According to Bloomberg, brokerage firms and related organizations in China have been asked to stop publishing research or organizing seminars to promote stablecoins.
The reason is that China is concerned that stablecoins could be exploited as a new tool for illegal fundraising activities in the country.
This move comes amid Beijing's continued overall ban on crypto, while stablecoins are actually becoming a craze due to their potential use in cross-border payments.
In contrast to the mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passed a stablecoin bill in May, creating a clear legal framework for organizations issuing digital assets linked to fiat currency and attracting strong interest from Chinese businesses. #Write2Earn $BTC

The paradox of buying when the coin drops, and selling when the coin rises
Those who participate in crypto have surely experienced this feeling: Whenever you buy a coin, it drops; whenever you sell a coin, it rises. Holding long-term feels sluggish, while others' coins soar rapidly. Even when your coin rises, it does so slowly, never the fastest.
Worse, when you FOMO in, the price reverses, and when you panic and cut losses, the market rebounds. Just when the price is right for DCA, you're out of cash,...
Feels like the whole universe is against you, right?
Those who frequently participate in running events probably understand this feeling. Whenever you run halfway, you often feel like you’re falling behind - the front is full of people passing you, and the back is empty.
But when you reach the finish line and look at the results, you realize: you even belong to the top 50% of those who finish early, not too bad!
The simple reason: On the running path, you only SEE the people passing you, while not noticing those you have left behind.
Crypto is just the same. Opening X, you only see people flexing huge profits, making millions, flaunting Lambos, taking pictures on yachts,... You only see the coins rising the fastest, not the thousands of coins that are dying slowly. You compare yourself to the best, the top, and then feel inferior.
This mindset of "looking at this mountain while longing for that mountain" has killed countless investors. Acting on FOMO emotions, jumping back and forth, lacking a clear strategy, and thus falling into the market's trap.
Have you ever been in a situation like this? Let's share insights below! #coin
🇻🇳F0 Investors About to Dive into Crypto - What to Keep in Mind?
According to experts, the recognition of cryptocurrency assets in Vietnam, especially the research allowing the pilot opening of exchanges, is very likely to trigger a new wave of F0 investors.
"Previously, due to concerns about legality and trading risks, many people did not participate. But soon, when the legal framework is cleared, and there are domestic exchanges ensuring safety, it is highly likely that more new players will appear in the Crypto market," said Sơn Thùy, an expert on Crypto.
However, most long-term participants interviewed also agreed that Crypto is not a game for beginners:
- According to Thùy: Unlike the stock market, Crypto has high volatility, trading 24/7, so the line between the dream of doubling assets and the nightmare of losing assets when participating in cryptocurrency trading is extremely thin.
- Hòa, a Crypto investor with many years of experience, stated: The crash of Mantra (OM) 4 months ago caused many local players to almost lose all their assets.
- Dũng Nguyễn, an investor living in Hanoi, recounted: In May 2022, due to not thoroughly researching the information, when he saw the price of LUNA drop 10 times (~$8), he decided to invest 200 million at the bottom. As a result, this amount of money was almost completely lost.

This is an initiative aimed at modernizing the securities legal framework, bringing the U.S. financial market into the on-chain era. It is part of a strategy to realize President Trump's vision: to make the U.S. a global Crypto hub.
🔑 5 pillars of Project Crypto: 1. Classification of digital assets (securities, commodities, stablecoins…) with specific guidelines. 2. Attracting businesses back to the U.S., supporting the legal issuance of tokens in the U.S. 3. Protecting self-custody rights, updating regulations for financial institutions holding digital assets. 4. Allowing all-in-one platforms (integrating securities, crypto, staking, lending…) to operate with one license. 5. Protecting developers, supporting DeFi activities such as AMM to operate legally.#sec $XRP
In June, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index rose +2.6% compared to the same period last year - higher than the forecast (2.5%) and the previous month (2.3%).
The core PCE index (excluding volatile food and energy prices) recorded an increase of +2.8% compared to the same period last year - higher than expectations (2.7%) but unchanged from the previous month.
Additionally, May's PCE inflation was revised upward from +2.3% to +2.4%. The core PCE inflation for May was also revised upward from +2.7% to +2.8%.
👉The FED's preferred inflation measure is returning to an upward trend (increasing for 2 consecutive months and the highest since February 2025).
This data may make the FED's path to interest rate cuts bumpier as Powell emphasizes the need for more evidence of a sustainable decline in inflation towards the 2% target. #Write2Earn $BTC

S&P 500 (SPX) broke below its July 25th low, signaling weakness in traditional markets.
Bitcoin (BTC) held above the same key level, showing relative strength compared to equities.
🔍 Technical Insight: BTC’s ability to hold support despite macro pressure suggests it's being viewed — at least temporarily — as a hedge or safe haven asset.
📌 Conclusion:
BTC Watch: If it continues to hold above the 114,781 USDT level, a bounce could follow.
SPX Weakness: Further decline in equities could add pressure across markets, but BTC's relative strength is a bullish sign.
July employment data along with the US Q2 GDP rebounded strongly
US private sector ADP jobs increased by 104K in July, the strongest increase since March 2025, far exceeding expectations of 75K and reversing from a decrease of -33K the previous month.
Q2 GDP 🇺🇸 also surged to 3%, exceeding the forecast of 2.4% and reversing from -0.5% of the previous quarter, indicating that the US economy is recovering well, reducing recession concerns.
These positive data continue to give the Fed reason to maintain interest rates at the meeting at 1 AM tomorrow. #fed $BTC
