Here's what happened if you'd allocated $5,000 equally across different assets starting January 2025:
Traditional precious metals stole the show—silver surged to $14,000, while gold climbed to $9,500. Stock indices lagged considerably: the S&P 500 only reached $5,400, and the Dow Jones barely held at $5,300.
Crypto assets painted a different picture. Bitcoin landed at $4,450, showing restraint compared to traditional winners. Ethereum, meanwhile, sat at $3,400—trailing most other asset classes.
The takeaway? Year-to-date performance tells a compelling story about diversification. Silver's expl

$LIT currently sits at a critical juncture. The 2.782 level represents a key support zone you'll want to keep your eye on—losing this could signal trouble ahead. Your stop loss should sit somewhere around 2.574 if you're holding.
Here's the thing: this chart was put together on the 29th, but the actual price action has beaten expectations to the downside. The real test comes if price fails to reclaim the 2.91 zone. If that happens, we're likely looking at a continuation of the downtrend we've been tracking.

A fundamental dilemma of blockchain is right here: no matter how sophisticated smart contracts are written, they can only operate within their own limited on-chain domain. Real-world events—commodity price fluctuations, contract signings, sports results—all of these are black boxes to them.
This is no small issue. Early DeFi participants suffered many losses because data delays or errors led directly to liquidations, costing real money. Later, everyone realized that without a trustworthy external data source, so-called decentralization is at best a semi-finished product.
Some people saw an opp

Imagine a scenario: you have only 100 dollars but want to invest in a luxury property in Manhattan. In the Web2 era, the only way out was to buy real estate funds (REITs), but the problem was you couldn't see the actual property. However, Web3 changes everything — you can purchase a fractional ownership Token, directly holding an on-chain proof of the asset.
It sounds wonderful, but hidden risks exist. What if the issuer suddenly sells the property secretly? Your Token could instantly become worthless.

Recently, many people have been discussing BTC trends, so I decided to organize my observations.
Comparing historical data is quite interesting— the last bottom formation took 40 days, from top to bottom it took 79 days. This cycle, from a high to now, has already lasted 85 days, and the bottom has been forming for about 40 days, showing some similarities in the time structure.
There are basically two possible directions for the next move. One is to continue selling off, pushing the price down; the other is the bottoming phase, similar to the performance at the previous low.
Personally, I lean

Let's take a look at the recent trend of WCT.
**4-Hour Chart: The Key Moment Has Arrived**
This large bearish candle has dropped down, essentially wiping out the previous gains. But don't rush to run away—look here— the yellow line is EMA7 (0.08753), and the recent low price (0.0866) is hovering around this area. It closed back up again. What does this indicate? As long as the 4-hour candlestick doesn't break below 0.087 at the end, the upward trend remains intact. This current sharp decline is likely just a shakeout in the middle of the move.

The second phase of the Stable pre-deposit activity has officially opened for withdrawals. Users who participated in this phase of pre-deposit can now claim their corresponding funds. Users who want to learn about the specific claiming process and check their fund status can do so through the relevant channels. The opening of this activity is a great opportunity for participants, and those interested can stay tuned for future updates.

The UK Treasury is moving forward with comprehensive crypto regulation. New legislative framework targeting crypto firms is in the pipeline, with rollout anticipated around 2027.
Here's what's coming: crypto platforms and service providers will fall under formal regulatory oversight, bringing them into the same compliance structure as traditional financial institutions. The Financial Conduct Authority will serve as the primary regulator managing this expanded perimeter.
This marks a significant shift in how the UK approaches digital assets—treating them alongside conventional financial product

To be honest, doing altcoins in the second half of this year truly requires a diamond-hearted mindset. Let's look back at those crazy moments——
In the Bitcoin ecosystem, $RAD, as the first on-chain DEX project from a major exchange, surged 15 times. Following closely, $FSPKS (Spark's first Meme token) had a relatively moderate increase but still doubled. There’s also $NAT, a Bitcoin-associated mine coin, which also had a fierce rally, with a 4x fluctuation that dazzled people.
Around the National Day holiday, the BSC ecosystem was a wild celebration, with various new projects launching one aft

Recently, I spent time re-analyzing the capital flows of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, and the results point in the same direction — very pessimistic.
Over the past month, both of these leading cryptocurrencies have experienced continuous and significant net outflows, which directly suppress short-term market trends. From a capital perspective, there are no signs of new funds entering the market. Instead, it seems more like major institutions are trimming their positions at year-end rather than initiating a new round of deployment.
The technical outlook is also unfriendly. On the Bitcoin daily ch

Honestly, some tokens' routines are really outrageous. At first, I was attracted by marketing copy, but only later did I realize I had fallen into a trap—these types of coins are basically tools to maintain superficial market hype. The candlestick charts seem to run normally, but once you try to cash out your profits, the price drops immediately like a waterfall. What's even more heartbreaking is that during the holding process, you have to endure continuous fluctuations and declines, watching your principal evaporate right before your eyes.
The root cause of the problem is simple: there are n

Another DeFi bloodbath. The funds pool deployed on the Story protocol by Unleash Protocol was attacked, with hackers transferring $3.9 million in an unauthorized operation, then bridging it across chains to Ethereum, and finally laundering 1,337 ETH through Tornado Cash. Currently, the protocol has suspended all operations.
Such incidents have become commonplace on the blockchain. But behind what seems to be routine, there are two tricky realities in the DeFi ecosystem. First, insufficient auditing at the smart contract level. Many new protocols rush to launch, and their smart contract code au

Creator payout improvements are heading to X - and honestly, this move makes total sense for long-term platform health. We've known it for a while now, but the economics are straightforward: premium talent gravitates toward better rewards, and quality creators naturally attract larger audiences. It's the flywheel effect. Better incentives pull in stronger creators, who then build bigger communities, which strengthens the entire ecosystem. That's how sustainable platform growth actually works.

Honestly, the chances are slim.
Whenever Ethereum surges, the market speculates on the "Doomsday Chariot" concept. But there's a fundamental problem with this view—the gas fees are essentially depreciating in the long run. Most public chains cannot escape this fate, gradually falling into silence after initial hype. The reason is simple: after a wave of retail investors get caught, the market cools off, as no one wants to be repeatedly exploited.
This current bull market itself has issues; high interest rates make the market behave awkwardly, and even Bitcoin struggles to generate stable retur
