Recent data shows that US tariff policies are reshaping the economic landscape, with the trade deficit shrinking by 60%, GDP growth rate stabilizing at 4.3%, and inflationary pressures easing.

Short-term interest rates may face pressure, but in the long run, the economic fundamentals are favorable for risk assets.

【BlockBeats】There's an interesting trading case worth discussing. A smart money address "RN1" has performed remarkably well on the prediction market Polymarket—initially investing only $1,000 at the beginning of the year, it has now accumulated profits of over $2 million. This number sounds exaggerated, but the underlying trading logic is actually very worth studying.
This address has participated in over 13,000 predictions this year, mainly focused on the sports sector, with a single trade yielding a maximum profit of $129,000. At first glance, it might seem like a prediction expert, but the actual situation is more interesting.
According to analyses from some seasoned traders, the true strategy of this smart money is not making money through precise predictions of sports events. Instead, it exploits the price discrepancies caused by the automated market maker (AMM) on the Polymarket platform for arbitrage. Simply put, within the same market, prices at different times can have slight deviations, and they use high-frequency...

A leading exchange launched a 20% annualized deposit promotion with USD1, triggering a large-scale currency swap among users and causing the USD1 price to rise. Funds flowed into the Lista DAO lending market for arbitrage, with some traders selling BTC on the illiquid BTC/USD1 pair to push down the price. CZ clarified that he did not participate in the trading, and the market's self-healing ability was strong, preventing a liquidation cascade.

【BitPush】According to the latest predictions from multiple Ethereum developers and researchers, 2026 will become a critical turning point for Ethereum to achieve exponential performance breakthroughs through zero-knowledge proof technology. This upgrade is as significant as the 2022 merge (from PoW to PoS), fundamentally changing the blockchain validation mechanism.
How thorough will the future changes be? Ethereum researcher Justin Drake envisions that validators will no longer need to re-execute each transaction to verify block validity but will instead directly verify zero-knowledge proofs. This may sound abstract, but the actual effect is straightforward—Layer 1 throughput will experience a qualitative leap. Currently, the Ethereum mainnet can handle about 30 transactions per second, with a goal of reaching 10,000 TPS.
Hardware requirements will also decrease significantly. Drake demonstrated during the developer conference that a single old laptop could

Bitcoin prices are closely related to market liquidation pressure. Falling below $87,000 will increase the long liquidation risk to $7.63 billion, while breaking through $90,000 will amplify the short liquidation pressure to $4.02 billion.
