1. US media: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detains imported Bitmain Antminers
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has detained some shipments for two months, and detentions are "occurring across the country," including at the ports of San Francisco and Detroit. The imports involved are Bitmain's Antminer S21 and T21 series, Bitmain's latest series of ASIC miners. Reports indicate that these large-scale shipment freezes and related investigations are unprecedented for Bitcoin miners, and it is uncertain why the imports were detained. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not targeted other ASIC manufacturers such as Shenma or Canaan. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection was established in 2003 and is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Its responsibilities include regulating U.S. imports.

3. QCP: ETH implied volatility has shifted sharply toward put options rather than call options
QCP Capital said that ETH implied volatility has shifted sharply to put options rather than call options, reflecting that as the market takes a breath, BTC sentiment is similar and concerns about downside risks may increase, especially with the FOMC meeting minutes tonight and PCE data on Wednesday. However, in the long run, this is not an excessive pullback. Bitcoin has only retreated to the level at the beginning of last week. Since the election, the market has become extremely overbought and leveraged, so a pause is inevitable.

6. Bloomberg analyst: SOL, XRP and other altcoin ETFs may have to wait until the end of 2025 to be approved
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart's latest report pointed out that the approval resolution of altcoin ETFs such as SOL, XRP, LTC and HBAR may extend to the end of 2025. Unlike the approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, these altcoins lack the support of CME's regulated futures market. Although WisdomTree and 21Shares have submitted applications for XRP ETFs, current regulations still do not allow them to be listed before addressing compliance issues such as market manipulation and custody. Seyffart also said that the new SEC leadership in 2025 may be more friendly to cryptocurrencies, and ETF products may be allowed to add pledge functions at that time.
