After setting daily limits as account rules, on-chain wallets begin to function like financial accounts.
Ordinary bank cards can set transfer limits, but many on-chain wallets only have two states: "can sign" or "cannot sign." Once the private key is leaked, attackers can immediately move all assets. Programmable account directions like Frame transactions allow daily limits, address whitelists, and delayed execution to become rules within the account itself.
This does not turn on-chain accounts into banks but moves risk control from institutional backends to user-verifiable code. Users can set small payments to be approved instantly, large transfers to wait several hours, and send notifications to another device. Even if attackers obtain a signature, they may not be able to empty the account in one go.
The more rules there are, the easier it is to make interaction errors. Wallets must turn complex logic into clear templates and let users know how to cancel in emergencies. Otherwise, security features may become new lock-up incidents. Protocols provide capabilities; products are responsible for turning those capabilities into user-understandable operations.
If $ETH wants to carry family savings and institutional assets, it cannot rely on a single key to protect everything long-term. Once accounts have risk boundaries, self-custody moves from a geek choice to a manageable financial tool. Limiting losses is often more realistic than promising never to make mistakes.
Accounts must first learn to control losses before users have reason to entrust larger-scale assets to on-chain rules. After setting daily limits as account rules, on-chain wallets begin to function like financial accounts.

The US Bitcoin spot ETF has attracted significant capital inflows, with a single-day net inflow of $999 million, marking the highest single-day inflow since October 2025. BlackRock IBIT, ARK, and Fidelity FBTC are the main drivers of this capital entry. Institutional funds are flowing back, directly helping BTC stabilize around $87,000, and confidence in the crypto market has clearly improved.
This is a very clear signal of institutional capital warming up, no longer just a short-term rebound caused by short covering. Spot funds are genuinely entering the market, providing fundamental support for this rally. However, it is important to distinguish: a large single-day inflow reflects strong sentiment but does not equal a continuous stream of funds.
After a burst of inflows in a single day, capital inflows may slow down or even temporarily reverse. Meanwhile, leverage in the market has already increased. Once ETF funds flow out the next day, combined with disturbances from US Treasury and Federal Reserve expectations, the coin price is prone to rapid correction.
Do not blindly chase highs based on single-day data alone; continuous net inflows over multiple days are needed to confirm sustained institutional capital. In the short term, the $90,000 level remains a strong resistance point, and profit-taking should be watched for after a big rally.Google Cloud connects to Ethereum through @puffer_preconf — leading tech companies are moving directly from "off-chain cloud services" to "L2 execution gateway."
Stripe / PayPal / Google are all using the L2 gateway model to access crypto, rather than building their own L1 — this strategy of "not competing at the base layer, but focusing on the application layer" is the optimal path for tech giants to embrace crypto, far stronger than Meta's failed Diem attempt by an order of magnitude.Institutions have entered! 😱 Strategy once again... bought Bitcoin! So fierce!
This week, Sailer didn't issue new shares to raise money, but directly used cash on hand to buy 950 $BTC at an average price of 79,700, with a total holding of 846,000. The phrase "A little more orange" hints at continuing to convert cash into Bitcoin.
From a macro perspective, Bitcoin's 21 million total supply cap and the post-halving daily new mining output of 450 face continuous accumulation by US ETFs, often making the daily new mined coins insufficient to distribute. Institutions entered around 81,000, and now the coin price has returned above 86,000, with ETF buyers recovering for the first time this year. Long-term holders are reluctant to sell, making circulating "coins" increasingly scarce.
Not only Sailer, Strive bought 1,355 at about 79,500 (total holding 26,355), BitMine increased holdings by over 27,000 + ETH in a week (nearly 6 million), Boya Interactive replenished 152 BTC at 75,900. All buying across the board, the higher the coin price rises, the more aggressive they get.
Across the entire network, BTC surged to 87,000, crypto total market cap returned to 3 trillion, and Costco's Q4 earnings report is about to be released. But the Fed's rate cut expectations fluctuate, with high leverage causing frequent ZEC short squeezes and AKE flash crashes, and liquidity is thin over the weekend. Institutions are buying to support the bottom, short-term volatility remains fierce. I hold a light spot position, firmly avoid 50x leverage, set good stop losses and don't hold losing positions. Cash is king, waiting for continuous ETF net inflows and firm institutional accumulation, the last one standing wins. 🤦♂️💀
#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 At 7 AM, I reviewed SLX's candlestick chart three times😭
At 7 AM, the sky was already bright. Tonight, BTC surged straight to 87000, and the total crypto market cap returned to 3 trillion. I reviewed SLX's candlestick chart three times.
$SLX around 0.06814, up 3.21% today, the "landlord" of the semiconductor equipment circle, renting out expensive equipment like lithography machines to foundries for long-term leases, profiting from wafer fab expansions. AMD's market cap broke 1 trillion, chip stocks collectively surged, memory followed suit, and SLX moved along. This wave of AI hardware cooling combined with interest rate hike expectations hit hard; it has pulled back significantly from its high, but the long-term leases and equipment residual value in hand are real. No volume this morning, so I reviewed its candlestick chart three times, watching October equipment tenders, renewal rates holding steady, residual value stable; a drop is a buying opportunity; only breaking previous lows would indicate real damage.
$BTC around 87000, tonight it jumped directly from 86000 to 87000, hitting an 8-month high. Strategy increased holdings again; institutions are buying with real money. BTC is stable, so risk assets like SLX can confidently follow.
$ZEC around 1516, up 1.12% today, the privacy coin leader, climbing from 1150 to 1516, with 1600 in sight. A ZEC whale short position suffered a 35 million loss, shorts got squeezed.
At 7 AM, SLX at 0.068 finally moved, BTC surged to 87000, ZEC pushed to 1516 heading for 1600, I reviewed SLX's candlestick chart three times, and I'm ready to get up.On-chain data becomes increasingly clear: large funds are quietly positioning.
BTC ETH $UNI
BTC: Spot ETF single-day net inflow nearly $1 billion, setting a recent record; institutions continue to accumulate. Combined with Strategy treasury simultaneous increase, this is the core confidence for BTC to firmly hold the 87000 level and for the total market cap to return to 3 trillion.
ETH: Bitmine increased holdings by $75.29 million this week, with total holdings around 6 million coins, 85% of which are staked, accounting for nearly 5% of total network supply. Circulating supply continues to shrink; although ETFs fluctuate occasionally, "reluctance to sell + locked staking" makes the price floor very strong.
UNI: Stimulated by the SEC's innovative exemption for tokenized stocks, intraday price rose over 21%. On-chain, 3 new wallets bought 780,000 tokens and withdrew them from exchanges, showing clear intent for long-term holding.
Macroscopically, Fed rate cut expectations fluctuate repeatedly, and AI and crypto marginal integration accelerates. The conclusion is clear: institutions are grabbing BTC, whales are locking ETH, funds are positioning in UNI, and sectors are being laid out in batches rather than single speculation. However, high leverage liquidations have frequently occurred recently, and liquidity is thin over the weekend. I hold a light spot position, firmly avoid 50x leverage, and set stop losses properly without holding losing positions. Only when ETF net inflows are confirmed continuously is it a signal for heavy positions. Cash is king; the last to survive is the winner. 🤦♂️💀

#BTC冲高$87000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion #Apple, Google Hiring Stablecoin Talent, Possibly Entering Crypto Payments?
Apple and Google are recruiting stablecoin talent, signaling that tech giants are seriously exploring crypto payments?
Recruitment related to $AAPL and $GOOGL has attracted market attention, but hiring does not mean the products are already launched, nor can it be directly interpreted as the two companies about to issue their own stablecoins. What really matters is whether stablecoins can enter everyday payments, cross-border settlements, and developer services.
For $AAPL, Apple Pay has a mature payment gateway. If stablecoins are integrated in the future, the key is not adding another currency, but whether it can reduce cross-border payment costs while meeting compliance, refund, and consumer protection requirements.
$GOOGL’s potential lies in Google Pay, cloud services, and enterprise payments. If stablecoins can be embedded in merchant settlements and developer tools, their application scope may extend beyond personal transfers.
This represents potential demand for public chains like $ETH and $SOL, but tech giants may also choose bank partnerships or closed settlement systems, so recruitment news should not be directly equated with token benefits.
The next phase of stablecoin competition is not just about issuance volume, but who can make the payment experience as simple as swiping a card. The real validation signals are official products, partner institutions, and actual transaction scale.Costco's Earnings Report Hides a Secret: Bitcoin's Invisible Barometer
Don't be fooled by the "supermarket that sells rotisserie chicken." Costco's Q4 net sales reached $93.9 billion, up 11.3% year-over-year, with comparable sales up 9.4%, and excluding oil prices and exchange rates still up 6.7%—this is not just retail data, it's a health check report on U.S. consumer resilience. If membership renewal rates and profit margins continue to hold, the fantasy of inflation falling on its own will be discounted, and the Federal Reserve's confidence to raise interest rates will actually be stronger. BTC continues to face interest rate pressure in the short term; the logic is straightforward.
Another card is Micron. Its October 1 earnings guidance points to revenue of about $50 billion and a gross margin of 86%, which is brutally strong. It aims to verify whether AI storage demand has truly turned into cash flow. If it exceeds expectations again, the compute economy line will deepen further, and Bitcoin's non-sovereign narrative will be reinforced accordingly.
One looks at consumer resilience, the other at AI demand. One suppresses interest rate expectations, the other supports the compute power narrative. BTC is caught in the middle: short-term focus on interest rates, long-term focus on compute power.
Don't go all-in just because of a supermarket earnings report, but the signals it gives are more honest than many on-chain data. How much longer can U.S. consumption hold up? The answer is not in the candlestick charts, but at Costco's checkout counter. $BTC $ETH $DOGE $ZEC whale closes 38,000 short positions! Exits with a loss of over 35 million USD!
Recently, $ZEC on-chain news exploded. A well-known address spent three months shorting, ultimately suffering a huge loss of 35 million USD, and closed 38,000 short positions concentrated within 1.5 hours, violently pushing the coin price from 1490 to 1530. The market generally interprets this as a short squeeze defeat, but the details are more intriguing: the whale retained 200,000 ZEC spot holdings, which looks more like a hedge of spot holdings derivatives rather than a one-sided speculation.
From a dialectical perspective, the positive is that the market has 38,000 fewer short positions suppressing it; the hidden risk is that the subsequent rise loses the passive buying fuel from shorts being "forced to cover." Considering the overall macro network, BTC firmly holds the 80,000 level but ETH staking lock-up causes ETF flows to fluctuate, overall in a stock game. Recently, frequent ZEC short squeezes and AKE flash crashes, combined with thin weekend liquidity, make this kind of "event-driven" rally very likely to be a manipulation tool by pump-and-dump operators.
I am watching with a small position and dare not chase the high. The shorts exiting is just an event, not a guarantee of a rise. ZEC’s future still depends on overall crypto sentiment and BTC’s trend. Operationally, hold spot lightly, absolutely avoid leverage above 10x, set stop losses well, do not hold or add positions. Cash is king, survival first, don’t let the whale’s hedging act become your high-leverage grave. The last one standing wins. 🤦♂️💀

#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 Tonight's SanDisk: Bearish
Straight to the conclusion—technical resistance combined with macro pressure makes the rebound a good opportunity to reduce positions. Although included in the S&P 100 with passive buying, short-term bulls are weak.
Reason 1: The 1832 resistance is effective; the rally peaked and retreated showing weakness. RSI is approaching overbought, ADX indicates a weak trend, volume is shrinking with no incremental follow-up, the 1760-1780 range is a "no-trade zone" with very poor odds.
Reason 2: CEO is selling real shares. Goeckeler executed Form 4 on September 17, selling 33,841 shares in 15 transactions for about $53.27 million (although under a 10b5-1 plan, this is a straightforward high-level cash-out). Management cashing out at this price is more honest than indicators.
Reason 3: Sector divergence, SanDisk relatively weak. Hynix is strong on HBM, Micron is volatile, SanDisk only slightly up pre-market and underperforming. Brent crude oil has risen above $102, inflation concerns suppress risk appetite, chip stocks face valuation pressure, macro uncertainty adds up, and funds are cautious.
Tonight's focus: If 1760 breaks, look down to 1730; breaking below that points bears to 1630. Do not chase rebounds, lean bearish on rallies, keep light positions and defend. #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 $SNDK SanDisk's surge gave me goosebumps; I shorted at 1880, betting on a late-night pullback after the spike.
First, the news. Rosenblatt Securities initiated coverage on SanDisk pre-market with a Buy rating and a $2400 target. Analyst Kevin Cassidy bluntly said, "This is not your dad's SanDisk," reasoning that AI is turning NAND from a commodity into a key component of AI infrastructure. That makes sense—AI inference is indeed driving storage demand. But the catch is—this is an initiation of coverage, not an earnings beat or confirmed orders, just a rating report, and the market treated it like an IPO hype.
Looking at the market, it took only 5 minutes to move from 1760 to 1810 after open, then just 10 minutes more to jump from 1810 to 1880, with a daily range exceeding $150 and a high of 1909. It closed at 1887, up 6.82%, with $23.9 billion in volume. The entire storage sector rallied: Micron +5%, Western Digital +3.67%, Seagate +4.85%, SK Hynix +3.45%. AMD just crossed a $1 trillion market cap, so chip stocks were already hot, and Rosenblatt's report poured more fuel on the fire.
But the capital flow was off. Today's large block net inflow was -$25.64 million; the main players were exiting, and the price was propped up by small orders. This pattern is all too familiar—institutions selling high on news, retail FOMO buyers stepping in. After hours, the price dropped from 1887 to around 1880, down 0.39%.
SanDisk pumping on sentiment then dumping isn't new, but a 100-point jump in one go is excessive. I don't believe it can hold above 1900 late at night.
Betting on a spike then pullback; the short position is already in place.
---
Glancing next door—$BTC has surpassed 87000, up over 7% in 24 hours, with shorts liquidated massively; $648 million in short positions wiped out. Strategy hasn't been idle either, restarting buys after three weeks, adding 950 BTC at an average price of 79670, bringing total holdings to 846,000 BTC. Crypto market cap has returned to $3 trillion, and risk appetite is heating up.
But honestly, this $BTC rally is essentially a short squeeze, not driven by active spot buying. Whether it can hold after the short liquidation is uncertain. SanDisk's price action today resembles BTC's violent "breakout-liquidation-breakout" cycle.
$BTC $ETH $SNDK #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 #AMD市值突破1万亿美元，芯片股集体大涨 Good morning friends,
Just woke up and checked the market; $BTC is hovering around 86450 now, basically flat today. It surged from above 81000 to 87399 in the past couple of days, and now it's clearly digesting. The moving averages MA5 and MA10 are intertwined, and MA20 is close by, so there's no short-term direction. The MACD has already formed a death cross, the bars are still green, but momentum has clearly weakened. Volume has also shrunk; the surge was accompanied by high volume, followed by low-volume sideways trading. The 24-hour high and low are roughly 86731 to 85111, with little fluctuation. There's also news above: the US Treasury sanctioned Iran's BitBank, accusing it of helping transfer hundreds of millions of dollars in Bitcoin. Such regulatory news will cause some noise in the short term but generally has limited impact on the overall trend.
In the short term, it's grinding between 85000 and 87000; to go up, volume needs to pick up again above 87400 to have a chance, and breaking below 85100 might lead to another dip. It has risen 14% in 7 days, which is decent mid-term, but this 1-hour consolidation isn't over yet, so don't rush to chase. Just watch for now. 🚨 $BTC surged to $87,000, but the real warning isn't the rise—it's that negative news no longer impacts the price.
$BTC once touched $87,399, and $ETH also climbed back above $2,800.
After such a long grind, the market has finally reached a new phase high.
Even more astonishing, in the past 24 hours, shorts liquidated about $750 million, the greed index hit 78, and even the "always bullish" experts have started calling for $150K 😂
But I think the most important thing to watch now isn't how much it has risen.
It's—why, despite so much negative news, BTC doesn't fall?
With interest rate hikes implemented and the "Clear Act" setback, two negative factors hit simultaneously, yet BTC only dropped to around $75,000 at its lowest before funds pulled it right back up.
Those wanting to sell probably already have.
Negative news coming out without a price drop is itself a very noteworthy signal.
So who is absorbing it?
On one side, ETFs.
Last week, BTC spot ETFs saw net inflows close to $600 million, but the funds were clearly concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT, while other products were even seeing outflows.
So it can't yet be simply understood as "institutions buying up everything."
On the other side, there's the increasingly frenzied corporate treasury coin-buying wave.
Strategy bought another 950 BTC, BitMine purchased 27,562 ETH, among which about
#DailyOrbit Tuesday was not a new trend, but a digest of Monday's rebound. Dow 51864, down 185 points, down 0.4%. S&P 7765, almost flat, still 0.4% below the August high. Nasdaq 27244, up another 0.5%, closing at a second consecutive high. Russell 2000 up 0.5%. So far this week, the Nasdaq is up 2.7%, the S&P is up 1.5%, and the Dow is up only 0.4%. Year-to-date, the S&P is up about +13%, and the Nasdaq remains clearly ahead. The market is turning. Chips are still buying: Micron up 5%, Sandisk up nearly 7%. Financials are selling: sectors down about 2%, JPMorgan down over 3%, holding down the Dow and S&P. Software was soft, and Meta's Muse hype on Monday turned into competitive pricing for other software companies. Six out of eleven sectors closed lower. The index remained flat thanks to a few tech heavyweights. Oil was the real rhythm of the day. Brent fell below 98 intraday, closed at 99.25, marking its fifth consecutive day of decline. The 10-year US Treasury yield hovered around 4.95%, not rising further or easing sharply. While crude oil fell, US diesel prices still hit new highs. This is why the market doesn't dare to turn the rebound into a trend: oil prices have loosened, but terminal fuel has not been fully loosened. The political line is louder than the index. Trump made tough statements at the United Nations, while also saying the US talks with Iranian representatives were "very good." Rumors about the restoration of Saudi Arabia's eastbound pipeline and whether Hormuz will reopen are all shorting oil prices. These pieces of news can suppress prices🚨 After mainstream coins stabilize, funds begin to look for the next destination.
🟠 $BTC remains the core liquidity source of this market cycle. As long as the price stays strong, the market's risk appetite has a foundation to continue expanding. But the closer BTC gets to its highs, the more funds tend to seek directions with higher volatility.
🔵 $ETH now acts more like the intermediary link connecting mainstream and altcoins. If ETH can maintain its strength, it not only indicates that the market structure is not significantly weakening but may also provide room for sector rotation later.
🟣 $ARB represents the L2 direction. As market sentiment recovers, previously dormant infrastructure assets are regaining attention, a change worth watching.
🧠 The real key signal is not a sudden surge in a single coin, but whether funds continue to spread from BTC and ETH into infrastructure, forming a sustained relay. If it's just a short-term pulse, the market is likely to spike and then fall back.
👉 So now the focus is on "rotation," not "chasing the rally." BTC stabilizes the market, ETH supports the structure, and infrastructure coins like ARB help observe whether risk appetite further expands.
⚠️ The hotter the market, the more you should avoid chasing big green candles. Waiting for rotation confirmation is more important than chasing the first candlestick.
#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 #SEC代币化股票创新豁免落地，UNI盘中涨超21% Distinguish between rotation within existing capital and incremental entry; the source of funds determines the market height 💸
The market ceiling largely depends on whether the funds are competing within existing capital or if external incremental funds are entering. In an existing capital environment, sectors rise and fall alternately, making broad rallies difficult.
$MKR, a veteran DeFi protocol, mostly experiences rotational rebounds in an existing capital market, making it hard to have an independent major bull market; FRAX, a stablecoin system, depends on external capital inflows and cannot sustain sharp rises through internal circulation alone; $HNT, in the DePIN sector, requires new external capital, as pure existing capital speculation limits the sustainability of the market.
In existing capital competition, a big surge in one asset often means other sectors are drained. Only stable incremental capital entry can open up overall upward space.
Don't judge a full bull market just by local rises; first identify the nature of the funds.
Spot trading can be positioned on pullbacks, but leverage must never be fully loaded for speculation, as fluctuations in an existing capital market will be especially intense.

#财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 $FIL is currently in a consolidation phase under positive expectations and has not yet entered the main upward wave.
Retail investor consensus is only a catalyst, not the engine of the market.
Holding the 0.8‑0.85 lifeline is the premise; to move upward, it must first effectively hold above 1.1U to open further room.
The trap of human nature still needs caution: fear at low levels prevents positioning, then FOMO chasing highs once the market rises.
The overall BTC market environment is equally crucial; if the market weakens, even the best narratives will fail. #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 I activated the contract cooling-off period. ZEC surged just now, and I was instantly tempted to short it. To prevent myself from acting impulsively, I set a one-month contract cooling-off period.
I'll take a good rest over the next month.
$UNI $OP $LPT
Let it rise well, see you in a month $FIL is very typical now: the narrative heat is high, but large funds have not yet initiated the main rise.
There has already been a considerable increase over the past thirty days, and there are short-term profit-taking positions that need to be digested. The storage sector AR has taken the lead in strengthening, while FIL still plays the role of a latecomer catching up.
Positive logic: After 10-15, the project team and foundation release ends, new token inflation drops significantly, and the community generally speculates on the deflationary spiral market brought by staking lock-up.
Two realistic shackles still have not disappeared:
1. The rigid selling pressure from miners still exists long-term; once the price rebounds, some miners will sell to pay electricity and data center costs;
2. A large number of deeply trapped old retail holders; once the price rises, selling pressure from those escaping break-even can flood out at any time.
The historical label "Doomsday Chariot" still hangs overhead. Everyone is afraid that in the end it will only be a pulse of expectation-driven market, with buying on expectations and selling on facts after positive news lands.
✅ For true or false market moves, don’t look at community sentiment, focus on two core signals:
1. Total on-chain locked volume: If after a rise a large amount of coins are withdrawn from exchanges for staking, and locked volume continues to rise, that is the initial confirmation of a deflationary spiral;
2. Whether incremental off-exchange funds continue to enter to absorb miners’ and break-even selling pressure.
High trading volume alone does not indicate accumulation; it may also be old coins continuously sold off riding the hype. #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 🔥 The three major mainstreams are starting to show different rhythms.
🟠 $BTC is currently around 85.6K, after falling back from the 87.3K high and entering consolidation, but overall still in a strong zone. The focus now is not on how much higher it can go, but whether it can hold around 85K. Holding means high-level digestion is still ongoing; breaking through 86K again would present a chance to challenge the previous high once more.
🔵 $ETH is around 2.74K, having firmly stood above 2.7K again, with a structure clearly stronger than before. The 2.67K breakout level temporarily serves as the lower observation zone. Whether it can continue to hold above 2.7K is key to the next push toward 2.8K.
🟣 $SOL is around 117, relatively strong in the short term, with a noticeable prior increase. Compared to BTC’s liquidity and ETH’s structure, SOL now acts more like a high elasticity representative, with focus on whether volume and price can continue to coordinate.
🧠 So the roles of the three coins are very clear now: BTC is responsible for liquidity and direction, ETH for structure confirmation, and SOL for amplifying market risk appetite.
👉 As long as BTC holds key support, ETH maintains strength, and SOL keeps relative strength, there is still room for capital rotation. Conversely, if BTC weakens, high-beta assets like SOL tend to be more sensitive.

This trade lost 284.72%, blew up 214.07 USDT.
One after another, no chance for shorts to catch a breath.
Looking back now, shorting the strongest coins in the market might not be trading at all,
but fueling the bulls. 😂
Others open their phones to check profits,
I open mine first to confirm: do I still have any positions left.
So here’s the question:
Am I just too stubborn, or have the shorts in this cycle really become the cheapest fuel for the bull market?
#BTC surge to $87000 #ZEC #ETH #cryptocurrency
#DailyOrbit No midnight scare, actually a bit unusual.
Originally thought there would be a bounce first, giving a chance for a short rebound; but the market stayed flat, key levels weren't broken, volume didn't increase, the candlesticks looked asleep.
This kind of market is the most frustrating: chasing longs fears false breakouts, shorting waits for a position that never comes, forcing trades just means paying fees. Without structure, no guessing direction. Continue hiding during the data window, keep reducing leverage.
If it doesn't move, neither do I. Not every night needs a story; staying completely still is also a signal: the time hasn't come yet.

#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 $ETH value capture: L2 generated $52.19 million in revenue, while the Ethereum mainnet only collected $7.32 million.
Ethereum L2 revenue crushes the mainnet, the landscape has quietly changed. L2 generated $52.19 million in revenue, the mainnet only $7.32 million, a huge revenue gap that means Ethereum's value focus is shifting. In the past, everyone speculated on ETH by only watching mainnet gas fees, but now traffic, transactions, and fees are largely migrating to layer 2 networks. Funds follow real transactions, the L2 ecosystem continues to expand, which will continuously provide burn support for ETH. On the trading side, don't just habitually focus on ETH spot; pay attention to rotation opportunities related to L2 track tokens. During volatile market phases, avoid heavy all-in positions; prioritize phased layout and wait for ecosystem data validation. At the same time, be alert: narrative-driven hype can surge sharply, but the pullback damage can be equally severe. Positive ecosystem data does not mean prices will immediately rise; market sentiment can reverse at any time, so set stop losses and control position sizes. Crypto narratives change daily, data is only a reference, never get carried away by good news and blindly chase highs. ZEC surges to 1600: A short whale with a $33 million unrealized loss, and a meat grinder that won't stop
Let's first look at some data.
On September 21, ZEC once touched $1590.80, approaching the 1600 mark. A year ago, ZEC's price was $51. In one year, 25 times increase. Market cap surged to $25 billion, ranking 9th in the entire market.
But what really made me sit up straight was another number.
On Hyperliquid, around $20.4 million worth of short liquidation positions piled up near $1550, more than four times the nearby liquidation walls. One of ZEC's largest shorts, Garrett Jin, holds 37,999 ZEC short positions with an unrealized loss exceeding $33 million, yet he is still adding to his position. On September 18, he even sold a large amount of ETH to replenish margin.
Shorts are losing money, but they are not running. They are adding to their positions.
This article won't spin you tales about "privacy narrative revival." We'll just talk about one thing: why ZEC can rise to 1600, and when this meat grinder will stop. $ZEC $BTC $ETH #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 $BTC $SNDK SanDisk SNDK Short-term Trend Summary
The overall logic for SNDK remains unchanged: AI storage has a solid long-term narrative, but the sharp rise at high levels has ended, and there is currently no one-sided bull market.
We are now in a high-level consolidation range, with heavy resistance above; rebounds are merely corrections, not new main rallies.
Key ranges:
Support 1550–1600 (short-term strength/weakness line)
Resistance 1800–1850 (failure to break through leads to repeated pullbacks and shakeouts)
Trend rhythm:
- Holding above 1550: range-bound oscillation with repeated rotations, small swings can be traded
- Breakout above 1850 with volume: will trigger a second surge
- Break below 1550: rebound ends, deeper correction continues
Overall conclusion:
Long-term logic is intact; short-term mainly consolidation and shakeout, avoid chasing highs, wait for pullback and stabilization. $SNDK
Brothers, is it still time to get into SanDisk now? On the surface, everything is rising, but after staring at the position chart all night, the more I look, the less organized the structure seems. Is this a broad reversal, or is only a few names holding things up? Let's start with the facts I've seen. $BTC After breaking above 85K, support is at 82K–84K, with resistance at 87K–90K; $ETH Back above 2.7K, support at 2.65K–2.7K, resistance at 2.775K–2.825K; $SOL Holding above 115, support at 110–113, resistance at 119–122. With all three lines driving prices up at once, sentiment is indeed warmer than in previous weeks. But what I care about most this round isn't price, but capital preference. $BTC remains anchored, but $ETH and $SOL participate noticeably more actively, indicating more money willing to bear volatility rather than just hiding in the most stable ones. This shift in preference usually first shows as the pullback depth of strong coins becomes shallower, then gradually spreads to counterfeit followers. Bullish path: As long as $BTC doesn't lose 82K–84K, $ETH holds above 2.65K, $SOL doesn't break 110, the market will continue testing $90K, 3K, 120 round targets. Whole numbers are naturally emotional, and breaking out easily attracts chasing prices. There are risks, and they are not obvious. If $BTC pushes to 87K–90K and volume can't keep up, and $ETH and $SOL weaken first, then it's not spreading but high-level turnover. My own mistake is going forwardWith a full all-bet of $130 million, Maji Big Brother's latest bullet list has been dug up again.
ETH is the absolute main force: 31,000 coins, 25 times, accounting for $85.88 million, with a floating profit of 3.708 million USD. But the liquidation line of 24.5889 is just a breath away from the current price—winning depends on it, and if it crashes, it will be the first to fall.
342 BTC, 40x leverage, floating profit of 930,000 U, liquidation price 60,466, a solid safety cushion, it's the kind of stable spot you can sleep in.
HYPE 158,000 tokens, 10x trade, average price 93.08, unrealized profit of 320,000 USD, liquidation line 37.7, betting on thematic flexibility.
Total unrealized profit is nearly 5 million USD. But in the cross-margin model, the three brothers are tied to the same rope—if ETH plunges, the profits of the other two contracts will also be lost.
$BTC $ETH
Whether the God of War or the gambler depends on the ETH line. 🔥 After the rebound, the key is whether it can hold steady.
🟠 $BTC is currently fluctuating around 85.4K–86K, with the previous drop temporarily repaired. What really matters now is not how fast it surges, but whether the 84K–85K support can hold.
📌 If BTC can stabilize above 85K and further break through 86K, it indicates that the short-term bullish structure remains, and attention can continue to be paid to resistance near the previous highs. Conversely, if 85K repeatedly fails to hold, be cautious of falling back to around 84K to seek support.
🔵 $ETH broke through 2.67K and climbed back above 2.7K, with the structure also showing strength. 2.7K has gradually shifted from resistance to a watch level; the focus now is whether it can continue to push toward and hold above 2.8K.
🧠 Currently, BTC is responsible for direction, ETH for confirmation. Only if both hold their breakout levels will the market structure be healthier; if prices surge but key levels don’t hold, it’s easy to fall back into consolidation.
👉 So there’s no need to rush chasing gains in the short term. Focus on BTC at 85K and 86K, and ETH at 2.7K and 2.8K, letting the price itself give the next signal.

#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #Strategy再度增持，财库同步加仓 #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 The fire scene detector readings have already maxed out, and thick smoke on the ceiling is starting to roll. Who gave you the courage to take off your mask and charge forward at this moment?
The current $SOL market looks like an old brick-and-wood building with a fire area that keeps expanding. The 118.53 USDT level is right under the load-bearing beam of the Bollinger upper band at 118.82. The RSI has surged to 61.6, with extremely intense thermal convection, and a flashover could happen at any time. Those retail investors blindly chasing longs manually are like blindly running through a fire scene without laying down water hoses or lifelines, completely unaware that the load-bearing floor beneath their feet could collapse at any moment.
As the commander leading the firefighting team, I never see the words "get rich" in my eyes, only escape routes and firebreaks.
My grid search and rescue program has long been deployed below, setting up a water cannon position every 0.4%, automatically absorbing pullbacks. While you are emotionally gambling on whether it can break through the resistance wall, my automated hydrant system has already completed over 40 safe pressure releases within the 116 to 118 oscillation range, turning passive pressure into stable thermal energy recovery.
No breaching tools or safe retreat routes mean strictly no entry for internal attack. As long as the fire shutter door at the Bollinger lower band 116.15 is not burned through, the bottom safety channel remains effective. We only establish water curtain protection when the fire recedes to the safe isolation zone, never hard topping at the thickest smoke layer.

If the escape route is blocked, immediately sound the alarm to clear positions and evacuate. The remaining pressure in the air tank only supports down to 114.50; a break below is considered a full collapse. 🧑🚒
#StrategyPlaybook#BTC surges to $87000, total crypto market cap returns to 3 trillion
Watching the candlesticks jump, my heartbeat accelerates; even after losing money, I can't help but want to open the next position—I get that feeling. You say you're a gambler, but it's more like looking in a mirror in the market: greed, fear, unwillingness to give up, every emotion magnified clearly by the market. The most fascinating part of trading is precisely this battle with yourself. When you win, you want to win more; when you lose, you want to recover your losses. Ultimately, who isn't doing it to make money? Those who say "not for money" have either already earned enough or haven't woken up from losses yet. But the problem is, passion and talent are never the same thing. Some are naturally sensitive to numbers and disciplined as iron; others get emotional as soon as they enter the market and lose more and more. Admitting you're not suited for it takes more courage than forcing it. The market won't go easy on you just because you love it; your account balance is the final answer. Don't romanticize gambling with "practice," and don't use "talent" to avoid reviewing your trades. Think clearly: do you really love trading, or do you love the feeling of the adrenaline? If it's the latter, leaving early is the greatest kindness to yourself. #Strategy again increases holdings, financial treasury simultaneously adds positions #FinancialReportObserver: Costco Q4 earnings report coming soon Yesterday's frantic rise in BTC, besides the capital flow within the crypto circle itself, there is another variable that cannot be overlooked: CL, BZ, USO. (All have certain declines) The reasons are as follows: 1. On September 22, Trump will meet with six Gulf countries: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. Although the discussion is about Iran, the market's real sensitivity still lies with CL, BZ, USO, and their relation to Iran. 2.

In the simulated "digital museum," I command the landscape before century-old K-line rubbings, enduring a 30% virtual mudslide without a heartbeat change. But today, when I first invested real money as excavation funds into the market, watching the floating profits and losses on the screen, my fingers holding the shovel uncontrollably trembled. The feeling of real money being ground down in the weathering layers of history is completely different from theoretical research on paper.
$ETH currently hovers at 2756, right on the edge of the ancient rammed earth wall at the Bollinger upper band 2764.46. The 1-hour RSI has climbed to 58.1, seemingly still with momentum to push higher, but according to the sedimentation patterns of past collapses, the foundation here is seriously insufficiently compacted. There is nothing new under the sun; every volume contraction before a breakout eerily resembles those gilded temples in ancient times that masked empty treasuries.
This is definitely not a solid revival cycle, but a structural fracture after touching the upper band resistance. The middle band at 2745.89 is the recent compacted foundation; if a retest fails, the lower Bollinger band at 2727.31 will become the next burial pit.

#StrategyPlaybookThe Nasdaq hit another record high, and AMD's market value has surpassed one trillion. Do you think this AI rally is a real recovery, or just a speculative bubble driven by options? The recent market is quite interesting. Meta $META launched an intelligent agent called Muse, which has completely ignited the AI Agent hype.
People are starting to realize that AI has evolved from just chatting to helping with complex continuous tasks, which has fundamentally changed the underlying demand. Previously, everyone was focused on Nvidia $NVDA's GPU scramble, but intelligent agents need to run continuously and frequently adjust data, causing a sudden surge in CPU demand. So you see $ARM, Intel $INTC, and AMD all soaring together. However, Goldman Sachs also said this rally looks more like a quiet surge driven by funds playing options on a few tech giants. Everyone is actually a bit nervous; the AI outlook is promising, but valuations are rising too fast and interest rates remain high. Can it really hold up?
The core focus next is Micron $MU's earnings report. As a bellwether for memory chips, if Micron delivers strong results, it could give this AI wave a strong boost. If guidance falls short of expectations, the high-level trapped positions will likely crash down immediately. I think the demand for computing power is expanding from GPU dominance to include CPU and storage, indicating the ecosystem is growing. Rather than chasing chip stocks at high levels, it might be better to focus more on companies that are actually generating revenue from AI implementation, or wait for Micron's earnings report before making a move. Have you gotten on board this rally? How do you plan to adjust your positions? This isn't a rebound; it's like CPR for my empty account, right? During the repeated fluctuations in the session, before the market fully started, I saw $MUU bottoming without breaking down, buying pressure strengthening, and someone catching the dip below, so I signaled to open a long at 34.30. 😅
Just after lunch when I checked the market, the price had already touched 38.82, longs +263.55%, nailed it. This profit feels good, everyone in the car must have woken up laughing, hitting the rhythm just right feels great. 🔥
The market cures all kinds of arrogance, especially from those who think they're the smartest.
Closed 70% of the position first, moved the stop to cost price for the remaining 30%, don’t give back profits on the rebound, let the profits run if it keeps going. Don’t be greedy for the last bite, pocket the big chunk first. 💪
The premise of compounding is staying alive; shortcuts to getting rich often lead to zero.
Now is not the time to rush; if you miss it, don’t chase. Wait for a new structure to form, chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak. There are still opportunities, don’t be anxious.
$SNDK $BNB 🔥 BTC has surged to 87K, do you think this is the real bull market kickoff?
🟠 $BTC's recent rally is indeed fierce, with massive short liquidations and clear ETF fund inflows. On the surface, buying pressure looks very strong, but here’s the question: are these funds buying spot, or is leveraged capital taking over?
Perpetual OI keeps rising, with new longs continuously replacing liquidated shorts. After BTC hit 87.4K, it quickly dropped back near 85.5K. This detail is actually crucial—if it’s just a short squeeze, the rally might be fast but the pullback will be quick too.
📌 For the short term, focus on two levels: 85K and 84K. If these hold repeatedly, it means support remains; if broken and not recovered soon, be cautious as this rally might be entering a profit-taking phase.
🔵 ETH and AI sectors are active simultaneously, indicating funds are starting to rotate horizontally, but “fund rotation” is still some distance from a full bull market.
🧠 So the most worth discussing now isn’t "can BTC keep rising," but rather: who exactly is buying this round? Is spot capital taking over the market, or are leveraged longs picking up the shorts’ guns?
#BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 #SEC代币化股票创新豁免落地，UNI盘中涨超21% If you haven't been watching DeFi this week, opening market software now might be shocking. UNI is currently priced at $10.18, up 13.26% in 24 hours, reaching a high of $10.45. Looking back, on September 17, the day the SEC first issued the innovation waiver, UNI was only $7.5. It rose 36% in seven days. ARB rose 25% during the same period, and the entire DeFi sector was moving. Why UNI? Going back to the SEC order on September 17. Back then, Liuda E wrote that the SEC granted a 5-year temporary exemption to "tokenized securities exchanges," allowing tokenized US stock trading using permissioned AMMs. Who benefits the most? Uniswap v4—which natively supports permissioned whitelist pools; institutions building compliant pools immediately build on version 4. This is not just empty promises. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams came forward to confirm that the v4 permission pool directly meets TSV requirements. In other words, if any institution wants to trade tokenized Apple or Tesla stocks on-chain in the future, technically they should use Uniswap's pool. What's even more interesting is the whale movement. Data from Traders Union shows that the recent rise in UNI has been accompanied by a large number of whale addresses accumulating shares. The price has risen above the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages—a broad bullish technical turn. This triple resonance of "favorable fundamentals + capital support + technical confirmation" is rare on UNI. But there's a detail worth pondering. On September 17, the SEC filing was just released, so I slipped awayWhat if this round isn't a "knockoff season," but rather leverage rewriting the strength and weakness relationship? I'm staring at my few contracts, not closing for now. It's not greed, just wanting to see how far sentiment can push the derivatives line. The original text is actually simple: hold contracts, don't rush to close, believe that US stocks and crypto still have upside potential, but after sharp rises, pullbacks will follow. Don't use high leverage or sell too frequently. It sounds like a cliché, but in today's market, it hits a missed spot: the structure of derivatives. Let's first look at the bullish path. As long as funding rates don't spiral out of control, open interest rises moderately, and BTC and ETH pullbacks are quickly absorbed, it shows leverage is "disciplined," not purely sentiment-based. At times like this, forced liquidations don't trigger a chain of blows; instead, they give the spot and spot ETF lines some breathing room. If ETH can show relative strength during BTC's sideways trading, counterfeit traders will have a chance to shift from "following the rally" to "rotation." This is a typical case of risk appetite spreading: first the core, then spillover. But the risks are also here. The resilience of counterfeit assets is never free; they rely on higher leverage, thinner depth, and more urgent sentiment. Once BTC surges and stabilizes, and funding rates turn negative or open interest sharply drops, the first to suffer is often not BTC, but those high-beta small coins. Many people think they are waiting for rotation, but in fact, they are waiting for a wave of forced liquidations. The original text reminds you not to overleverage or trade frequently; translated into market language: don't turn yourself into someone else's when derivatives are most crowdedThe total crypto market cap has climbed back above $3 trillion — the last time it was at this level was November 2021 (ATH period).
$3 trillion means the combined market cap of BTC + ETH + major altcoins has returned to about 70%-80% of the previous bull market peak.
Compared to the 2022 bear market low of $800 billion, this is a 3.7x rebound — a full cycle driven by "institutional buy-in + ETF channels + on-chain activity."
What really matters is not the total market cap number itself, but "how long it can hold above $3 trillion" — historically, after the crypto market cap reaches this level, the next step is either breaking through $4 trillion into the "bubble zone" or oscillating and reshuffling between $2.8-3 trillion.
The Q4 trend will determine whether the next phase is a "slow bull continuation" or "high-level consolidation."Ondo’s tokenized-equity announcement gave $ETH a brief stage, and the price behaved like a trader, not a believer: a push to 2806, then a slide to 2775 almost before the headline finished circulating. The round number did the work. It always does. What matters is the microstructure behind that spike. On the four-hour chart, the J value of the stochastic printed 100.57 and RSI6 reached 90. Those are not accumulation readings. They describe a market where buyers arrived late, chased a narrative caDoes paying Gas on behalf of users weaken the demand for ETH? The answer depends on who settles in the background.
Programmable accounts allow applications to pay Gas on behalf of users. On the surface, users don't need to hold $ETH first, which seems to weaken ETH's demand as a fee asset. In reality, the fee doesn't disappear; the payer changes from the user to the application, wallet, or sponsoring service, but the background still requires ETH to complete mainnet settlement.
This change is more like merchants offering free shipping. Consumers don't pay shipping fees directly, but that doesn't mean logistics companies work for free; the cost is included in the product budget and centrally procured by a more professional party. If paying on behalf encourages more people to complete their first operation and increases transaction frequency, the total demand for ETH might actually increase.
The issue is whether the subsidy is sustainable. Unlimited spending to attract new users will ultimately only create short-term interactions; only by incorporating Gas into subscriptions, fees, or commercial revenue can a long-term model be formed. The market should focus on usage retention rather than the number of addresses involved in a single subsidy event.
$ETH doesn't require every user to understand Gas before operating, just like internet users don't need to buy server bandwidth. What truly matters is that network settlement is still denominated in ETH, and smoother entry points bring more genuine activity. Users not feeling Gas doesn't mean the protocol no longer needs Gas.

Who pays on behalf of users can change, but what asset the network ultimately collects remains the key to valuation.This morning's early market looks like a turnaround, but a closer look at the data suggests it's more like a breather after a rebound.
$BTC fell back to around 86,200 in the morning, $ETH retreated to the 2,744 level, down 0.53% and 1.30% respectively over 24 hours. Last night BTC once surged to 87,381 but failed to hold and slipped back.
The liquidation data is even more worth noting: in the past 24 hours, $347 million was liquidated across the network, with $218 million long positions and $129 million short positions liquidated. When prices rise, shorts get squeezed; when prices fall, longs get hit—both sides are getting wiped out.
The market cap has indeed returned to $3 trillion, but the driving force is the open interest in perpetual contracts surging to nearly $160 billion—the highest since late October last year. Market cap built by leverage is different from market cap built by spot buying.
Altcoins haven't kept up. BTC dominance is 59.13%, ETH 11.45%, both declining, and the total altcoin market cap growth is limited. Funds are circulating within the heavyweights without spilling over.
This "turnaround" in the early market is a flip in the index, not in most people's accounts.
Don't rush to call the bull market back. Those holding steady should continue to hold; those without positions should keep watching. Wait for the structure to unfold before making moves.

1. Don't mistake the rebound for a gift; it could also be a bait.
After excluding BTC and ETH, the total market cap growth of other tokens is not significant. Retail investors see the market warming up and think the altcoin season is coming. But this rally is mostly driven by ETF fund inflows and institutional accumulation, not a full-scale entry of new off-market funds. Institutions mainly buy BTC and ETH; the funds altcoins receive are very limited. It looks like everything is rising, but in reality, the heavyweights are holding up the scene.
2. Who is collecting money, who is paying the bill.
Large holders, institutions, and market makers who built positions at low levels push prices up using positive news, then hand over chips to latecomers. Retail investors chasing the rally, leveraging up, and following KOLs into altcoins often end up as the bag holders. When you click buy, you might just be helping someone else realize profits.
3. The harsh truth during a volatile period.
A market index recovery doesn't mean your account has broken even. Market cap repair isn't necessarily your opportunity; it could be someone else's exit window. Either hold BTC and ETH, control your position size, and wait patiently; or stay out and observe. Don't justify altcoin losses as long-term holding.
Remember: The cruelest part of a bull market is not knocking you down all at once, but making you mistakenly believe your odds are high, only to wear down your principal through repeated ups and downs.

On the day the 8.31 vulnerability broke out, major exchanges like Coinbase and Bithumb urgently suspended CORE deposit and withdrawal channels to block abnormal ghost tokens from cross-chain transfers into exchanges, preventing sell pressure from impacting the secondary market. After the dust settled, institutional funds issued a direct veto on CORE: the risk of these 69 million ghost tokens is unquantifiable, the token release curve is permanently distorted, and institutional risk control systems do not allow entry or allocation.
With exchanges hedging and institutions exiting, who exactly is buying and taking the bag in the subsequent market?
First category: Short-term retail traders in the BTCFi sector, the largest group taking the bag
CORE itself is EVM-compatible, with 21 million on-chain addresses accumulated, and it is widely known in the BTCFi community. Many retail investors only remember its old narrative as a "Bitcoin hashrate public chain" and have shallow understanding of the details about the 69 million ghost tokens.
Whenever the BTCFi sector rotates and targets like STX/MERL see gains, funds look for low-priced targets to switch between highs and lows. CORE’s market cap is relatively small, so once the sector heats up, short-term rallies have strong explosive power. These retail traders are speculating on short-term pulse markets, aiming to make a quick profit and then exit.
Risk point: Many enter the market and, influenced by rising prices, shift from short-term speculation to long-term holding, ultimately becoming the bag holders for ghost token sell-offs.
Second category: On-chain arbitrage and quantitative market-making teams (pure trading, no long-term holding)
Some quantitative bots and market-making funds participate in CORE trading. But their logic is completely different from ordinary investors: they do not trust the project fundamentals, do not hold tokens long-term, and only profit from price spreads and liquidity arbitrage.
They provide liquidity during uptrends, but once large transfers from ghost token addresses are detected on-chain, quantitative funds will immediately cancel orders and sell, avoiding sell pressure. They act as market lubricants, not as bottom-funding capital.
Third category: Community veteran players with light positions, overt speculators
This group has fully followed the entire 8.31 event and clearly understands the risk of ghost tokens looming overhead. However, they accept the sector rotation logic and are willing to risk very small positions for trial and error, strictly setting take-profit and stop-loss.
They know this is not value investing but emotional speculation; if the market disappoints, they decisively cut losses and exit. This capital is not large and represents some of the few clear-headed participants in the market.
Who absolutely does not enter? Professional long-term institutions
Institutional investment models require clear and predictable token release plans. The ghost tokens of CORE have unpredictable timing and amounts of sales, representing unquantifiable tail risk.
Even if CORE rises short-term, institutions will not allocate. Their absence means the market is only held by retail and short-term funds, with no long-term capital to support the market. Once sector heat fades and no new funds take over, declines will be very rapid.
Core insights from the event
Exchange suspension of deposits and withdrawals is a short-term risk isolation measure; the hard fork technically stops the bleeding but cannot repair the trust crisis in the economic model. The institutional veto essentially refuses to bear the permanent ghost token landmine.
All subsequent CORE rallies are pulse markets driven by rotating existing funds, with no fundamentally driven long bull market.
Marx said a single practical action is worth more than a dozen programs. The project team keeps announcing the network is running normally but has never presented a substantive plan to handle ghost tokens. No amount of publicity can change the reality of institutions staying away and the market relying entirely on retail clustering.
Operational boundaries for speculation
If participating in CORE, it should only be as a very small position for short-term speculation, never heavy positions or long-term holding.
Focus on tracking three signals continuously: large transfer records from ghost token addresses, BTC native staking amounts, and overall BTCFi sector trading volume. Once persistent ghost token transfers are detected, positions must be reduced immediately to avoid sell pressure.
Summary: After 8.31, the main bag holders are BTCFi retail traders, short-term quant funds, and a small number of risk speculators. Institutions choose to completely avoid. Without institutional support and with ghost tokens ready to dump anytime, every CORE rally is essentially emotional speculation.
