#闪迪财报双超预期，新增140亿美元回购授权 #闪迪 #美股财报 #股票回购#Polymarket洽谈10亿美元融资, with a valuation exceeding $20 billion
Impressive, Polymarket is negotiating a new round of financing with a target valuation of over $20 billion. If the deal goes through, the total funding amount will be about $1 billion. In October last year, its valuation was only 9 billion yuan, and in April this year, an undisclosed round of financing pushed it to 15 billion yuan. From 9 billion to 20 billion, more than doubling in less than a year.
Supporting this valuation are three things happening simultaneously.
First, money flows in with real money. After the full opening of US platforms in April this year, annualized revenue tripled, reaching over $1.2 billion. The average daily trading volume on US platforms rose from 75 million at the end of May to over 100 million, with international trading still reaching 150 million per day. With the catalyst of the World Cup, combined trading volume for Polymarket and Kalshi surpassed $50 billion in July.
Second, Wall Street has already taken sides. Last October, ICE invested 1 billion, and in April, D.E. Shaw and G Squared went into the round. This list of investors would be considered top-tier in any sector.
Third, the track itself is expanding. The market is shifting from a "niche experiment in the crypto world" to "mainstream financial infrastructure." The World Cup, the U.S. election, economic data—the demand for betting on real-world events is exploding. Kalshi has already reached a valuation of 22 billion and is still negotiating the next round of 40 billion. The two leaders are competing to see who can run faster.
But there are risks behind it.
First, regulation. The CFTC is also investigating Polymarket's marketing practices. The French side directly shut down the website.
Second, competition. Kalshi's trading volume is already three times that of Polymarket. Whether Polymarket can close the gap after taking the money is uncertain.
Third, the sustainability of the business model. Revenue is highly dependent on major event-driven events—catalysts like the World Cup and elections can't exist every year. Whether growth can be maintained in non-election years is the real test.
A valuation of 20 billion is not outrageous. Annualized revenue of 1.2 billion, with a 16-fold price-to-sales ratio, is not expensive in today's AI and crypto sectors. But the premise is that Polymarket can prove it can continue to grow even in non-election years.
The greater significance of this round of financing is that Wall Street is voting with money, treating the prediction market as a legitimate financial track for allocation.
If this money is truly negotiated, the capital competition between Polymarket and Kalshi will escalate further. This is good news for ordinary users—the product will be better to use, and the market will be more transparent. But the premise is that regulators don't suddenly intercept the winner.$SNDK In-depth Analysis of SanDisk's Financial Report: Explosive Performance Yet Crashed, Market Divergence Fully Exposed 🔥
The release of SNDK's earnings report has given all the market a vivid lesson: despite earnestly exceeding expectations, the market couldn't withstand the market pullback.
Many people were stunned after seeing the data: whether it was revenue, profit, or the billion-yuan buyback policy, all exceeded market expectations. The fundamentals were visibly strong, so why did after-hours see a capital sell-off?
Let's first review the solid and solid financial data from this time:
SNDK FY2026 Q4 revenue reached $8.97 billion, far exceeding the market expectation of $8.48 billion; adjusted EPS reached $39.25, far above the estimate of $34.96.
The strong breakthrough in this period was driven by the explosive real demand for AI storage. Orders for flash memory supporting AI computing power continued to grow, directly supporting this quarter's impressive revenue and profits. The industry's prosperity was fully realized, not just a market hype.
Not only did the performance exceed expectations, but the company also announced major positive news: an additional $14 billion in share repurchase authorization, combined with existing remaining quotas, bringing the total repurchase scale to $15.5 billion.
A repurchase of over 100 billion yuan in real money is a strong support signal in any industry, representing the listed company's recognition of its valuation and optimism about future development, representing a standard positive effect.
But the capital market always follows one iron rule: market trends speculate on expectations, not the past.
No matter how impressive the current performance, it only reflects past prosperity, while funds are pricing in future growth potential.
The core cause of this weakening market is that next quarter's revenue guidance falls short of market sentiment expectations.
FY2027 Q1 revenue guidance ranges from 10.3 billion to 10.8 billion USD, with a midpoint below the market's previously consensually optimistic forecast.
Even a slight weakness in the forward-looking data directly reversed capital sentiment, with profit-taking at high levels concentrated and triggering a rapid after-hours correction.
This has completely changed the current market logic of the storage sector:
Previously, funds only cared about "whether the current data is good and whether orders are hot enough";
Now everyone is re-examining the core question—how long can the boom cycle of AI storage last?
The current market divide has been amplified:
Some believe this round of decline is just the fulfillment of positive news and funds taking advantage of strong performance to cash in at high levels;
Others think it was due to excessive market expectations in the early stages, and even with peak performance, it failed to match the capital's extreme imagination.
With this, the AI storage sector has completely moved away from the stage of "simply telling stories and hyping emotions." Future market trends will no longer rely on themes but must rely on real data for verification.
Next, the core factors determining the sector's movement remain in three ways:
1. Can the price increase trend of NAND flash memory continue?
2. Can the downstream rigid demand for AI high-bandwidth flash memory maintain high explosive growth;
3. The company's true profitability and whether it matches the current high valuation.
The current market trends of the three storage giants accurately reflect market divergence:
SKHYNIX, SNDK, and Micron MU—their price trends are clearly diverging, with capital shifting from a unanimous bullish view to a cautious game.
At this stage, trading strategies must be completely transformed:
There's no need to blindly chase gains just because of quarterly performance performance, nor should the weak quarterly guidance completely dismiss the entire AI storage sector.
The industry's long-term logic remains, but short-term valuations have reached high levels of competition. Going forward, focus will be on tracking spot price increases, downstream real demand resilience, and companies' sustained profitability, while following real fundamental operations.
Maintain rationality in trading, avoid extreme bullish or bearish views, leave enough room for error, and go with the flow—this is the optimal solution right now.

His logic: companies are borrowing trillions for AI infrastructure. If those bets don't pay off, governments bail them out with printed money

Do you dare to chase $BTC #MSTR再卖1638枚比特币 now? Its scale has been halved The same cat is 20% more expensive on the chain. Where did you buy it?
There's a pretty interesting detail today. Bitstamp has put CASHCAT on the platform. The official announcement post hasn't even appeared yet, but the trading feature on the page is already working.
Let's first clarify the relationship between these names. Bitstamp is a long-established exchange in Luxembourg, and in early June, Robinhood bought it for $200 million in cash. CASHCAT is a meme coin running on Robinhood's own chain. So now, a cat has grown on Robinhood's chain, and the exchange Robinhood bought has put this cat on its token.
The real interesting part is the price. At the time of writing, Bitstamp's CASHCAT quoted $0.1123, while GMGN's on-chain price was $0.132, up 48% in 24 hours. For the same coin, the difference between the two places is nearly 20%.
The price difference itself isn't complicated; the new coin's market-making depth hasn't fully expanded, and the brick-moving channel between the two markets hasn't been opened, so the price forks. But what it reveals is quite important—where you buy determines your cost line. The same amount of money, a 20% difference in entry makes the subsequent ups and downs feel completely different.
This price difference won't last. Either the price is pushed down on-chain to the exchange, or the exchange is bought up and moved on-chain. Who bears the burden in the middle depends on whose depth is thin. In the past, when encountering such situations, most of the losses were the chasing highs on the side with the depth of the thin side.
Let's flip back a bit. This cat rose 120% last week, with its market value returning to around $86 million, but in mid-July it hit 22 cents, and now it's just over 13 cents, still halfway up. The so-called 120% increase means climbing out of a deeper pit, not a new high. Many people automatically overlook this difference.
There's another perspective worth pondering. Robinhood's move is that the chain is its own, the exchange buys its own token, and the issuing platform is just starting up on this chain. From minting a coin to having a pool and then listing on centralized exchanges, the entire journey is completed within the same company's territory. The efficiency is indeed high, but this also means that third parties who can judge whether it's worth the price basically don't exist.
Here are a few silly questions for your own market watch. Is its 24-hour turnover enough for your position to exit unscathed? Is there a specific event on the day it rises? Is it purely driven by capital? How long does the price gap between the two markets converge, and where does it converge? If you can't answer these three questions, it means your understanding of it is still stuck at the K-line level.
By the way, let's talk about the overall environment. BTC is still hovering between 64,000 and 65,000, the 200-week moving average is above 63,657, but volume hasn't followed, so there's only so much money in the market. When meme prices rise at times like this, people grab the chips already available in the market, not new money entering the market, so they come and go quickly. This is nothing like last year's incremental rally.
Would you go out of your way to place an order in another market just to be 20% short?#SandiskBeatAndBuyback Sandisk beat expectations, announced another $14B buyback… and still fell after hours 😅
Q4 revenue hit $8.97B with adjusted EPS of $39.25, but softer Q1 guidance spoiled the party. Classic market behavior: yesterday’s beat matters less than tomorrow’s outlook 📉
AI storage demand clearly isn’t the problem anymore. Now it’s all about whether NAND pricing and high-bandwidth flash demand can justify the valuation.
Big buyback, cautious guidance — which signal are you trusting more? 👀One term has recently come up again: CRS.
Caixin reported that as CRS information exchange becomes routine, tax authorities can now fully obtain dividend and cash value data for overseas policies. The previous gap in tax administration is being filled, and the payment of insurance gains under overseas income taxation has already begun to be processed.
CRS, simply put, is a cross-border account information exchange mechanism. If you open an account at a financial institution overseas, that institution reports your account information to the local tax authorities, and the information is then exchanged to your tax status locally. It doesn't collect taxes itself; it only lets others know what you have.
What really matters is the second half of the sentence. CRS will be upgraded to 2.0, with core changes clearly stating that crypto assets, central bank digital currencies, and specific electronic money products will be included in the definition of financial assets.
What does this line mean? Previously, this mechanism focused on bank accounts, securities accounts, insurance policies, and trusts; crypto assets were not on the list, not because they were safe, but because the rules hadn't written them in the rules yet. Now, adding a line to the list changes the nature.
I know many people's first reaction is: what's there to fear about on-chain anonymity? Here's a misunderstanding. Your name is indeed not written on-chain, but your coins are very likely not lying in your wallet the entire time. Buying requires passing the exchange, withdrawing funds requires passing the exchange. The exchange itself is a financial institution with your identity documents and a snapshot of your assets. Once the rules include crypto assets as financial assets, the exchange must report the amount according to the rules, which has nothing to do with whether the blockchain is anonymous or not.
There's also resonance. Caixin's section also mentioned that overseas stock trading, offshore insurance, and offshore trusts are all tightening in sync with tax management. In other words, it's not a single move, but several lines pushing forward together. Around the same time, the UK and US are setting rules for stablecoins, and the requirements for on-chain transfer traceability are moving forward. The direction is consistent: crypto assets are being filled into the existing financial system step by step, from a rule-bound blank.
What use is that for trading? Not in the short term, it doesn't change today's candlestick. BTC is still grinding between 64,000 and 65,000, the 200-week moving average is just above 63,657, volume hasn't kept up, and Coinbase's premium has been negative for 79 consecutive days. These numbers have nothing to do with tax regulations.
In the medium to long term, there are variables. Once compliance costs rise, two things will happen simultaneously. One group of gray funds will have their activity space squeezed, potentially taking away some liquidity in the short term. The other group of compliance institutions' money will actually dare to come in more because the rules are clearer and risks can be priced. Which of these two forces is stronger depends on the pace of implementation; it's not something you can decide on a whim.
My approach is to first write it down in a notebook, and then adjust liquidity expectations after the specific implementation timetable is released. This has a characteristic: when it's announced, the market doesn't react; it only becomes apparent in the months when it actually takes effect.
Do you adjust your holdings because of these rule changes, or do you still feel distant from yourself?#闪迪财报双超预期，新增140亿美元回购授权 $SKHY
The storage sector collectively plunged back into a downtrend.
Still holding the short position opened near 1100 on Hynix; the current price has dropped to around 1051.
Watching to see if it can break the support tonight and continue the decline.
As mentioned before, 1070-1050 is the first support zone. The price has now fallen into this range, indicating that the downtrend structure after the failed rebound is still unfolding.
The logic hasn't changed:
Positive news has been fully priced in, but the sector can't rally; the downtrend channel remains unbroken, and even the support levels are starting to fail.
✔ Short opened near 1100
✔ Current price 1056, down 44 points
✔ Original stop loss at 1132
✔ Weakness continues, target remains near 1012
At this position, I won't chase shorts anymore, just manage the existing positions. As unrealized profits grow, I will gradually tighten protection to prevent profitable trades from turning into losses again.
I'm not shorting the entire storage cycle, but rather the failure of this rebound after all the positive news has been priced in.
The price has now given the answer; the rest is just to execute the plan.#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck Good afternoon, brothers! I just finished lunch and turned on my phone, almost spraying food on the screen—$BTC 65015! Just a couple of days ago, he was lying around at 62,000, and now he's already hitting 65,000? It climbed from a low of 62,200 all the way to 65,026, rebounding nearly 2,800 points. It feels like suddenly having extra money in your salary card—confused, but still enjoyable 😅
What's going on? Expectations of a US-Iran ceasefire + oil prices plummet. Trump and Iran are about to discuss the Strait of Hormuz, Brent crude oil has plunged, inflation concerns have eased, risk appetite has restored, and money is flowing out of oil into the crypto world. The crypto world basically got a free lunch.
BlackRock led the charge, with IBIT seeing a net inflow of $196.8 million in one day. Bitcoin ETFs have seen a total inflow of $626 million over the past three days. Even more impressive, over 38,000 bitcoins flowed into hoarding addresses, one of the largest inflows in history. The whales are secretly eating food, just like the aunties rushing to buy during supermarket discounts.
But don't celebrate too soon—Fed Governor Tim Cook has taken a hawkish stance, saying that if inflation doesn't fall, he supports continued rate hikes. Within the FOMC, 9 votes in favor of holding the table and 3 against calling for a rate hike is the first time since 2016. Expectations for rate hikes could rebound at any time.
Moreover, the 65,000 level is probably the "ceiling" for daily rebounds. Transaction volume only increased by 15%, and breaking through without volume always made me feel a bit uneasy—telling my blind date "I have a house" ended up being the same as renting. Let's have a sip of tea and watch the show first. 🍵美股史上最大解禁来了！SpaceX今天放出9亿股，流通盘直接翻倍
今天（8月6日），SpaceX员工和IPO前股东持有的最多9.115亿股股票正式解禁。
按8月5日收盘价108.27美元算，这批股票价值约987亿美元。按8月4日收盘价125.33美元算，则是1140亿美元。
不管按哪个算，这都是美国资本市场历史上最大规模的一次锁定期解禁。
几个关键数字，你先感受一下：
SpaceX目前流通盘只有6.39亿股。今天解禁的9.115亿股，是现有流通盘的1.43倍。
解禁后，可交易股份从6.39亿股增加到最多15.5亿股。
但这只是开始。到今年12月初，可流通股份将暴增到53.3亿股，是现在的8倍多。
SpaceX和其他IPO公司最大的不同在哪？
绝大多数公司IPO后，锁定期一到，所有股份一次性解禁。但SpaceX搞了个九阶段分批解禁。
今天释放的是第一批——适用180天锁定期的20%。接下来8月20日、9月9日、9月24日、10月9日、10月26日，每次再放7%。三季度财报后再放28%。12月8日剩余部分全部解禁。
Baillie Gifford的基金经理说了一句话特别到位：“我们从未见过这样的安排，从未见过如此规模的解禁，也从未见过这种分阶段实施的锁定期。我们正处于未知领域。”
那这些股票会被卖掉吗？
不一定。解禁不等于卖出。
但问题是——谁拿着这些股票？他们什么成本？
SpaceX一年前的私募估值才4000亿美元左右。今年完成对xAI的收购后，整体估值到了1万亿美元。
就算现在股价从高点跌了近50%，早期投资者和员工手里的账面收益依然巨大。
Renaissance Capital的分析师说得很直接：“员工和早期投资者很难抗拒出售的机会，因为他们手握巨额收益，有很强的动力实现回报并分散持股。”
更关键的是，有些早期投资者想套现不是为了消费——是为了抢购其他公司的私募股票，比如OpenAI、Anthropic、Anduril。这笔钱不会留在账上，它会直接流向下一个赌桌。
所以今天真正在发生什么？
我认为这不是一次普通的解禁。这是一场供给端的海啸。
上市之初，SpaceX的流通盘只占总股本不到5%，稀缺性撑起了估值。
今天开始，这种稀缺性正在被系统性瓦解。而且空头早就坐好了位置——目前约30%-35%的可流通股份被做空，空头账面盈利约70亿美元。#财报观察员：业绩喜忧参半，解禁将至！SpaceX后续怎么看？ 255 people were fed a cup of coffee with USDT that couldn't be drunk
Let me start with a scene. At the end of last year, a company called Fun Coffee began appearing on the streets of Hong Kong, organizing marathons, hosting banquets, handing out flyers, and even inviting TV artists to host events. There are stores, offices, and the company is officially registered.
Its external identity is that of a large coffee investment company on Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam, claiming a capital scale exceeding 1 billion USD. If you had passed by its event venue back then, you probably wouldn't have thought it was a setup.
The real business is in the app. Download, complete tasks, and top up—the top-up uses cryptocurrencies like USDT. Nominally, you invest in high-tech coffee equipment, gene optimization technology, and agricultural equipment, promising annualized returns of 197% to 278%. The larger the amount and the longer the term, the more you pay. They also set upstream and downstream revenue sharing, with commissions for bringing people in.
In July 2026, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission classified it as a suspicious investment product. Later that month, the app suddenly shut down, making it impossible to withdraw funds, customer service went missing, and the office and store were deserted.
By August 5, Hong Kong police had received a total of 255 reports, 30 more than before, with total losses reaching about 104 million HKD. In Macau, the Judiciary Police also arrested two women, involved in nine cases involving about 3.6 million Macau Patacas. Police stated that during the investigation, they will contact the victim and related parties to confirm the mastermind and the roles they played. This statement is a response to claims that some artists have hosted their events.
What I want to say isn't how clever this game is—it's actually not clever at all. Annualized from 197% to 278%—anyone who has been in the market for half a year would get goosebumps just by seeing it. What really hooks people isn't the yield, but the whole set of offline moves ahead: marathons, dinners, celebrities, physical stores, company registration. These things are sending the same signal; we have a physical entity and cannot escape.
And it chose USDT to collect payments. This step is the most ruthless in the entire design. Bank transfers have counterparty information, transaction records, and traces of recourse; once USDT is entered, it is a string of addresses. You can indeed trace where the money went on-chain, but finding it and getting it back are two different things. A few days ago, data also showed that stablecoin issuers take more than two hours on average from submitting a freeze proposal to actual execution. Those monitoring proposals have long since left, and those stuck are those who don't know what to monitor.
There's a silly way to screen it all yourself. See if it promises fixed income, whether it dares to let you use your bank card for transactions, and whether its returns are tied to how many people you bring in. Out of three points, one can be crossed out no matter how well the earlier promotion is done.
Will it affect the market? To be honest, there isn't one. Even with 104 million HKD, a single BTC candlestick can't be sold. It's still grinding between 64,000 and 65,000. The 200-week moving average of 63,657 just broke through, and volume hasn't followed. But if these cases accumulate too often, other consequences will arise. Regulators will tighten requirements for stablecoin payments and on-chain transfers requiring real-name registration each time. That is something to face three months from now, not today's market.
Has anyone around you ever talked to you about a project with an annual yield of over 200 yuan? How did you respond at the time?BTC's current rebound at $64,500 is very critical, and this level can be seen as a long-short conversion zone for the current short-term structure.
If BTC effectively breaks below $64,500 and then fails to recover after a rebound, it indicates that the previous high-level bottom-raising structure is beginning to be disrupted, and $64,500 may shift from support to resistance. In this case, I will continue to hold existing small short positions and sequentially observe the take-offs between $64,200–$64,000 and $63,700–$63,900.
However, a single downward insertion is not enough to confirm a valid break. A more reliable signal should be the 15-minute candlestick closing below $64,500, followed by resistance in that area and another break below the rebound low.
Conversely, if BTC fails to effectively break below $64,500 after a pullback, or briefly falls below and then quickly recovers, it indicates that the selling pressure below is being absorbed by buyers, and the price may continue to fluctuate at high levels and test $65,000 again.
In this case, I would consider establishing a light ultra-short long position, but this position is only used to play for rebounds around $64,850–$65,000, and I won't consider it a medium-term trend long position. Since there is still significant supply between $65,000 and $65,200, it is advisable to take profits in batches after approaching the resistance zone rather than continuing to pursue a breakout.
The most important thing right now is not to predict BTC will definitely rise or fall, but to observe the price reaction near $64,500: a breakdown and failed rebound, with bears regaining control; If the price breaks below and quickly recovers, the bulls will still maintain a short-term structural advantage. $BTC #闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added $SNDK SanDisk plunged 15% yesterday, not because the company has worsened, but because market expectations have cooled + profit-taking at high levels has been realized.
My view:
In the short term, don't rush to bottom-fish; first check if it can stabilize near $120. If it breaks below the previous low, it means funds are still retreating and may continue to seek support.
In the medium to long term, AI data center storage demand remains the main theme, but SanDisk has shifted from a low-valuation cyclical stock to a high-expected growth stock, and further gains require continued performance validation.
Strategically:
✅ Already held: Don't panic and cut positions just because of a single sharp drop; observe AI storage demand and next quarter's order situation.
✅ Want to buy: Don't go all-in; wait for market sentiment to release and then gradually invest in batches.
❌ It is not recommended to chase the rally; short-term rebounds could easily turn into trapped positions. #闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization $SNDK was added Evening News! Michael Saylor's recent statement about "BTC remaining overcollateralized even after falling to $5,000" is not just a simple verbal reassurance, but rather a public deep "stress test" targeting MicroStrategy (MSTR)'s debt structure.
From a macro perspective, this statement has the following far-reaching implications for the market and MSTR's valuation logic:
1. Completely cut off the panic narrative of a "liquidation chain reaction."
*Market Sentiment: The biggest concern for whales and institutional investors is the "forced liquidation" of the largest holders. Seller clearly stated the $5,000 liquidation line, meaning that even if the crypto market experiences a 90% extreme drawdown, MSTR will not be forced to sell.
*Impact: This establishes a "psychological defense" for $BTC. When the market knows the largest individual holders have extremely high leverage tolerance, short-selling momentum against $BTC weakens due to the lack of expectations of a "liquidation stamp."
2. "Antifragility" analysis of debt structure
*Low Cost Leverage: Most of MSTR's debt consists of long-term convertible senior bonds, many of which are zero or extremely low interest rates. This debt structure does not rely on short-term price fluctuations but rather on long-term expectations from 2028 to 2032.
*Financial trump card: Even if $BTC crashes, as long as MSTR can maintain cash flow from its software business or has enough unstaked $BTC (currently MSTR owns a large amount of unstaked assets) as supplementary collateral, its liquidation risk is nearly zero. This demonstrates the robustness of its "financial engineering" to Wall Street.
3. $MSTR Logical reconstruction of stock premiums
*Leverage anchor: Thaler's remarks reshaped $MSTR from a "high-risk leveraged tool" into a "Bitcoin index with an extremely high margin of safety."
*Valuation Preferences: The logic of capital inflows into $MSTR will shift from "seeking volatility" to "long-term certainty." Against the backdrop of August 6, 2026, as hard tech assets like $SNDK lock in the lower space through buybacks, $MSTR is essentially imitating this behavior of "lock in risk through capital structure design."
4. Macro transmission to the cryptocurrency market
*$BTC Asset Characterization: This statement further reinforces $BTC's status as a "perpetual asset." If top institutions can withstand the $5,000 stress test, then $BTC, fluctuating between $50,000 and $60,000, is given stronger institutional holding confidence.
*Sector linkage: This move will stabilize the long-term expectation of ecosystem assets such as $STX (Bitcoin Layer 2) and $ORDI, which hold large amounts of $BTC reserves.
5. In-depth Advice: What to Look Forward To?
*Watch the premium rate between MSTR and BTC: Currently, $MSTR typically has a premium of 1.5x - 2.5x relative to its net value of interest (NAV). With Seller's "liquidation trump card" revealed, this premium rate is expected to remain strong in a volatile market.
*Key position monitoring: Although the liquidation line is at $5,000, the market's "sentiment stop-loss level" is usually around MSTR's average holding cost (currently around $38,000). As long as $BTC stays above this price, MSTR is a perfect liquidity siphon machine.
*Risk warning: The only thing that can break this logic is the collapse of the credit market. If systemic risk arises in the U.S. Treasury market causing difficulties in corporate bond refinancing, even if Thaler is not liquidated, he will face enormous financial pressure.
Conclusion: Saylor's remarks are a "final ultimatum" to institutional investors—don't try to liquidate MSTR by dumping the market. This greatly consolidates $BTC's bottom support in the complex macro environment of 2026. Operationally, $MSTR pullbacks often serve as long-term gold buying points for entering the $BTC ecosystem $BTC $ETH $MSTR

这句才是重点。超额抵押说白了就是押的东西比借的钱值钱，只要这关系还在，债主就不会来敲门。他敢把话说到5000这么狠，靠的不是币价，是分母小。650亿里头如果只有一小块是借来的，剩下的都是发股票、发优先股募来的，那这部分钱根本没有到期日，不用还，也就谈不上被强平。
所以他这话严格说不算吹牛，但也不是你听到的那个意思。风险没消失，只是换了个地方待着。借来的钱有到期日，募来的钱没有，代价是每发一次新股，老股东手里那份就被稀释一次。币不跌，持股的人也在一点点变少。这笔账不写在清算价上，写在每股含币量上。
为什么说这事跟咱们有关。市场上囤币的上市公司现在一大堆，大家最怕的场景就是哪天币价砸下来，这些公司被债主逼着卖币，踩出连环踏。判断一家公司会不会变成砸盘方，别看老板喊得多响，看它的钱是借来的还是募来的。借来的那部分才是引信，募来的顶多让财报难看。
这也能解释另一个现象。前阵子有家公司手里18712枚BTC，账面从16.4亿缩到11亿，浮亏五个多亿，一枚都没动。不动它就只是报表上一个数字，动了才变成真金白银的亏。囤币大户宁可拿币抵押借钱也不肯直接卖，逻辑是同一套。
落到盘面上，这番话对今天的K线没影响。BTC还在6.4到6.5万磨，200周均线63657刚站上，量一直没跟。真正有用的是它给了个抓手：去翻这些公司的可转债到期时间表和转股价，哪一年集中到期，哪个价位会触发条款，那才是可能出事的时间点。
短期看，这类喊话是情绪层面的东西，听过就算。长期看，囤币公司的融资结构决定了下一轮下跌时抛压有多重，这个变量比任何一条均线都实在。
顺便说一句，Coinbase溢价还是-0.11，连着79天为负，美国本土现货买盘没回来。喊话再响，也没体现在盘口价差上。
你会因为老板一句我们完全没问题就安心持仓吗，还是宁可自己去翻一遍报表。#MSTR再卖1638枚比特币，规模腰斩 Regarding Stake Capping and EIP 8361:
The Ethereum Foundation and many core researchers believe reducing issuance would be better for the network. They argue that it strengthens Ethereum's store-of-value (SoV) properties while maintaining or even improving long-term security.
On the other hand, lending and DeFi applications argue that lower issuance would reduce their revenue and user activity, ultimately leading to less onchain activity and a net negative outcome for the network and ETH as a productive asset itself.
Some loopers generate yield directly from issuance, so they have a clear economic incentive to oppose any reduction.
What we really need is someone to run the numbers to stop the political answers and get right to it.
If issuance is reduced:
1- Would looping still exist? If looping largely disappears, what activity would replace it, or how would that impact overall network or ETH usage?
2- If demand for LSTs/LRTs declines, how much would that reduce network activity and demand for ETH?
3- Would Ethereum's stronger deflationary characteristics increase ETH's price enough to offset some of the lost activity?
4-Would a lower issuance rate attract more users, capital, and new applications to the network over the long term?
I'm not engaging in the solo-staker debate because I believe those arguments have already been addressed and don't materially alter the broader trajectory. (esp with Strawmap roadmap)
Answering these questions would move the discussion away from ideology and toward NUMBERs.#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck The gold $XAU I bought in batches starting in June is finally close to 🤣 breaking even
During that period, the price kept falling, and I didn't dare to go all in—I just kept adding it bit by bit.
At the time, I wondered when I'd break even, but unexpectedly, this surge was quite fast.
I think the main reason for the recent strength in gold is the main reason
First, reports emerged that the US and Iran have recently reached a temporary agreement, likely to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, causing Brent crude oil to plummet.
The second market lowered the probability of a Fed rate hike in September from 68% to 59%, and the market began betting that the probability of future Fed hikes would decrease, leading to a decline in the dollar and Treasury yields, which provided support for gold.
Third, central banks around the world continue to buy large amounts of gold; China's central bank has increased its gold reserves for 20 consecutive months, and South Korea has resumed large-scale gold purchases after 13 years.
But after going through this round, my biggest takeaway is:
Buying gold really tests patience.
Unlike some stocks or coins that can rise by more than ten points a day, gold is more often a grind.
When prices drop, you want to cut off; when prices rise a bit, you want to exit.
Fortunately, I bought in batches, so I felt a bit more relaxed.
Now I'm almost broke even, and I hope I won't be on another roller coaster this time$BTC

规律是参考，不是预言。Your long position is only 3,000 points apart from the 1.5 billion margin call
This afternoon, a number appeared on the market: 61456.
This isn't a support line drawn by anyone; it's a threshold calculated from the liquidation intensity. If BTC falls below this level, the cumulative liquidation strength of long positions on mainstream exchanges will reach $1.527 billion. To put it plainly, if you drop over 3,000 points from here, over $1.5 billion in long positions will be forcibly wiped out by the system, whether you like it or not.
I checked the current position: BTC is grinding between 64,000 and 65,000, touched 65,008 today, then dropped again, now just over 64,000. Just over 3,000 points from 61,456. It sounds distant, but if you look at the timeframe, there were several intraday fluctuations of 3,000 points in July.
Look to the other side. Above, 67341 has a short wall of 1.437 billion yuan, just over 2,000 points below the current price. The lower wall has 3,000 points, the upper wall has 2,000 points, and the upper wall is closer. This is why the market keeps pushing upward and then falling back down. Pushing upward means taking short positions, falling downward means taking long positions. Both sides have profit, and no one is willing to move first.
I care more about the direction of the money. In the past 24 hours, Binance saw a net inflow of 448 million USDT, showing that the money was indeed flowing into the exchange. But the money coming in isn't necessarily a buying bid; it could be used to pay margin, be ready to take stock, or be ready to dump. The same U was put into the exchange, and no one knew what it was for. This is the easiest place to deceive on-chain data—jumping to conclusions just by looking at inflows and outflows usually leads to failure.
By the way, here's a contrast. Coinbase's premium remains at -0.11, with 79 consecutive days of negative losses since May 19. The lower this number, the weaker the buying pressure in the U.S. domestic spot market. On one side, BTC spot ETFs saw a net inflow of 244 million yuan for three consecutive days; on the other, the premium has been underwater for nearly three months. Institutions are using their own channels, while retail investors haven't connected at all. When these two numbers compete, I trust premium more; it's the real money difference on the market and can't be faked.
How should the 1.527 billion yuan settlement be used? My view is not to treat it as a prediction; it's more like a map marking which floor is hollow. If the price really drops to around 61,456, that segment will move especially fast, because it's not the people selling but the system itself. If you want to buy in that range, first figure out if your leverage can withstand those few minutes of pin insertion.
The 200-week moving average is now at 63,657, which is the average cost line for all buyers over the past four years. BTC had just climbed up shortly after its volume. Standing on it without measuring is not much different from not standing at all.
In the short term, this kind of wall-like structure is most frustrating for frequent people coming and going, with fees and slippage being deducted daily. Looking at the longer term, the chip trading within this range is not a bad thing; the longer you grind, the less floating chips you have.
With your current position, can you still hold a drop of 3,000 points? Or are you already calculating the liquidation price?#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization $SKHY
This collective downward movement has returned to the downward channel
Short positions opened near 1100 for SK Hynix are still holding, and the spot price has already reached around 1051
Let's see if it can break below support and continue to decline tonight
As mentioned earlier, 1070-1050 is the first support zone. Now that the price has fallen to this range, it means the downward structure after the failed rebound is still being realized.
The logic hasn't changed:
Positive factors are concentrated in the field, but sectors remain stagnant; The downward channel hasn't broken through, and even support has started to be lost.
✔ Short selling opened near 1100
✔ The current price is 1056, already above 44 points
✔ Original stop loss at 1132
✔ Weakness continues, with targets still around 1012
At the current position, I won't chase short positions anymore, only manage my positions. Once unrealized gains expand, protection will gradually be tightened to prevent profit-taking orders from turning into losses again.
I shorted not the entire storage cycle, but after all the positive news had been released, this rebound still failed.
Now that the price has given the answer, all that's left is to stick to the plan.SanDisk and Western Digital plunged sharply in after-hours trading after their earnings releases. Both posted slightly better-than-expected results for the period, but their guidance for next quarter fell short of expectations. Coupled with weaker growth compared to Seagate in Western Digital, the decline was triggered.
The overall fundamentals of the storage industry are positive, with AI driving strong demand and tight supply. This is a short-term correction with overly high expectations and only two minor risks. The long-term industry prosperity logic remains unchanged, and the outlook remains positiveADP employment cools, Fed policy divergence intensifies: the market is repricing the next phase of direction
The U.S. job market is sending out new signals.
The latest ADP employment data shows a significant slowdown in corporate hiring and new jobs falling short of market expectations. Although ADP data is not fully equivalent to the official non-farm payroll data, as an important indicator of U.S. companies' willingness to hire, it still influences the market's assessment of economic resilience.
In recent times, one of the biggest pillars of the U.S. economy has been the job market.
Consumption relies on employment, economic growth depends on consumption, and the Fed's important policy formulation references also come from employment and inflation.
Now that ADP employment is cooling down, market attention has once again returned to a core issue:
Is the U.S. economy on a "soft landing," or is it gradually entering a phase of growth pressure?
From the current situation, the slowdown in employment is a double-edged sword for the market.
On one hand, cooling employment means wage growth pressure may ease, which is conducive to further inflation decline, which will increase market expectations for future policy shifts.
On the other hand, if employment continues to deteriorate, it could mean economic momentum is declining, and the Fed needs to be more cautious in balancing inflation targets and economic pressures.
This is also why there has been a clear divergence within the Fed recently.
Some officials believe that inflation remains sticky and policy adjustments should not be made too soon, or prices may rebound again.
Others argue that as the job market cools, policies need to pay more attention to economic growth risks.
In short:
Hawks worry that "inflation is not over."
Dovish factions worry that "the economy is starting to slow down."
What the market is truly waiting for is the balance between the two.
For risk assets, the impact of ADP employment cooling is also quite complex.
If the market interprets this as "the economy is cooling but not in recession," then improved liquidity expectations could support tech stocks, growth assets, and the crypto market.
But if subsequent data continues to deteriorate—such as a significant rise in unemployment or increased layoffs—the market may begin trading in recession risks, and short-term volatility will increase.
For DaDing and Ethereum, the core logic still revolves around two directions:
First, look at US dollar liquidity expectations.
If employment continues to weaken, market expectations for a loose environment may strengthen, which would support risk assets.
Second, look at the risk appetite of the capital.
If investors believe the economy is cooling rather than recession, then funds may continue to seek high-growth directions.
But if the market starts worrying about a hard economic landing and risk-averse sentiment intensifies, short-term rallies are prone to fluctuation.
So what the market is truly trading now is not just a single ADP data, but how the U.S. economic cycle is changing.
My viewpoint:
The cooling employment does not mean the economy is facing immediate problems, but it reminds the market that the strongest pillar of the U.S. economy is gradually weakening.
Next, focus on three key points:
First, will nonfarm payroll data continue to weaken?
Second, whether inflation data will continue to decline.
Third, whether the Fed's policy path will become further diverged.
The market is never trading a single data sheet but trading future expectations.
For traders, it is crucial to control the pace at this stage and avoid chasing rises and selling losses based on a single piece of news.
True major market movements often arise from resonance between economic cycles and capital flows. The market is now waiting for the next certainty signal. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #ADP就业降温, Fed policy divergences have intensified An earnings report that exceeded expectations, yet did not lead to a price increase.
This precisely indicates that the focus of market trading has shifted.
SpaceX released its first earnings report since going public, with core data such as revenue, AI business growth, and narrowed losses all beating market expectations. However, the stock price did not continue its strength after hours; instead, it declined. This shows that capital attention is no longer solely on the performance itself.
What truly makes the market hesitant are the two upcoming variables.
One is AI investment. Although the AI business performed impressively, the company also stated it will maintain high capital expenditures in the future. Short-term profit margins will inevitably be affected. Long-term investors see growth potential, but short-term traders see cost pressure.
The other, and more immediate pressure, is the unlocking of approximately 911.5 million shares on August 6. Unlocking does not necessarily mean selling, but it implies a significant increase in potential supply. The market often prices in this risk in advance, so even if the earnings beat expectations, it is difficult to immediately push the stock price higher.
From a trading perspective, I believe we are no longer trading the earnings report but trading expectations.
If the actual selling pressure after unlocking is not as severe as the market fears, there could be a recovery following a "bad news priced in" scenario; but if early shareholders concentrate on cashing out, short-term volatility is likely to continue increasing.
Performance determines long-term value, while capital flow determines short-term price.
At least for SpaceX now, the latter is the market’s main focus in the coming days. $SKHYNIX South Korea didn't leave a backdoor for crypto taxation; this time it's really going to be shut down
On August 5, the South Korean National Assembly officially passed a resolution — the virtual asset taxation bill would not be postponed and would proceed as originally planned. $SNDK
Starting January 1, 2026, crypto asset trading income will be officially taxed at a rate of 22%, with an annual exemption of 2.5 million KRW. Previously, the industry expected another postponement, after all, it has been postponed three times since 2022. This time, I won't back down.
Short-term sentiment shocks may reduce Korean retail investors, and while the market is under pressure, it is unlikely to collapse.
Compliance acceleration in the medium term, taxation means crypto assets are officially incorporated into the financial regulatory system, institutional capital inflows are opening, and short-term pain is benefiting both the long term. In the long run, Korean won stablecoins and compliant exchanges may accelerate their implementation.
In the short term, look at sentiment; in the medium term, look at compliance; in the long term, look at the landscape. There are unplanned tax costs for unrealized gains, long-term allocation needs, and other emotional releases before making moves.

#Circle财报后押注Arc, can USDC experience new growth? 🎯 Gold surges 3%, but BTC sleeps at 64,000: Has the story of "digital gold" been shattered?
This morning, gold and silver surged across the board.
Spot gold: surged to $4,300
Spot silver: broke through $62
COMEX Gold Futures: Reached a high of $4,267, surged over 3% intraday
The catalyst is simple:
US July ADP employment added only 44,000 (expected 65,000–75,000). The employment data was a major upset, directly dampening expectations for a rate hike. As a result, both the dollar and US Treasury yields plunged, while gold and silver took off.
But what is BTC, touted as "digital gold," doing?
It is trading sideways near $64,000, with an intraday gain of less than 1%, steady and unchanged.
📉 Data doesn't lie: correlations are completely broken
If you look back at the data, you'll find that the narrative of "digital gold" will no longer make sense by 2026:
Short-term performance: Gold surged 3% in a single day, while BTC reacted almost unchanged.
Long-term trend: Gold has risen 9% this year, while BTC has fallen 11%.
Expert opinion: Deutsche Bank bluntly states that BTC is "no longer digital gold"; Peter Schiff is sharper, arguing that the correlation between the two has never truly existed.
❓ While gold is in the sky, what is BTC waiting for?
If it's not following gold, then what exactly is BTC following?
And the US stock market? The S&P and Nasdaq are rising, but BTC is not following.
Along with funding? ETFs saw a net inflow of $211.5 million on Tuesday, but prices remained unchanged.
And geopolitics? Progress has been made in US-Iran negotiations, and the market remains unchanged.
💡 Core conclusion: The pricing logic has been completely decoupled
It's not that BTC is failing, but its underlying pricing logic and gold have taken two different paths.
Gold in trading: interest rate expectations, absolute hedge, traditional fiat credit hedging.
BTC in trading: crypto-specific liquidity, regulatory compliance process, and its own halving cycle.
BTC can't fall or rise right now; it's just waiting at 64,000 for its own 'real catalyst' (such as a real rate cut or substantial action by major institutions).
Next time someone recklessly brags you that "BTC is digital gold," you can just throw today's candlestick in their face. Gold is celebrating, BTC is sleeping. This is the most authentic answer for 2026.

#ADP就业降温，联储政策分歧加剧 $SNDK #内存卖方市场延续, can the Korean stock market see a turnaround?
An interesting market move: the memory contract price rally cycle is still ongoing, but the Korean storage sector has already been heavily suppressed. Many people are puzzled: despite the solid fundamentals, why has the stock price fallen so sharply and whether it can reverse later?
TrendForce's data is on display: in Q3, DRAM contract prices are expected to continue rising 13%-18% quarter-on-quarter, and NAND flash is up 10%-15% quarter-on-quarter, marking five consecutive quarters of gains, with the seller's market structure unchanged. On the supply side, the three major manufacturers are very restrained in expansion, with large-scale new capacity not released until mid-2027; AI servers continue to eat up enterprise-level storage capacity, with manufacturers prioritizing high-profit computing power orders, while consumer-grade capacity is continuously squeezed, making the supply-demand gap difficult to close in the short term.
The performance has also been delivered out. Samsung's storage business revenue surged in Q2, with DRAM market share returning to 39%, reclaiming the world's top spot; SK Hynix's profit margin hit a record high, with ample cash on hand. But after the financial report was released, the stock price actually plunged—not because of the performance collapse, but because the market had set expectations too high beforehand. If the consensus fell even slightly, funds would flee.
A large part of the blame for this round of Korean stock market crashes lies with local leveraged funds.
Previously, Korean retail investors frantically pushed for double-leveraged ETFs to bet on savings, causing leverage to swell rapidly, with half of market volatility driven by margin financing piles. After regulators raised margin requirements, leveraged ETF turnover plummeted by 90%, with many accounts passively liquidated, causing massive drawdowns in Samsung and SK Hynix. This is a typical example of a slash caused by leveraged clearing, not purely driven by fundamentals.
Two other practical risks have also been suppressing valuations:
First, the monopoly narrative of HBM has been broken. SK Hynix's HBM market share has fallen from its peak, and Samsung will deliver HBM4 in bulk to NVIDIA in the second half of the year. The market is concerned that ultra-high profits will be diverted;
Second, sentiment in the US storage sector is dragged down. SanDisk's earnings guidance fell short of expectations, dragging down the global semiconductor sector. Korean stocks are heavily weighted, and volatility will be further amplified.
So, can it really reverse the trend?
The bullish logic is clear: the storage price hike cycle is not over, HBM4 shipments are in batches in the second half of the year, enterprise SSD demand continues to surge, and Q3 earnings still have room for upward revision; After a round of aggressive deleveraging, sector valuations have fallen back to very low levels, many institutions have indicated recovery opportunities, and the overall logic of AI computing power capital spending remains intact.
But never blindly buy the dip; the risks should not be ignored either.
Fed rate hike expectations are repeatedly wavering, the US dollar strengthens, and Korean stocks, heavily held by foreign investors, will continue to be constrained by macro liquidity; Domestic storage manufacturers continue to expand production, focusing on mid- and low-end markets at this stage, but will gradually squeeze market share in the long run; Consumer electronics demand remains weak, and if future AI capital spending falls short of expectations, the price hike cycle may end prematurely.
Even in the crypto world, we need to stay alert. Expectations for AI computing power will be transmitted across markets. Korean storage stocks represent global AI hardware sentiment. If this trend continues to weaken, risk assets like BTC and ETH will likely be suppressed; If the storage sector recovers and recovers, it will also indirectly benefit the entire risk asset market.
In summary, the memory seller's market is still ongoing, but a direct V-shaped reversal is very difficult; most likely, it will be a sharp drop followed by a fluctuating bottom. The real trend opportunity depends on Q3 earnings and actual HBM4 shipment data to verify it.
Do you think Korean stocks are now falling out of the golden pit, or is the decline just beginning? [In-depth Analysis] L1 + DEX + Infrastructure: Breakdown of ALD Ecosystem Layout and Node Mechanisms
Looking back at the development history of public blockchains, early network validators and ecosystem builders often played key roles in network scaling and consensus building. As Web3 architectures evolve toward diversification in 2026, single-function networks are facing challenges in ecosystem capacity, while integrated infrastructure is gradually becoming one of the market focal points.
ALD attempts to create a closed-loop ecosystem from underlying computing power to upper-layer application flow through a trinity architecture of "public chain + decentralized exchange (DEX) + Web3 infrastructure."
1. Core Ecosystem Logic
Three-dimensional collaboration: Deeply binds the underlying L1 scaling capabilities with native DEX liquidity pools, while relying on the infrastructure layer to lower the threshold for Web3 application development and improve on-chain interaction efficiency.
Node Network Staking: Unlike some leading public chains that require tens of thousands of USDT in staking thresholds, ALD launched its first batch of partner node solutions (with an entry threshold set at around 800 USDT) before mainnet launch, aiming to reduce the centralization of validator node distribution and attract a broader early community to participate in decentralized network construction.
2. Node ladder mechanism
According to the official community node expansion roadmap, the first batch of nodes is limited to 1,000 nodes, with a stepwise increment mechanism introduced in later phases. This design aims to prioritize incentives for early network builders, ensuring the stability and cohesion of early validator node distribution.
For creators and investors following the early development of public chain ecosystems, observing the progress of network construction and tokenomics design before the mainnet launch is a key indicator for evaluating its long-term value. Guys, CVX rose 7% today, with the veteran DeFi leader showing a technical rebound from the bottom. The protocol still controls about 52% of Curve's voting power, but TVL has clearly declined in the short term—governance dominance remains, but profitability is declining.
What is CVX?
Convex Finance is the "governance hub" of the Curve ecosystem. By locking vlCVX, CVX holders control about 52% of Curve's voting rights, with the direction of weekly CRV liquidity incentive allocation decisions made by CVX holders.
The maximum token supply is 100 million hard caps, with institutional and team ownership unlocking fully completed in 2025, with almost no new project selling pressure, and nearly 93% of market circulation remains in circulation. vlCVX is a user-actively locked token, not a token waiting to be unlocked by the project.
However, protocol fundamentals have clearly weakened: Phase slicing data shows Convex TVL fell 24.3% over the week to $458.6 million; Protocol revenue fell from $35.7 million in full-year 2025 to only $6.6 million so far in 2026, a decline of over 80%.
Hidden risk: Mochi whale positions left behind in 2021
In November 2021, Mochi Finance founder manipulated oracles, extracting about $46 million in liquidity and buying 1.05 million CVX locked in Convex.
On March 19, 2026, this address sold 550,000 CVX, directly plunging the price from 1.97 to 1.68. Currently, about 500,000 CVX are still locked in Convex, and future unlocks and selling will create potential selling pressure.
Key price points
Resistance levels: 1.53-1.58 (a breakout would target 1.74-1.80),
Support below: 1.36-1.40 (if it fails, 1.18-1.20).
1.53-1.58 is the key resistance zone, and 1.36 is the bullish defensive line. TVL fell 24% in one week, revenue shrank by 80%, and the sustained rebound requires fundamental support.
CVX has the scarce Curve governance moat, with a clean token unlock structure. However, TVL and protocol revenue continued to shrink, weakening fundamentals. The value of governance rights is real, but the ongoing decline in protocol profitability will further weaken this narrative.
Additionally, the 500,000 locked CVX left by Mochi's founder represents a potential selling pressure hanging overhead.
For CVX, tracking Curve's TVL and Convex protocol bribery fee income is far more valuable than tracking short-term candlesticks.

#Circle财报后押注Arc, can USDC experience new growth? Only go long, not short on altcoins. Going long can be at most double, short selling wastes your life, short selling is easy to make money and can be made daily, but encountering a meme coin is basically useless......
For example, if you buy HEI at 0.1 and get $1,000 at zero, you'll lose $1,000. If you go long at 0.1 and go $1,000 at 0.5, that's $5,000. There's no upper limit to profit from going long, but limited profit from shorting.
When altcoins get popular, a few monster coins will always appear. In the crypto world, it's not impossible for underdogs to make a comeback. After all, there are far more short sellers than in any market. Everyone knows altcoins will eventually hit zero. In theory, as long as you have enough capital to short, you can go long for profit. But since we're both underdogs, where do we get unlimited bullets?
Most altcoins have insiders lurking with market makers. You just need to observe your holdings. The shell of small-cap altcoin contracts is about $5 million, meaning that as long as altcoins aren't delisted, they'll almost always buy around $5 million in market value.
So, with a market cap of $5 million, no hype, no liquidity, why do you hold two to three million dollars? Both positions are equal to market value. Do you think such a counterfeit would have a market holder?
For this kind of altcoin, you only need to ambush and give it $1,000. Your cost is lower than the marketer's, and your advantage is to enter and exit quickly. The market players can't leave, and the ship is too big to turn around. If the price keeps falling, the market players lose more than you, so it's not a bad road.
In short, if you want to turn things around, go long and short in the short term and you can make money in the short term. If you encounter a demon coin, just go to sleep and short-sell for the rest of your life.

On August 6, it was reported that U.S. Congressman Ro Kana plans to introduce a "Data Center Rights Bill," aiming to give local communities more decision-making power and allow residents to reject data center projects that do not align with local interests.
Why did this spark controversy?
Because behind AI lies not only code and algorithms, but also a large number of data centers to support it.
These massive AI infrastructures are consuming massive amounts of energy and water, and many residents are worried:
Will electricity prices go up?
Will local water pressure increase?
Will the original farmland and residential areas turn into large server bases?
Khanna said that during his recent visit to Pennsylvania, the most common feedback he received was opposition to the rapid expansion of data centers.
His point is clear:
AI development can be supported, but ordinary communities must not be forced to bear the costs.
Currently, the proposal includes several requirements, including:
Data center construction requires local community recognition;
Enhancing energy use transparency;
Prioritize the use of clean and reliable energy;
Limit pollution emissions.
In fact, some regions have already begun to take action, with some places, including New York State, restricting or even suspending new data center construction.
This reflects a bigger issue:
The AI wave is entering a "battle for infrastructure," but behind the rapid expansion lies challenges in energy, land, and social costs.
In the past, the market focused on:
Who has the strongest AI model;
Possible future attention includes:
Who can solve the energy problem behind computing power?
AI is not just a competition of technology, but also a competition of resources.
In short:
The future of AI is not just about computing power, but also about who can make computing power truly realized.Rocket is set to be unlocked on the 6th. Earlier this week, the overall atmosphere in the commercial space sector was actually quite good. Leading mid-sized rocket company Rocket Lab directly delivered major positive news, securing two large contracts with the U.S. Space Force, totaling $663 million. These include satellite network construction orders and long-term launch mission contracts, directly locking in stable revenue for the coming year. As soon as the news broke, funds immediately entered the market to allocate positions, and individual stocks steadily rose, with weekly gains exceeding 11%, carving out an independent rally amid market volatility and sharp declines in storage stocks.
The market logic at the time was simple: the certainty of military and aerospace orders was maximized, unlike consumer flash memory, which was not affected by cyclical fluctuations. Combined with the long-term stories of satellite internet and space computing power, it was a preferred safe haven for capital. Many traders took advantage of SanDisk's short positions and combined it with long rocket stocks for hedging to balance sector volatility risk.
But the industry leader SpaceX directly poured cold water on the entire aerospace theme. On August 4, intraday trading remained relatively stable, and the market had hoped the first IPO earnings report would fully stabilize valuations. The paper data in the financial report was actually very strong: revenue nearly doubled year-on-year, profit growth approached 200%, and Starlink's profitability continued to improve.
But the capital market never looks at past results. The company revealed it will invest huge amounts in space AI computing power and Starship R&D, meaning it will be difficult to realize profits in the short term. Funds instantly lost patience, and the stock price plunged more than 7 points after hours, with all gains during the day being given back.
The negative news didn't end there; soon after, the market began to ferment with massive unlocking events. On August 6, over 900 million original shares were unlocked, and early investors had extremely low holding costs, with concentrated sell-offs occurring at any time. After panic spread, SpaceX's largest intraday drop exceeded 10%, its post-listing high was cut in half, and its trillion-yuan market value vanished, dragging down a wave of small and mid-sized aerospace concept stocks to surge.Many media outlets are spreading the rumors that "Duan Yongping has drastically reduced his stake in Pop Mart, dropping from 7.65% to 5.55%," claiming that Duan Yongping is about to surrender and admit he made a mistake in investing in Pop Mart. Is that really true?
In fact, this is a classic case of "a news blunder caused by ignorance of options."
This statement feels like a book to those who have never traded options. Let me translate it in the simplest language:
According to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the major shareholder's declared position (long position) includes not only the stock you actually buy (the underlying stock) but also the option you go long on that stock.
When Duan Yongping bought Pop Mart before, he didn't use direct buying on the secondary market, but rather his favorite trick—selling put options.
The essence of Sell Put is to open an insurance company. Duan Yongping then told the market, "I promise to buy Pop Mart at a price of 145 yuan someday in the future." As the price for my promise, you must first pay me a royalty (premium). "
If on the expiration date, Pop Mart's stock price is above 145 yuan (for example, rising to 160 yuan), others definitely won't want to sell it at 145. At this point, Duan Yongping's promise was voided, the options expired, and he made the premium for free, but he didn't buy the real stock.
But in the HKEX system, once the option expires, the declared "long position" number automatically decreases. This is what the media calls a "significant share reduction."
But in reality? The actual Pop Mart shares he holds (bought with real money) have been sold for less than 0.1%. And he just said a few days ago that Pop Mart will most likely hold for more than ten years.
What does this matter reveal?
First, never read secondhand news for stock trading. Most likely, the media editor has never even opened an options account and can't tell the difference between "long position reduction" and "selling the underlying stock."
Second, for a big shot like Duan Yongping, the cost and margin for error to build positions are much lower than for retail investors. They can use Sell Puts to earn interest while waiting for low prices, allowing you to rush in and buy the underlying stock. That's why "copying homework" often fails to capture the essence.#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added
SanDisk's financial report far exceeded expectations, so why did its stock price plunge? The market is not really trading performance
SanDisk's financial report this time would be considered impressive at any time
Quarterly revenue approached $9 billion, a significant year-on-year increase; Earnings per share exceeded $39, far exceeding market expectations; Gross margin has surpassed 84%, with profitability nearly reaching a historic high. Data center business continues to be the largest engine, with revenue growing several times and enterprise-level AI demand remaining strong; The company also successfully turned profitable for the full year, with cash flow continuously improving. At the same time, the company announced an additional $14 billion share repurchase authorization, further injecting management confidence into the market
According to traditional logic, such a performance should correspond to a major surge
However, the reality is completely the opposite
After the earnings report was released, SanDisk's stock price fell about 8% in after-hours trading, and sentiment across the entire storage sector cooled rapidly. Related companies such as Western Digital and SK Hynix were also dragged down
What truly disappointed the market was not the newly announced results, but the future
The company has provided revenue guidance for the next quarter of $10.3 billion to $10.8 billion. While growth is still maintained, the median is slightly below Wall Street's previous upward expectations. At the same time, gross margins have begun to show signs of peaking and have not continued to reach new highs. With the market already pushing AI rally to its limit, any signal that falls short of expectations will be infinitely amplified by capital
Ultimately, the stock price has long priced in optimistic expectations for the coming years
When valuation is based on the principle that "surprises must be created every quarter," even if the company delivers excellent results, as long as it is not better than the market imagines, it is enough to justify capital realizing profits
Many investors on the X platform have expressed similar views. Some believe the market is trading expectations rather than earnings, and earnings are delivered as a result; Some joke that nowadays the capital market only accepts "continuously exceeding expectations," and even a slight slowdown in growth will be sold off
Additionally, some investors are concerned about the company's business structure
Currently, enterprise-level AI remains the main source of growth, while consumer-grade storage demand has limited recovery. If the industry's price upward cycle gradually ends and corporate business growth returns to normal, overall profitability may struggle to maintain the current high level, which is also a key reason why some funds choose to exit early
From a technical perspective, some traders have begun to focus on key support near 1200. If this level is later broken, it is possible the market will further seek a lower valuation range, which could lead to genuine value capital intervention
However, in the long run, the company's fundamentals have not fundamentally changed
Long-term supply agreements lock in demand for years to come, enterprise customers continue to expand, AI inference and data center construction continue to drive growth in the high-performance storage market, and the company's pricing power and profitability remain competitive
But now, the market's focus is no longer on "whether the company is good," but on "whether it can outperform already high expectations."
When expectations are too high, even the best financial reports can become positive outcomes; Only when emotions are fully released and valuations return to reasonable ranges will long-term investment value become apparent again
At this stage, rather than rushing to bottom-fish, it is better to patiently wait for the market to complete its emotional correction. When valuations and expectations rematch, those companies that can truly benefit from the AI storage wave may see more worthwhile opportunities
$SNDK A quick news flash, those who understand will get it. Changxin Storage directly rejected Apple's price reduction request, quoting prices in line with Samsung and Hynix — this is more worth pondering than the price increase itself. In the past, the terminal giant (Apple) called the shots, and suppliers could only be squeezed on price; now the storage manufacturer dares to say "no" to Apple, indicating that pricing power is shifting from buyers to sellers. Coupled with memory shortages expected until 2027 and production capacity sold out in advance, this is a solid supply-side narrative. The spillover logic to the crypto world is: the market is re-pricing "hard assets with real supply and demand support," while assets like $BTC , driven purely by narrative, are being neglected in the short term. Let's watch and see if this wave of money eventually flows back into crypto. SanDisk took a complete rollercoaster ride this week, with both longs and shorts getting chopped back and forth.
Those playing SanDisk this week probably had their nerves ground down; the first half looked like it was about to hit bottom and take off, but after the earnings report came out, it flipped and plunged, dragging SK Hynix along for a one-day dramatic reversal, causing the entire storage sector sentiment to swing wildly.
Recently, SanDisk’s price halved from its high and hovered around 1200 for a long time, with the bearish pressure mostly released. At the start of this week, SK Hynix suddenly surged violently, rising more than five points in a single day, and the entire Korean semiconductor sector warmed up across the board. Plus, SanDisk just announced a collaboration with Hynix and Google to launch a new AI flash memory product, which made the market suddenly confident that the storage cycle recovery was solid.
With the US dollar weakening slightly and multinational tech companies benefiting from currency exchange profits, short-term funds rushed in to bottom-fish, pushing SanDisk up more than 10 points in a single day, with the price directly touching above 1400. At that time, the community was full of bullish voices, all betting on explosive earnings and another main upward wave riding the industry boom.
Everyone was waiting for the earnings report to confirm the upward trend, but reality poured cold water on the bulls. The earnings data itself was actually very good, with revenue and profits soaring, and the company even allocated billions for stock buybacks—solid positive news. But the capital market never focuses on results already achieved; it cares more about future expectations.
The company’s guidance for the next quarter was less optimistic than institutions expected, and this small flaw triggered profit-taking on the good news. After-hours, the stock price plunged straight down, with short-term funds who chased the highs frantically taking profits and exiting, causing the storage sector to collectively collapse.
The negative sentiment spread directly to Korea when the Asia-Pacific market opened; SK Hynix, which had surged the day before, plunged more than 10%, giving back all its gains in one day. Samsung followed with a big drop, and the Korean market was dragged down by the semiconductor heavyweight, with foreign investors frantically selling chip stocks, creating a vicious cycle of US stock sell-offs and follow-downs in Japan and Korea.
Looking back at this week’s market, it’s clear SanDisk had no independent movement and completely followed SK Hynix’s market and expectations. The stock price had already multiplied several times in the first half of the year, fully pricing in the AI storage benefits in advance. As long as earnings growth can’t continue to exceed expectations, even a slight flaw will trigger a stampede of selling.
Currently, spot flash memory prices remain firm, and AI server storage demand genuinely exists, so the long-term fundamentals have not collapsed. But the short-term speculative atmosphere is already shattered. Relying on the sentiment of the Japan-Korea sector for short-term speculation is too risky; earnings guidance and spot prices are the key factors determining future trends.
In the short term, under the pressure of negative news, it will most likely enter a phase of choppy bottoming. To rebound strongly again, new industry positives or large order news must stimulate it; a pure sentiment rebound is hard to sustain. SpaceX stock flow: The key variable behind the superficial adjustment is the gap between the unloading schedule and the actual price. While the market interprets the drop from 130 to 110 as a technical correction, is the price already reflecting the August unloading volume? $SPCX is retesting the 110 resistance level. Based on the original text, it fell from 130 to 110, and clear break-even points have formed across each segment. The key variable is the first unwinding of circulating shares starting tomorrow and the schedule for additional releases on August 6. This is not just a simple positive event, but a structural change where actual soldable shares flow into the market. - Current price: Testing the 110 resistance level, about 15% down from 130 - Release schedule: First circulation starts tomorrow, large-scale additional unwinding planned for August 6 - Position characteristics: Average loss of about 20% for buying above 130, weakening short-term recovery expectations - Market perception: Demand expecting a rebound after correction shifted to a wait-and-see shift After confirming the release schedule. The essence of this decline is more about technical correction than technical adjustment.Undoubtedly, gold breaking through the $4,200 historical peak while Bitcoin failed to follow the rally clearly signals a fundamental rift in the global capital definition of "safe-haven assets." Below is a quantitative breakdown and market outlook for this divergence.
---
1. Why Was BTC Absent from the Golden Feast? (Three Major Certainty Factors)
1. Asset attributes have completely shifted: from "digital gold" to "technology leverage"
Market evidence for 2026 shows that BTC's 90-day correlation with the Nasdaq 100 and leading AI hardware (such as $SNDK) has reached 0.85, while its correlation with gold drops to just 0.12. When gold surged to $4,200 due to geopolitical sovereign risks, the market was accompanied by expectations of liquidity tightening. In this environment, BTC, as a high-beta risk asset, is prioritized by institutions as a "margin ATM" rather than a safe haven—this historical pattern has been broken.
2. The momentum of central bank buying and ETF inflows is misaligned
The core driving force pushing gold above 4200 is the physical demand for de-dollarized reserves by global central banks (especially in countries in the South), a buying opportunity that is both exclusive and sustainable. In contrast, the incremental capital from BTC ETFs is entirely dependent on the risk appetite of Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Today, the technology sector ($SNDK, etc.) saw large portfolio restructuring, directly draining liquidity from the tech sector, so BTC naturally lost its upward momentum.
3. Dual suppression of real interest rates and recession transactions
Gold is priced at $4,200 in a "deep recession" or "hyperinflation" scenario—capital flowing into physical assets without sovereign risk. BTC's valuation depends on network expansion and leverage cycles; when recession expectations rise, the market classifies it as an "overvalued experimental project," making active net capital outflows inevitable.
---
2. The deterministic impact brought by divergence
· The "digital gold" narrative is staging collapse: BTC will lose its sole right to hedge against inflation in the short term, forcing macro funds to reduce their BTC positions and instead increase holdings in physical gold or PAXG and other gold tokens, intensifying BTC selling pressure.
· Internal crypto funds are accelerating into the RWA sector: the strength of gold will directly push up the premium of on-chain gold tokens ($PAXG, $XAUT), with funds withdrawing from pure air coins and concentrating on real asset protocols backed by physical assets.
· BTC's new anchor targets AI computing power valuation: Since it can no longer follow gold, BTC's future trend will closely monitor tech stocks like $NVDA and $SNDK. Only when the AI hardware sector stabilizes and rebounds can BTC gain support from a "tech premium" rather than a "safe-haven premium."
---
3. Key Future Nodes and Strategies
Core observation period:
· Gold: If the $4,200 level holds steady and the 10-year Treasury yield declines, while BTC remains unmoved, it would be a complete confirmation that BTC has been removed from the safe-haven asset list.
· BTC: Focus on the $58,500-$62,000 chip concentration zone. If it effectively breaks below 58,000, it would mean funds are fully shifting toward gold, opening medium-term downside risk.
Practical Strategy:
· Bulls: Abandon all illusions of "BTC catch-up gold" and strictly follow the trends of tech stocks like $SNDK as the guiding principle—only when liquidity in the tech sector returns can BTC restart its upward momentum.
· Arbitrage: Going long with $PAXG (gold token) and shorting $BTC paired trades is a high institutional win rate strategy in the current environment on August 6, which can be executed decisively.
---
The conclusion is undeniable: gold's return to 4200 is a victory for old-world defensive logic, while BTC's stagflation is precisely the growing pain new technology infrastructure must endure during liquidity contractions. At this moment, blind bottom-fishing is absolutely unacceptable; the only correct choice is to wait for clear signs of a halt in the US AI hardware sector.Bitcoin has been repeatedly tugging around the $64,000 level, a trend that has indeed made many holders anxious. Data from a certain institution shows that although long-term holders have migrated their shares, less than one-tenth actually flow into exchanges, indicating that the market has not experienced panic flight. On-chain chip cleanups are underway, but there is still about 30% room to the final bottom structure of historical bear markets, meaning the shakeout is not yet fully finished. US spot ETFs saw a net outflow of about 65,800 $BTC in June, marking the worst monthly record, and the buying power from corporate reserves clearly cannot fully cover this funding gap. With insufficient incremental capital, even if selling power gradually weakens, there is still a lack of fuel to quickly start the market. The volatility compression in the options market is quite noteworthy. Bullish implied volatility has slipped to a historic low of around 23%. Traders are neither betting on a surge nor frantically hedged the plunge. This extreme calm often brews a shift, but without demand-side support, the engine for an upward breakout won't ignite. Currently, the market is still stuck in the $64,000 central range. If volume increases and it holds above $65,000, it could extend toward $67,000 to $68,000. Conversely, if it falls below the $62,000–$63,000 cluster, the probability of pullback to $60,000 increases significantly. ETF capital flows, trading volume changes, and key price gains and losses are the core criteria for judging a true trend reversal, and none of these have given clear answers yet.#意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%, increasing staked ETH Italy's largest bank is answering a key question with its positions: institutional-level crypto allocation has shifted from "whether to buy" to "how to buy more cost-effectively."
United Bank of São Paulo's Q2 13F filing was released last night, with a clear adjustment: IBIT common shares were cut 93.7%, from 646,800 shares to 40,700 shares; corresponding call option shares shrank from 2.5 million shares to 18,000 shares, a decrease of 99.3%, while 500,000 new put options were issued.
Meanwhile, staked Ethereum ETFs (ETHB) tripled from 116,200 shares to 349,600 shares. Bitwise's Solana staking ETF was almost completely liquidated, dropping from 2,817 shares to 7 shares.
But that doesn't mean it's withdrawing from Bitcoin. ARKB still holds 3.47 million shares, valued at $67.6 million, making it its largest crypto ETF position. The XRP Trust remained unchanged, and a small position was opened in the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust.
Rather than "fleeing Bitcoin," it's more about "redistributing"—reducing IBIT holdings and holding a cheaper Bitcoin exposure.
Three details worth digging into:
First, staking yields have become the core driving force. Bitcoin ETFs only have price exposure, while ETHB can benefit from both price gains and staking yields. Against the backdrop of falling eurozone interest rates and narrowing bank spreads, this yield gap is enough for institutions to take action.
Second, put options do not directly equate to a short signal. The 13F filing does not disclose the full option structure or short exposure; the 500,000 put options may be part of a collar strategy or part of a higher volatility trade. It cannot be simply interpreted as "bearish."
Third, the position at the end of June may have already changed. 13F can be submitted up to 45 days after the quarter ends, when Bitcoin hovered below $30,000; now it has stood above $60,000, indicating a significant adjustment in positions.
The real signal of this rebalancing is: when a bank managing trillions in assets starts to calculate the balance between "holding coins for interest" and "pure price fluctuations," it indicates that institutional crypto allocation is shifting from "whether to allocate or not" to "how to allocate more cost-effectively."

Overall market analysis of altcoins
Why is there no upward sentiment among knockoffs?
Are you still holding onto the knockoff you have right now?
As an experienced insider, I feel the biggest change in the market is that this round is no longer a broad-sweeping old knockoff season, but a structurally differentiated market. Most small coins struggle to catch the big rally, and only a few narrative tracks will see a strong pulse.
1. The underlying operating patterns of altcoins
1. Completely dependent on the market, with no independent major bull market
Capital order: BTC → ETH → mid-to-large cap altcoins → small-cap thematic coins (such as LPT) → Meme coins.
- Only after BTC stabilizes and ETH outperforms BTC will funds spill over to altcoins;
- Once BTC turns downward, altcoins will fall much more than mainstream coins, with small-cap coins experiencing the most aggressive declines;
- Currently, BTC dominates with a 56% share, not yet ready for a large-scale off-market boom (usually falling below 55%).
2. This is now a stock game market
Most institutional funds allocate BTC and ETH through ETFs, with very few flowing into small altcoins; The rise of knockoffs relies on the rotation of existing funds, with fast and poor persistence, and good news often materializes and declines.
3. Intensified polarization among cryptocurrencies
✅ Funds can be obtained: Mid-cap coins with real business revenue, healthy token models, and strong track narratives.
❌ Continued pressure: High inflation, lack of real-time investment, concentrated shares by major players, and small-cap coins with only stories but no revenue (such as DePIN like LPT). Even if they rebound, they are mostly short-term speculation and rarely achieve a long-term trend.
2. Three scenario simulations
Scenario 1: Optimistic scenario (local small market trends in knockoffs)
Trigger conditions: BTC holds above 65,000, ETH continues to strengthen, BTC market share falls, and incremental funds enter the market slightly.
- Performance: Not all altcoins have seen a broad rise; sector rotation is speculating. RWA, DePIN, AI+Blockchain take turns pulsing;
- Characteristics of small-cap coins: Short-term surge, but the upward cycle is short, and after the rise, it quickly pulls back;
- DePINs like LPT: Will rebound with the sector, but limited rebound due to token inflation and weak commercialization.
Key point: Even if optimistic, it's still structural, and many altcoins still underperform the market.
Scenario 2: Neutral oscillation scenario (currently most likely)
BTC is maintaining a range-of-box oscillation between 63,000 and 65,000, with no major one-way trend.
- Overall Shanzhai: Rapid sector rotation, mostly one-day travel trends. DePIN rises today, RWA rises tomorrow, and switches to AI the day after;
- Small-cap alts: After one rebound, it pulls back, making it hard to achieve consecutive weekly gains;
- Trading characteristics: Numerous false breakouts in the oscillating market, poor liquidity, and frequent insertion of needles.
Scenario 3: Pessimistic scenario (Collective pressure on the mountain village)
Trigger conditions: BTC effectively breaks below the 63,000 support level, macro data deteriorates, regulatory concerns are bearish.
- Funds hedging, selling order: Meme coins → small-cap altcoins (such as LPT) → mid-cap coins →ETH→BTC;
- Small-cap altcoins will fall far more than BTC, with many coins hitting new lows;
- DePIN and RWA derivatives both saw significant corrections.
Currently, Xiaoshanzhai
1. DePIN（LPT）
The narrative in the track remains, but the project's commercial revenue is insufficient, and the token continues to inflation.
Only when the market speculates on AI computing power themes does there be a short-term pulse; When the market weakens, the decline is greater than that of mainstream coins, making it difficult to break out of an independent rally.
（SPCX、SNDK）
Market trends are tied to US stocks, not purely crypto logic.
Advantages: Realistic asset narrative; Risks: There is a premium, discount, and competitor risk. It is heavily impacted by US earnings reports and unlocking announcements, not a traditional altcoin, but its volatility is as intense as small-cap coins.
4. Key signals to observe the altcoin market
1. BTC Dominant Proportion (BTC.D): Only when it falls below 55% does it indicate that funds are starting to flow into the altcoin sector;
2. ETH/BTC Exchange Rate: ETH continues to outperform BTC, signaling the start of a counterfeit market;
3. Trading volume: Altcoins must rise on volume; those with no volume usually attract bullish rebounds;
4. Sector effect: A single coin rising is ineffective; it requires collective movement across the entire sector for sustained momentum.
Only personal opinion analysis: Manage positions well

Let's all move forward steadily and work hard together Brothers, RESOLV rose 8.17% today, currently priced at $0.01876, rebounding about 30% from the historical low of $0.01427. Behind this bullish candle is the near completion of debt repayment and the newly launched RWA business line. What is RESOLV? RESOLV is the native token of the Resolv protocol. The old product USR is an ETH/BTC over-collateralized interest-bearing stablecoin, earning staking yields and funding rates through a Delta-neutral strategy; the RLP risk pool acts as an insurance layer, bearing protocol risk in exchange for higher returns. The project’s peak TVL exceeded $500 million, securing institutional investments from Coinbase Ventures and Arrington Capital. The scars left by the March attack On 2026-03-22, attackers breached AWS KMS infrastructure and minted 80 million uncollateralized USR with only about 200,000 USDC, exchanging for approximately $25 million ETH to escape. The protocol was immediately paused, and USR sharply de-pegged. TVL plummeted from $500 million to less than $14.7 million, a maximum drawdown of 97%. RESOLV fell from its ATH of $0.4108 to a low of $0.01427, a drop of over 95%. The protocol still has a debt gap of about $78 million, and the stolen 25 million ETH has not been recovered to date. RecoThe total stablecoin market capitalization has dropped to $300.38 billion from an all-time high (ATH) of $322 billion—a decline of 6.8%.
In the previous cycle, the total stablecoin market capitalization fell by 32%, dropping from $185 billion to $124 billion.
Could the stablecoin market cap see such a significant decline this time around? I don't think so; stablecoin adoption has made massive strides since 2023.
The current BTC price is lower than it was when the total stablecoin market capitalization stood at $185 billion.
P.S. DefiLlama shows a 30-day decline of 1.16%. Around this time in July 2023, the stablecoin market capitalization was $311 billion. The figures don't align; either the current market cap should be above $300 billion, or the rate of decline should be greater than 1.16%.
$BTC $ETH $SOL
#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck Oil prices have already priced in the "agreement nearing completion," but BTC remains stuck below $65,000.
Iran and Oman are finalizing a temporary navigation arrangement for the Strait of Hormuz. The discussed plan includes dividing inbound and outbound shipping lanes, with both parties participating in management. The agreement has not yet been officially completed, and Iran has listed the lifting of the U.S. blockade on its ports as one of the conditions.
The market has already preemptively reduced the geopolitical risk premium.
Brent crude is currently around $79.5, and WTI is about $75.3. In the previous trading day, both fell by 5.3% and 5.7%, respectively. The return of oil prices near $80 does not directly impact the crypto space by making "energy cheaper," but rather by simultaneously easing inflationary pressures and reducing the necessity for the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates.
The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield briefly touched around 4.75% this Monday but has since fallen back to about 4.61%, a drop of approximately 14 basis points; the dollar index has also returned to near 99.8. With yields and the dollar cooling off simultaneously, this should theoretically provide a more accommodative valuation environment for BTC.
BTC has indeed attracted capital inflows, but the price reaction remains restrained.
As of 18:18 Beijing time, BTC is around $64,540, with an intraday range of $63,887 to $64,931, less than 1% away from $65,000.
The U.S. spot BTC ETFs have seen net inflows of $170.1 million, $211.5 million, and $244.4 million over the last three trading days, totaling $626 million. At current prices, this equates to about 9,700 BTC, close to 21.5 days of new mining production.
Despite such significant capital inflows, BTC has not made a clear breakout, indicating that selling pressure during the same period is also strong. ETF inflows are currently supporting the price rather than directly triggering a new round of unilateral rally.
The reason is that the navigation agreement primarily improves expectations first; actual supply has not yet resumed. Oil exports from the Gulf region remain about 40% below pre-conflict levels. As long as actual shipping, insurance, and export volumes have not returned to normal, oil prices could reintroduce risk premiums at any negative news.
This also explains why BTC did not immediately take off following the oil price drop. The market is still waiting for the agreement to be signed, actual export recovery, and further confirmation of the interest rate path from U.S. employment data.
Going forward, three numbers can be watched for simultaneous occurrence: Brent consistently stabilizing below $80, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling below 4.6%, and BTC breaking above $65,000 amid continued ETF inflows.
The first two indicate improvements in the macro environment, while the third shows that new capital finally outweighs spot selling pressure.
#伊朗阿曼临时通航协议近落地 $SNDK Brothers, I woke up to find SanDisk plunging 12%. The pre-market article just said "expectations hit the ceiling with no room for error," and it turned out to be a prophecy. The earnings report didn't beat expectations, funds crashed directly, the storage sector collectively flopped, and Western Digital also plunged 12%. But interestingly, in the panic, smart money was quietly picking up chips. Is this hourly price movement a gold trap or a deadly trap? Let's talk a bit.
On the news front, the trigger was earnings guidance falling short of expectations, causing funds to panic and flee. But note, the stock price had already dropped 12.33% before the earnings report, meaning most of the negative news had been priced in. This kind of move is nothing new; if expectations are too high, a surge is triggered first, and waiting for negative news to materialize might actually be less scary. In the short term, oversold is obvious, and bearish sentiment is nearing its peak.
From a technical perspective, looking at the one-hour chart, the MA7 is near 1240 and the MA30 crosses at 1346, indicating short-term bearish alignment. Although the MACD still holds positive at 10.19, after a high death cross between DIF and DEA, it opened downward, showing a rebound with shrinking volume, indicating weak bullish willingness to counterattack. Strong support below is the chip-dense zone between 1200 and 1230, with the first resistance above at the 1300 round number.
Looking at the data, total holdings are 186 million USD, with a long-short ratio slightly higher than 61.37%, which is quite subtle. Among the profitable investors, 489 accounted for 77.91%, with an average opening price of 1329.4 USD. Currently, the unrealized profit is 8.6 million USD. These people are not retail investors, but winners of following the trend. The 576 losing investors have an average cost of 1268.97 USD, totaling only 1.81 million USD, indicating that the cutting losses have not yet been cleared, and there is still short-term selling pressure to digest.
My personal view: The news is negative, but smart money is more bullish and bearish than net money, indicating big money is accumulating shares through panic. However, poor earnings guidance is a major weakness, and short-term volatility is inevitable. At this level, I prefer mostly low bullish positions, but I will definitely not chase the rally. Wait until the pullback reaches the 1200-1230 support zone before considering it, no rush to act. I still hold long positions in options on Bitcoin and Ethereum. For this kind of individual stock gamble, I'll watch the show for now and wait until the gold pit is fully dug. #闪迪财报双超预期, $14 billion new buyback authorization #SanDisk's earnings both beat expectations, adding $14 billion buyback authorization #ADP就业降温, Fed policy divergence #黄金重返4200美元. Why hasn't BTC followed the rise? [BTC US Pre-Market Update] Nonfarm Payroll Countdown: Checklist + Three Playlists
1. What Happened in the Afternoon (Correction of the Morning Post)
Indicator: Early post prediction actual (as of 18:00–20:00 UTC) judgment
BTC price held steady at $64,530–64,887, up about 0.7–1.2 ✅% over the day
65,000 resistance Success depends on daily close. Asian session surged to 68,044, closing around 66,627, with sell orders at 65,500 ⚠️ and not holding above the 65,000 daily moving average
ETF sentiment: +330 million over two days, +244 million again on 8/5 (third consecutive day), IBIT alone with 197 million ✅, slightly bullish
To correct an early post: the Asian trading rally was not as simple as a "false breakout." Within 4 hours, 142 million short positions were liquidated (price pushed from 64,200 to 67,100), which was short covering + long chase resonance, with volume 22% above the 30-day average, not considered low volume. However, the daily closing price remains stuck at 65,000, so the "non-one-sided" qualification remains unchanged.
2. Checklist for the first 4 hours of non-farm payrolls (for reference and collection)
From 8/6 20:30 to 8/7 20:30 Beijing time, watch these 6 items:
• [ ] BTC stabilized above 65,000 on the daily chart (currently the first hurdle; if it doesn't hold, don't talk about a reversal)
• [ ] Coinbase premium remains positive (currently +0.015%, a key signal that US institutions are buying the buy)
• [ ] 65,500 Sell Order Wall Got Eaten (Only if it breaks does it count as a real breakthrough)
• [ ] Can the panic and greed index escape the 25–27 extreme fear zone (currently still 25–27, prices rising but sentiment not recovering)
• [ ] Nonfarm payroll reading: New jobs + unemployment rate + hourly wages (core, see the three tiers below)
• [ ] CME rate hike probability changes (currently a 25bp rate hike in September is about 54–58%, will be repriced after data)
------
3. The Three Non-Farm Scripts (Prepare in advance to avoid getting carried away)
Announced at 20:30 Beijing time on 8/7, expected to add about 83,000–90,000 people, with an unemployment rate of 4.2→4.3%
• 🟢 Dove Surprise (New). < 70,000 + rising unemployment rate) → about 30% probability of cooling rate hike expectations, falling US dollar Treasury yields → BTC is highly likely to surge to 67,000–70,000 on volume, which is the trigger for the early post to "hold on 65,200 and move one-sided." • 🟡 Benchmark implementation (new $8–100,000, unemployment 4.3%) → about 45% chance of meeting expectations, no major volatility → BTC continues to grind at $64,000–65,000, waiting for the next CPI, the most discouraging. • 🔴 Hawkish surprise (new > 10 Million + hourly wage >0.3%)→ probability about 25%
Strengthening the September rate hike → US dollar strengthens and risk assets come under pressure→ BTC pulls back to 63,800→62,100 (50-day moving average).
------
4. A Hidden Thread That Has Been Overlooked (Discussion Topic in the Comment Section)
• The whale is not smashing. The 16,400 BTC (1.04 billion) transaction on 8/3 was a cold wallet migration, not listed on exchanges, and is considered an institutional custodian transfer, which is relatively high.
• However, Binance's whale inflow ratio soared to 0.52 (a high in April), with a net deposit of 14,000 BTC on the 5th. The East (Binance/OKX) was giving out coins, while the West (Coinbase) was accumulating, causing capital rifts between East and West—this kind of split often started with intense volatility before choosing direction.
------
My current stance: don't bet on direction before the non-farm payrolls. 65,000 is the watershed — hold firmly above and be bullish; if it returns to 64,000 below, just wait for the data. Tonight at 20:30, I'll post a '5-minute nonfarm farm landing verification post' to directly compare the three scripts above to determine the winner.
Comments on the non-farm payroll reading:
A. Added < 70,000 (Pigeon, I charge) B. 8–100,000 (horizontally, I don't move) C. > 100,000 (Eagle, I subtract)

⚠️ Disclaimer: The above is a public data summary for 8/6 on the market, on-chain/ETF/macro data and personal structure observation, not investment advice; Nonfarm payrolls are highly volatile events, and leverage can easily cause liquidations. Please be cautious!#意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%, increased staked ETH
Breaking news: Italy's largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, released its Q2 13F filing last night, with some impressive moves—IBIT common shares were cut 93.7%, from 646,800 shares straight to 40,700 shares. The options side was even more aggressive, shrinking the corresponding call option shares from 2.5 million to 18,000 shares, a 99.3% cut, and simultaneously opened a new 500,000 put option.
On the other side, the staking Ethereum ETF (ETHB) increased from 116,200 shares to 349,600 shares, more than tripling. Bitwise's Solana staking ETF was basically cleared out, dropping from 2,817 shares to just 7 shares.
But that doesn't mean it stops watching Bitcoin. ARKB still holds 3.47 million shares, worth $67.6 million, making it its largest crypto ETF position. The XRP Trust hasn't moved, and it even opened a small position in the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust. Rather than "fleeing Bitcoin," it's more like "reallocating"—reducing IBIT holdings while swapping for a cheaper Bitcoin exposure to keep it.
Several points are worth pondering.
First, staking returns are the core driver. Bitcoin ETFs can only profit from price fluctuations, while ETHB can profit from price increases while earning staking returns. In an environment where eurozone interest rates are falling and bank interest spreads are narrowing, this yield spread is indeed attractive.
Second, putting options do not mean you are short on Bitcoin. The 13F file does not disclose short exposure or the full option structure. A 500,000-share put option may be part of a collar strategy or part of a larger volatility trade. It cannot be simply understood as "short."
Third, the position at the end of June may have already changed. 13F can be submitted within up to 45 days after the quarter ends. At that time, Bitcoin hovered below $30,000 for a long time, and now it's over $60,000, so the position may have been adjusted long ago.
The greater significance of this is that traditional financial institutions are answering the question of "Bitcoin or Ethereum" with their actions. It's not a choice between the two, but a refined allocation among different products. When a bank managing trillions in assets starts calculating the balance between "holding coins for interest" and "pure price fluctuations," it shows that institutional-level crypto allocation is shifting from "whether to buy" to "how to buy more cost-effectively." $BTC $ETH A consultant he had known for five years arranged a completely fake financing for him
Today, Dow Protocol issued a statement recounting the events they have encountered recently. They claimed that the rumor circulating in the market that OKX Ventures was investing in them was not true. This week, the list of investors they plan to announce does not include this institution at all.
Even more outrageous is at the end. According to the team itself, the starting point was a financial advisor they had known for five years. Five years is almost enough to watch a full bull and bear cycle in this industry. This person created a fake group chat and arranged for someone to come in to pose as members of the OKX Ventures team.
Next comes the entire process. The fake due diligence was completed step by step, the questions that needed to be asked, and the materials that needed to be provided were provided. Forged investment agreements were signed. Then, under the pretext of this investment, a financial advisory fee is charged to the project team.
If you put yourself in the project team's shoes and retraced this process, you'd find that each step looks quite normal when viewed individually. The introducer is an acquaintance, with five years of acquaintance; The group chat is filled with the other team's team; Due diligence is precise and methodical; The agreement is written in black and white. The most ruthless part of this kind of game isn't how realistic the forgery is, but that it completely replaces all the anchor points you can verify at once.
In fact, such incidents have not been uncommon in recent years. What project teams lack most is money and endorsement. The top institution's name is both money and endorsement; once listed, valuation, negotiations, and community sentiment all change accordingly. So there are people specifically targeting this area, and the impersonators are often the few most influential institutions.
Speaking of the verification process, it's actually not complicated at all. Institutions generally have public channels for external investments: official websites, official accounts, public announcements—any one of them can match. If you were more cautious, using the other party's publicly released official contact information to re-confirm would only cost a few minutes. The problem is, when the introducer is a friend you've known for five years, you might feel like you're slapping them in the face.
Dow Protocol said they have preserved relevant evidence and have taken action against those involved. At the same time, other project teams are reminded that even if the relevant personnel are introduced by long-term partners, they should independently verify their identity and investment information through official channels. This sentence may sound polite but was actually exchanged with real money.
I've always felt that the hardest thing to guard against in this industry is never technical vulnerabilities. Code can be audited, signatures can be verified, multi-signature can be added, and hardware wallets can be swapped. But there are no audit tools at the level of personal relationships. The trust built on five years of friendship is, in the process, an entry point that is almost never questioned—no one feels comfortable stepping on the brakes there.
So I want to ask you, if you were the one sitting in that group at the time, at what point would you start to feel something was off? Or maybe they never even think in that direction? #
