Just took a look at the Hong Kong stock market, and the ADR side is still doing pretty well; it went up again today, now around 27,272 points. The increase is only about 0.33%, and it seems to be steadily moving upward.
Night futures also rose, up to about 85 points, with a gain of roughly 0.31%, currently at 27,260 points. Interestingly, the night futures still maintain a high premium of 77 points, indicating that the market still has some expectations for the future.
On the U.S. stock side, there are some individual developments, but the Hong Kong market is experiencing a mild upward trend.

Recently, I've come across quite a few news reports about Turkey and Israel, and it seems very tense. But after taking a closer look, things might not be as exaggerated as the headlines suggest.
First, to be clear: Erdogan has indeed issued many tough words, but so far, there has been no official declaration of war. Turkey is mainly engaging in public opinion and economic pressure for now, and hasn't actually mobilized troops. This is very important—don't be fooled by alarming news headlines.
Why is Turkey doing this? I see a few main reasons. First is the economic card—they're restricting tra

WLFI's move is indeed quite interesting, directly targeting TRX's rhythm? I heard that Sun Yuchen has recently been somewhat on the defensive, after all, the emergence of such a competitor does have some impact on the Tron ecosystem. However, whether WLFI can truly shake up the current landscape depends on its subsequent actual operations. What do you think about this new rival?

Hong Kong stock market is green again today. I checked and the Hang Seng Index fell by 0.71%. The tech sector is even worse, with the Hang Seng Tech Index dropping 0.69%. I heard Baidu and NetEase-S were hit particularly hard, with Baidu falling over 3% and NetEase-S dropping more than 2%.
It seems that tech stocks in the Hong Kong market have been struggling lately, with these internet giants one after another declining. Looks like many people lost money in Hong Kong stocks today.

I just saw an interesting move; the Bitcoin treasury company Strive has been making big purchases again. This time, they bought $50 million worth of Strategy's STRC perpetual preferred shares, and also purchased an additional 179 Bitcoins, bringing their total holdings to 13,311 coins, which is roughly $930 million at current prices.
Honestly, it seems like Strive is having a tough time. When they were founded in 2025, they tried to replicate Michael Saylor’s successful strategy, but the results weren’t ideal. Their stock price has fallen over 90% from last summer’s high, and they even had to

I recently noticed that the market capitalization of USDT is fluctuating, currently around $185 billion in circulation. Although it seemed that some people were discussing its continuous decline earlier, the data from the past 30 days shows a growth of only 0.02%, basically sideways movement. Many people are paying attention to the trends of stablecoins, as these relate to the liquidity of the entire market. The recent shifts in capital flow in the crypto market are quite worth observing, and there are also rumors of outflows from Lella, but as the largest stablecoin, USDT should remain relati

I just came across something interesting. Related to Trump, Truth Social is applying to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund, aiming to launch Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Currently, Bitcoin is around $74k, and Ethereum is over $2,300; both are mainstream assets on crypto exchanges.
Even more interesting, they also applied for a second fund called Truth Social Cronos Maximization ETF, which will invest in and stake Cronos tokens. Right now, the CRO price is about $0.07. This product is quite unique; unlike typical spot ETFs that are j

Just saw eToro's financial report data, and this trading platform's fourth-quarter profit hit a new high, with the stock price soaring by 14%. It's quite interesting; although revenue from cryptocurrencies declined, overall performance still exceeded expectations. It seems that this trading platform's diversified strategy is paying off, not relying solely on the crypto space. The market still recognizes the resilience of such comprehensive trading platforms, and this earnings report also indicates that investors remain optimistic about its long-term development.

Recently, I saw Vitalik's comments on the Layer-2 ecosystem, and it struck a chord with many people. His core point is quite straightforward: right now, too many Layer-2 solutions are just copying and pasting—taking an EVM chain, adding an optimistic bridge, setting a one-week withdrawal delay—and then claiming to be part of the Ethereum ecosystem. These kinds of excuses are gradually losing their validity.
Vitalik used a vivid analogy, saying it's like back in the day when DeFi projects competed to copy Compound's governance mechanism—everyone repeating the same pattern instead of truly think

Recently, many people have asked me about choosing a cryptocurrency wallet; today, let's discuss this topic.
Actually, there is no absolute good or bad choice when it comes to wallets; it mainly depends on your usage scenario. Having navigated this market for a long time, I’ve accumulated some experience and want to share it with everyone.
First, let's talk about exchange wallets. This type is the most convenient—you can trade directly by logging into your account, without dealing with private keys, making it especially suitable for frequent traders. But the downside is also obvious: your asse

Recently reviewing the development history of the crypto industry, I found a story of a particular figure that is especially worth noting—Wu Jihan. From graduating from Peking University in 2009 and entering the venture capital scene, to investing 900 BTC in 2011, and then founding Bitmain to become a mining hardware giant, this process took only about 8 years, and his wealth directly soared into the hundreds of millions.
I noticed that Wu Jihan’s success was not due to luck. He studied both Economics and Psychology at Peking University, immersing himself in the world of monetary theory during

Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: discussions about the altcoin season on social media have almost disappeared. According to Santiment data, the weekly mention of the word 'altseason' has dropped to its lowest point in two years. What does this indifference signify?
On the surface, altcoins are indeed taking a hit. Dogecoin has fallen nearly 75% from its cycle high, Solana has dropped over 60%, and Cardano has suffered even greater losses. Funds have long since moved out, flowing entirely into Bitcoin and stablecoins, with no one chasing after those small tokens anymore. The fear

Recently, many beginners have been asking what inscriptions are. Instead of rambling on, I’ll lay it out clearly for you.
Put simply, inscriptions are information engraved onto the smallest unit of Bitcoin—sats—using the Ordinals protocol. It can be text, images, or videos, essentially like creating a digital imprint on Bitcoin. Some people compare it to gold jewelry: Bitcoin is digital gold, and inscriptions are gold accessories—same essence, different form.
In the community, making inscriptions is called “inscribing,” derived from the English word “inscribe.” On Ethereum, it’s called “mint.”

I just realized recently that sometimes registering for overseas websites or testing SMS verification interfaces can be really troublesome. Buying a new SIM card isn't practical, so SMS verification platforms come in handy. Basically, they provide virtual numbers to receive verification codes temporarily, which protects privacy and saves effort.
I've tried quite a few, and some platforms either don't receive messages or have delays of half a day. Eventually, I found a few that work pretty well. SMS-Activate and 5SIM are the smoothest for me; verification codes usually arrive within 10 seconds,

Recently, I’ve been pondering a question: How many countries in the world are outright against cryptocurrencies? I looked up some data, and I was quite shocked.
Currently, there are 51 countries and regions that have implemented varying degrees of bans. Among them, the strictest are nine countries that have enforced a complete ban, prohibiting the production, holding, trading, and use of cryptocurrencies entirely. This list includes Algeria, Bangladesh, China, Egypt, Iraq, Morocco, Nepal, Qatar, and Tunisia.
Speaking of Tunisia, many people might ask: Can you buy cryptocurrencies in Tunisia? T

I just noticed a noteworthy Indonesian news development reported by Bloomberg. An Indonesian oil merchant’s son was sentenced for his involvement in a corruption case involving a state-owned energy company, with the amount involved reaching up to 17 billion USD.
Honestly, the issues reflected behind this incident are far more complicated than they seem on the surface. The long-standing corruption problem in Indonesia’s energy sector has been fully exposed through this case. The involvement of a reclusive merchant family that has long dominated fuel trading indicates that this kind of problem h
