The cryptocurrency world has indeed been lively these days. The performance of BTC and SHIB has attracted a lot of attention, but what’s more interesting are the major events behind the market.

A leading exchange recently made significant moves, launching a new stablecoin and holding zero-fee trading activities. A new member has joined the XRP ecosystem, indicating that ecosystem development continues to heat up. Executives from the exchange publicly expressed optimism about the crypto market outlook for 2026, implying that BTC may reach new highs. Coupled with favorable policies and regulatory environments, this has certainly given the market plenty of room for imagination.

From a macro perspective, the IMF has raised its global economic growth forecast to 3.3%, which in turn has driven a surge in gold prices. This macroeconomic warming environment is generally beneficial for risk assets like BTC, and historical experience also supports this logic.

Of course, the volatility in the crypto market has always been significant. These pieces of information are just market insights and not investment advice. If you truly want to participate, you should analyze rationally and prioritize risk management at all times.

BTC-0,41%

SHIB-2,69%

XRP-1,99%

Exchanges are again cutting leeks, zero fees sound great, but only when you actually participate do you realize how bloody it is. Don't be fooled by the 2026 all-time high; when trading BTC, set your stop-loss first. This wave of macro positive news is being hyped quite aggressively, but in the crypto world, money always flows from retail investors' pockets to the whales. The XRP ecosystem has added new members; let's see if this is truly constructive or just another air project. IMF data looks good, but when it comes to your own account plunging, no one can save you. The market is so hot that I actually feel a bit uneasy; it seems like a cooling-off is needed.

Zero fees? I've seen this trick too many times, waiting to get cut. XRP has a new member, fine, it's all just hype anyway. New all-time high in 2026? Let's survive 2025 first. IMF raising economic expectations to bullish BTC, this logic is a bit far-fetched. What senior exchange executives say, believing half of it is enough. Risk management first, this is the only reliable statement. If you're confident, you've already gone all in; if you're still hesitating. Zero fee promotions are usually just the appetizer; the fees will still be cut later. Macro positive news? The crypto world never lacks good news; what’s missing is real value. If you really want to participate, first ask yourself how much you can afford to lose.

Zero fee tricks happen every year, but only a few can really survive Bullish in 2026? You should get on board now; waiting until then, you'll just be a bagholder When IMF releases data, gold surges sharply; BTC can't keep up, which is really disappointing The ecosystem is heating up, but I remain cautious about the risks Exchanges are causing incidents every day, just afraid there might be pitfalls ahead

fundamentally speaking, the macro tailwinds are real here but everyone's sleeping on the liquidity story... zero fees + new stables = classic exchange pump setup, my students always miss this layer

Zero fees? Is the exchange trying to get us used to free transactions, waiting to charge us and bankrupt us directly? Haha Will it hit a new high in 2026? I believe so, anyway I’m not losing much right now The IMF raising growth forecasts driving gold prices soaring, and our coins are just dancing here—really interesting If this move really works out, I’ll upgrade from a rookie to a farmer Risk management first? That’s right, but I have no more risk because I have no money left

Exchanges are harvesting retail investors again, there must be other tricks behind zero fees. People say BTC will hit a new high every year, those who believe it have probably been trapped before. IMF's data is just for listening, macroeconomic good news doesn't necessarily mean a positive impact on the coin price. No matter how good the words are, you still have to hold your own money tightly. Is XRP adding a new member? No matter how hot the ecosystem gets, it still depends on real user data. It feels like the entire market is just telling stories now; whoever's story is more convincing makes the most money. 2026, right? I'll wait and see, and then evaluate at that time.

Zero fee is really ruthless, is this trying to kill other exchanges? BTC hits a new high, so I guess I should keep buying in, anyway I don’t want to miss this wave. IMF raises economic outlook? Is there another round of liquidity release behind this? Seems like something is going on. I’m not that optimistic about SHIB’s rebound, just treat it as a way to make some quick gains. The XRP ecosystem has added a new member, this guy is really building seriously, there’s something there. 2026, huh? Then I need to plan my positions carefully. After playing with coins for so many years, the biggest fear is a sudden crash after going long, so I still need to keep some cash on hand.
