Is Brother Sun really attending the 'Trump Meme Coin Holders Meet-up'? Isn't this just the highest-level 'bootlicking' scene in the circle? The underlying logic of the $TRUMP coin has been clear from the beginning—it's not about technology, payment, or applications; it's purely about political IP binding + social game theory. Trump's three main objectives for issuing coins 1. Using Meme coins to 'siphon funds' and test the waters, monetizing IP influence Trump's image and stance naturally attract topics, especially with a certain grassroots base in the Crypto circle. Once the coin goes live, there will be people willing to 'top up for their beliefs'—this means he can attract a large amount of real money without bearing political risks.
The "big pie" of stablecoins, the "compliance" game of new players, is there naked hegemony behind it?
Stablecoins, this tempting financial pie, are attracting more and more players. Recently, new faces like xUSD have emerged, claiming to be "compliant, secure, and transparent", as if they are the saviors of the digital finance world. But don’t be blinded by this layer of "compliance"; fundamentally, this is just a continuation of financial hegemony. Compliance? Just new wine in old bottles! From USDT to USDC to xUSD, the core logic of all stablecoins is the same: they claim to be pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, regulated by "trusted institutions", and have audits and reserve proof to ensure transparency and convertibility. But the question arises—who defines "trustworthy"? Who sets the rules of the game?
The U.S. has just passed new stablecoin regulations; is Ethereum set to become the global bank? This is not simple!
Recently, the U.S. Congress made big news, passing a stablecoin bill with an 18-6 vote, directly causing an uproar in the crypto sphere! This bill claims to 'regulate the market,' but in reality, it is simply installing a blockchain engine for dollar hegemony—henceforth all stablecoin issuers must register with the government, with money needing to be deposited 1:1 in banks, and a 'blacklist switch' must be maintained to freeze accounts at any time. The USDT in your wallet is helping the U.S. buy government bonds! The toughest move of this bill is forcing stablecoin issuers to use U.S. Treasuries as reserve assets. Currently, 80% of USDT in circulation has been used to purchase U.S. Treasuries, totaling over a hundred billion dollars! This means that for the 300 million cryptocurrency users globally, as long as they have 1 USDT in their wallets, 0.8 dollars automatically turns into U.S. Treasuries. Previously, central banks of various countries were the major buyers of U.S. Treasuries, but now it directly allows retail investors around the world trading cryptocurrencies to 'take over painlessly.' This move is simply brilliant!
It's been a while since I last posted an article. Recently, everyone is saying the market has turned bearish, but I believe the real bull market has yet to come. Right now, the market correction is quite healthy. Let me recommend a well-corrected coin, Brother Sun 🈹—SUN has quietly successfully launched on HashKey! If you don't feel much about this news, let me tell you about the value behind this matter. What is HashKey? How can it influence the market?
1️⃣ Time-tested: Established in 2018, belonging to the HashKey Group, it's not just a fly-by-night operation.
2️⃣ Hong Kong's 'favorite child': The first exchange to obtain a complete regulatory license from the Hong Kong SFC, fully compliant.
Can this wave of currency operations really vote Ethereum to be delisted?
Binance recently came up with a new "decentralized" trick, announcing that it would allow users to vote on the listing and delisting of cryptocurrencies. Does it sound democratic? But don't be too happy too soon. Once you think about it, it doesn't taste right! Holding 0.01 BNB can vote? What can retail investors do?
Binance said that as long as you have 0.01 BNB, you can participate in the vote! This means that even if I have only a small amount of BNB, I can decide which coin will be listed and which coin will be abandoned? Imagine if retail investors band together, can they vote Bitcoin and Ethereum to be delisted? It's so funny, just let Binance return to the USDT exchange.
When someone makes money, someone else gets hurt! Here we go again, someone has bought Cocoro at a high price and is suffering significant losses.
According to analysis by Yujin, Cocoro experienced wild fluctuations within just 12 hours. Some made a profit through short-term trading, but others stubbornly held on against the trend, leading to a very tragic outcome. On-chain data shows that there was an 'unlucky guy' who went all-in near the peak, and not long after, he had to cut his losses and run, clearly becoming the biggest bag holder of this market movement.
Specifically, this 'brave warrior' last night invested $534,000 at an average price of $0.0836, purchasing 6.4 million Cocoro tokens. However, within less than a day, the price was halved, and he couldn’t take it anymore. Two hours ago, he painfully sold at a low price of $0.0338, incurring a single transaction loss of $317,000, evaporating a total of 59%.
This operation coincided with Cocoro's plummet from $0.085 to $0.034, showing that the market is always a zero-sum game—when some make a fortune, others suffer heavy losses; no one can expect to win continuously!
I often think of that night when I first entered university, The starry sky was so brilliant, The light from my phone screen shone on my greedy face, I couldn't wait to transfer the money to the seller, At that time, I couldn't believe, That my current self would end up losing completely. The greatest sorrow in life is never failure, But always being aware of things too late. At this point, the ones I feel most sorry for are still my family.
$Shell was listed on the contract. Is this a blessing from heaven or a trap?
Recently, $Shell was listed on the contract. As soon as this happened, the market was in an uproar. Is it a pleasant surprise or a carefully planned harvest? Let's break it down. There may be three situations behind this.
The first possibility: Binance really has no reaction?
If Binance is completely insensitive to market feedback, it means that they don't realize that their contract mechanism may bring about a cap effect (price suppression). After all, Binance's decision-making logic has always been opaque, and it is not the first time that some projects have been missed.
The second possibility: The relationship between the $Shell team is too bad?
Another possibility is that the $Shell team's exchange relationship is really not good, and it is even "unpopular" in the crypto circle. Their attitude towards Crypto is hard to describe, and they may have offended some key figures. Moreover, once the Alpha+ contract is listed, it is basically equivalent to no chance with Binance.
The third possibility: Is the team playing a big chess game?
The most dramatic guess is that the $Shell team is planning a sophisticated operation - clearing out some short-term profit-taking through contracts in preparation for subsequent listings. This strategy sounds bold, but it is not without precedent in the cryptocurrency world.
Regardless of the truth, $Shell is now like playing a game of Russian roulette. Will it explode or go down? Let's wait and see!
