Author: danny; Source: X, @agintender In the world of cryptocurrency, what truly determines victory or defeat is never the code, but the game of liquidity, power, and regulation. The rise and fall of BUSD is not a tragic tale of a stablecoin, but a financial war about how exchanges attempt to "unify the world." When BUSD was pushed onto the historical stage, it carried not only a narrative of compliance, but also Binance's ambition to reshape the stablecoin order through high-pressure tactics — by enforcing exchange rates and merging trading pairs, directly swallowing the depth of its competitors into its own ledger. The "automatic conversion" of 2022 was a textbook-level blitzkrieg; while the regulatory iron fist of Valentine's Day 2023 caused this seemingly impeccable empire to collapse in an instant. The dual nature of BUSD, the shadow-like Binance-Peg, and the misalignment of regulatory boundaries together constitute its downfall.

In the crypto world, what truly determines victory or defeat is never the code, but the game of liquidity, power, and regulation. The rise and fall of BUSD is not just a tragic story of a stablecoin, but a financial war over how exchanges attempt to "unify the world."

The 2022 "automatic conversion" was a textbook-level blitzkrieg; meanwhile, the regulatory iron fist on Valentine's Day 2023 caused this seemingly invincible empire to collapse in an instant.

The US stock market's "Santa Claus Rally" is about to begin, referring specifically to the 7-day window period that includes the last 5 trading days of each year plus the first 2 trading days of the new year. Since 1929, the S&P 500 has a 79% chance of rising, with an average return of 1.6%, and has only declined once in the past 8 years. Currently, the S&P is around 6830 points, just one step away from 7000 points. Coupled with rate cuts and AI demand, it is very reasonable for the S&P to surge to 7000 points.

How much time do you spend trying to predict the direction of the next candlestick? How many hours do you spend studying charts, dissecting narratives, tracking catalysts – all for a zero-sum game with less than 1% chance of winning?

Author: Frank, PANews Whales on Hyperliquid became the focus of on-chain transactions. Here, the drama of getting rich and returning to zero is staged every day. Digging deeper into the on-chain data, these giant whales show the style of thousands of people, some are "reverse indicators" who hold a lot of money but have been defeated repeatedly, some are "snipers" who have been lurking for half a year just to kill with one blow, and some are "cold-blooded machines" who use algorithms to harvest retail investors every second. The data strips these big players of their mysterious coat. PANews selected the five most representative addresses on Hyperliquid: including the famous "Big Brother Maji", a mysterious person suspected of having inside information, a market maker with billions of capital, and the recent "turnaround myth" and "iron head army".

Written by: Lin Wanwan Twelve minutes by car north of Singapore Changi Airport, stands Le Freeport, one of the highest security private vaults in the world, at the end of the runway. This building, costing approximately 100 million Singapore dollars, is known as the "Noxfort of Asia." With no windows, it maintains a constant temperature of 21°C and a humidity level of 55% year-round, perfectly suited for the optimal storage environment of artworks. Behind the heavily guarded iron gate lies hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gold, silver, and various rare artworks: no customs declaration is required for entry, and not a single cent in taxes is paid. Three years ago, one of Asia's youngest billionaire crypto tycoons, Wu Jihan, the founder of Bitmain, snagged this rumored vault, which cost as much as 100 million Singapore dollars, for 40 million Singapore dollars (approximately 210 million RMB). This deal was confirmed by Bloomberg at the time, and behind the buyer is the Bitcoin operated by Wu Jihan.

In the past five years, we have witnessed stablecoins becoming unpegged in multiple scenarios. From algorithm to high-leverage design, and then to the chain reaction of bank failures in the real world, stablecoins are undergoing a continuous process of trust rebuilding. In this article, we attempt to connect several landmark stablecoin de-pegging events in the crypto industry between 2021 and 2025, analyze the reasons and impacts behind them, and discuss the lessons these crises leave us.

Author: Zhang Feng We are standing at the dawn of a financial paradigm shift. The boundaries between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), once as solid as iron walls, are now being pried open by the wedge of technology. The light that shines through this gap is what we call "coin-stock linkage." However, it must be clearly recognized that the current discussions and practices regarding the linkage between cryptocurrencies and stocks in the market are merely a rudimentary stage of this grand narrative. It is akin to telegrams in relation to the internet or faxes in relation to video calls; its form is initially present but has yet to touch upon the essence. The true linkage between cryptocurrencies and stocks is not simply a matter of price correlation or asset tokenization, but a revolutionary movement based on blockchain technology, driven by the community, for global value generation, discovery, and resonance, with its ultimate form being a community-driven explosion of value. 1. Blockchain - The Cornerstone of Restructuring Asset Value Linkage To understand the future of the linkage between currency and stocks, one must first examine its birth.

Trump lambasted wind and solar power as the "century eyewash," but various data indicate that the primary cause of soaring electricity prices is the surge in power consumption from data centers and the retirement of aging coal-fired units. (Background: Trump’s iron-fisted expulsion of immigrants) Economists warn that labor conditions are deteriorating, and inflation rates could soar close to 4% next year as a consequence of their own actions. (Additional context: SoftBank invested $2 billion in Intel, and the Trump administration is reportedly considering acquiring a 10% stake in Intel to act as a national shareholder, causing a post-market pump.) Trump described wind and solar energy as the "century eyewash" on Truth Social last night (20th) and vowed to halt the approval of new projects, believing that renewable energy is driving up electricity prices in the U.S. The news immediately shook the political and energy markets. Is the spike in electricity bills really attributable to green energy? Data and supply-demand structure reveal a more complex reality. Trump strikes again at green energy: policy signals in one glance. Trump stated directly in his post: "America's foolish era has come to an end."

Moody's chief economist warns that Trump's immigration deportation policy could cause the inflation rate in the U.S. to soar to 4% next year. The reduction in immigration has led to a labor shortage, which causes wages to rise and subsequently increases costs, putting the Federal Reserve (FED) in a dilemma between raising interest rates and economic growth. Without policy adjustments, there will be sustained inflationary pressures in the coming years.

Ethereum returns with DeFi once again, Aave/Pendle/Ethena makes circular lending a leverage amplifier. Compared to the on-chain stack based on ETH during DeFi Summer, the leverage rise curve supported by stablecoins like USDe is much flatter. We may enter a warm long cycle, and the examination of on-chain protocols will be divided into two parts. The first involves more asset types, with external liquidity expected to be more abundant under the expectation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve; the second is to examine the extreme values of leverage multiples, corresponding to the process of safe deleveraging, that is, how individuals can exit safely and how the bull market will end.

After more than a decade of crypto frenzy, the wealth creation movement driven by Bitcoin's Halving every four years is no longer, replaced by intermittent point shaving of US stocks, the US dollar, and US Treasuries, with discrete hotspots linking each cycle, just like the journey from Pendle to fixed income, LST, BTCFi, Ethena, and Boros. The difficulty of becoming new money is not comparable to managing old money. The custodial institution said, whoever has money will earn money. There are three types of truly wealthy people in the crypto world: individual whales (early BTC miners, early ETH investors, DeFi Summer OGs), on-chain institutions (crypto native VCs, CEXs and public chains, and a few project parties), and the new and old giants backed by Wall Street. The custodial institutions have since differentiated, following the $3 billion financing in 2021, in 2022.

Mastercard partners with MoonPay to drive a new era of global stablecoin payments. On May 16, Mastercard announced an innovative partnership with cryptocurrency company MoonPay that will allow over 150 million merchants worldwide to conduct transactions using stablecoins. This collaboration leverages the infrastructure of the stablecoin payment company Iron, which was recently acquired by MoonPay, aiming to provide a wider range of payment options and a more convenient transaction experience for business merchants. Through this partnership, users will be able to use stablecoins for payments within the Mastercard global network, with transactions automatically converted to fiat currency, simplifying the payment process and reducing transaction costs. Despite the current uncertainty in the regulatory environment, Mastercard is actively applying stablecoin technology to various financial applications, demonstrating its strong confidence and long-term planning in the cryptocurrency payment space. In summary, this initiative not only provides greater payment flexibility for global enterprises and merchants but also opens up new possibilities for the application of stablecoins in the global payment arena. Conclusion: The collaboration between Mastercard and MoonPay is undoubtedly a significant move in the cryptocurrency payment sector. It not only marks the recognition and acceptance of stablecoins by traditional financial giants but also signifies the increasingly important role that cryptocurrency plays in the global payment system. Despite the uncertainty of regulation hanging over us like the sword of Damocles, Mastercard's proactive layout has paved the way for the widespread application of stablecoins. This collaboration may lead to a new round of transformation in the payment industry, and in the future, we may witness a more convenient, efficient, and globalized new era of payments.
