The M&A market just hit a jaw-dropping milestone. In 2025, there were 68 mega-deals—each over $10 billion—which nearly doubled the prior year's count and blew past the combined total of 2023 and 2024 put together. Pretty wild, right? The last time we saw anything close to this was back in 2015 with 62 deals. What's happening in global capital markets isn't just noise—it's reshaping how institutional money moves. When you're seeing this kind of consolidation activity spike, it typically signals major confidence shifts in the market cycle. Whether it's tech, finance, or traditional sectors, thes

A major shift in precious metals supply dynamics just took effect. Starting from January 1st, stricter export regulations on silver have been implemented, signaling tighter control over strategic material outflows. This move reshapes the global silver supply chain and could ripple through mining operations, semiconductor manufacturing, and industrial applications that depend on reliable metal sourcing. For the crypto ecosystem, particularly mining operations relying on energy infrastructure and equipment manufacturing, such commodity policy shifts warrant attention as they influence production

ACHR Monthly Analysis
The pattern here is textbook—higher highs, higher lows. When you've got that kind of structure holding up, it tells you something's under control, at least for now.
What caught my attention is the confluence zone we're sitting in right now. You're looking at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level lining up perfectly with the 20-month simple moving average. That's the kind of technical setup where price tends to respect boundaries.
Honestly? I'm not sure which direction this wants to break yet. But here's what matters—we're parked at a legitimate support area. If the higher

My investment playbook comes down to a few core principles that keep me disciplined across market cycles.
First, I focus on assets showing strong conviction—tokens in genuine uptrends on solid higher timeframes, not just noise on the 4H chart. The structure matters. Once I've identified that bullish setup, patience becomes everything. I wait for pullbacks to meaningful support levels, those higher lows where smart money typically accumulates. FOMO kills portfolios; timing pullbacks wins them.
The hardest part? Not panicking when drawdowns hit. Markets breathe. But here's what separates winners

Fresh start ahead.
Took some time away to recharge, but stayed plugged in the whole time—reading through all the updates, genuinely grateful for the community's input, and thankful to see devs staying in the thick of it building.
What makes this ecosystem strong? It's simple: people actually showing up and putting in the work. This is day one all over again, and there's plenty to do. Let's build. 🫡

A major Bitcoin mining operation has taken a $3.5 billion hit on its balance sheet. According to current metrics, they'd need ETH to rally to around $3,900 just to reach breakeven on their positions. The gap between current levels and their target price tells an interesting story about where institutional players are positioned and how macro conditions are affecting mining profitability.

Putting A2Z and PEPE together is actually quite interesting.
One is serious about development, and the other doesn’t even pretend. **A2Z**’s approach is very clear—ecosystem construction, application implementation, long-term imagination space. Its price fluctuations are relatively stable, as if paving the way for the future step by step. In contrast, **PEPE** is all about memes, sentiment, and consensus—its price movements mainly depend on market atmosphere. Whether there’s real value or not is secondary.
From an investment experience perspective, those who choose A2Z usually can hold steady—

Is the crack in dollar hegemony really being torn open by insiders?
On the scale of 34 trillion in debt, U.S. bond yields are soaring, and this once cornerstone of the financial world is now under unprecedented pressure. Meanwhile, the most敏锐 funds have begun to quietly shift away. This resembles a global capital "invisible migration."
Will history repeat itself? The story of the British pound falling from its throne as the global reserve currency is playing out again on the dollar? The flow of capital seems to be subtly signaling something.
Interestingly, every time cracks appear in the tradi

Discipline always comes before market conditions.
These days, I keep seeing posts like "tenfold in three days," to be honest, I'm numb to it already. Having been in this circle for 8 years, I've seen countless myths of overnight wealth, but even more stories of overnight liquidation. Starting from an initial 2000U to now managing a 1 million U account, I haven't relied on insider information nor gambled on black swan events; I’ve simply stuck to three ironclad rules to survive until now.
Today, I want to open my heart and share what I’ve summarized over the years, maybe it can help you avoid t

The project just rolled out mobile support—now you can manage everything on the go. What's equally impressive is the developer token lockup structure: all dev tokens are locked for a full year. This kind of commitment shows the team is aligned with long-term value creation rather than chasing quick exits. Mobile accessibility combined with solid tokenomics fundamentals sets up nicely for broader adoption.

Talking about Qtum, one cannot help but mention its most unique feature — it has ingeniously integrated the advantages of both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
From a technical architecture perspective, Qtum introduces an Account Abstraction Layer (AAL), enabling seamless cooperation between Bitcoin's UTXO model and Ethereum's EVM smart contracts. What does this mean? It means you can enjoy the security, double-spend resistance, and high-efficiency parallel validation brought by Bitcoin's UTXO, without sacrificing Ethereum's flexible programmable ecosystem. For enterprise applications and developers, thi

$USELESS has risen 18% over the 4-hour cycle, definitely attracting a lot of attention. But a closer look at the chart reveals that things are not that simple.
Trading volume plummeted by 92.5%—this number is very eye-catching. On the 4-hour chart, the RSI approaching overbought does seem strong, but once you switch to the 1-hour and 15-minute charts, you'll see that the price has already flattened out. This is a classic case of stagnation, simply put, the main force pushed the price up but no one followed. A coin called "Useless," the market might really be honestly warning everyone.

There's an old saying: the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is today. I have personally experienced the meaning of this phrase.
Ten years ago, when I heard about Bitcoin, my mind was filled with "This is definitely a scam." Because of this ingrained perception, I watched this cycle rise, thinking it's over, and wondered if I was just a latecomer to the game.
But that's not really the case. Recently, this correction feels more like a chance for a retake. Those who got in early might regret buying at high prices, but should I jump in now? The timing is actual

What will the Federal Reserve do in 2026? How many rate cuts will there be? This is currently the hottest topic in the market.
As of early January, the Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate remains steady at 3.50%-3.75%. Although a rate cut was symbolically implemented at the end of 2025, it was only a 25 basis point reduction, followed by a statement of "no rush." The latest December dot plot shows the median expectation of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is that rates may only fall to around 3.4% by the end of 2026. In other words, the entire year might see only one minor rate c

Do you try buying Bitcoin every January 1st?
It sounds simple, but there's an interesting logic behind this strategy—locking in BTC positions at the start of the new year to establish a regular purchasing rhythm. Regardless of market conditions, this moment at the beginning of the year enforces a forced position build-up.
In the long run, this regular dollar-cost averaging approach can effectively lower the average cost. During periods of high volatility, you naturally buy at lower points; although single purchases may be more expensive at peaks, the overall cost structure remains balanced. Th

#数字资产动态追踪 Solana's recent rally broke through beautifully, and the technical target has been successfully reached or even exceeded expectations. $SOL's performance indeed did not disappoint holders; the rhythm is spot on. It seems that the judgment of this target level is still solid, and being able to hit such key points accurately in the crypto market is indeed not easy.

There's an interesting case from roughly 10 months ago: a developer managed to turn a $707 position into $6.7 million in just 23 minutes trading $Broccoli. While this kind of explosive return is extremely rare and tied to specific market conditions and timing, it highlights how volatile emerging tokens can be. Such scenarios often involve high-risk, high-reward trades during liquidity spikes or pump events. For traders exploring altcoins, this serves as a reminder about both the potential upside and the inherent dangers—timing and risk management are everything in these situations.

The Federal Reserve's moves are about to clear the fog—does the room for rate cuts really still exist?
After the news on January 2, 2026, the Fed still kept interest rates at the 3.50%-3.75% range, only cutting 25 basis points at the end of the year before starting to brake. No matter how loud the market calls for easing, the central bank clearly has no intention of following suit this time.
The December dot plot data makes it very clear: Fed officials expect only another 25 basis points cut for the whole year, with the final rate likely to be around 3.4%. In other words, this is just a slight

Been thinking about the Swole Doge meme space on Pump—seems wild that there's no proper Swole Doge token yet, considering the whole meme is literally about Doge being the chad and Cheems (or Bonk, depending on which version you follow) representing the other side. The character alignment feels off without it.
So I reached out to the original creator to float the idea. Honestly, if someone's bringing an IP character to life on a platform like this, the creator should be the one capturing those fees—seems only fair that the person behind the meme gets a cut when it gains traction. Makes sense fr
