies.
The Major Changes in Stablecoins: The First 10 Years of Crypto Originating from USDT (2014-2024)
In 2008, an article titled 'Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System' (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf) appeared on the P2P Foundation website, authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, who would later be revered as the founding figure of the crypto industry. This was during the aftermath of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, which had erupted due to severe inflation of the US dollar, and the world economy was slowly rebuilding itself. Undoubtedly, the original intention behind the birth of BTC was to address the chronic ailments of a centralized monetary supply system and the cumbersome, rigid, and inflexible global financial payment system.
However, contrary to the expectations of many crypto OGs including Nakamoto, it was not BTC, which proudly waved the banner of decentralization, that ultimately fulfilled the 'peer-to-peer payment wish of BTC', but rather various stablecoins strongly tied to the US dollar and US debt.
