Historically, in the battle for customer acquisition in finance, "giving users a share of the profits" has always been the simplest and most effective weapon.
More than ten years ago, Yu'e Bao used visible and easily calculable returns to break through ordinary people's understanding of financial products and launched a positive challenge to traditional finance.
A similar game is now being replayed across the ocean. In recent days, Wall Street elites and crypto-native giants have been fiercely contesting the market structure legislation concerning stablecoin yields. One side attempts to safeguard the high walls of traditional finance through regulation, while the other tries to compete for market share with real money.
Turning our gaze back to China, the digital renminbi is undergoing a crucial upgrade. As is well known, over the years of pilot programs, red envelope incentives, scene-based promotion, and policy pushes have been repeatedly attempted, but the digital renminbi has yet to truly enter the homes of ordinary people.
With the launch of Digital RMB 2.0 this year, which now has the ability to generate interest, it has finally provided users with a

Recently, some analysts have started comparing the current Bitcoin price trend to 2022. Although short-term price patterns may seem somewhat similar, such comparisons are completely absurd in the long run. Whether it’s from long-term price patterns, macroeconomic background, or investor composition and holding structures, the underlying logic has fundamentally changed.
One of the biggest mistakes when analyzing and trading financial markets is focusing only on short-term, superficial statistical similarities while ignoring the long-term, macro, and fundamental driving factors.
A starkly contrasting macroeconomic background
In March 2022, the United States was in a clear high-inflation and rate-hiking cycle, primarily driven by the following factors:
Excess liquidity released during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The outbreak of the Ukraine war, which further fueled inflation.

Deep Tide Guide: As the macro environment undergoes dramatic changes by 2026, market logic is experiencing a profound shift. Veteran macro trader Common Sense Investor (CSI) presents a contrarian view: 2026 will be the year when bonds outperform stocks.
Based on the heavy interest expense pressure on the US government, the deflationary signals released by gold, extremely crowded bond short positions, and the imminent trade conflicts, the author believes that long-duration US bonds (such as TLT) are at an explosive point with an "asymmetric game" advantage.
At a time when the market generally considers bonds "uninvestable," this article uses rigorous macroeconomic mathematical reasoning to reveal why long-term bonds might become the highest-yielding asset in 2026.

January 20, 2026, marks the one-year anniversary of Trump's official inauguration.
Back then, 72 hours before the inauguration, a crypto wallet with the code name 6QSc2Cx began大量 buying a new token, priced at 18 cents each. This token was created just a few hours earlier and had no public promotion.
A few hours later, Trump announced on social media that he had issued a cryptocurrency named after himself, $TRUMP.
After the announcement, the token's price skyrocketed from under $1 to $75 within 48 hours. The wallet that entered early cashed out at the peak, making a profit of $109 million.
The New York Times commissioned an on-chain analysis firm to track this, discovering that there was more than one such "mysterious prophet."

This innovative measure aims to impose higher taxes on the state's ultra-wealthy—some argue that these wealthy individuals are not bearing a tax burden commensurate with their wealth. The proposal may be put to a vote by California voters in November.

Looking back at 2025, this year was not simply a bull or bear market, but a reorientation of the cryptocurrency industry within the multiple coordinates of politics, finance, and technology—laying the foundation for a more mature and institutionalized cycle in 2026.
At the beginning of the year, Trump's inauguration and the digital asset strategic executive order significantly changed regulatory expectations. Meanwhile, $TRUMP token issuance brought cryptocurrencies into the mainstream, market risk appetite rapidly increased, Bitcoin historically broke through $100,000, completing its first leap from a "speculative asset" to a "political and macro asset."
Subsequently, the market quickly faced the backlash of real-world constraints. Celebrity coins declined, the Ethereum "插针" incident, and Bybit experienced an epic
