In October 2008, a person using the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" published the Bitcoin whitepaper. On January 3, 2009, the Bitcoin genesis block was mined, marking the official birth of cryptocurrency. Its original intention was a response to the fragile banking system at the time.
NFT: Sprouted in 2014, exploded in 2021
The concept of NFT first appeared in 2014, initially just a niche experiment within the tech community. In 2017, projects like CryptoPunks and CryptoKitties began bringing it into the public eye. But its true peak in popularity was from 2021 to 2022, with Beeple’s record-breaking auction and the viral success of the "Bored Ape" series making NFT a global cultural phenomenon.
The demise of altcoins: a structural "liquidation"
You feel that many previously famous altcoins are disappearing, and this is not an illusion. Data shows that more than half of the tokens created since mid-2021 have "died," ceasing active trading. In 2025 alone, about 11.6 million tokens went to zero, accounting for 86.3% of all failures in the past five years. Historically, 71.9% of projects that once entered the top 100 by market cap have actually died.
The pattern of demise can be summarized into several clear modes:
Distorted financing models: The ICO (Initial Coin Offering) bubble of 2017-2018 spawned many speculative projects, later cracked down by regulators. After founders turned to venture capital (VC), the 2021-2022 VC bubble spawned a batch of "overvalued, low-quality" projects. When the market cooled and VCs faced exit pressure, these tokens lacking real support were the first to fall.
Narrative before product: Many projects painted grand narratives like Web3 and GameFi before the technology was mature. When users repeatedly found promises unfulfilled and trust was exhausted, "no newcomers came in," and projects lost their foundational value.
Backlash of "open access": Extremely low token issuance thresholds led to a flood of speculative "meme coins" and experimental projects with almost no R&D support, which often disappeared after just a few transactions.
Therefore, the demise of altcoins is not accidental but a structural "liquidation" process driven by a financing bubble, narrative exhaustion, and low entry barriers.
The "US-led" dominant digital currencies
The so-called "US-led" digital currencies are not an official classification but refer to projects issued or led by companies registered and operating in the United States. At the policy level (such as proposals suggesting capital gains tax exemption for "US-made" cryptocurrencies), this has strategic significance.
Some projects with important market positions under this framework include:
XRP (Ripple): Led by the US company Ripple Labs, focusing on cross-border payments.
Solana (SOL): Founded by the US company Solana Labs, representing high-performance public blockchains.
USD Coin (USDC): A compliant stablecoin jointly issued by US companies Circle and Coinbase.
Avalanche (AVAX), Stellar (XLM), Chainlink (LINK), and others are also commonly included as active projects in this category.
Bitcoin and Ethereum, as decentralized networks, have core developers and ecosystems closely linked to the US but are generally not simply classified as "US-led projects."
💔 The fading narrative of "decentralization"
You keenly sense that the term "decentralization" is rarely seriously discussed anymore, and this observation is accurate. Its fading stems from the huge gap between ideals and structural realities.
A key fact is: the whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto never actually uses the word "decentralization." It repeatedly emphasizes "Distributed," aiming to "remove the need for a trusted third party."
However, the operational reality shows a high degree of structural concentration:
Infrastructure layer: Bitcoin mining hash power has long been controlled 60-70% by the top few mining pools.
Trading and custody layer: The vast majority of users’ asset flows still go through centralized exchanges (CEX).
Governance layer: Many DeFi protocols appear as DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) on the surface, but upgrade rights and pause rights are often held by core teams or multisig wallets.
Power transfer rather than dissipation: Power has shifted from banks and governments to VCs, foundations, mining pools, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers, reconcentrating in new places.
The market ultimately votes with its feet: most people choose a more centralized but more convenient path. Decentralization has shifted from a core organizational principle to more of a marketing term rather than the true operational axis.
🤫 Binance hack "silence": when a crisis no longer spreads
You noticed that the Binance hack (involving about $6.3 billion) was met with "no noise" in public opinion, which precisely reveals the current structural characteristics of the industry. The market reaction was calm because the crisis was structurally "isolated":
Loss fully absorbed: Binance used over $6.34 billion of its own funds to cover 100% of the loss, with user assets unaffected.
Selling pressure is "two-way": The stolen funds were from hot wallets, not cold wallet main storage. Meanwhile, Binance bought large amounts of scarce tokens on the market to replenish reserves, creating strong buy pressure that hedged potential hacker sell-offs.
Lack of panic transmission chain: Unlike the panic of "exchange collapse" during the FTX crash, withdrawal functions quickly resumed this time, and a large portion of stolen assets were frozen, cutting off the "Binance collapse → market panic" transmission chain.
When a leading player in an industry has the ability and willingness to internalize systemic risk with its own capital, a crisis that should be "historic" is downgraded in public perception to an operational event that needs to be "handled," rather than an industry faith crisis that needs to be "discussed." Is this good or bad news?870,000 living people's resumes were sold overseas, exchanging for 7.46 million — the settlement method was virtual currency.
In the first case, Wang and 10 others resold citizens' personal information, paying fees in virtual currency, involving over 1.98 million yuan. The second case was even more severe: Lin Feng and 20 others illegally obtained and sold over 870,000 job applicants' information overseas, with illegal gains also settled in virtual currency, involving over 7.46 million yuan.
870,000 entries represent the names, phone numbers, and work experience of 870,000 living people. Sold overseas, exchanged for 7.46 million.
Why does this industry love using stablecoins? Cross-border, instant, no intermediary banks, almost zero friction. $USDT transfers are so cheap they can be used like cash, which is exactly why it was chosen. But "no intermediary banks" does not mean "no chain" — every on-chain transfer's address, time, and amount are permanently public; judicial evidence collection seeks relationship graphs, not isolated points.
My judgment: law enforcement focus is shifting from "arresting people" to "cutting off settlements." The real risk is not in large amounts but in those "helping friends transfer a bit" small orders, which eventually all connect to the same graph.
Therefore, wallets should be layered: large cold storage, daily small amounts, exchange deposits each separate, same for $BTC and $ETH. Not to hide, but to avoid joint liability.
A question remains: when the settlement method itself becomes the main evidence line, should the first upgrade be technology or risk awareness of "helping friends transfer a bit"?After lunch, I checked the ETF fund situation. Today, ETF net inflow: BTC took about 80%, ETH only a bit over 20%.
Does this mean no one wants ETH? No. ETH also had a net inflow of 29.39 million today, the positive number is real, just overshadowed by BTC's 105 million in scale.
The cumulative data shows the same pattern: BTC accumulated 58.5 billion, ETH accumulated 13.4 billion, still roughly an 80/20 split. This is not a coincidence but an old habit of the funds.
The market also matches this: BTC is consolidating around 78,184, ETH stands near 2,284, SOL is pressured below 94.4. Today, two positives and one negative, no clear one-sided move.
Positions are quieter: the three major mainstream coins all eased off within 0.2% in one hour. The total network position is 137.18 billion, up only 0.21%. Trading volume surged to 103.8 billion, up 48.97%, volume is entering but positions are not following.
Liquidations are not calm: 135 million in one day across the network, up 74.55%, with BTC and ETH accounting for more than half. Those chasing highs are paying their tuition first.
So my view is simple: the 80/20 split is not a conclusion but a division of labor. BTC takes the incremental inflow, ETH holds the base positions, and SOL needs to see if it can reclaim 94.4.
Tonight at 11 PM there is ISM manufacturing data expected between 54.5 and 54.7. Before the result, I won’t add positions, just maintain this ratio and wait for it to change.
Only when the ratio flips to 50/50 will it be a signal for ETH to take over. Until then, don’t cheer for it to surpass BTC.$BTC, $ETH Midterm elections are approaching, how to operate in the short term?
Tomorrow's US midterm elections are the biggest uncertainty bomb right now, directly determining the degree of crypto regulation looseness or strictness in the next two years. Everyone must be clear about this.
If the Democrats take control of Congress, crypto regulation will tighten, SEC investigations and restrictions will increase, the CLARITY Act will basically have no chance of advancing, which is a real negative for both Bitcoin and Ethereum; if the Republicans firmly control power, industry policy expectations will be relaxed, and funds will dare to go long.
The market has already started to play the expectations in advance. This morning's BTC and ETH rebound is essentially funds betting on the election result in advance, not a trend reversal. Historically, when such news is realized, good news leads to profit-taking and price drops, bad news accelerates the decline. Do not blindly chase highs and get trapped at the news peak.
Our direction is very clear: continue to short on rebounds. Short Bitcoin in the 78,500-79,000 range, enter Ethereum at 2,300-2,320.
Before the election results come out, keep positions light, do not go all in. Treat all rallies as bull traps, do not guess the result, just follow the market levels to execute the plan.
The next article by Beichen will explain why he is more optimistic about a Republican victory!
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ 2:30 PM, the most sleepy time. Just glanced at the market, almost made me laugh out loud. The main market is sleeping, but a few altcoins are performing a big revival. The main players' eating habits are really shameless. Don't get itchy just by looking at the red and green bars.
First, look at $HYPE, current price 86.4. This one is consolidating at a high level. The funniest thing is the 4-hour long-short ratio, which dropped sharply from 2.17 to 1.45 like a roller coaster. The price barely fell, but retail investors were scared and frantically cutting losses. However, looking closely, the funding rate occasionally turns negative, indicating the bulls lack confidence. Chasing here has a very low risk-reward ratio.
Next, look at $ZEC, current price 1266. The bears had a great time recently, but now the bulls are howling to bottom-fish again. The long-short ratio climbed hard from 0.48 back to 0.83. It's a typical fence-sitting market, with wicks going up and down washing out both sides. Both sides want to profit, but in the end, both often get slapped in the face.
The sneakiest is $UNI, current price 7.1. The 4-hour long-short ratio directly pulled up to 2.36. Above 7.4 is all previous trapped positions. Retail investors are still crazily adding positions below. Isn't this obviously a bull trap set by the main players? Once the main market shows a little resistance, the long positions will definitely be crushed like dry grass.
My view: The afternoon is just a low-volume oscillation, altcoins fighting their own battles, emotions extremely torn. Control your hands, don't be fooled by the main players' fake moves.
Among these three coins, who do you think will dive first to wash out positions? Whose positions are you holding now?
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ $BTC
5833 BTC. This afternoon, a listed company called Next Technology said it will handle this batch of coins, either selling them or using them as collateral. At the current price of 78163, that's about 456 million USD.
Last week, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of 203 million, with Fidelity's FBTC alone withdrawing 166 million. This kind of selling pressure at the listed company level has been continuous for months.
But the market hasn't collapsed. BTC is now at 78163, up 0.35% in 24 hours, with a daily low of 77600, a perpetual funding rate of +0.0069%, open interest at 2.63 billion USD, and 33,700 BTC; the bulls haven't been scared off.
While coins are being sold, leverage hasn't given up. I've encountered this kind of stalemate a few times; the outcome is usually a sideways grind until one side can't take it anymore. My inclination is not to chase shorts or rush to buy at this level, but to let it choose its own direction.
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ Is a 99.7% drop still not enough? CORE's “slow knife to cut losses”: Why it is said to be heading towards zero
As of November 2, CORE was priced at about $0.0136, down more than 99.7% from its all-time high, with a market cap of only about $13 to $14 million, having fallen into the small-cap high-risk zone.
It’s not without a narrative. CORE focuses on BTCFi, once attracting funds with “Bitcoin PoS layer + EVM compatibility + buyback and burn.” But the problem is: the narrative remains, but the funds have left.
The crash began in March 2026 when the ecosystem protocol Colend triggered a liquidation cascade, plunging over 50% in a single day. Since then, TVL has been sluggish, there have been no hit applications, tokens continue unlocking, and rebounds have repeatedly been crushed by sell pressure. More critically, in September it was revealed that validators received excess tokens, multiple exchanges suspended deposits and withdrawals, further damaging trust.
Currently, CORE’s liquidity is thin, and even a small sell-off can push it to new lows. It may not hit zero immediately, but it is already in a “semi-zombie” state.
Do the altcoins in your hands carry similar risks? Let’s discuss in the comments.$TRX hackers exchanged 638 million TRX directly before USDT was frozen.
These chips cannot be forcibly banned, effectively becoming a live bomb hanging over everyone's head. On-chain automated scripts are already splitting the involved funds layer by layer into multiple addresses, clearly intending to launder them out in batches on the secondary market.
The current market support is only at this level; once this batch starts rushing to sell, leveraged long positions chasing the highs will be liquidated in minutes.

👇#苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 Why are so many people optimistic that Apple's earnings report will exceed expectations? Last quarter's beat was already somewhat exhausted, barely maintaining growth beyond expectations thanks to tax refunds. This time it's clearly different:
First, costs have risen; the sharp increase in storage prices has driven up Apple's costs and reduced profit margins, and although the new generation 18 products have increased prices, they were only on sale for about 10 days within the reporting period.
Second, Apple itself forecasts a growth rate of 9-11%, which is somewhat below the market's 13% estimate, but I believe Apple's forecast is closer to reality.
Third, the truth is held by a few!When it comes to insider information from project teams in prediction markets, I usually start with a question mark. You can still discuss price trends in coin trading, but here you're betting on whether specific events will happen; even how an announcement is worded can affect the judgment. When the odds change, I can't tell if new information has come in or if the market is too thin and being pushed by capital. Doing business requires verifying the goods; in the crypto world, even the source of the information is skipped? When asked for the source, they say it's inconvenient to disclose, so I have to bear the cost of this information myself.Capital Flow: ETF's "Monthly Outflow" and Futures' "Hedging Pricing"
① ETF: Net outflow of 643 million in October
On October 30, the US spot Bitcoin ETF had a single-day net outflow of 233.7 million, with FBTC experiencing a cumulative inflow of 440.8 million. On a monthly scale, the ETF net outflow for October was approximately $515 million, marking the fifth negative monthly result since 2026.
The only marginal bright spot was on October 31, when panic selling was concentrated, the ETF had a single-day net inflow of $135 million, being "almost the only buyer" at that time. However, a single day's inflow was far from enough to offset the month's outflow.
② Futures Backwardation: An Overlooked "Hedging Signal"
Bitcoin futures contracts expiring on November 2 and 3 were priced below the spot market, creating a backwardation. This situation is uncommon in Bitcoin and usually occurs when more traders seek short-term hedging rather than expecting leveraged long positions. Combined with Deribit's overall flat futures curve and the absence of extra premiums on leveraged positions, the market currently lacks the intrinsic momentum to push prices upward through leveraged funds. $BTC $ETH $SOL #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ #Apple's new CEO receives the first report card for iPhone 18 1. Will AAPL beat expectations this quarter (after market close on November 2)?
Conclusion: There is a 60%–70% chance that revenue/EPS will slightly beat expectations, but the "beat magnitude" is limited; the real risk lies in the "next quarter guidance" and gross margin.
Consensus: Revenue about $113.4 billion, EPS about $1.99–2.00
Goldman Sachs estimate: Revenue $113.598 billion, EPS $2.01 (slightly above consensus)
Drivers: iPhone 18 Pro price increase + premiumization (revenue up about 15% YoY), services business up about 10% YoY
Headwinds: DRAM/NAND price increases, staggered release causing shipments down about 4% YoY, currency headwinds
Objective judgment (confidence ≈90%):
This quarter's financials: slight beat (EPS higher by $0.01–0.03)
Post-earnings stock price: not necessarily up—the market will focus on December quarter guidance and gross margin; if guidance is conservative, it’s easy to have "good results but valuation cut"
Current stock price around 344, PE 39x, already priced in the "AI + safe-haven asset" narrative, upside space eaten by high valuation
Trading perspective: Don’t treat "beat expectations" as an unconditional buy signal. Short term is more like a "expectation realization + guidance setting direction" game; high leverage directional bets have low cost-effectiveness.
Tag #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 $BTC 011.2 Bitcoin live trading chat｜Stuck at the 78,000 level, bulls and bears are about to choose a direction
Just finished checking the market, today BTC has been stuck around $78,300 for almost a whole day, with a slight 0.8% rise in 24 hours, and the fluctuation range is less than $1,000. The support at 77,500 and resistance at 78,450 are very close, giving a strong sense of an extreme low-volume battle before the storm.
Here are a few of today's most direct impressions:
1. Volume suddenly exploded: Today's trading volume surged to 4.6 times the 30-day average. In a usually sluggish market, such a large volume spike indicates that whether it breaks above 80,000 or drops below 77,000, the upcoming trend will be very decisive and straightforward, without dragging on.
2. Sentiment is quietly warming up: The Fear and Greed Index was below 30 yesterday and climbed to 34 today. Although still in the "fear zone," it’s much more relaxed than the previous extreme pessimism. The panic selling triggered by the Binance hack has basically been absorbed.
3. The macro environment is a bit conflicted: On one hand, PCE data is cooling down, and the Fed’s rate hike probability has been cut in half, providing bottom support for risk assets; on the other hand, the Nasdaq crashed 2.86% yesterday, and the 10-year US Treasury yield remains high at 4.98%. The high interest rate environment hasn’t eased, so Bitcoin has no incremental funds to push it up in one go.$LINK continues to underperform around $11.3, while Chainlink just announced a partnership with HKGX to connect smart contracts to physical gold trading, advancing 24/7 pricing, institutional management, and compliance integration. Infrastructure is accelerating deployment, but the token price remains stagnant — this mismatch of "narrative moving forward, funds lagging behind" is the most important signal to watch right now. First, let's look at the market anchors. $BTC is around $77,850, fluctuating narrowly within 24 hours, having previously lost and then reclaimed the $78,000 level; whether it can hold above this is the short-term focus. $ETH is about $2,260, showing relatively steady performance with support above $2,250, but lacking momentum for an upward breakout. Both are in a state of "holding ground but unable to advance," indicating the market is not short on positions but lacks confirmation of new capital inflows. The real standout is $LINK. Among the three, it is under the most pressure; if it breaks below $11.0 effectively, short-term pressure will intensify. The key here is not whether the partnership news is good or bad, but a colder issue: institutional-grade infrastructure for RWA and oracle sectors is already ahead, yet funds have not caught up. Rapid infrastructure rollout does not mean holders will immediately see capital return — this is the timing gap the market is most likely to underestimate currently. My judgment is: the pricing method for this RWA narrative is shifting from "listening to stories" to "watching cash flow." Partnership announcements can only sustain sentiment; what truly confirms the bullish logic is on-chain usage and actual settlement demand after institutional onboarding.The main decline over the past two days: concentrated earnings reports disproving the high return expectations of AI + crowded AI tech stocks seeing profit-taking, with U.S. Treasury yields, month-end liquidity, and cooling AI financing in the primary market acting as catalysts, leading the Nasdaq / semiconductors to lead the decline
AI bubble faces a risk event!
$OPENAI A nominal position of $333,100—I wouldn't directly read that as "big money bearish." Within the framework of macro and liquidity, trading size should be viewed separately from actual capital used; otherwise, it's easy to mistake a tactical position for an overall shift in risk appetite.
This monitoring shows that Core Trader 75 opened a new $ETH short with 25x leverage. What concerns me more is: roughly calculating initial margin by dividing nominal value by leverage, it's about $13,300, and the actual capital used depends on margin mode and other conditions. The nominal exposure is significant, but it doesn't tell me how much actual capital this wallet has staked.
My speculation is, if macro liquidity expectations tighten and more funds continuously reduce risk exposure, then this short position might become a piece of the puzzle indicating cooling risk appetite; if only this wallet is short, then short-term bets or even hedging other assets are still plausible explanations. A single direction does not equal a complete stance.
So I tend to treat it as an observation clue rather than evidence of macro bearishness. I am also attracted by big headlines, but what I want to see next is whether short exposure continues to increase and whether overall capital behavior aligns, rather than completing a macro narrative based on one wallet.#MarketOverview Analyzing the general direction of mainstream assets this week for everyone, for reference only.
Last week, $ETH Ethereum spot ETF saw a net outflow as high as $432 million. Among them, BlackRock institutions remain the main force. In the previous two weeks, Fidelity and Grayscale were still buying, but on the 30th, they switched from buying to selling, indicating that institutions are also withdrawing. The market dropped sharply that day, with Thursday and Friday seeing heavy declines, so a weekend recovery and rise in the market is understandable.
Bearish outlook continues this week?
The market is weak, and institutions and whales are mostly on the sidelines. Part of this is due to the upcoming US election, and part is because the recent Binance hack incident continues to unfold. Although Binance promptly resolved the withdrawal issues, this event has made many whales realize that exchanges also carry risks. Therefore, without short-term positive news, the market will remain weak.
Thus, for swing trading, follow the market trend. You can wait for a pullback to 2280-2260 to lightly go long, with a target to double your position before exiting.
Intraday focus is on strong support around Ethereum 2250. If it continues to break down, be ready to change your strategy promptly.

#美股与金银同步大跌，避险资金流向分化
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ BTC squeezed shorts in the early session, watching volume at 78,500 first (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
At Monday's open, BTC gave the bears a "morning raid" 💥. At 7 AM Beijing time, the hourly chart rose from 77,779 to 78,387; around 9 AM it touched 78,587, now fluctuating near 78,400. OKEx spot is up 0.61% in 24 hours, not a big move, but sentiment has warmed a bit (￣▽￣)~*
The liquidation data paints a vivid picture: Liqwall reports about $22.8 million in BTC liquidations in the past 24 hours, with shorts accounting for $17 million, or 75%; the most concentrated period was from 7 to 8 AM, with $5.9 million liquidated. Bears got squeezed right after clocking in (｡•́︿•̀｡)
ETH followed up to 2,276; OKEx ETH funding rate remains slightly negative at +0.00136%, BTC holds at +0.00525%. LiqFlow shows around $45.8 million in short liquidations near 79,600 on Hyperliquid, acting like a "liquidation magnet" 🧲
My view: Volume was low and grinding over the weekend for two days. Bears got squeezed a bit at the weekly open, but volume wasn’t large. Whether 78,500 can hold depends on volume after the US stock market opens tonight. If volume expands and holds, the upper liquidation zone may continue to absorb price; if volume lags, a spike and pullback wouldn’t be surprising (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

$BTC $ETH #OpenAI financing target lowered, Anthropic credit risk under scrutiny
OpenAI cut its financing target by 10 billion, from 30 billion down to 20 billion, and its valuation shrank from 1.4 trillion to 1.25 trillion. Simply put, investors are no longer rushing in; an industry insider said, "There is absolutely no one scrambling to subscribe." Some prefer to wait for Anthropic's IPO pricing before deciding, as both companies are competing for the same pool of money.
Anthropic is also not out of the woods. Blackstone disclosed to investors that Anthropic is very unlikely to receive an investment-grade rating after going public, with a higher chance of a BB "junk" rating. The critical issue is that without an investment-grade rating, major investors like insurance and pension funds won't come in, and borrowing costs will rise. Over the next decade or so, it plans to invest over 800 billion in computing power; if financing becomes more expensive, the numbers just won't add up.
So while both companies seem lively, the money bags underneath are tightening. The story of AI burning through cash has investors starting to seriously do the math.On October 29, Binance lost $6.3 billion in assets. A few days later, a publicly traded US company gave its response: no fuss, just directly moved the coins.
The board of Next Technology Holding approved the sale or pledge of its 5,833 $BTC holdings. Note the wording—not "sell," but "sell or pledge." The CEO is authorized to dispose of them in batches through exchanges, OTC, or collateral financing. These three routes lead to three outcomes: selling means exiting the market, OTC means finding a buyer without crashing the price, and pledging means exchanging coins for cash while the coins remain on someone else's account.
Why act now? The company states it plainly: to reduce risk and increase liquidity. To translate, "I no longer consider it safe to keep 5,833 coins on exchanges." The real damage from the $6.3 billion theft is not the money itself, but what it proved—that even the largest exchanges are not safes.
How this batch moves is more important than whether it sells or not. If all 5,833 coins flood the spot market, $BTC will take a short-term hit; if moved via OTC or pledge, the market impact is almost unnoticeable, but $ETH, $BNB, and other exchange sentiment-driven assets will react first. Disposing in batches means the pressure is continuous, not one-time.
What’s worth considering: when a publicly traded company writes "custody risk" into a board resolution, it’s no longer just an insider’s worry but a financial decision to explain to shareholders. Once this step is taken, more will follow.Calculate it: the total DEX trading volume across the network in the past 24 hours was about $1.072 billion less than the previous day. According to DefiLlama data, the current volume is approximately $5.386 billion, a 16.6% decrease day-over-day; the key point in this news is not the absolute scale, which is still quite large, but that trading demand is cooling down.
① A 16.6% day-over-day decline means the trading volume is 83.4% of the previous day. Looking at this change alone, I would hold back on the judgment that "on-chain activity is strengthening," but a decrease in transactions does not equal net capital outflow, so these should not be conflated.
② Compared to a week ago, the trading volume is also down by 10.2%. Both comparison metrics are trending downward, indicating that current activity is indeed relatively weak, but this data alone is insufficient to confirm a sustained downward trend.
③ Uniswap V4, Kalshi, and Uniswap V3 account for approximately $750 million, $708 million, and $508 million respectively, totaling about 36.5% of the entire network. Leading platforms hold a significant share; I am more interested in the increases or decreases on each platform rather than directly applying the overall network contraction to every platform.
My judgment is: this signals a cooling sentiment in on-chain trading, not a definitive conclusion that the entire sector is deteriorating. If the day-over-day and week-over-week declines continue to weaken in sync, then I would be more concerned about sustained demand contraction. When you usually assess on-chain activity heat or coldness, do you focus more on daily trading volume, weekly changes, or the share of leading platforms? Please also share your reasoning.🚨Leading coins resist decline, altcoins bleed! ETFs plunge by 1 billion, how much longer can this "leverage game" hold?
To truly judge market recovery, you can't just look at the leaders surging; you must also observe the degree of fragmentation among top assets. On November 2, the market showed a split pattern of "leaders resisting decline, altcoins bleeding."
$BTC ($78,160, +0.28%): Holding above 80,000, but spot ETFs saw a net outflow of 643 million, while derivatives open interest expanded to 28 billion. The rebound relies entirely on leverage support, with spot buying severely absent.
$ETH ($2,283, +0.79%): Appears to outperform BTC, but the reality is brutal! Spot ETFs have had 23 consecutive days of outflows breaking records, with over 1 billion lost in October. Price strength is extremely disconnected from massive capital flight.
$SOL ($94.33, -0.43%): The only one closing down against the trend. Spot ETFs have had 5 consecutive days of inflows totaling 71.4 million, but the 100 level remains unbroken, showing clear weakness.
Comparing these shows capital is extremely "picky"—money hasn't disappeared, it just prioritizes clustering around BTC, sidelining ETH and altcoins. SOL's decline against the trend confirms that the most elastic sectors are the first to be drained. The key to recovery isn't how much the leaders rise, but whether capital can spill over. Whether funds return before the November 6 employment data is the core test of the market's quality!

$SOPH is the opposite: 24-hour perpetual contract volume is 18.07 million USD, spot only 1.63 million; OKX alone accounts for 86% of its global volume; perpetual open interest is only 1.25 million USD; funding rates have been negative for 10 consecutive periods, currently -0.035%/4h, with the lowest at -0.236% — the price is rising, but shorts are paying. It’s down -53.3% over 30 days, with a market cap of only 9.02 million USD, 98.4% below its all-time high. Without spot buyers supporting the price, the rise is mostly a short squeeze.
During the same period, crypto perpetuals saw 79 up and 118 down, with a median of -0.82%, BTC +0.67%. Today's excitement is mostly not in the coins themselves.$ETH $BTC $SOL The market showed a contrast today: last Friday, US tech stocks plunged, with Nasdaq down 2.86% and S&P 500 down 1.82%, but the crypto market steadied on Monday. CoinDesk Asia morning report shows $BTC around $78,600, rising for the third consecutive day; Finnhub's latest data shows $BTC around $78,510, up about 0.86% in 24 hours, $ETH about $2,303, up about 1.55%, $SOL about $95.16, down about 0.47%. The leader was not the large-cap coins but $ZEC, up about 3% to nearly $1,280; $BNB around $713, TRX each up about 1%, $SOL almost unchanged.
Why is this happening? First, the worst phase of the Binance incident has temporarily passed; after withdrawals resumed, net outflow was about $3.64 billion, about 2.1% of its disclosed asset management scale, without evolving into a sustained run; second, last Friday's drop was more due to US stock AI spending and earnings sentiment, the crypto market had already fallen earlier, and over the weekend between $77,000 and $78,000 there was no sustained panic selling; third, funds first flowed back to the most liquid assets, rotation has not yet spread. The logic is a "stop the bleeding first, then differentiate" repair, not a trend reversal. $BTC holding above $77,000 indicates short-term selling pressure was absorbed; but $ETH just returned above $2,300, $SOL still hovering near $95, indicating funds are still selective, not fully entering the market Starting November, BTC hovered around 78,000, with a cumulative pullback of about 8.7% over the past 30 days. This week, political, macroeconomic, and technological pressures all came at once, and none of these events were mere formalities. Monday 11.2 After market｜Apple Q4 earnings + ISM Manufacturing PMI (Impact: ⭐⭐⭐⭐) The first report card from new CEO Tim Cook's successor. Revenue is expected to be about $113.4 billion, but gross margin is forecasted to slip from 50% to 47.5%, with storage chip costs eroding profits. The options market priced a 3.47% single-day volatility, higher than the historical average. If Apple can't hold up, the Nasdaq will shake, and BTC will wobble along. Tuesday 11.3｜U.S. Midterm Elections (Impact: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are up for election. Republicans hold 53 Senate seats; Democrats need a net gain of 4 seats to flip control. The crypto industry is watching legislative windows on stablecoins, trading platforms, and prediction markets, but historical data also speaks: BTC has bottomed after the last three midterms. Some districts may take days to count votes, and the uncertainty itself is a source of volatility. Tuesday 11.3 After market｜AMD Q3 earnings (Impact: ⭐⭐⭐⭐) Last Friday, AMD plunged nearly 11% due to Intel's weak PC outlook, facing pressure going into this report. Revenue guidance is about $13 billion; MI450/Helios shipments only just started at the end of Q3, with real AI accelerator growth expected in Q4 and 2027. If this earnings report can't even "paint a rosy picture," the AI narrative will need to be repriced. TuesdayThe Binance bank run has ended, and the data is out.
A net outflow of $3.64 billion, accounting for 2.10% of custodial assets.
He Yi said three days ago that the "net loss was over 2%," which no one believed at the time. Now it has been precisely verified.
But the real story lies in another set of numbers:
In the past 24 hours, Binance's BTC balance decreased by 19,289 coins. In the same period, Coinbase increased by 984 coins, Kraken increased by 1,422 coins.
Outflow of 19,289, top exchanges only absorbed 2,406.
Where did the remaining 17,000 BTC, about $1.3 billion, go?
To self-custody.
Users are not switching exchanges; they are leaving exchanges.
Binance's funds have been replenished, but the habit of "keeping coins on exchanges" has been permanently changed for some people.
When the next bull market comes, will these coins return?#Circle财报在即，稳定币增长能否兑现收益？
Circle will release its earnings before the market opens on November 4 Eastern Time. The market expects revenue of about $786 million and earnings per share around $0.37. But the real focus isn't these numbers; it's the large stablecoin market—whether it's actually profitable.
Circle mainly relies on the interest from reserves backing USDC. In Q2, USDC circulation reached 73.3 billion, up 19% year-over-year, and on-chain transaction volume exploded by 151%, yet revenue only increased by 7%. The market is expanding fast, but the money isn't keeping pace. Profit-wise, Q1 already showed the problem of "revenue growth without profit growth," with operating expenses soaring 76%.
An even bigger risk is that interest rates have peaked. Circle earns from the interest spread, so if rates drop, reserve yields will decline, shrinking this income.
Therefore, the core of this earnings report boils down to one thing: whether distribution costs can be controlled and profit margins sustained. A large market doesn't equal profitability; when it comes to realizing returns, Circle hasn't fully proven itself yet. #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单
Positive news
Better-than-expected momentum: EPS has exceeded expectations for 8 consecutive quarters, last quarter revenue +16%, iPhone +22%.
Price increase offsets costs: iPhone raised prices during the quarter, partially offsetting memory costs.
Stable services: high-margin business continues double-digit growth
Risks
Memory price increase pressures gross margin: excluding one-time gains like tariff refunds, actual gross margin may decline.
Inventory doubled to 11.1 billion: could be for new product stockpiling or a demand signal.
High valuation: market cap near 5 trillion, up 27.5% this year, despite last quarter's better-than-expected results, shares still fell 7.4%, indicating low market tolerance.
iPad weakness: down 5.9% last quarter
The real highlight: December quarter guidance
This quarter only includes 9 days of iPhone 18 Pro series sales; foldable iPhone Duo ($1999, on sale October 23) will be counted next quarter.
Standard and Air models delayed to March quarter, causing year-over-year distortion; BofA warns market models may be inaccurate.
Goldman Sachs expects next quarter revenue of 151.2 billion, slightly below consensus of 152.2 billion.
This is new CEO John Ternus's first outlook, and the tone is very importantHyperliquid's USDC reserve earnings for the second month are about to be allocated. A small AQAv2 test transfer has been completed on-chain, and the funds will flow into the Aid Fund (AF), following the same operational rhythm as last month. This time, the credited earnings exceed 15 million USD. Based on the current price, this amount can repurchase approximately 180,000 HYPE tokens. Reviewing October, after the initial reserve earnings of about 14.58 million USD were transferred into AF, the fund continuously conducted HYPE repurchases within 48 hours, during which the HYPE price rose by about 4%. AF ($AF) is the fund entity receiving these funds, and all reserve earnings will be used by this fund to execute token repurchase operations, directly bringing secondary market buying pressure to HYPE ($HYPE). The ongoing repurchase mechanism is the core positive factor supporting HYPE's market trend, but whether the price can continue to rise depends on whether the scale of future reserve earnings can keep increasing and the market's pricing rhythm for the repurchase benefits. If future earnings remain stable, repurchase buying will continue to support the token price; if earnings fall short of expectations, the positive effect will quickly weaken.#美伊谈判推进，霍尔木兹重开方案受关注
The US-Iran negotiations are moving forward, but don't get too excited yet. Iran has proposed a "two-day plan": on the first day, the US handles the business—unfreezing funds, lifting the maritime blockade, granting exemptions for oil exports, and stopping new sanctions; on the second day, the Strait of Hormuz reopens, ships resume normal passage, and only then do they sit down to talk.
It sounds straightforward, but the deadlock remains unresolved. The US insists on clarifying the nuclear issue before easing restrictions, while Iran demands easing first before discussing nuclear matters—the order is completely reversed. Iran uses the strait as a bargaining chip, but the US believes international waterways should remain open by default and shouldn't be traded.
The real deadline is after the election. Netanyahu urges Trump to strike Iran after the election, while Trump currently wants to let negotiations proceed. However, the White House's promise of "no action before the election" expires on November 3. The Iranian military has also issued harsh warnings, saying any attack will be met with devastating retaliation.
So, this "two-day plan" is basically Iran passing the ball to the US, betting that after the election Trump will choose between negotiations or bombs. Whether the strait reopens or not doesn't depend on those two days but on how the White House settles the score after the election.#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？
As the vote approaches, this election is not just a political contest; it directly determines the direction of U.S. fiscal policy, regulation, and the debt ceiling over the next two years, and is a major source of current market uncertainty.
First, closely watch control of both the House and Senate. The mainstream expectation leans toward the Democrats taking the House, while the Senate remains highly uncertain. If a divided Congress forms, large-scale fiscal stimulus and tax cut bills will be difficult to pass, deficit expectations will narrow, and pressure on long-term U.S. Treasury bonds will ease; if the Republicans hold both chambers, expectations for fiscal expansion will rise again, increasing risks of inflation and interest rate hikes. If the Democrats take both chambers, regulatory investigations targeting big tech and AI will significantly intensify.
Second, focus on the debt ceiling and government funding battles. If Congress is divided, budget and spending authorizations are likely to face deadlock upon expiration, temporarily increasing market risk aversion and volatility. Additionally, tariffs and energy policies are variables; different election outcomes will have completely different impacts on foreign trade and the crude oil sector.
My view: In the short term, before results are finalized, capital will proactively reduce risk exposure, and volatility is likely to amplify. But the election is only a disturbance and is unlikely to overturn the Federal Reserve’s main trajectory; final pricing will still depend on inflation and employment data. There is no need to bet in advance; it will be much safer to adjust strategies along policy lines once the seat distribution becomes clear.Tomorrow is the midterm election, and I'm betting the Republicans will sweep! Am I crazy?
Voting is tomorrow, November 3rd. The market volume has shrunk like this because it's waiting for this moment! Here's the conclusion upfront: the Republicans will win, and not by a small margin👇
1. I see the Senate at 53 seats for Republicans, Democrats at most holding 47. The reason is simple: the redistricting map is set, they have too many states to defend, not a single one can be lost, losing one means a complete turnaround.
2. For the House, I give around 230 seats, Republicans continue to control. Don't listen to those saying it's "tight," that's for people who don't know the truth.
3. Why am I so confident? Look at the issues. Voters currently have three things on their minds: prices, interest rates, and jobs. On these three, the Republican narrative is more straightforward. The Democrats have been arguing for a long time but haven't presented an economic plan that's memorable.
4. Some argue against me with "the ruling party always loses seats in midterms." I acknowledge this rule, but it only applies when there are no variables. This time the variable is on the opponent's side—they have no cards.
5. How will the market move? If Republicans sweep, tax cuts and deregulation will be priced in early, U.S. stocks will rise first, and crypto will follow. For $BTC, I directly see it going back above 85,000; this is not a dream, it's a difference in expectations. But when the result lands, the good news will be fully priced in—don't buy at the peak.
The real profit isn't from betting on the right direction, but from surviving until the results come out, casting that vote, and the market going where it should. The election is a catalyst.

#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ 🚨The top spot isn't Bitcoin? AI unicorn dominates pre-market contracts, changing the logic of the crypto market!
The top performer isn't Bitcoin, but the AI unicorn Anthropic's Pre-IPO contract (172.81), whose popularity far surpasses BTC and ETH. This extreme divergence reveals the truth: while traditional crypto assets are struggling at the bottom, funds have already shifted early to "expectation pricing."
$ANTHROPICUSDT (-0.27%): Not spot! Just a 20x leveraged pre-market contract. Although rumored to be valued at 2 trillion, it includes no equity dividends. Purely a hot speculative tool, highly prone to two-way liquidation, definitely not a value asset.
$BTCUSDT (-0.06%): Long bullish, short bearish tug-of-war. Institutions are optimistic about the current accumulation phase, but caution is needed below 82,500 USD. Currently consolidating with low volume around 78,000 USD, waiting for a breakout signal.
$ETHUSDT (+0.56%): Slightly up against the trend. But fundamentals are concerning: 1.6 billion USD net outflow from US East ETFs in one month, L2 scaling pressures mainnet Gas fees, staking struggles to cover costs, long-term benefits have not translated into price.
Funds are shifting from holding coins to leveraged expectation bets. Until BTC stabilizes above 82,500 and ETH sees capital inflow, the existing game won't change. Pre-IPO high volatility requires exposure control; when the top spot isn't even on-chain, staying clear-headed is most important.
#闪迪业绩超预期并宣布拆股，股价跌逾13% #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？
The U.S. midterm elections are tomorrow. Focus on three key things:
House of Representatives: The Democrats are very likely to take control, not much suspense here, just watch the results.
Senate: The real battleground. Republicans hold 53 seats to 47 Democrats; Democrats need a net gain of 4 seats to flip control. Key states to watch are Iowa and Kansas—Trump campaigning personally shows even Republicans are nervous; Alaska, Maine, and Michigan are also tightly contested.
Prices: The harshest driver this time isn’t ideology, but the bills people face. Painful rises in oil and food prices, with over 60% feeling the economy is worsening. Deep red Republican states dragged into tough fights, and this is the root cause.
Trump’s approval rating has dropped to just over 30%. If the Senate is lost too, the next two years will basically be hobbling along, with his focus likely shifting to foreign affairs to find relevance.
Results come out tomorrow night; those Senate seats might not be decided until late at night.$NEAR breaking down is not simply following the overall market
This round of breakdown should be seen more as an amplification of NEAR's own weakness, rather than just being dragged down by BTC. Within the same 15 minutes, BTC's price change was only -0.07%, while NEAR lagged behind by 0.94 percentage points; moreover, three consecutive 5-minute candlesticks have all closed below the reference low point, indicating the breach is not a single momentary event.
The specific position is: the latest 5-minute closing price is 4.203 USDT, already below the previous 3-hour reference low of 4.243 USDT. Combined with multiple consecutive closes below this level, this breach shows a sustained characteristic rather than just touching and retracting.
In terms of volume, the spot trading volume in the last 15 minutes reached 4.12 times the average per 15 minutes over the previous 3 hours, indicating that this breakdown process is not quiet and has higher-than-normal activity.
Considering BTC is almost flat (-0.07%) alongside NEAR's own breach with increased volume, the explanation of "just following the market drop" is no longer sufficient. The weakness and activity of the coin within this window are more prominent. One cannot assume NEAR will immediately stop falling just because BTC hasn't moved much. I used to think the hardest part of trading was enduring losses, but the real challenge is that your position size is quietly dictated by the derivatives structure. Have you noticed that the more you watch the charts, the more exhausted you feel, yet the problem isn’t with the candlesticks? When I first entered the space, I thought that as long as you had courage, vision, and persistence, you could hold your ground. Later, I realized that this fatigue often isn’t about mindset—it’s your positions and funding rates making decisions for you. That state described in the original text—making profits but not daring to be happy, losing and being unable to sleep all night—I’m very familiar with it, but it’s more like a signal: your position size may have already exceeded the volatility you can bear. Recently, I’ve been watching derivatives data closely and the feeling is very direct. When BTC and ETH perpetual positions are heavy and funding rates slightly positive, longs tend to cluster, and a slight price poke can trigger a chain of liquidations; when funding rates turn negative, shorts become fragile too. On the surface, it looks like emotional swings, but underneath it’s leverage looking for an exit. Altcoins are even more obvious—shallow depth means a single liquidation can amplify volatility, and risk appetite fluctuates wildly. The bullish path is: after a round of position cleaning, funding rates return to neutral, spot buying holds up, and the rebound is cleaner. The risk is if positions keep piling up and funding rates don’t cool down, any fake breakout could turn into a two-way squeeze—BTC oscillates, ETH follows down, altcoins get hit hard, and the rhythm becomes very uncomfortable. So now I prefer to look at positions and funding rates first, then price. Trading is hard—not necessarily because you’re not trying hard enough, but maybe because the structure isn’t on your side. When you watch the market recently, do you look at candlesticks first or funding rates first? Not investment advice. $BTC $ETH #Derivatives #CapitalA price fluctuation in a single perpetual contract market cannot diagnose the entire Ethereum market. In this message, I am more concerned about the data boundaries: it is an observation window, not a panoramic view.
According to Hyperliquid perpetual contract public quotes, $ETH just fell below $2300, currently at $2294, but the 24-hour change is still +1.22%; during the same period, the trading volume is about $382 million, open interest about $2.251 billion, and the funding rate is 0.0013% per hour, approximately 11% annualized.
"Falling below" and "rising" placed together are not contradictory. The former describes the recent price change, the latter compares to the level 24 hours ago. Reading this, I would first put a brake on emotions: a short-term dip should not be directly written as a full-day weakness.
Open interest is just a stock, not evidence of funds withdrawing. The material does not provide its changes, nor comparisons with other platforms. If multiple markets weaken simultaneously later and open interest changes significantly, then I would raise the importance of this breakdown — this is my observational hypothesis, not something that has already happened.
My judgment is that this is a local risk signal that needs tracking, but not enough to support a conclusion of overall market weakness. Next, I will look at whether prices across markets move synchronously, rather than writing a narrative just to fill in an integer price level.$XPL XPL's market situation is clearly a setup to cause trouble.
16 related wallets hold $23 million in long positions locked, and before the drop, 12 wallets instantly withdrew 2.02 million USDC margin, obviously deliberately triggering a chain liquidation.
In ten minutes, it crashed nearly 20%, forcing the HLP treasury to forcibly absorb 160 million tokens to clear positions, resulting in a direct loss of $556,000.
The main force withdrew funds early, treating the treasury as an exit liquidity.
This kind of market, treating leveraged longs like pigs to slaughter, has no buyers willing to back it.

👇A payroll gain near 60K would mark a rebound from the prior 29K reading, but it would still leave the labor backdrop modest rather than decisive. With unemployment expected to hold at 4.2% and core PCE running at 3.1% year on year, the report may test how much conviction markets can place in a December rate move.
#USOctJobsReportInFocus Putting aside the harshness of terms like “all-in” and “liquidation”
Let's calmly take a look at what the 4-hour chart really looks like.
ETH rolled down from 2538 to 2174, now struggling to climb back to 2288. Seeing these consecutive small bullish candles, many might think “the bottom is here, a reversal is coming.” But let's speak with data.
First, look at the structure. The major downtrend of this drop hasn't changed. Notice the rebound highs, dropping from 2538 to 2317, and now stuck below 2300. The highs are continuously lowering, which is a typical weak recovery.
Second, look at the volume. The volume during this rise from 2174 is nowhere near the volume during the previous sharp drop. Without incremental funds entering, it's all a battle of existing positions. The dense chips waiting to break even between 2300 and 2350—why would the main players spend real money to support you here?
The logic is clear: a rebound on shrinking volume is often a continuation of the downtrend.
Next strategy: don't blindly short.
Wait for it to rebound to the 2300 - 2320 resistance zone; if it stalls there, that's an excellent shorting opportunity.
Looking further down, first test the 2200 level; breaking below that means retesting the previous low at 2174.
Trading focuses on the larger trend and risk-reward ratio. Don't bottom-fish against the trend; follow the trend.

#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Today, the most significant volume for SNDK is not the upward surge but the downward plunge.
At 09:00, there was a volume of 29,935 contracts (the largest of the day) pushing the price to 1193.00, closing at 1171.60, with an upper shadow of 21.4 points. Then at 10:00 and 11:00 combined, 35,004 contracts were needed to lift it back to 1196.20—lifting one point required 1,423 contracts, dropping one point required 1,399 contracts, alternating price levels.
The same amount of money moved the price up by 24 points; that move was a shakeout, not a distribution. However, the three attempts at the same zone at 11:00 (1197.50), 12:00 (1198.90), and 13:00 (1194.90) all failed to close above the line once.
With volume closing above 1198.90 (≥20,000 contracts), pull back to 1197~1198 to go long, stop loss at 1191.00, target 1212.30, odds 2.3.
With volume closing below 1186.30 (≥15,000 contracts), rebound to 1188~1190 to go short, stop loss at 1194.50, target 1174.11, odds 2.7.

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk) $LIT This upward move in LIT is purely a market squeezed out by shorts being forced to liquidate while paying interest.
The contract trading volume directly smashed to 10 times that of the spot market, and during the rally, the spot buying was completely inactive.
It's all due to derivatives leverage hurting each other; once these shorts are fully liquidated, there will immediately be a liquidity vacuum above.
Without spot buyers to support the price, the harder the pull-up, the harder the drop will be later.

👇$AKE dropped another 33% in one day, the waterfall hasn't stopped, I'm waiting for a rebound to short
AKE crashed again today: down 33.26% in 24 hours, falling from 0.0103 to 0.0059, an 80% drop over 7 days. The overall market is still low, but this is a weak one among the weak, an unstoppable waterfall.
On the 15-minute chart, after hitting a low of 0.00585 at noon, it rebounded a bit, but couldn't hold above the 0.0064 moving average and was pushed back down. RSI is only 21, indeed oversold, but oversold doesn't mean bottomed out; this kind of drop can stay near the floor for a long time.
I'm not taking action now. I'll wait until the rebound near 0.0064 fails to break through, then short a small position; if it holds above 0.0066, I'll admit I'm wrong and exit; below, first watch the previous low at 0.0059, if broken then look at 0.0053. I won't chase shorts or catch falling knives at the bottom.
If you hold this coin, are you panicking now?
The above is just my own market feeling and plan, not investment advice. #波动雷达：币种异动观察 $LIT LIT's order book is completely spot market aggressively buying.
At the early stage of the rally, the long-short ratio and open interest dropped sharply, and the funding rate stayed low. Bulls aren't crowded, funding isn't expensive, and there are still many shorts; anyone trying to top out now is just fueling the market.
The underlying play is to match HYPE's valuation. They can pull a $4 billion market cap increase in a single entry into the US market, while LIT's total market cap is only $700 million now, and this month they are submitting a CFTC license application.
This huge disparity in liquidity combined with continuous spot market short squeezes means holding short positions here is like catching a flying knife with your head.

👇The stolen $XRP that had been dormant for a few days suddenly started moving 😂
Around 11:55 to 11:56 Beijing time, an address under surveillance made two consecutive transfers, each of 40 million $XRP, about 50 seconds apart, totaling approximately 80 million $XRP, equivalent to about $100.9 million USD, sent to two unknown wallets.
After the major exchange hot wallet was swept on October 29, this address received about 233.46 million XRP within roughly 4 minutes, then remained inactive. Today’s move transferred about 34% of the originally hoarded amount. XRP’s current price is about 1.25, with almost flat trading over 24 hours, and the contract side’s 24-hour volume is about 326 million USD.
Dirty money doesn’t like to stay still; it has to be split and moved. Whether it will continue to be released in batches later is uncertain. Watching this is nerve-wracking; ordinary people can only watch helplessly. This kind of rhythm clearly isn’t casual play.
Newbies are advised to watch more and trade less; when buying coins, only buy $BTC #非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？
At 8:30 AM on Friday, the October nonfarm payroll data will be released, and traders are waiting for this one number.
September's nonfarm payrolls only increased by 29,000, which was terribly disappointing, so the Federal Reserve indeed held steady in October. But whether there will be a rate hike in December now all depends on Friday. The market expects October's job additions to return to around 65,000, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.2%. If it really doubles, the case for a December rate hike will be strong. Bank of America has already revised its forecast to a rate hike in December, with futures markets pricing in about a 75% chance.
However, it's not set in stone. The lesson from September is clear—what if it disappoints again? Corporate earnings reports haven't looked great recently either, and market sentiment is a bit fragile.
Anyway, don't sleep in on Friday; we'll know the outcome at 8:30 AM.After the withdrawal turmoil, CZ gave the figure of 98% — after withdrawals resumed, 98% of users chose to stay on Binance. At the same time, the co-founder of THORChain gave the opposite answer on another matter: to comply with the FBI's request to shut down the protocol, he refused.
These two events are interesting only when placed together. The 98% figure does not prove loyalty; it marks the boundary between "can't run away" and "don't want to run away." Those who could withdraw during the turmoil have already left; the remaining either still have assets inside or have calculated that moving them is unnecessary. What is being tested is not trust, but liquidity.
The credibility of centralized exchanges is built on "you can withdraw anytime," so a single withdrawal interruption is enough to break it, and recovery depends only on time and payouts. The price movement of $BNB essentially prices this operational credibility. Decentralized protocols sell something else: no one can shut them down. The value of $RUNE does not come from reserves or financial reports but from the "cannot be shut down" aspect that is being verified live.
Therefore, these two lines cannot be analyzed with the same logic. $BNB is a recovery market, watching whether withdrawals continue smoothly; $RUNE is a narrative market, watching whether this hard stance will become a public endorsement of censorship resistance. The former is slow, the latter urgent; if the rhythm is off, both sides get hit.
It is worth considering how many of that 98% stayed voluntarily. Not moving assets after the turmoil could be due to trust, or because of hassle, dislike of re-verification, or laziness. These three reasons look exactly the same in the data.One chain shut down, but the coin surged 47%. What is LSK trading? Lisk Chain officially shut down on October 31, yet LSK surged nearly 48% in 4 hours, reaching a high of $0.318. Behind this counterintuitive move is a complete narrative shift: the project abandoned the public chain, pivoting to enterprise stablecoin fund management, while burning 100 million LSK, reducing total supply from 400 million to 300 million. The DAO exit means continuous selling pressure disappears. The market no longThe most important price level for BTC next should be $76,000. It must be 100% defended. Why is it so important? First, because this area confirms the price breakout into a bull market structure. Second, because it is very close to the main weekly support area and the 50-day moving average, which makes many large traders closely watch this region. Third, because many recent buyers, short-term holders, and strong investors hold positions at this price level. Fourth, because after a black swan event, the market found a reaction and stopped the panic in this area. The 76k area is key to maintaining the bull market. Once it breaks below 76k, the consequences will be unimaginable, with prices falling to 67k-69k, facing greater downside risk. But as long as 76k holds, I remain optimistic. To confirm a break below 76k, at least 2-3 consecutive trading days must close below this level.
