xAI’s Grok chatbot suggests that Cardano (ADA) might hit a new all-time high of $3.50 in 2026, driven by regulatory improvements and ecosystem advancements. However, Changelly predicts a much lower peak of $0.582 this year.

The main theme of 2025 is the victory of the US stock market, especially AI stocks. But the founder of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, has a completely opposite view. He believes that the biggest investment story of 2025 is not in stocks, but in the collapse of currency values and the change in asset pricing benchmarks. Ray Dalio chooses to review not just a single market or hot industry, but the entire "currency—debt—market—economy" machine and how it has operated over the past year. Although the stock market appears to perform well, if we switch from the US dollar standard to the gold standard, the US stock market has actually fallen by 28%. The US dollar has depreciated against gold by as much as 39%. The biggest gain or loss in 2025: not stocks, but the value of money Dalio points out that the most undeniable fact in 2025 is: all fiat currencies are depreciating, just at different speeds. Taking the US dollar as an example, in 2025 the US dollar:

According to CoinDesk, although Bitcoin may not break the $200,000 mark by the end of 2025 as Tom Lee previously predicted, he emphasized that investors should not assume the cryptocurrency's price has already touched

Although there was breaking news over the weekend about the US invading Venezuela, everyone was worried that the market might become risk-averse due to concerns over worsening global situations. However, as the US responded quickly to the situation, the market saw a significant rally on Monday, with US stock indices once again hitting new highs. BTC started from 86,000 on Sunday and rose all the way to 94,000 USD. ETH also recovered the 3,100 USD level. Meanwhile, gold and silver also began to regain ground. The rebound and upward momentum continued on Monday, which is a normal response given the unstable global situation. Since a sharp decline on October 10, BTC has been in a downward trend on the daily chart. Yesterday marked the first time it broke through the short-term downtrend line. If BTC can stabilize above 91,000 in the next few days, it would be considered an effective breakout of the short-term downtrend. This could give it the opportunity to stabilize and challenge the long-term downtrend line, breaking the two-month downward trend.

Recently, there has been a lot of talk on Chinese social media about the "Singapore Collapse Theory," with rumors claiming that millionaires are fleeing, crypto companies are withdrawing, and luxury stores are closing. However, data shows a completely different picture: Singapore's luxury market is expected to grow by 7-9% in 2025, the number of local millionaires reaches 242,400, and domestic wealth is steadily taking over. All of this is not a decline, but an active strategic de-risking. Singapore is decisively moving away from dependence on short-term foreign speculative capital (especially some unclear sources of crypto hot money), and instead building a long-term sustainable development model supported by local wealth and strict regulatory compliance. For the crypto industry, this means the end of a "gold rush" era and the beginning of a more mature, more regulated "compliant port" era.

The world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio, has released his annual reflection, pointing out that in 2025 the biggest winner will be gold rather than US stocks, as all fiat currencies are depreciating. He also warns that AI is in the early stages of a bubble and predicts that the five major forces—debt, currency, politics, geopolitics, and technology—will reshape the global landscape. This article is compiled, translated, and written by BitpushNews. (Previous summary: Bridgewater's Dalio: My Bitcoin holdings have remained unchanged!

Fundstrat Global Advisors Co-Founder and Chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies Tom Lee made bold predictions in a recent interview, stating that Bitcoin is expected to reach a new all-time high before the end of January 2026, while also emphasizing that Ethereum is currently "seriously undervalued." Lee outlined a panoramic view of the 2026 crypto market: the first half will be volatile due to institutional position adjustments, but the second half may see a strong rally. Additionally, his company Bitmine, where he serves as Chairman, has increased its Ethereum holdings to 4.1435 million coins, accounting for 3.43% of the total supply, actively betting on the future development of the Ethereum ecosystem. This series of insights and actions provides a clear roadmap from a seasoned Wall Street observer for a market that was somewhat uncertain earlier this year.

As the United States takes action against Venezuela, the energy market strengthened on expectations of infrastructure rebuilding, driving all major US stock indices higher.

Written by: Xiao Sa Legal Team Recently, the new virtual asset regulations jointly issued by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong and the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) have attracted widespread attention in the industry. The most core change is: the previous approach of mainly regulating trading platforms is expanding to cover the entire business chain — from over-the-counter trading, investment advice, to asset management, all integrated into a unified licensing system. Many people's first reaction is "another approval process," but a close reading of the document reveals that the regulatory authorities' intention is not to create hurdles, but to establish a clear, stable, and predictable rule system. This framework not only improves upon the previous VATP system but also provides a certainty signal for institutional funds and long-term capital. In other words, Hong Kong is not contracting but paving the way for larger-scale compliant capital entry. For institutions genuinely aiming for long-term development here, the current
