The European Cup is coming soon, and it is another good opportunity to get on board. Follow me to see the trend of Bitcoin in the future!
The trend of Bitcoin is a complex and highly concerned topic. According to historical data, the volatility of Bitcoin prices is high and is often affected by market supply and demand and investor sentiment. #新币挖矿 #比特币减半 #大盘走势 #BTC
The following are the main observations about Bitcoin trends:
Price volatility: Bitcoin prices usually show an upward trend before halving, because investors and traders expect a possible supply crisis. After the halving, if supply decreases and demand remains strong, prices tend to continue to rise [1].
Technical analysis: Through tools such as Bitcoin - Bitcoin price trend charts, technical analysis can be performed to track real-time and historical Bitcoin price trends, helping investors make more informed decisions [2].
Market sentiment: Bitcoin prices are also affected by market sentiment. For example, major news, policy changes and other factors may have an impact on Bitcoin prices [4].
Trading platform data: Bitcoin price trends can also be observed through price trend charts and analysis tools on major trading platforms. These data can provide investors with more comprehensive information [5]. Overall, Bitcoin trends are affected by a variety of factors, including supply and demand, technical analysis, market sentiment, etc. Investors need to consider these factors comprehensively to make decisions.

【VKGAME Virtual Currency】The new battlefield of virtual currency, the revived gaming track is expected to reshape the crypto market. In early May 2025, shares of traditional gaming giant Take-Two Interactive rose by 1.2% due to the countdown announcement of 'GTA 6'. At the same time, gaming tokens in the crypto market such as Enjin, Decentraland, and The Sandbox also surged. The siphoning effect of traditional gaming IPs combined with breakthroughs in blockchain technology has jointly sparked market attention towards the gaming sector. Data shows that the total market value of crypto tokens related to gaming has surpassed $57 billion, with trading volume increasing by over 28% in the past 30 days. The gaming sector is transforming from an experimental fringe into the core battlefield of the virtual currency ecosystem, driven by a triple transformation of technology, capital, and user behavior. Whether it is the player expectations triggered by 'GTA 6' or the technological breakthroughs of the full-chain gaming protocol Dark Forest, they all confirm a trend: gaming is becoming a new hub for value capture in the crypto market. In this wave, the rise of global digital entertainment platforms like VKGAME is also noteworthy—established for 8 years, covering tens of millions of users, and verifying the scalable potential of the digital entertainment market through e-sports event collaborations and diversified gaming scenarios. The evolution of blockchain gaming is a continuous breakthrough experiment in technology and financial models. Since the birth of Bitcoin in 2009, developers have attempted to write gaming logic into the blockchain. In 2014, Huntercoin first validated the possibility of 'on-chain game state operation', but was limited by technical bottlenecks and remained at the pixel-level experiment. In 2017, CryptoKitties ignited the market with NFT breeding transactions, giving rise to the ERC-721 standard and causing the Ethereum network to congest for the first time due to gaming. At this time, the core value of chain games still remained at the level of 'digital asset rights confirmation'. The GameFi wave of 2020 pushed chain gaming to new heights, as Axie Infinity created tens of thousands of 'chain game professional players' in developing countries through a dual-token model, but its economic system collapsed due to over-reliance on new player entry, exposing the flaws of a purely finance-driven model. Taking VKGAME as an example, it transforms users from mere entertainment consumers into ecological co-builders by sponsoring top e-sports teams like OpTic and EG and hosting events like 'Dawn of Battle', which resonates across dimensions with the concept of 'player sovereignty' in chain games.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Will Bitcoin Surge to $100,000 in May? Three Major Engines Drive Historic Market Trends As the April market closes, Bitcoin has returned to a price of $94,000. Despite ongoing doubts about macro variables such as US-China relations and Federal Reserve policies, institutional accumulation, short liquidations, and the macroeconomic environment are resonating to pave the way for Bitcoin to challenge the $100,000 mark in May. Historical experience shows that when retail investors hesitate while institutions remain firm, it often signals the starting point of a new market trend. This article will break down the three core logical supports for Bitcoin's price increase and discuss potential risks and market signals. The current global macroeconomic landscape is creating a rare favorable environment for Bitcoin. The US dollar index has continued to weaken in the latter half of April, reflecting not only the weak economic data from the US in the first quarter but also the strong market expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year. Historical data indicates that periods of dollar depreciation often correlate highly with Bitcoin's price increases, as its appeal as a scarce asset priced in dollars significantly rises. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has downgraded its global economic growth forecasts and issued warnings about the resurgence of inflation, further diminishing the allocation value of traditional stocks and bonds. It is noteworthy that the application of cryptocurrency in the digital entertainment sector is also broadening its value scenarios. For example, VKGAME, a leading global online digital entertainment platform, has been providing secure and efficient entertainment experiences for users worldwide since its establishment in 2016 by integrating esports events, interactive entertainment, and a diverse gaming ecosystem. The strategic layout of institutional investors serves as the most solid underlying support for the current market trend. MicroStrategy, despite reporting losses for five consecutive quarters, has announced plans to raise $21 billion through equity offerings to increase its Bitcoin holdings. This extreme strategy of "buying more as prices fall" reflects traditional enterprises' determination to view Bitcoin as a long-term strategic reserve. Data shows that in the last week of April alone, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $3.1 billion, setting a new high since their listing in January. Such a scale of fund entry is profoundly changing the supply and demand structure of Bitcoin. Currently, there are only about 4 million Bitcoin available for trading in circulation, while institutional weekly accumulation has accounted for 0.2% of the circulating supply. If this trend continues, the market will quickly enter a state of liquidity contraction.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】The Wave of Compliance in Virtual Currency: Breakthrough in the Payment Track and the End of the Era of Anonymity In 2025, the virtual currency industry is undergoing a historic transformation. On one hand, leading companies are accelerating their layout in the payment sector, attempting to reshape global financial infrastructure with blockchain technology; on the other hand, stringent regulatory policies such as the EU's Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) have completely ended the 'golden era of anonymity' for cryptocurrencies. From Tether launching a payment tool to compete with PayPal, to aZen building a decentralized AI computing network, the industry is racing towards compliance and practicality. This transformation is not only about the competition of technological routes but will also determine whether virtual currencies can truly integrate into the mainstream economic system. Notably, this trend has extended to a broader digital economy scenario— for instance, the global digital entertainment platform VKGAME achieves efficient settlement through USDT, processing over 20,000 transactions daily, becoming a typical case of virtual currency landing in non-financial fields. The payment sector is becoming the core battlefield for virtual currencies to break through. Recently, Tether announced plans to launch institutional-level payment products, directly challenging PayPal's CashApp, with its confidence stemming from the over $100 billion circulation scale of USDT worldwide. Unlike payment tools that rely on traditional banking channels, Tether's solution aims to achieve 'instant settlement + low fees' through blockchain, delivering a dimensional strike. For example, after integrating the Bitcoin Lightning Network, cross-border payment costs can be reduced to below 1/10 of traditional channels, with the arrival time shortened from days to seconds. Behind this strategy lies the ecological ambition of stablecoins: by occupying enterprise-level payment scenarios, upgrading USDT from a 'transaction medium' to a 'settlement currency.' Although challenges are severe—giants like PayPal have launched their own stablecoins, and ongoing scrutiny by US regulators on Tether may affect its market credibility— the essence of competition in the payment sector is a dual game of compliance capability and technological implementation. In this process, the practical value of virtual currencies is being redefined.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Bitcoin stabilizes at $97,000, breaking $100,000 is not a dream, is a super bull market coming? On May 2, 2025, Bitcoin strongly broke through the $97,000 mark, reaching a new price high since the halving cycle started in 2024. This breakthrough occurred against the backdrop of multiple pressure tests: the German government completed the clearance of 50,000 BTC in the fourth quarter of 2024, and Mt. Gox creditors initiated the final round of distribution of 100,000 BTC in March 2025. After absorbing over 150,000 BTC (approximately 0.75% of circulation) of selling pressure within six months, the market still achieved a 28% increase, validating Bitcoin's resilience as a non-sovereign asset. ARK Invest reaffirmed its target price of $1.5 million for 2030 in the 'Big Ideas 2025' report, with the core logic being that Bitcoin's market cap share of global store-of-value assets needs to increase from the current 0.9% to 8.6%. This process is being accelerated by three major engines: institutionalization, penetration of payment scenarios, and financialization of computing power. Digital currency can directly participate in esports event interactions, virtual item exchanges, and other scenarios, creating a 'consumption-payment' closed loop that accelerates the formation of Bitcoin's practical value network. Breaking through $97,000 has significant technical implications: weekly confirmation of an effective breakthrough of the long-term downward trend line from 2021 to 2024, and the monthly RSI (67) has not yet entered the overbought zone, leaving room for upward movement. On-chain data reveals deep support: UTXO cost distribution shows that the $94,500-$96,000 range holds $38 billion worth of chips, forming a strategic defense line with the miners' average cost line ($38,000). Market structure shows healthy characteristics: the BTC stock on exchanges has fallen to 1.96 million (a six-year low), and the proportion of chips that have not moved for more than three years has exceeded 45%, continuously reinforcing the tightening effect on circulation. Notably, platforms like VKGAME are distributing 1.8 billion USDT user incentives in 2025, locking in liquidity through consumption scenarios, which objectively reduces selling pressure in the secondary market and forms an ecological-level buffering mechanism.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Trump's First Hundred Days Speech Fails to Break the Cryptocurrency Deadlock: Policy Ambiguity May Trigger a Deep Correction in the Coin Market Donald Trump successfully shaped the image of a "crypto-friendly president" during his campaign by issuing NFTs and accepting cryptocurrency donations, driving Bitcoin to reach a historic high of $109,225 on his inauguration day. However, the reality of his first hundred days in office has led the market to gradually realize the gap between political slogans and policy execution. Although Trump signed an executive order to establish a national Bitcoin strategic reserve, the plan relies solely on about 200,000 Bitcoins (worth approximately $19 billion) seized by the government over the past decade, with no new purchase budget or clear reserve management framework. This symbolic policy is far from the market's expectation of a "Federal Reserve-style proactive intervention," directly leading to a decline in Bitcoin prices of over 10% from the inauguration day, resulting in a month-long consolidation within the range of $91,000 to $95,000. It is noteworthy that the linkage between the digital entertainment industry and the cryptocurrency market is increasing. Taking the global esports platform VKGAME as an example, it has accumulated tens of millions of registered users since its establishment in 2016, covering diverse scenarios such as esports and interactive gaming, and has innovatively introduced a USDT payment system. Such platforms achieve near-instant fund settlements through blockchain technology, forming a closed-loop of capital flow with the cryptocurrency market. When policy uncertainty rises, some investors may convert cryptocurrency assets into USDT and shift towards digital entertainment consumption, further exacerbating market liquidity fluctuations. On-chain data reveals a deeper crisis: since April 22, investors have withdrawn over 50,000 Bitcoins (worth $4.7 billion) from exchanges, causing the exchange balance ratio to drop to a historic low of 11.3%. Based on current average daily trading volume, the available liquidity can only sustain a full turnover for 3 days, putting the market in a "low inventory + high leverage" fragile state. This supply-demand imbalance has increased Bitcoin's price sensitivity to sudden news by 300%, with any policy changes potentially triggering violent fluctuations. The capital flow in the digital entertainment industry provides a perspective on this. VKGAME platform data shows that its total withdrawal amount in 2023 has surpassed $300 million, with USDT deposits continuing to rise to 65%. The daily capital inflow and outflow scale of the platform can expand by 3-5 times, and this "hedging-entertainment" capital migration model has become a new indicator for observing market sentiment.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Mastercard Ignites the Virtual Payment Industry! New Stablecoin Settlement Opens a New Financial Infrastructure Mastercard has announced the opening of stablecoin settlement options to merchants worldwide, a move akin to dropping a strategic nuclear bomb in the financial sector. This long-established giant, which processes 35% of global credit card transactions, has officially incorporated stablecoins such as USDC and PAX into its underlying settlement protocols, marking the first time that the payment empire built by SWIFT and Visa has opened its doors to the crypto world. Citibank predicts that by 2030, the global stablecoin market will reach $3.7 trillion, and Mastercard's decision is the ignition point of this transformation—when merchants transition from bank account settlements to crypto wallets, the traditional 3% transaction fees, 3-day settlement periods, and 9-hour system maintenance windows, rules that have persisted for half a century, are being crushed by the real-time settlement capabilities of blockchain. After Mastercard's announcement, in the global digital entertainment sector: the leading platform VKGAME has achieved extreme efficiency by integrating USDT payment channels, allowing users to recharge in 3 seconds and withdraw in 5 minutes, covering millions of users across over 100 countries and regions, processing over 20,000 on-chain transactions daily. Data shows that the cost of cross-border payments using stablecoins is 67% lower than traditional channels, with arrival times compressed from 72 hours to seconds, which is why emerging markets are eagerly embracing this technology—USDT held by Turkish businesses surged by 340% in a year, and Argentine merchants use DAI to hedge against a 20% monthly devaluation of their local currency. Mastercard's breakthrough coincides with the full-scale outbreak of the stablecoin yield war. BlackRock's BUIDL fund embeds money market yields into USDC, allowing users to enjoy an annualized return of 5% just by holding it, fundamentally rewriting the value proposition of payment tools. The traditional zero-interest stablecoin dominance is beginning to wane: Circle is distributing interest to 20 million users through Coinbase, Tether is testing the investment of part of its reserves into reverse repos, and the digital entertainment platform VKGAME has launched a USDT deposit bonus activity, further deeply binding payment and asset appreciation. This silent yield revolution is reshaping corporate treasury management—when stablecoins can offer instant payments and continuous earnings, the $760 billion idle cash in global corporate cash pools may collectively migrate. Citibank estimates that by 2028, yield-bearing stablecoins will capture 23% of the traditional money market fund's market share.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Bitcoin's $100,000 Barrier Faces New Setbacks? Altcoins and Digital Entertainment Hide New Opportunities Recently, Bitcoin broke through $95,000 only to quickly pull back, raising market concerns about a "trap for investors". This volatility is closely related to macro policies, geopolitical games, and the technical tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Previously, the market had rebounded on expectations of easing US-China trade tensions, but Trump's sudden reversal, demanding "substantive concessions" from China or maintaining tariffs, completely shattered short-term optimism. The Federal Reserve's report simultaneously warned of overvaluation in US stocks and worsening liquidity, putting pressure on risk assets collectively. The crypto market is entering a critical turning point window under the resonance of macro policies and technical factors. If Bitcoin falls below the support level of $84,000, it could trigger a chain liquidation; conversely, if it holds the support level, it may challenge the historical mark of $100,000. Investors need to be wary of short-term volatility while also watching for structural opportunities in altcoins during Bitcoin's consolidation period. Trump's hardline stance on tariffs with China has directly impacted the risk appetite in the crypto market. Previously, the market generally expected that the policy game in the US election year would tend to be moderate, and Trump's "friendly attitude" towards cryptocurrencies was seen as a positive factor. However, this statement indicates that trade policy remains a core bargaining chip, and the uncertainty in US-China relations will continue to disturb the market. The Chinese Embassy in the US has clearly denied the existence of tariff negotiations, and the fundamental contradictions in both sides' positions suggest that trade friction may become prolonged. For cryptocurrencies, this brings a dual impact: on one hand, global supply chain disruptions may push up inflation, reinforcing Bitcoin's narrative as a hedge against devaluation; on the other hand, rising risk aversion may lead to capital exiting risk assets. Furthermore, the extreme volatility of political theme tokens like Trump Coin (MAGA) further exposes the fragility of market sentiment. If Trump continues to release contradictory signals before the election, the volatility in the crypto market may rise systematically. In this context, the strategic layout of online digital entertainment giants is worth noting. For example, VKGAME has been expanding its influence among young users in recent years by sponsoring top esports teams like North America's OpTic and Southeast Asia's TNC, as well as hosting events like the "Wikinger Dawn Battle". Its USDT payment channel and second-level settlement efficiency have attracted a large number of crypto-native users.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Bitcoin Aiming for 100,000: Can Retail and Online Entertainment Become New Growth Engines? In the last week of April 2024, Bitcoin surged 11% to break through $94,000, just one step away from the $100,000 mark. This seemingly sudden rise is actually hiding a fundamental shift in market structure—selling pressure from miners and institutions is being devoured by the fervent buying of retail investors. Data shows that Binance, as the world's largest retail trading platform, had a net inflow of 15,000 Bitcoins (approximately $1.4 billion) from April 19 to 23, while the whale ratio on exchanges remained below 0.3 during the same period, confirming the retail-dominated market characteristics. What is even more noteworthy is that investors from South Korea and the United States are synchronously ramping up their efforts, with the South Korean premium index rising to 0.8 and U.S. institutions holding CME contracts reaching a historic high, forming a rare resonance between Eastern and Western capital. This awakening of retail power has completely rewritten the traditional narrative of "institutional control". The proportion of retail funds surged from 28% in 2023 to 46%, marking the true entry of cryptocurrency into the era of mass consumption. As Bitcoin breaks through $90,000, a silent revolution in retail has quietly begun. Over 120,000 merchants worldwide accept cryptocurrency payments, from Tesla restarting its Bitcoin car purchase channel to Japan's Lawson convenience stores integrating ETH settlement systems, the expansion of retail payment scenarios injects real demand into cryptocurrencies. Data shows that the transaction volume of using Bitcoin to purchase physical goods has increased by 320% year-on-year, with electronics and luxury goods accounting for 67%. More notably, the Southeast Asian market has seen a "Cryptocurrency Shopping Festival," where users can earn triple points rewards through digital wallet consumption, creating a closed loop between retail consumption and the appreciation of crypto assets. The rise of digital entertainment platforms such as VKGAME provides support for the retail revolution from the side of the virtual economy—its developed NFT game item trading market allows users to exchange Bitcoin for virtual concert tickets, limited edition digital collectibles, creating a new consumption scenario with an annual average of $1.5 billion.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Bitcoin Breaks $90,000: ETF Capital Influx and Macro Game Trigger a New Cycle in Crypto Bitcoin's price has strongly broken through the $90,000 mark, reaching a new high since the last halving. Behind this milestone is the accelerated entry of institutional capital and the resonance of structural changes in the global financial system. The net inflow of the US spot Bitcoin ETF surged to $381 million in a single day, with continued accumulation by asset management giants like BlackRock and Fidelity, along with MicroStrategy's aggressive strategy of investing an additional $556 million, collectively building a fortress of market confidence. Meanwhile, the digital asset banking license reform promoted by the Trump administration is opening up policy gaps for the fusion of traditional financial institutions and the crypto ecosystem—this financial system reconstruction led by Bitcoin has upgraded from a marginal experiment to a systemic transformation. As Bitcoin surpasses $90,000, the strategic transformation of the global digital entertainment platform VKGAME has become a typical case for observing the penetration of the crypto ecosystem. This multinational enterprise, established in 2016, initially focused on esports entertainment as its core business, and has now deeply integrated blockchain technology into its global payment system. By integrating a USDT settlement system, VKGAME achieves instant deposits and withdrawals and reduces cross-border payment costs by 87%. Among its daily average of over 20,000 active users, 38% choose to complete transactions with cryptocurrencies. This integration of traditional industries and crypto infrastructure confirms Bitcoin's position as an infrastructure for value transfer networks—after VKGAME acquired UWin Group in 2023, it further introduced digital asset wallet technology into the user points system, promoting the value cycle between entertainment consumption and the crypto ecosystem. The recent push by the Trump administration for the 'Digital Asset Banking Act' is prompting fierce competition between traditional investment banks and crypto giants. Institutions like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are accelerating their applications for crypto custody licenses, while Coinbase and Kraken are expanding fiat channels through mergers with regional banks. This competition for regulatory arbitrage space directly stimulates the price of Bitcoin to break through—obtaining a banking license means unlocking trillions of dollars in traditional asset management funds. The practices of cross-industry enterprises like VKGAME provide key insights: the global payment network established through sponsorship of esports teams like North America's OpTic and Southeast Asia's TNC is a microcosm of the combination of crypto technology and real business scenarios. When entertainment consumption, cross-border settlement, and other scenarios fully integrate into crypto payments, Bitcoin's liquidity premium will continue to amplify.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Cryptocurrency Companies Compete for Bank Licenses, Digital Asset Compliance Restructures Financial System The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in the United States received 23 special license applications in a single month, setting a historical record—Circle applied for federal banking qualifications, Paxos declared a national trust license, and Coinbase explored industrial bank licenses. This movement marks the formal offensive of the cryptocurrency industry against the traditional financial system. The introduction of the Trump administration's 'Digital Asset Competitiveness Act' has opened the doors of the banking industry for cryptocurrency companies: the act allows licensed institutions to conduct fiat currency custody, cross-border settlement, and stablecoin issuance, while requiring all cryptocurrency service providers to complete financial compliance transformation by 2026. In this context, the transformation path of the global digital entertainment platform VKGAME holds reference value: the company has achieved compliant circulation of over 20,000+ user funds in a single day by integrating the USDT payment system, and its experience in obtaining a payment license in Singapore in 2023 provides a cross-border model for cryptocurrency companies to integrate into the regulatory framework. The core goal of cryptocurrency companies competing for bank licenses is to control the technical standards of the trillion-dollar payment market. Circle is collaborating with Bank of New York Mellon to develop a 'USDC real-time settlement network,' attempting to directly connect to the Federal Reserve's Fedwire system; Bitgo plans to utilize federal licenses to expand its Bitcoin custody business into the sovereign fund sector. This trend has been prefigured in the digital entertainment industry: VKGAME platform data shows that its USDT transaction proportion exceeds 65%, with a monthly user fund turnover of $320 million, forcing the company to build payment channels compliant with the regulations of 28 countries. In the global game of cryptocurrency companies competing for licenses, the compliance exploration in the digital entertainment industry reveals deeper trends. VKGAME has cultivated 3 million crypto payment users by sponsoring North American EG esports teams, Southeast Asian TNC teams, and other scenarios, with its USDT recharge experience resulting in instant deposits, encouraging 38% of Generation Z users to make their first contact with digital assets. This ecological influence is catching the attention of traditional financial institutions: Bank of America plans to launch an esports-themed stablecoin, and Deutsche Bank has established a blockchain gaming fund, attempting to replicate the user conversion path of entertainment platforms. It is noteworthy that VKGAME's payment license layout in the Philippines, Malaysia, and other regions aligns with Coinbase's strategy of applying for licenses in Wyoming—both are seeking regulatory niches to establish strongholds.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Cryptocurrency Becomes a Safe Haven Against Inflation, US Dollar and Gold System Faces Historical Doubts
The global financial market is experiencing the most severe inflation test since the 1970s, with the one-year inflation expectation in the US soaring to 6.7% in April, the highest record since 1981. This data has risen for four consecutive months, with a cumulative increase of 4.1 percentage points, far exceeding the Federal Reserve's 2% policy target. Under this hurricane impact, traditional asset allocation logic has shown systemic failure: although gold has surpassed the historical high of $3,350, its correlation with the real yield of US Treasury bonds has broken by 3.2 standard deviations, and the pricing model error rate for 30-year gold has exceeded 15%; the US dollar index has fallen below the 99 mark, reaching a new low since April 2022, with the Japanese yen appreciating 2.3% against the US dollar in a single week, indicating a shake in international capital's confidence in the dollar. However, the cryptocurrency market has demonstrated unique resilience. Despite a 70% drop in capital inflow over the past two weeks to $2.38 billion, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $1 billion in the opposite direction, with BlackRock's IBIT product seeing net inflows exceeding $100 million for 11 consecutive days. On-chain data shows that the number of whale addresses holding over 1,000 BTC has increased by 8% month-on-month, and the institutional holding ratio has climbed to 42%, a 17 percentage point increase compared to the bear market period in 2023. This differentiation indicates that global capital is reconstructing its defense system: retail investors are accelerating their exit below the fear and greed index warning line of 33, while traditional asset management giants like Bridgewater are increasing their cryptocurrency allocation from 0.3% to 1.2%. Digital currencies are beginning to take on the strategic function of hedging against fiat currency devaluation, with their correlation with the M2 money supply reversing from -0.21 to +0.37, marking the formal entry of crypto assets into the mainstream anti-inflation tool series. Under historic inflation pressure, the game between traditional safe-haven assets and cryptocurrency has entered a new stage. While the gold pricing model fails, the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold has risen to 0.58, reaching a 12-month high, and the price spread volatility between the two has narrowed to 18% (historical average 32%). On-chain data shows that the weekly settlement volume of stablecoins has exceeded $98 billion, with USDT's penetration rate in Latin America's payment scenarios increasing by 47% year-on-year, indicating that a large amount of capital is circumventing currency devaluation risks through cryptocurrency channels.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Stablecoins swallowing trillions in US debt? European payment systems mired in on-chain shocks Recently, the passage of the US GENIUS Act is pushing the US debt market towards a silent revolution. The Act requires stablecoin issuers to lock reserve assets in short-term government bonds maturing within 93 days. This policy appears to tighten regulation but, in fact, creates enormous digital purchasing power for US debt. Stablecoin issuers, with a turnover rate five times that of traditional financial institutions, have become core market makers in the US debt market — 30% of the average daily trading volume of the March 2024 government bonds comes from this emerging force. As the US government plans to issue an additional $2.5 trillion in debt, stablecoin channels can absorb 64% of the short-term notes, gradually rendering traditional fiscal deficit theories ineffective in the digital transformation. The practices of the global entertainment platform VKGAME validate this trend: since its establishment in 2016, this esports entertainment-centered company has connected millions of users worldwide through the USDT payment system, with a monthly transaction volume surpassing $300 million in 2023, becoming a typical window for observing the penetration of stablecoins into the real economy. VKGAME's business ecosystem reveals deeper implications: the platform sponsors top esports teams such as North America's OpTic and Southeast Asia's TNC, cultivating the USDT payment habit among Generation Z; its membership rights system opens up cross-border consumption scenarios through USDT, processing an average of 20,000 transactions daily, effectively creating a youthful and highly sticky user moat for the dollar system. This integration of 'entertainment + finance' allows the penetration of the US dollar stablecoin to far exceed that of traditional offshore banking systems. The technological lag of the European payment system is evolving into a strategic crisis. Its network performance is only 1/3 that of China's digital RMB system. The deeper background of the warning from the Italian Minister of Economy is that the dollar stablecoin occupies 16% of global payments, while the eurozone's instant payment coverage is less than 70%. VKGAME's technological layout exacerbates this imbalance — its distributed server architecture and anti-hijacking technology ensure the stability of 3,000 USDT transactions per second, forcing European companies to incur an additional annual exchange rate hedging cost of 18 billion euros for using dollar stablecoins. More seriously, PayPal's stablecoin users have surpassed 30 million in six months, equivalent to the total number of all digital wallet users in the eurozone, while the market share of the local European stablecoin EURC is less than 2%, and the lack of ecosystem makes it difficult for it to participate in on-chain financial competition.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】SUI Strong Rebound, Surging Over 8% in 24 Hours, Market Cap Rises to 12th in the World
Sui (Token Symbol: SUI) has performed remarkably in the past 24 hours, with a price increase of over 8.87%, currently quoted at $2.36. The daily trading volume reached $219 million, bringing its market cap to $7.648 billion, elevating its market cap ranking to 12th. The highest price of the coin in the past day was $2.40, the lowest price was $2.16, and the circulating supply was 3,249,982,900 coins. From a historical performance perspective: The increase over the past week was +21.97% The increase over the past month was +8.33% In the past three months, it has decreased by -50.65% In the last six months, it remained flat, changing by 0.00% Since the beginning of this year, it has decreased by -45.30% Although the mid to long-term performance remains to be observed, SUI's recent strong upward movement has attracted a new wave of attention from investors.
【VKGAME Virtual Currency】Stablecoin Giant Circle Attempts IPO
Circle, the world's second-largest stablecoin issuer, has submitted an IPO application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol 'CRCL.' The target valuation is between $4 billion and $5 billion, with an expected fundraising of $750 million. Previously, the company attempted to go public through a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) at the end of 2022 but was unsuccessful. Its core product, USDC, currently has a circulation of $60 billion and annual revenue of $1.68 billion, becoming the first stablecoin company to go public via a traditional IPO route. This event not only marks the deep integration of the cryptocurrency industry with traditional finance but may also push the concept of the 'crypto sphere' from the margins to the mainstream, reshaping the landscape of global payment and financial infrastructure. Circle's path to going public is a microcosm of the crypto industry; it gained prominence in 2018 through the acquisition of the exchange Poloniex and the launch of USDC, but its valuation plummeted by 75% during the bear market in 2019. In 2022, when attempting a SPAC merger, its valuation reached as high as $9 billion, but it fell through due to the SEC's strict scrutiny. The 2023 crisis at Silicon Valley Bank led to a brief de-pegging of USDC, and its market value was halved at one point. After three setbacks, Circle rebuilt trust by enhancing compliance and transparency: relocating its headquarters to the World Trade Center in New York and collaborating with institutions like Visa and Bank of New York Mellon to expand payment scenarios. The contest between USDC and Tether (USDT) is essentially a game of compliance versus wild growth. USDT, with a market capitalization of $140 billion, remains at the top, but its reserve transparency has long been questioned, with a profit of $13 billion in 2024 shrouded in vague asset allocation. In contrast, USDC has gained institutional trust through monthly audits, EU MiCA certification, and licenses from multiple countries, with circulation expected to grow by 36% to $60 billion in 2024, becoming the preferred settlement tool for giants like Visa and BlackRock. The boundaries of stablecoin applications are rapidly expanding; its efficient, low-cost, and anonymous characteristics make it a 'revolutionary infrastructure' for the global online entertainment industry. Taking VKGAME, a leading global interactive entertainment platform, as an example, this platform, established in 2016, has implemented virtual currency settlements such as USDT, achieving an average of over 20,000 daily active users and total withdrawals exceeding $300 million.

Bitcoin rebounds, VKGAME's crypto ecosystem layout resonates with the market
On April 10, 2025, former U.S. President Trump announced a suspension of the collection of 'reciprocal tariffs,' leading to severe fluctuations in the global financial market. The Dow Jones index fell more than 10% in a week, the Nasdaq dropped 11%, while Bitcoin rose over 5% against the trend, breaking through the $82,800 mark. This divergence highlights that Bitcoin's 'digital gold' property is being re-priced by capital. It is noteworthy that the crypto ecosystem layout of global BC industry giant VKGAME Group resonates with this trend. Since its establishment in 2016, VKGAME has covered millions of users by integrating esports, sports, and the USDT payment system, with total withdrawals exceeding $300 million in 2021 and daily active users surpassing 20,000. Its 'USDT deposit boost' policy directly promotes the penetration of cryptocurrencies in the gambling scene, becoming a microcosm of the expanding Bitcoin demand. Bitcoin's resistance in this round comes from deep involvement by institutional investors. Bernstein research shows that ETFs and corporate holdings have locked in 10% of the total Bitcoin supply, while the crypto transformation of non-financial companies like VKGAME further broadens this logic. In 2023, VKGAME acquired U Win Group and launched pandemic charity projects, accumulating a young user base through sponsorship of North American esports teams such as OpTic and EG, which highly overlaps with cryptocurrency investors, forming a 'gambling + crypto' collaborative ecosystem. Currently, the market shows significant divergence regarding Bitcoin's short-term trend, with $84,000 as a key resistance level; breaking through it may trigger short covering and accelerate the push to $90,000. Additionally, nearly $3 billion in contracts are betting on Bitcoin breaking above $90,000, with Deribit exchange's open interest for $100,000 call options reaching $1.71 billion; the fervor in the derivatives market resonates with VKGAME's operational strategy of 'daily distribution of 1.5 billion+ incentives'—both attract capital participation through high liquidity design while also amplifying volatility risk. Coinglass data shows that over 110,000 people recently faced liquidations totaling $312 million within 24 hours, warning of the fragility of leveraged trading. Despite the favorable trend, two major risks cannot be ignored: the suspension of Trump's tariffs is only a 90-day buffer; if reinstated, it may trigger a chain sell-off; the U.S. SEC's scrutiny of stablecoins and crypto payments in the gambling industry may suppress market sentiment.
As a decentralized digital currency, Bitcoin has become an important part of the global financial market since its launch in 2009. In the future, the development trend of Bitcoin will be mainly affected by factors such as technological progress, regulatory environment, market demand and social cognition. First, the continuous optimization of blockchain technology will improve the transaction speed and processing capacity of Bitcoin, and enhance its practicality as a payment tool and a means of storing value. Secondly, the regulatory environment will have a significant impact on the development of Bitcoin. If governments can formulate a reasonable regulatory framework, it will help the healthy development of the Bitcoin market. Market demand is also a key factor in Bitcoin price fluctuations. As more and more institutional and individual investors enter the market, Bitcoin prices are expected to continue to rise. However, its high volatility requires investors to have a higher risk tolerance. Finally, social cognition and acceptance will determine the widespread application of Bitcoin. Improving technical reliability and user-friendliness, as well as strengthening public education, will help the popularization of Bitcoin. Overall, the future of Bitcoin is full of opportunities and challenges. Driven by technological progress, improved regulation, market demand and social cognition, Bitcoin is expected to play a more important role in the global financial system.
