Just last week, when the whole world was scolding "the bull market is over, it's all gone to zero," three "whales" sneaked in (actually swaggered in), buying up a total of 1.2 billion US dollars in a single week.
Yes, you read that right, 1.2 billion, in US dollars.
Doesn't that seem like a script that doesn't add up? What were you doing last week? Were you just following the crowd and complaining? Were you terrified into midnight urination by that needle on the K-line chart? Were you quickly selling off bloodied chips?
Don't be shy to admit it. Because the Q1 data is out: retail investo

#美军封锁霍尔木兹海峡 What impact would the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have on the global economic markets
If the US blocks the Strait of Hormuz, it will send a shockwave through the global economy. It carries about one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas shipments and is truly the "world's oil valve."
⚡️ Energy Market: Price Surge and Supply Disruptions
Disruptions in the passage through the strait have caused a sharp rise in energy prices. After the conflict erupted, Brent crude oil prices briefly surged past $119 per barrel, and after the US announced the blockade, price

As of April 14, 2026, Iran's uranium enrichment activities are in a state of "high enrichment, high stockpiles, low transparency," with its 60% enriched uranium stockpile already possessing the "critical capability" to cross the nuclear threshold in the short term.
📊 Stockpile Size and Enrichment Level
High-enrichment stockpiles: According to assessments by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the U.S., Iran currently holds about 440 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium. This is a critical material just one step away from weapons-grade (90%), theoretically sufficient to produce

Today, the cryptocurrency market has ushered in a strong rebound, with Bitcoin surging to nearly $75,000 in a single day, Ethereum rising simultaneously to break a nearly two-month high at $2,393, and mainstream coins all turning red while altcoins collectively catch up. The market quickly shifted from days of decline to a carnival mode, with funds rushing in and a wave of liquidations turning into a chorus of regret for missing out.
Retail investor sentiment has experienced rollercoaster fluctuations: yesterday, affected by the previous downward trend, retail investors were d

Hormuz is blocked, but BTC still rose? The world has finally gone crazy to look like what I’m familiar with.

#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Cryptocurrencies generally get cut in half—where exactly are they positioned right now?
In the April cryptocurrency market, it is in a spot that makes people both anxious and conflicted. Bitcoin has fallen from its historical high of $126,080 in October 2025 down to around $70,000, a pullback of nearly 47%. Altcoins have been even more brutal—Ethereum is down to about $2,200, Ripple to $1.33, Solana to $82, and the GMCI30 index tracking the global top 30 cryptocurrencies is still hovering at a low level.

If you only focus on whether Bitcoin has stabilized above a certain round number today, you might miss the more important changes happening in the crypto industry right now.
Looking at several recent news pieces together, you'll find that the main market theme is no longer just "price going up or down," but rather that regulatory expectations, protocol governance, project cash flow, and on-chain security are simulta

This time, the license is not held by our familiar native crypto projects, but by Anchorpoint, led by HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank. This shows that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has a clear approach: stablecoins must be as stable as banks.

The impact of the U.S. military blockade of the Hormuz Strait on virtual currencies demonstrates a high level of complexity. In the short term, such extreme geopolitical crises typically trigger market panic and liquidity contraction, leading to significant declines in cryptocurrencies alongside risk assets (such as U.S. stocks). However, as oil supply disruptions generate inflation expectations and distrust in traditional financial systems increases, cryptocurrencies may also experience a rebound driven by their safe-haven properties.
Below are the current main market views:

Negotiation outcome: a sour split
Under Pakistan's mediation, the US and Iran held high-level face-to-face talks on April 11-12, but ultimately failed to reach any agreement.
US stance: Vice President Vance accused Iran of refusing to accept the US "red line," with the core demand that Iran must commit not to develop nuclear weapons.
