The Escalation of the Stablecoin Dispute: Banks and Crypto in the "Fund Control" Game
The U.S. banking industry is ramping up lobbying efforts, strongly opposing the compromise plan in the CLARITY Act regarding stablecoin yields.
The core of the current controversy is: the draft proposes to prohibit users from earning interest on their stablecoin balances, but still allows rewards based on usage behavior. From the banking system's perspective, this design could still serve as a channel for funds to flow out of traditional deposits into the crypto market.
Several banking associations estimate t

Last night, ETH experienced a surge with increased volume, reaching a high of 2463 before turning back down. Now the price is around 2350. The overall trend is very clear: after a quick rise to lure in buyers, it has returned to a bearish rhythm. That rapid upward move last night did not change the main direction; subsequent rebounds are still opportunities to short. The actual short entry point I provided was 2465, but the market only reached 2463 before turning back down—just two points short of entry. Truly a chosen one, perfectly missing this high short opportunity $ETH .

Weekends are not impossible to trade, it's just that the market rhythm is slow and liquidity is weak, we don't chase quick gains, don't over-allocate, stick to light positions, set good stop-losses, and hold a long-term perspective, gradually trading slowly, a steady stream of progress, steady and cautious. $BTC $GT #山寨币强势反弹 #AI基建重心转向应用侧

$BTC & $USDT.D
How to navigate the upcoming days?
For now, there's really not much that you can do.
HTF it still looks bullish for crypto looking at $USDT.D, however, for it to gain real traction, we need to:
* Gain the drop-off point on $BTC
* Fall below the 7% $USDT.D level.
For spot holdings, it's never bad to take profits here, if you followed my previous analysis there's a decent chance your avg price is close to the bottom, which means you're already in good profit.
For traders? Either you've shorted the drop-off point on $BTC or there's not that much you can do right now other than to

Bitcoin ETFs See Strong Inflows as US-Iran Ceasefire Eases Oil Price Pressures
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded robust net inflows totaling **$186 million** over the past two days, signaling continued institutional interest despite ongoing market volatility. This comes as positive developments in the US-Iran ceasefire, including confirmation that the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial shipping, have helped lower crude oil prices and reduced fears of severe energy supply disruptions.
With oil prices dropping sharply, the broader risk-on sentiment has provided support to cryptocurrency marke

Bitcoin Surges to Fresh Two-Month High Near $77,000 as Geopolitical Relief and ETF Inflows Fuel Rally
Bitcoin has climbed sharply to around **$77,000**, marking a fresh two-month high as easing US-Iran tensions continue to support risk appetite in global markets. Iran's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz remains fully open for commercial shipping during the ceasefire has helped lower crude oil prices, reducing inflationary concerns and boosting investor sentiment across risk assets.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded strong inflows last week, with over **$1.1 billion** in net buying — the highest

How should you spend the weekend? Should you turn off the glaring candlestick charts, pack some snacks, and go out of town to catch some breeze and look at the flowers? Or should you stick to the screen, your eyes wide like brass bells—just waiting for a rebound to show up out of nowhere? I believe every friend trading on Gate is frantically stuck between these two choices at the limit
On one side is poetry and faraway places: green mountains and clear waters, a gentle breeze brushing your face—no need to stare at the charts, no need to be anxious. Ups and downs have nothing to do wit

🚨 Bitcoin's sharp surge is not genuine buying? $526 million short positions being "squeezed out"
Latest data shows that during Bitcoin's rapid rise from $74,000 to $78,000, the market experienced a typical short squeeze.
📊 24-hour short liquidation amount: approximately $526 million
📊 Peak forced liquidation: approximately $357 million
📊 Liquidation time: around 21:00 (UTC+8)
Simply put:
When prices rise, a large amount of short positions are forced to close, and the system automatically buys back, further pushing up the price, creating a chain reaction of upward movement.

The “Cracks” Behind U.S. Stock New Highs: Why Is the Market Celebrating While the Finance Minister Is Afraid?
This week, the S&P 500 index set a historical high of 7022 points, seemingly wiping away the shadow of war entirely. But the finance ministers from ten countries did not breathe any easier because of this. Nobel laureate Friedman’s theory reminds us that financial markets repair “expectations,” while the damage to the real economy—just now beginning to be settled.
Markets move at the speed of light; the real economy moves at a turtle’s pace
