【Blockchain Rhythm】In the past week, the precious metals market has performed remarkably well, with gold and silver both rallying, while Bitcoin has been consolidating sideways. Data shows that by the end of the week, the Bitcoin-to-silver ratio had fallen to 1104, hitting a new low since September 2023. It’s worth noting that since May alone, this ratio has been halved—down by as much as 67%, which clearly indicates the strength of silver.
The situation with gold is similar. The Bitcoin-to-gold ratio is now only 19, also hitting a low since November 2023, and has plummeted 50% compared to January. This means the "cost" of exchanging Bitcoin for gold is increasing month by month, and precious metals are once again attracting capital.
Looking back to the lowest point of the 2022 bear market, the Bitcoin-to-silver and Bitcoin-to-gold ratios were only 680 and 9, respectively. Comparing these to today’s 1104 and 19, we see an interesting phenomenon—although Bitcoin last year...

【Crypto World】ETH price movement analysis over the past 4 hours. From the timeline perspective, the price at 16:00 on the 28th slightly increased compared to 12:00, but compared to 16:00 on the 27th, it actually rebounded, though it retreated again before midnight on the 28th. Overall, it shows a large bullish candlestick pattern, with the last candlestick closing higher than it opened—indicating that the bulls are still in control.
However, the trading volume is worth noting: the volume decreases hour by hour, while the price continues to rise. This is a typical sign of bullish momentum exhaustion. Price-volume divergence often signals a potential reversal.
From a technical indicator perspective, the MACD histogram has shifted from negative to positive, indicating that the bulls are gaining strength, but no clear trend has been established yet.

Based on these data, the reference levels are as follows:
Long entry: 2903.95 (First buy point) or 2909.0 (Second

【Crypto World】With the same 0.25% fee rate and no dividends, two mainstream cryptocurrency ETFs have taken very different paths.
Taking the past year as an example, funds solely invested in Bitcoin have fallen by -16.1%, while those focused on Ethereum have plummeted by -24.9%. The gap is already quite clear, but looking ahead five years, this divergence becomes even more alarming.
The maximum drawdown for Bitcoin funds in this cycle is controlled at -32.64%, but what about Ethereum funds? They have dropped directly to -64.02%. Can you imagine? The same investment period, the same market environment—Ethereum's decline has nearly doubled.
Numbers speak the loudest. Invested $1,000 five years ago, today, the Bitcoin fund account still has $1,804, while the Ethereum fund account only has $800. This is not the worst moment; it’s just the reality. What does this reflect? It’s that compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum

DeBot Wallet recently experienced a theft incident, with some user assets being transferred abnormally. The project team quickly released a compensation registration form, and affected users can fill it out on the official website.

【ChainNews】The Trust Wallet official team has just released the latest update on the security incident involving the browser extension. Forensic investigations are still ongoing, and Google has upgraded the ticket process. The team is currently awaiting feedback on the Chrome Web Store review logs. Meanwhile, the affected remote work devices are in transit and will be sent to the security team for more in-depth inspection.
Users should pay special attention: the extension can now detect whether a wallet on the device has been compromised. If any anomalies are found, a prompt will appear. Users who see this prompt must act immediately—transfer assets to a new wallet and abandon the old one to prevent further losses. Conversely, if no prompt appears, it indicates that your device is safe, so no need to worry.
Compensation is a large undertaking. Trust Wallet has received over 2,630 claims and reimbursement requests, which is ten times the usual volume of support tickets.

【Crypto World】Dutch veteran bank ABN AMRO is making new moves in the crypto asset space. Its German subsidiary Hauck Aufhäuser Digital Custody has just received authorization under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), allowing it to provide crypto asset custody and trading services to institutional clients under a unified regulatory framework. It will also gradually expand to other EU countries.
Once MiCAR officially comes into effect on December 30, 2024, ABN AMRO will be among the first traditional financial institutions to obtain this license. This is not only a compliance breakthrough but also a significant step in opening the European financial system to digital assets.
What's more interesting is that ABN AMRO recently collaborated with DZ

The current market sentiment is bearish. Although a large trader entered a long position with $7 million leverage, the increase in open contracts and the dominance of shorts indicate a strong defensive mood.

【ChainNews】Global precious metal prices hit a record high, and this wave of enthusiasm has also spread to the blockchain.
According to the latest statistics from the RWA data platform, the tokenized commodities market has approached a scale of $4 billion. Just in the past month, this sector has grown by 11%, currently reaching $3.93 billion. What does this indicate? It shows that more and more people are starting to bring real assets onto the chain.
Among them, Tether Gold (XAUt) stands out with a market capitalization of $1.74 billion, almost half of the entire market. Following closely is Paxos Gold (PAXG), which, although slightly smaller, has a scale of $1.61 billion. These two projects almost dominate the tokenized precious metals ecosystem.
Why has this sector suddenly become popular? The core advantage is clear: on-chain trading is not limited by traditional market trading hours, allowing 24/7 trading and transfer, which is beneficial for global investors.
