In the futures market, when hearing news about tightening risk control, I usually first look at whose responsibility has changed, rather than immediately assuming the entire market will be hurt. The same rule can be pressure for institutions that rely on fuzzy boundaries to do business, but for those with solid processes, it may not be a bad thing.
According to The Block, The Digital Chamber stated that Sherrod Brown's victory is the "most impactful adverse outcome" for the crypto sector and indicated that the Democrats will push the crypto policy debate towards stronger consumer protection and regulatory accountability. This is the organization's judgment on the election's impact and does not mean specific regulatory measures have already been implemented.
My view is that this news should be read by differentiating business models, not blindly counted as negative for the entire industry. In traditional futures, there is a relatively clear chain of responsibility for client funds, trade execution, and risk handling; crypto businesses operate across platforms and protocols, and after problems arise, figuring out who to hold accountable can sometimes be even harder than the risk itself. According to my speculation, if accountability requirements are truly detailed, then businesses with ambiguous responsibility boundaries will bear greater pressure, while institutions willing to clarify the rules may actually reduce trust costs.
With my old-school mindset, I still believe in "who bears the responsibility." Are there friends who have also transitioned from traditional markets? According to the futures rules you are familiar with, should crypto businesses first improve client asset segregation, or the post-incident accountability chain?$ZEC
About 16 million USD worth of ZEC is still locked in the old privacy pool Sprout of Zcash. Once NU7 activates tomorrow morning, these coins must be moved out using the old wallet first; if delayed, they won't be accessible. The breaking news just came out at 13:56.
The market hasn't reacted at all. Current price is 1317, up 4.9% intraday, grinding between 1302-1329 since 10 o'clock. The recent three 1H candles have a high-low range of just about 10 to 20 dollars. Trading volumes are 51, 40, 45, 39, 41 million USD respectively, each candle more stable than the last, none of the five exploded.
16 million sounds intimidating. OKX perpetual contracts have a nominal daily volume of over 1.7 billion USD, so this amount accounts for less than one percent. Open interest is 138,000 coins, 182 million USD, over two thousand more than this morning, longs haven't fled.
The fee rate is 0.0062%, over 30% lower than the 0.01% benchmark, and perpetuals are still trading at a discount to spot. Those wanting to chase aren't even willing to pay a premium.
I don't think tomorrow morning's upgrade is a market event. The migration hassle is only real for old coin holders; for the market, it's just a piece of breaking news. If there is any movement, it depends on volume on the spot side, which is currently absent.
#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ The longer the sideways consolidation, the more dangerous it becomes? What I see is not accumulation, but hesitation before a waterfall
I’m staring at this segment of the K-line, and it feels very familiar: BTC and ETH have been moving sideways for a long time, seemingly unable to fall further, but in reality, they are exhausting the support. $BTC BTC is currently about 80,552 USDT, down 0.97% in the past 7 days; $ETH ETH is about 2,427 USDT, up 2.87% in the past 7 days, but down 10.43% over 30 days. Both have daily super trends in a downward state, and the moving averages have not formed a consistent bullish alignment.
What makes me more cautious is that BTC contract whales hold 66.02% long positions by open interest, ETH is 59.13% long; the next BTC funding rate is positive. When longs are crowded, once sideways consolidation breaks down, it can easily trigger a chain reaction of deleveraging. ETH’s RSI(6) has reached 72.28, indicating short-term overheating; although BTC has a MACD golden cross, its volume is only 0.24 times the 7-day average volume, so the sustainability of the rebound remains to be verified.
On the news front, the market is still affected by policy and fluctuations related to the US midterm elections, and the direction is not yet clear. My bearish perspective is not a declaration that a "waterfall is inevitable," but rather viewing this sideways consolidation as a risk accumulation: if volume continues to shrink and key support zones are lost, downside volatility may increase; conversely, if volume expands and the super trend reverses, the bearish logic needs to be reconsidered. Order Book Strength Ranking: Liquidity Divergence Among Three Coins
$HUMA: Larger Orders More Expensive, Smaller Orders Still Stable
The order book depth of HUMA is deteriorating. The cost of large sell orders is rising, but the impact on small sell orders is not obvious. Simulations show that the slippage for a 100,000-scale sell order increased from 0.92% to 1.04%, while a 10,000 sell order remains around 0.17%. The fact that the same order size is more expensive indicates weakening liquidity absorption for large orders.
$AKE: Selling Becomes Cheaper, Buying Becomes More Expensive
AKE shows improvement on one side and pressure on the other. The simulated buy/sell slippage for a 100,000-scale order changed from 0.88%/0.97% to 1.00%/0.87%, meaning buying costs increased while selling costs decreased. Operationally, adjustments should not be made based on total volume averages but should be separately adjusted for buy and sell sides.
$CAP: Both Sides Become More Expensive After Increasing Order Size
CAP is more favorable for small orders, with buy/sell slippage around 0.08% at the 10,000 scale; however, when scaled up to 100,000, buy/sell slippage rises to 0.58%/0.54%. Slippage at the ten-thousand level should not be linearly extrapolated to the hundred-thousand level. The corresponding tier should be read according to the actual planned order size to avoid underestimating impact costs.83% potential dilution, I prefer to see it as a valuation stress test for the AI narrative rather than a fee notification from the crypto circle.
Hayes estimates that Anthropic's IPO initial investors could face up to 83% dilution by June 2027; he also extrapolates that AI giants' stock price pressure might affect the crypto market's USD liquidity through credit contraction and slower bank balance sheet expansion. What concerns me most is the first figure: it lays out the gap between "good company prospects" and "investors getting good returns."
The dilution ratio cannot be directly equated to a stock price drop. If new financing can create enough business value, then having more shares does not necessarily mean a decline in per-share value. This is my judgment, but conversely, if growth cannot keep up with the new shares, the grand industry story will need to be recalculated. Reading this, I actually want to separate confidence in AI from tolerance for valuation first.
Regarding the crypto market, I speculate that the logic of valuation told by AI might face pressure earlier, rather than the USD supply for all assets. If the public market starts strictly accounting for AI companies' input-output, then the related narrative might lose its loose pricing reference. What I want to look at next is how much business growth the financing has brought, not how lively the financing news is.You think an ECG showing RSI 68 is a safe signal? Wrong. In cardiac surgery, we never say the heart is fine based on a single lead alone—short-term RSI 68 looks mild, but the price is already standing at 118% above the lower Bollinger Band, just -0.3% away from the upper band. This is a critical state where the valve hasn't fully prolapsed yet, but the chordae tendineae have already been stretched. A 1.96% amplitude within 24 hours seems stable, but combined with the 118% expansion of the short-term Bollinger Band, this is compensatory tachycardia before pericardial tamponade. It looks stable, but the blood pressure is quietly being crushed.
I've seen too many people die waiting "a little longer." The long-term RSI 45.8 is within the normal range, and the long-term trend isn't broken, just like a patient with decent baseline cardiac function. But the short-term RSI has already surged to 68, and the Bollinger Band position tells you the price is squeezing the upper band. This is not the time to enter; this is the last three seconds of verification before the anesthesia finishes and the sternum saw starts. The real lesion isn't how fast the heartbeat is, but the moment the blood pressure curve has flattened.
Combining these vital signs, my judgment is: now is not a buying point, but the time for precise debridement. Bears need to enter at a high position, not chase after already dilated vessels to force through. My operation plan is as follows:
📉 Short:
Entry: $0.38 (current price +3.2%)
Take Profit 1: $0.34 (-5.4%)
Take Profit 2: $0.35 (-3.0%)
Stop Loss: $0.42 (+15.2%)
Take Profit 2 is closer to entry and more conservative; my first target is to remove the main lesion. The stop loss at $0.42 is equivalent to leaving this patient a 15.2% margin for angiographic re-examination. If breached, it means my diagnosis was wrong, and the chest must be closed immediately and restarted.
The core of this trade is not gambling, but waiting for the price to reach a high level for a definitive suture. Chasing shorts now is like cutting before the cardioplegia is fully infused, with bleeding risks far outweighing the benefits.💻 When I see this kind of order, my first reaction is to look for bugs in risk control, not to guess how much it will rise. Even if the direction judgment is correct, it doesn't mean the execution logic can be launched.
This time the input is wallet Core Trader 19 going long on HYPE with 10x leverage, nominal position about $71,700, reference price $83.4585. This is opening a position; the result hasn't come out yet.
My judgment: this order expresses a bullish intention, but it's not enough to prove the timing of entry is reasonable. Nominal amount is not equal to margin; you can't just look at a "big order" and assume strong confidence; roughly calculated at 10x, if the price moves 1% against, the initial margin loss is about 10%, not counting fees, so the tolerance is not wide. The material also doesn't provide stop loss or account equity, so the risk budget is still blank.
If it were me, I would first clarify when the bullish logic fails, then decide the position size, rather than waiting for losses to report errors for me. Later, I want to observe his position reduction actions more, not use the opening amount as the basis for trading.Yesterday, the spot BTC ETF finally saw an inflow of about $74.61 million — is the market already shouting "the main force is back"?
The market thinks: a single day turning positive = institutions returning, 80,000 can be considered a bottom.
In reality: over the past five days, there has still been a cumulative outflow of about $1.07 billion, the largest hemorrhage since July; on that day, Fidelity's FBTC had an inflow of about $237 million, but BlackRock's IBIT was still seeing an outflow of about $201 million — not a synchronized entry, but a tug of war. The fear index also slid back from about 50 in the morning session to about 42, with the price still around 80,400, sentiment has already weakened somewhat.
My view: a single drop of inflow ≠ a flood. Before the Nonfarm Payrolls (Beijing time tomorrow 21:30), don't write the "one day turning positive" as a bull market script. Only continuous inflows for ≥2-3 days and holding steady around 82,000 can be considered a capital validation; if the data is strong enough to push up rate hike expectations and the price falls below about 79,000, this wave looks more like a bear squeeze fake-out.
Three takeaways:
1) Look at the five-day cumulative, not the single-day headline
2) When IBIT is still outflowing, don't shout institutional consensus
3) Key levels: about 82,000 for validation / about 79,000 for deleveraging
Do you think the $74.61 million is the start of a return flow, or a smokescreen before the Nonfarm?
$BTC $ETH
#NonfarmComingUp, can employment data strengthen December rate hike expectations? Upbit has launched three trading pairs for CARDS at once: KRW, BTC, and USDT. This message is brief, but it hides three different types of money.
First, look at the KRW pair. In Korean exchanges, the KRW pair is the only direct gateway for local funds to enter. Money doesn't need to be converted to USDT first, nor routed through other platforms; it comes directly from bank accounts. Whoever gets the KRW pair is essentially opening the door directly to the deposits of Korean retail investors.
Next, look at the $BTC pair. This line serves old users who only hold Bitcoin and are unwilling to sell it for fiat before buying again. Trading directly with crypto as the base reduces costs. The $USDT pair is prepared for cross-exchange traders and overseas funds, with stablecoins used for settlement both in and out.
The significance of launching all three pairs simultaneously is not in the quantity but in the exchange's willingness to provide multiple entry points for the same asset. Liquidity is not funneled through a single channel but through three channels converging into one pool.
In terms of judgment, the short-term focus should not be on price but on the trading volume of the KRW pair. If the KRW pair sees volume growth, it indicates that local retail investors are truly entering; if only the USDT pair is active, it means outsiders are arbitraging, and the heat cannot be sustained.
One point worth considering: the KRW pair exists only on Upbit and nowhere else. Once this structure creates a price difference, whose money is arbitraged? Ultimately, whether it is local buyers or outsiders depends on whose hands are faster.*🔥 $BTC pulled from 75,600 to 81,100, is the whole network shouting a bull comeback? Don't be fooled!*
24h up over 4%, market cap back to 2.7 trillion, headlines all say "rebound" "warming up"
But the capital flow tells a different story:
*1. Shorts buried 533 million*
24h total liquidations 936 million, shorts account for 533 million, $BTC single-asset shorts liquidated 370 million
*2. Positions are decreasing, not increasing*
Price up 4%, open interest contracts actually down 4.36% to 347.7 billion
Volume surged 44%, but positions shrank
This is not building positions, this is clearing the field! Old shorts closing out and leaving, new longs haven't come at all!
*3. ETFs are running, outflow of 1.157 billion in three days*
October 30 outflow 643 million, November 2 outflow 399 million, November 3 outflow 115.6 million
BlackRock iShares alone withdrew 734 million, accounting for 63.4%
The three days of price rise are exactly the three days institutions fled the hardest!
In short, Bitfinex says: this rebound is leverage-driven, not spot buying
Short covering = one-time buying, once burned out, it's gone
ETFs are still pulling out funds, no one is adding
*Key levels:*
Resistance above at 81,300, below 75,839 is the short-term holder cost line
Break below 75,839, next stop 70,000-75,000
Current price stuck in the middle, neither bulls nor bears have room for error!
If you chase longs at 81,000, you're not buying the trend, you're buying the remnants of short stop losses In the morning session, it was said that only a volume break below 285.83 would be bearish; at 13:00 it broke but closed at 286.15 — so it doesn't count as confirmed.
At 09:00, a large sell of 91 contracts pushed it down to 285.73; from 10:00 to 12:00, three sells of 81 contracts each lifted it back to 288.33. At 13:00, a huge sell of 110 contracts (the largest in Asia) hit 285.43, piercing below 285.83 by 0.4 but then recovering to close at 286.15: breaking but failing to hold means it’s not a true break. The volume for this move hasn't picked up yet.
The MA20 at 288.665 is pressing down about 2.5 points overhead; the 24h low of 278.33 was caused by a large sell of 258 contracts at 20:00 last night, with total daily volume at 1342.8 U.
Current price 286.14 / -2.00%
If it breaks 285.43 (≥150 contracts) and rebounds to 286.2~286.8, short at 286.5 with stop loss at 288.2 and target at 283.0; risk-reward ratio 2.1
If it closes above 288.33 (≥150 contracts) and pulls back to 287.6~288.0, go long at 287.8 with stop loss at 286.2 and target at 292.09; risk-reward ratio 2.7
Range 285.4~288.3 is stable; US stock market opens at 22:30.
$SNOW
(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk) Conclusion first: Last night Texas changed, and what the crypto circle should watch is not $BTC, but the miners' AI transformation accounts. The same batch of miners, $RIOT rose against the trend by 12.8%, Hut 8 down 22%, IREN down 11%.
Reason: The newly elected governor of Texas is a public critic of "data center madness," and the market immediately traded on the expectation that "data center approvals may tighten." Bernstein promptly lowered the target prices of 7 miners, Cipher down 17%, CleanSpark down 11%.
$RIOT is the exception: Q3 revenue exceeded expectations, and it signed a 15-year, 910-megawatt, nearly $28 billion AI lease in Corsicana, Texas, with the tenant being Anthropic. After 9 PM last night, OKX had a 1H trade of $997,000, with the price surging from 13.74 to a high of 17.26.
But to pour cold water: $RIOT perpetual 24-hour trading volume is only $2.58 million, open interest is only $86,000, funding rate has been 0 for 8 consecutive periods, indicating a thin market with no leveraged funds, easy to follow but the order book may only have tens of thousands of dollars when exiting. Another signal: RIOT sold 79% of its Bitcoin last quarter.
Are miners turning around with AI leases, or are they taking on the next bubble? $RIOT The most counterintuitive point: what’s being bet on now is not a rate cut, but a rate hike — the probability of a 25 basis point hike in December is 81.5%, no chance of a cut.
Why? Employment hasn’t collapsed (October ADP 86,000 beats expectations, November 6 nonfarm forecast 65,000), inflation is still hot (September CPI 3.7%, core PCE 3.1%), the Fed just hiked once in September, and officials are still calling for more hikes.
The CPI data on November 10 will cover October’s high oil prices, which likely won’t cool down.
The key timing gap: oil prices plunged 8% in early November, but this won’t show up until the December 10 CPI, which is after the December 9 meeting, so the committee won’t see it.
My judgment: about a 70% chance of a hike, about 30% chance of no change, and roughly 0% chance of a cut. For easing, look to 2027.
Right now, the dollar and US Treasury yields are easy to rise but hard to fall, so don’t rush to bottom-fish gold and long bonds. #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 $BTC $ETH $ZEC With the new Congress officially taking office in January 2027, investigations into the Trump family's crypto business are expected to begin as early as February 2027. Before that, the market will preemptively trade on this "political negative," and WLFI and Trump-related tokens (such as $TRUMP) will face significant emotional selling pressure.
Long-term uncertainty: Although Trump can still use veto power to oppose Democratic legislation, ongoing congressional hearings, document subpoenas, and media exposure are enough to cause irreversible damage to the credibility of his business empire. #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 Short positions have liquidated more than long positions.
A total of 992 million was liquidated across the entire network, with shorts accounting for 577 million and longs 415 million.
Usually, longs take the hit, but today it’s the opposite.
Last night, a cluster of short positions above 80,000 was wiped out in one wave, with 320 million liquidated in 30 minutes.
But this is not a reversal at all.
Open interest across the market has dropped to a 12-month low; most of the leverage that needed to be cleared has been cleared.
Strangely, the funding rate remains positive, meaning longs are still paying shorts.
The chips have been cleared out, but those remaining have not admitted defeat.
This is the most critical point.
The whales are also splitting.
The “top 100% win rate whales” couldn’t hold on; the remaining longs were liquidated two hours ago, taking a loss of 39.37 million USD.
Another whale holds nearly 400 million USD in positions and was only 30 USD away from liquidation last night; emergency margin of 9.21 million was added at midnight to keep the position alive.
Some are bottom-fishing, spending 133 million USDC over two days to buy nearly 38,000 ETH.
Those cutting losses cut losses, those adding margin add margin, and those taking over take over.
The ETF side is also conflicted: Bitcoin overall saw a net inflow of 74.6 million, but BlackRock’s IBIT saw an outflow of 201 million, supported only by other products.
Ethereum ETFs ended a seven-day outflow streak, barely turning positive.
Retail longs remain crowded, with the long-short ratio still biased toward longs.
Until the funding rate turns negative, the bottom is not considered reached.
#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？
$BTC $ETH Moderna's GAAP figures are easily dragged down by three "non-operating items":
• Amortization of acquired intangible assets: In 2025, this alone created a gap of about $2.13 per share between Non-GAAP and GAAP
• Restructuring and impairment expenses: The company's full-year 2026 guidance explicitly includes restructuring costs
• Intangible asset impairments: In Q2 2026, there was a $666 million impairment recorded, directly pushing that quarter's GAAP to −4.41
In other words, this question isn't about sales, but whether there is another large impairment provision this quarter. If there is another impairment, the −1.28 threshold will suddenly become dangerous.
Normally, it will exceed expectations~ Some say prediction markets are more accurate than polls, and I think there's some basis for that. In surveys, casually picking an answer costs nothing, but when you actually have to put money down to express a judgment, you tend to think twice. For example, whether Bitcoin can meet a certain condition by an agreed time—what's traded is a clear outcome, which is different from just watching price ups and downs to make trades. Odds can be taken as a probability reference given by on-exchange funds, but they don't represent everyone's opinion. Especially when few people participate, I start to wonder: do these odds really reflect general consensus, or is it just a big whale with lots of money drowning out other voices?📊 The big Friday Nonfarm Payrolls are about to be released! Is this good or bad news for BTC this time?
This Friday, the U.S. October Nonfarm Employment Report will be published, which could be one of the most important data points for the financial markets this week.
Currently, the market expects new jobs to increase by about 59,000 to 65,000, the unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.2%, and the average hourly wage monthly increase is expected to be about 0.3%.
Combined with Wednesday's ADP small nonfarm report showing 86,000 new jobs, higher than market expectations, it indicates the job market has not yet shown obvious signs of slowing down.
I have pre-analyzed three possible scenarios:
🟢 If Nonfarm Payrolls are significantly below expectations:
Employment cools down, the market may raise rate cut expectations again, if the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields fall, BTC and ETH may get support.
🔴 If Nonfarm Payrolls are significantly above expectations:
Employment resilience strengthens, rate cut expectations may cool down, if the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields rise, the crypto market may come under pressure.
🟡 If the data basically meets expectations:
The market may not only look at the number of new jobs; the unemployment rate and wage growth may determine the short-term direction.
My preliminary judgment: currently, it’s not simple to bet on either good or bad news. What really needs to be watched are the employment numbers, unemployment rate, wage growth, and the reaction of the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields after the data release.
One more thing to note: too strong employment may suppress rate cut expectations, while too weak employment may trigger recession concerns. So, worse Nonfarm Payrolls do not necessarily mean Bitcoin will definitely rise.
#USNonfarm #BigNonfarm #FederalReserve #BTC #ETH #BitcoinOn Wednesday, the US stock market posted its largest single-day gain of the year. The Dow rose 1,569 points, up 3.03%, closing at 53,356, returning above 53,000 for the first time since September 8; the S&P 500 rose 1.58%, and the Nasdaq $QQQ rose 1.44%.
Tech stocks split into two groups. During the session, Amazon rose 8%, Apple $AAPL nearly 7%, Google $GOOGL over 6%, Microsoft 4%; CoreWeave fell 10%, Nvidia dropped 3%. The reason is in the ballots: on Tuesday, 41 local votes nationwide related to data centers, 40 of which voters opposed; Democratic governors who called for pausing data centers in Texas, Georgia, and Ohio all won. Laura Martin from Needham said that higher regulatory thresholds protect the incumbents, and the mega cloud providers are the incumbents in AI.
After hours, Qualcomm fell 7%. Last quarter, mobile chip revenue dropped 26% to $5.14 billion; rising memory prices forced phone manufacturers to raise prices, suppressing demand. Data center revenue was only $650 million; CEO Amnon said they aim for $5 billion in fiscal 2027 and added, "It's not a demand issue, it's a supply issue."
Policy risks weigh on those still building data centers; companies with cash flow and ready power supply have become safe havens. This divergence is more important than how much the index rises. Nvidia's 3% drop is also a signal: if large companies' expansion is blocked in several states, the shovel sellers will suffer first. Before Qualcomm's $5 billion target is realized, the stock price must first see when mobile chips stop falling. #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ $BTC What's the next step, where is the road ahead?
Last night $BTC stalled near 81199.9, $ETH once surged to 2451, spot gold rose above 4100; meanwhile, SanDisk $SNDK plummeted nearly 8%. Where is the money flowing? In short: political uncertainty is cooling down, funds first go to crypto and gold to "catch a breath"; but data center regulation expectations are heating up, storage chips took the first hit.
The Democrats swept Congress, risk assets collectively loosened; but the new Texas governor advocates pausing new data center construction, and Texas accounts for 27% of the US planned capacity. SanDisk sells data center flash memory, once expectations tighten, the logic is broken. Simply put, it's not that flash memory suddenly lost appeal, but "whether data centers will still be built" has become a new question.
Don't get carried away later, watch these levels:
BTC: resistance 80450—81500, only a stable break above counts as a true breakout; support 79800, break below leads to consolidation.
ETH: dividing line 2390, only above it is there a chance to see 2450—2485; break below looks at 2360—2330.
Gold: resistance 4080—4100, support 4045—4020, chasing highs after a big rise is risky.
Don't be fooled by a single bullish candle, nor scared to death by a single bearish candle.
#索尼财报前瞻：游戏与音乐业务表现如何？ Bitcoin remains steady above 80,000, Ethereum rose 8% in one day, and after the congressional reshuffle, there was actually a sigh of relief. CLARITY is likely to fade, with money flowing into coins that have their own stories; LINK, DASH, and ENA each have their own narratives.
$LINK around 11.57, Asian stock prices on-chain
Up 7.5% in 24 hours. On Tuesday, Chainlink expanded Asia-Pacific stock data streams from Japan and South Korea to include six exchanges in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, covering a market cap of over 40 trillion USD. Resistance at 12.62 above, support at 10.25 below.
$DASH around 49.6, riding the privacy sector wave 🔥
Up 11.2% in 24 hours. ZEC's NU7 is expected to activate early tomorrow morning; funds are rotating early into privacy coins. Kraken has large orders sweeping the thin order book; DASH itself has no new news. In September, it surged to 78.68 before falling back to 54.
$ENA around 0.1835, climbing out of the hacker pit
Up 8.5% in 24 hours. On October 30, hackers who stole 217.5 million ENA from Binance crashed the price to 0.1658 at one point. This time it is rebounding with Ethereum; resistance lies between 0.20 and 0.22.
LINK is the strongest, with real expansion; only a break above 12.62 counts as a true breakout. DASH is the most precarious, relying entirely on ZEC to set the pace; if NU7 activation is fully priced in, the follow-up selling could outpace ZEC. ENA is stuck at 0.20; if the hacker wallets move again, the rebound will have to be given back. #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ Emerging market sovereign and corporate bonds are the risk-return foundation I first consider when looking at this news. Schroders' first tokenized investment strategy has launched on Solana, with the token symbol SISF. I tend to view this as a positive for on-chain asset supply rather than a direct positive for public chain valuation.
My judgment is that this makes the scenario of traditional asset management continuing to try on-chain issuance more credible, but changing the carrier of bonds does not eliminate credit risk. Whether the odds are worthwhile still depends on whether the returns can cover the underlying risks and usage costs; you can't replace judgment with the institution's name.
According to my speculation, if going on-chain can reduce operational friction and improve information transparency, this kind of attempt is worthwhile; if it is just an additional layer of token packaging, costs may increase and expectations may not improve. I want to see the product terms and actual usage next, and will not give extra credit just for the words "on-chain".After the U.S. midterm elections, has AI really entered a bubble? I don't think so.
Many people attribute the sharp drop in $SNDK and the semiconductor sector to the "AI bubble bursting" after the midterms.
Long position on $SNDK opened at 1499.5, current price 997.7, floating loss -334%. On the surface, this looks like a brutal sell-off, but the real logic behind it is that market sentiment is exaggerating the issue, not that AI fundamentals have collapsed.
After the elections, with the Democrats taking key states, the market fears restrictions on data center approvals and obstacles to computing power expansion. Coupled with large funds using this opportunity to shake out positions, $SNDK was smashed from a high level down to triple digits. But this does not mean AI is doomed. The giants are still spending tens of billions of dollars in capital expenditures, the rigid demand for storage chips remains, and the industry’s prosperity is just shifting from "blind frenzy" to a "calculation cycle."
Looking back at my position, the forced liquidation price is at 735.4, which is already very close to the current price of 997.7. This is the real cost of high leverage during intense shakeouts: even if you are confident in the long-term logic that "it may not be a bubble," you can easily be completely liquidated by short-term political games and emotional panic.
The bubble may not have burst; valuations are just returning to rationality. But the most fatal issue now is not the market itself, but this precarious margin. No matter how solid the logic, it can't withstand the scythe of forced liquidation. If you need to reduce leverage, you must do so.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 Breaking down Circle's Q3 financial report, there's not much to say about the revenue growth. The main focus for Ajian is on the following two points:
First, USDC's on-chain transaction volume increased by 49% year-over-year to $13.9 trillion, marking a shift where stablecoins are moving beyond their traditional role as dollar substitutes and beginning to possess broader financial infrastructure attributes. Competition among stablecoins is increasingly leaning towards payment networks, circulation scenarios, and cooperation with financial institutions. This is evidenced multiple times in the report, such as the reiterated plan to acquire Singapore's cross-border B2B payment platform Tazapay, aimed at solving real commercial cash flow issues.
Second, while USDC usage and on-chain transaction volume are growing, Circle's profits do not come entirely from on-chain transactions; it still heavily relies on the yield from reserve assets. Therefore, if interest rates decline in the future, the stablecoin circulation must continue to expand, and payment and service revenues must increase; otherwise, relying solely on reserve yields will make it difficult to maintain high profits.
In summary, everyone's judgment of Circle should be more specific than before. If you can understand the efforts Circle is making in developing payments, custody, enterprise settlement, network infrastructure, and other services, you should be as firmly optimistic about $CRCL as Ajian is. #CircleQ3营收超预期，USDC链上交易量增长49% Calculating roughly based on the minimum holding and reported valuation, each token is worth about $84. I usually separate accounts first: no matter how large the asset valuation is, it cannot be directly recorded as the achievement of new business.
① Reports say Hyperliquid's core contributors hold at least 238 million $HYPE tokens. The holding scale reflects vested interests but does not represent actual demand for the stock product. ② These holdings are valued at about $20 billion. This is not platform revenue, nor funds that can be directly used to support the new market. ③ Co-founder Jeff Yan went to London to meet policymakers and hinted at possibly offering stock tokens in the future, but no launch time or transaction data has been provided. The liquidity he mentioned may exceed that of traditional stock markets, but it remains a vision for now.
My judgment is that this is a directional signal, not yet business validation. Third-party product supply is very important, meaning platform willingness does not equal implementation capability; I will next watch who provides the product and how exactly the trading will be conducted. 💻 I treat this information as a code review: degentrading mentioned that H100 rental prices rose 26% year-over-year, GB200 rose 50%, which is contrary to the "hashrate depreciation" expectation.
My judgment is that this is still insufficient to prove chip demand expansion. Logical bug: supply constraints can also push up rental prices; price increases do not equal shipment growth. If it were me, I would additionally check new data center deliveries to verify whether expansion can be realized.
Help me review: Using data center deliveries as a verification metric, what variables might be missed?#CircleQ3USDCVolumeUp49% USDC's on-chain transaction volume grew 49% to $13.9T in Q3. That's a strong signal of growing stablecoin activity.
But there's another side: Circle's reserve income fell 8% to $658M as reserve yields declined.
The real story isn't just growth in usage; it's how sustainably that activity translates into revenue.Currently, the market's expectation for a December rate hike is close to 80%, which is already quite high.
Tomorrow's non-farm payrolls are expected to increase by 65,000, while the previous figure was only 29,000.
I think there's an interesting point this time: the market's tolerance for employment data might already be very limited.
If the data is strong, it will further reinforce rate hike expectations, and risk assets will continue to be under pressure.
If the data is weak, it might actually cool down this round of rate hike expectations.
But one thing: don't just focus on the number of new jobs added; the unemployment rate and wage growth are equally important.
I actually hope this non-farm payrolls report can give the market a clear direction. With the recent Bitcoin trend jumping up and down every day, there's really no good trading experience.
#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ There is a change that many people have not yet realized: the attack rhythm in the crypto industry has shifted from "periodic events" to "daily events."
CZ said that attacks used to happen about once a week or month, but now there can be several in a single day. The reason is simple—AI has fully automated reconnaissance, phishing, and vulnerability discovery. It used to take weeks of human effort to find a single vulnerability; now machines can scan thousands of targets simultaneously. Attack costs are decreasing, but defense costs are not.
On October 29, Binance suffered an attack amounting to $6.3 billion. The significance of this number is not whether Binance can afford the loss, but that it has exceeded the capacity of a single exchange to bear. The FBI attributed this attack to North Korean hackers, and CZ said the impact involves global finance and national security.
Therefore, he proposed a set of alliance mechanisms: sharing audit findings, exchanging attack experiences, and coordinating asset freezes. These three may sound plain, but each hits a pain point. Audit findings are the most reluctant information to be shared by each party, attack experience is intelligence, and freezing assets requires instant cooperation across platforms and jurisdictions.
The judgment is: the industry itself admits insufficient security investment. Holders of $BTC and $ETH are all on this chain—your asset security does not depend on how strong the exchange you choose is, but on how weak the weakest one is.
Something worth thinking about: if the alliance is truly established, exchanges will have to reveal their bottom cards to each other. The day this happens will indicate the maturity of the industry more than the next market cycle.Bitcoin $BTC is currently priced at about $80,675, up 5.23% in the past 24 hours, while Ethereum $ETH is even stronger, priced at about $2,430, up 7.73%.
Looking at the price range over the past 7 days, Bitcoin is positioned at about 79.2% from low to high, while Ethereum has climbed to a high of 92.8%. The strength of Ethereum's rebound clearly surpasses that of Bitcoin.
The volatility is also greater than in previous days. Bitcoin's 24-hour volatility is 7.09%, more than twice the 7-day average level. This amplification often corresponds to leveraged trading and a heating up of short-term sentiment.
In the market structure, it can also be seen that the open interest in the entire contract market increased by 4.01% within 24 hours, with liquidation amounts surging to $976 million, more than three times that of the previous day. Although the funding rate is positive, it is not yet extreme. The long-short ratio is almost evenly split, indicating that longs and shorts are still competing. The price was pushed up by a rapid short squeeze and covering.
$ZEC #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ Midterm elections, the Democratic Party took control of both chambers of Congress. The president is still Trump, so it’s not "Democratic Party in power," but a divided government: the White House and Congress belong to two different parties. The White House makes the final decisions, while Congress controls the budget and legislation. Since the two sides are not unified, major issues will inevitably be contentious.
Regarding the US stock market:
Historically, during divided governments, the US stock market usually performs well. The reason is that with both sides blocking each other, major new policies are hard to pass, which the market actually views as a better expectation.
This time, the AI data center sector is hit most directly. The results in Texas have already caused a round of stock declines because Texas accounts for about 27% of the planned data center power capacity in the US (according to Wells Fargo data).
Uncertainty has increased regarding energy approvals and electricity price subsidies. Matters requiring congressional cooperation, such as tax cuts continuation and tariffs, will progress more slowly. Antitrust scrutiny on tech giants may become stricter.
Regarding the crypto space:
The stablecoin bill GENIUS has already become law, and issuer regulatory rules will take effect as scheduled from January 18, 2027; this election cannot change that.
What’s stuck is the market structure bill CLARITY: it has passed the House, but the Senate failed to advance the vote on September 15. This Congress ends on January 3. If it misses the deadline, it will have to start over, and the new Congress is likely to make it stricter.
Congress may focus on crypto projects related to the Trump family, such as WLFI, but real action can only happen after the new Congress takes office in January next year.
💰 What about the price?
On election night, BTC once dropped to about 75.7K (CoinDesk), then rebounded in a V-shape to about 78 On November 2 and 3, the US BTC spot ETFs saw net outflows of approximately $398.6 million and $115.6 million respectively, totaling about $514.2 million over the two days. The selling pressure has somewhat eased, but the direction of funds has not yet turned positive.
At the same time, corporate treasuries are not always ready to provide buying support. Their increased BTC holdings depend on their own cash flow, financing conditions, and shareholder acceptance. When the market environment changes, the pace of buying can adjust accordingly.
This makes me increasingly focus on one question: can the different buyers who supported the market in the past continue to provide funds?
ETF demand and corporate treasury demand can complement each other, but neither is obligated to take over if the other weakens. With both sides cautious, prices need to attract other investors or wait for existing buyers to increase their allocations again.
I don’t want to describe the outflows as a full institutional retreat, nor will I prematurely declare funds have returned just because daily outflows have decreased. The new round of data on November 4 still needs to be fully disclosed, and blank entries should not be taken as confirmed zero inflows.
If prices rebound first, I will be happy, but I want to see follow-up funds come in. What has tested patience most recently is that despite many positives, buying momentum has not been stable enough. Whether the rebound can go far ultimately depends on someone willing to keep paying.
#BTC现货ETF资金流出，企业财库增持放缓 $ETH fell from 2300 to 2225 in just half a night, but the strength of the rebound made the short sellers start doubting their positions. This trader placed a 15x leveraged short on $BTC with a very heavy position, verbally claiming "I can hold it," while mentally already calculating the pain of liquidation—when someone starts convincing themselves with "a true bull market can't let me get liquidated," the market is often preparing to deliver the opposite answer. What’s truly worth pondering is not how much he lost, but the causal chain he described: first, a wave of high-leverage long positions triggering a chain of stop losses, then after the news broke, sentiment quickly switched to a bull market narrative. This sequence itself is a signal. Liquidation-driven declines usually come fast and recover fast, but if it’s a fund re-pricing after a narrative shift, the rebound won’t leave shorts any dignity. $ETH’s V-shaped recovery looks more like the latter—it’s not a passive catch-up rally but an active buy-in during the news window. Most people treat this kind of rebound as a "dead cat bounce," reasoning that the macro environment hasn’t turned and incremental funds haven’t entered. But the market structure gives a more direct message: when shorts choose to "hold" rather than "capitulate" during a rebound, it means there’s still a batch of stop-loss orders above that haven’t been liquidated. $BTC’s 15x short may seem like moderate leverage, but a heavy position means a thin margin buffer, so every percentage point the price rises doubles the psychological pressure. These positions won’t close voluntarily; they will be closed passively, and the buy orders from passive closures are exactly the fuel for the rebound. The key divergence is: is this recovery a technical rebound after liquidation, or a narrative-driven rotation🛢️ Oil prices plunge, Microsoft and Amazon rise over 6%, but AI infrastructure stocks collectively dive — what is the market trading?
The Democratic Party promises to push for an end to the Iran conflict, with funds betting on "cooling war and easing inflation." Brent crude closed down 8.67%, WTI down 8.29%, and U.S. Treasury yields fell in tandem.
But this rally shows key divergence: the market welcomes giants spending less, yet worries about companies relying on that spending for survival.
1️⃣ Giants: Slower capital expenditure = reduced cash flow pressure, and the scarcity of existing computing power actually appreciates in value.
2️⃣ Suppliers: The giants' costs are their revenue. When construction slows, orders are delayed, and payments slow down. Last night, Micron and SanDisk fell about 7%, CoreWeave dropped over 9%, and Marvell and Lumentum fell over 7%.
AI trading is shifting from "the faster the expansion, the better" to "who can hold onto cash and who can realize profits."
Next, two things need verification: whether the ceasefire promise can turn into actual progress, and whether data center regulations will truly affect the giants' investment plans. Statements can drive a day's market, but trends depend on orders and cash flow.The Layer 2 sector has been pushed to the extreme, with each project competing on TVL and ecosystem. But behind the impressive on-paper data, holders of L2 tokens often find it difficult to share in the ecosystem's prosperity dividends.
Comparing these three targets:
$ARB: The absolute leader in TVL. However, almost all the on-chain fee revenue flows into the DAO treasury. The token currently serves purely as governance voting power and faces massive linear unlocks for early investors and the team. Buying it is a bet on future governance passing empowerment proposals.
$OP: The core of the superchain. Early on, it designed revenue sharing and buyback plans. But with the independence and diversion of core chains like Base, the actual buyback execution has been greatly reduced, and the foundation refuses to commit to long-term buybacks. Buying it is more about buying into the "superchain" vision.
$METIS: Focuses on decentralized sequencers. Mechanistically innovative, attempting to let ecosystem revenue flow back, but limited by the relatively small overall TVL scale, the real protocol income and token buy pressure are relatively weak.
Conclusion:
ARB is "pure governance, no capture"; OP is "buybacks drastically reduced"; METIS is "mechanism innovation but too small in scale." When evaluating L2, don't just look at TVL; check whether real fees are forcibly converted into token buy pressure. $UMA
UMA runs an optimistic oracle, where data is assumed correct unless someone disputes it. That makes it efficient and flexible for things like prediction markets and insurance. Its weak point is human behavior: disputes and voting can be gamed if incentives aren't well designed, so governance history deserves scrutiny.$AAOI: Fundamentals unchanged, so why did the stock price halve?
AOI (Applied Optoelectronics) this year’s trend shows that the problem lies in valuation and shareholding structure, not in the CPO logic.
Price increase: In the past twelve months, the stock price rose over 700%, reaching a high of $233.67 on May 13. Such a rise has already priced in orders for the next few years.
Fundamentals: Q1 EPS was -$0.12, below expectations. Market cap is already in the tens of billions of dollars, but the company is still losing money. Whether gross margin can improve with shipment volume growth is the core logic of this stock. The market is willing to pay for the story, provided profits materialize, but the numbers have not kept pace.
Financing: The company announced a $600 million secondary offering plan, and the stock price dropped over 16% at the opening that day. This dilutes existing shareholders and indicates that the company itself chose this high point as a cash-out window.
Sentiment: On July 2, AOI fell about 16% in one day, closing at $116.86, less than half the peak. At that time, the market was selling off High Beta, unprofitable tech stocks, and when funds exit, they do not distinguish whose story is more genuine.
· Therefore, the CPO industry trend can remain unchanged, yet the stock price still halves.
· Industry logic determines the company’s ultimate value; valuation, dilution, and liquidity determine the price at which you buy it.
· AOI’s problem is that the price ran ahead of performance, coinciding with financing and style rotation.
#AAOI高速光模块放量，Q3财报能否超预期？ A net inflow of $53 million, and the ETF homeroom teacher in my mind immediately prepared to give out the "Class Progress Award." I quickly stopped them: Teacher, you’re looking at the total score without seeing who submitted the papers 😂 After seven consecutive trading days of net outflows, the US Ethereum spot ETF finally turned positive.
I think this is a positive signal for $ETH at the channel level, but it’s not enough evidence to prove a collective institutional shift. Net inflow is the result after offsetting subscriptions and redemptions, so it doesn’t show the full picture of capital movement. My guess is, if the inflow is concentrated in a few funds while other products are still being redeemed, then this warmth can’t be evenly distributed to everyone. I’d rather see the capital distribution than rush to leverage the sentiment.
For this net inflow, would you rather check the breakdown of subscriptions and redemptions, or the inflow distribution across funds? Pick one, let’s not just look at the total score and hand out awards to the whole class."May affect the overall Democratic Party crypto policy," I am focusing on this "may." 💻 According to code review habits, this is just an input condition, not a runtime result. The Digital Chamber calls Brown's victory the worst outcome for the industry and believes that consumer protection and regulatory accountability may receive more attention.
My judgment is that this message is more like a policy risk warning and is not enough to declare a bearish outlook for the entire industry. The potential bug in the logic is directly linking individual election wins, intra-party policy changes, and specific rule implementation into an inevitable execution process, without expanding on the conditional judgments in between.
If it were me, I would change "worst" to a pending verification item: if subsequent rules do not add business restrictions indiscriminately, then the industry pressure will have a clearer focus. This is my speculation, not a conclusion already given by the material. I will wait for specific policies to enter review before updating my judgment, and I am not in a hurry to let the headline draw conclusions for me.One or two oversold rebounds are nothing special, and it doesn't mean a bull market has arrived. A bull market involves a large influx of new off-exchange funds entering, with risk assets rising simultaneously. The current violent rebound in gold and Bitcoin is merely due to funds related to AI in the US stock market fleeing and buying for hedging. Once the buying dries up, the prices will just fluctuate back and forth. The current macro environment does not yet meet the conditions for a bull market.$SNX
Synthetic assets introduce an ambitious concept: providing blockchain-based exposure to different financial markets without relying entirely on traditional infrastructure. Synthetix has developed around this idea, but the model faces challenges involving liquidity, collateral requirements, risk management, and competition. Its long-term relevance depends on whether users find practical reasons to use these products.DePIN rose 5.79% in one day. Staring at this number, what comes to mind is the old problem of running a company: the books look lively, but can you actually pay the bills? According to SoSoValue data, this round saw a general rebound in the crypto sector, with Bitcoin and Ethereum also strengthening, and DePIN leading the gains. I prefer to see this as the market re-pricing this sector rather than as proof that the business model has already been validated.
Doing business means calculating input versus output. Equipment investment is just the beginning; there are ongoing expenses like maintenance and operations. Applied to DePIN, what concerns me most is: how much of the user payments come from genuine demand, and how much is propped up by incentives? A rising token price can improve participants' paper returns, but it doesn't automatically mean customers are willing to keep paying. These two accounts should not be mixed.
My judgment is that this rally is positive for sector sentiment but offers limited proof of operational quality. Here's my speculation: if revenue depends on token incentives but expenses must be paid continuously in cash, then when the market cools, cash flow gaps may be exposed. Risk reserves must be kept according to expenses and cannot be counted on rising market expectations.
When I look at this kind of news, I first separate the price increase from the operational accounts. Next, I want to observe whether projects disclose paid demand, ongoing costs, and reserve arrangements; attractive valuations can boost morale, but only cash flow that can survive the off-season convinces me.11月3日，世界黄金协会发布2026年第三季度黄金需求报告。央行和其他官方机构净增持321吨，实物支持型黄金ETF持仓净增约211吨，全球金条金币需求却同比下降19%。同一个季度，为什么有的渠道在增持，有的渠道需求在减少？ 先把比较基准对齐。321吨和211吨分别是官方部门和ETF在三季度的净增持量，19%则是金条金币需求相对去年同期的降幅。如果统一看同比，官方部门净买入增加42%，ETF当季净增持量减少6%，金条金币需求减少19%。 官方部门买了321吨，其中约120吨已有公开报告 321吨是全球央行和其他官方机构买入扣除卖出后的净额。按截至10月30日的披露数据，国家层面已报告的净买入约120吨，其余约63%由世界黄金协会对未报告活动进行估算后纳入。随着后续披露补充，季度数据可能修订，现有公开信息只支持对已披露部分做国别归因。 世界黄金协会把储备多元化和风险管理视为官方购买的主要驱动。对官方部门来说，增持黄金是调整整个储备组合的一种方式。这个决策发生在储备管理层面，与零售买家在不同资产之间的选择有各自的考量，因此两类需求在同一季度可以朝不同方向变化。 ETF从净流出转正，增持规模低BTC briefly dipped to 75,691 today, ETH spiked to 2,226, but don’t just focus on the candlesticks. What’s more noteworthy is the shrinking positions: BTC perpetual 24-hour open interest dropped by 2.1%, ETH 7-day open interest decreased by 6.2%, indicating that old leverage is being withdrawn. This signal doesn’t mean the sell-off is fully cleared; it’s more like deleveraging on one side while re-betting on the other. The question is whether the new positions are bottom-fishing long or trend-following short — it’s still unclear.
Funding rates haven’t fully cooled off either: BTC remains at +0.01%, ETH has cooled but is still above the 7-day average. Price breakdown and total positions declining leave long costs relatively high, making the structure unstable.
Whether this is a fakeout or a real drop depends on where the new positions stand after the old leverage is cleared. Strategically, don’t rush to catch the falling knife; wait until funding rates truly cool down and BTC holds above 75,000 again before discussing further.

#美国10月非农前瞻：就业增长或牵动12月加息预期
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 $BTC The US midterm elections are being held today, and this is positive for Bitcoin in the long term. History shows that BTC has always risen during the twelve months following the last three elections. 2014: +24.5% 2018: +44.9% 2022: +92.3% These elections are very important for cryptocurrencies. The CLARITY Act has already stumbled in the Senate, and if the Democrats win, the chances of its passage will decrease further. Not only that, but a Democratic win could push Trump to launch new attacks on Iran, which would lead to higher oil prices and inflation 🔥 ETH bulls shouldn't just focus on a rebound; what really needs caution right now is position risk!
📊 According to an order book data I follow, the short positions have reached 1.5 billion USDT, while the long positions are relatively weak. More importantly, some long entries are concentrated above 2890. If the current price continues to face pressure, these high-level positions could face greater unrealized losses and margin pressure.
⚠️ The most dangerous scenario is that a price drop triggers a batch of long stop losses, which then leads to forced liquidations of high-leverage accounts. The concentrated selling could turn a normal pullback into a rapid plunge. This process doesn't require all bulls to give up simultaneously; just a concentrated exit near key price levels can amplify volatility.
🔎 But I won't conclude that ETH must fall just because short positions are large. Large holders' positions may include hedges, and data from a single platform doesn't represent the entire market. What really matters is whether shorts continue to add positions and whether spot buying can catch the price during a decline.
🛡️ For today's operations, controlling leverage and setting good stop losses are far more important than guessing the bottom.
If you currently hold ETH longs, would you choose to reduce positions for defense or continue waiting for a rebound? #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ I first put on the brakes for myself after reading: more equity VS less US dollars, you can't directly equate the two.
Hayes estimates that SpaceX may add about 8.6 billion new shares outstanding by June 2027, increasing share supply by about 50%, and warns this could drag down crypto liquidity.
I treat this as a risk contingency plan, not a realized negative. The transmission only holds if AI credit contraction leads to bank balance sheet shrinkage. Which side do you choose: to be alert early to dilution risk, or to wait for evidence of credit contraction? BTC pulled back to 80,000, I revise my view: short-term focus on recovery first.
On November 4, the daily candle closed at 80,508, up 3.94%. During the session, it dipped below the low before October 30, but ultimately recovered to 80,000, closing higher than the highest price of the previous two days.
Yesterday I was bearish, but after this bullish candle appeared, I can no longer pretend the market hasn't changed.
The short-term selling pressure was absorbed, marking a win for the bulls. Moving forward, I am more optimistic about the continuation of the recovery, initially targeting the 50-day moving average around 82,000.
However, the resistance zone between 84,000 and 85,000 remains, and a higher low has yet to be confirmed. Today, I am adjusting the short-term direction, but more evidence is needed to confirm a bull market restart.$BTC Every midterm election period marks the end of a bear market. This was the case in 2014, 2018, and 2022. After the midterm elections, there is another sharp drop, the market bottoms out, and the bull market begins. The difference is that each bottoming time has been occurring earlier. $xCRCL's earnings report exceeded expectations, but what I think is truly worth focusing on is not how much money it made, but the relationship between USDC growth and shareholder returns.
Circle's latest quarterly revenue reached $865 million, a 17% year-over-year increase, with earnings per share of $0.84, significantly surpassing market expectations. However, the USDC circulation at the end of the quarter was about $73.9 billion, basically flat year-over-year.
This is interesting.
Making money from stablecoin business does not necessarily mean the stablecoin scale is growing rapidly. Interest income from reserve assets, interest rate changes, and operating costs can all affect Circle's profits.
For on-chain US stock and RWA investors, what I care more about is: how much sustainable income can future stablecoin payments and tokenized securities settlement scale expansion bring?
CRCL stock reflects the company's equity value, while USDC is just a dollar stablecoin; the two are not the same. Even if you gain CRCL price exposure through on-chain products, you must first confirm whether you have real shareholder rights, as well as liquidity and trading session restrictions.
I will not chase the price just because of one earnings beat for now. The next focus is whether USDC circulation can accelerate again and whether non-interest business income can continue to grow.
