Today, five projects emerged simultaneously, and certainty began to stratify, with stratification directly determining where the money should go. TxFlow is the only one that has crossed into the "Confirmed" stage. Participation belongs to the transaction category, and the entry is still open now. This is not the same as filling out forms or following; it requires real money on-chain interaction. Conversely, precisely because it is costly, the filtered users are cleaner, and their future weight is usually higher. If you want to participate, first calculate the interaction frequency and the margin of fund safety. The other four are still at the "Potential Clues" level. Fomo has raised about 94 million USD, the most prominent in this batch, using role acquisition, mainly consuming time rather than money. Beezie raised about 4 million USD to build a task reward platform interaction, and Flop Labs only requires filling out forms. These two are early layout probes, not to be taken as guaranteed returns. The one to watch most closely is legend.trade. It has downgraded from "Confirmed" back to "Potential Clues," but its heat has actually increased. Downgrade in status and rise in heat—such divergence rarely happens without reason. The market is focused on its approximately 5 million USD fundraising background. The volatility of BTC and ETH directly affects the actual cost of transaction-type tasks. The airdrop density in the SOL ecosystem has also always been high. When lying in wait, it’s better to keep mainstream asset positions on hand rather than going empty-handed and rushing in recklessly. Especially watch $BTC, as it is the anchor of interaction costs. The fundraising amount is only a reference and does not equal an airdrop commitment. Before the stage leap, keep light positions, low frequency, and closely monitor task paths. My view first: ETH's current position is being propped up by contracts, while spot funds have actually been flowing out continuously. I have no confidence in how long this kind of support can last. These past two days, ETH is the most conflicted one I've been watching. On the contract side, about $46.5 million was liquidated in 24 hours, with over 70% being short positions. The shorts have been repeatedly wiped out. But on the ETF side, on 10/26 and 10/27 combined, there was a net outflow of $149 million. BlackRock's ETHA alone withdrew nearly $200 million, while Fidelity added a bit, but it didn't cover the outflow. The price is stuck in the middle, around 2,355, not moving at all. At 2 a.m. during the Fed announcement, I actually couldn't stay up, so I caught up in the morning. After the meeting, ETH surged past 2,390 once, but quickly came back down. Looking at the 1-hour chart, the price is grinding near the middle Bollinger Band, RSI just above 50, and MACD hugging the zero line. To put it bluntly, no one wants to make the first move. One thing I've been thinking about repeatedly is: who is providing the money when shorts are liquidated? It's not spot buyers. The ETF numbers for those two days are clear. So it must be the longs in the contracts. On OKX, the long-to-short ratio for ETH is now 2.38, compared to 2.24 24 hours ago—while shorts are being liquidated, retail longs are still increasing. Looking at open interest: on the evening of 10/28, ETH contract open interest dropped from around $1.9 billion to below $1.8 billion, but the price barely fell. My understanding is that part of this is shorts stopping out.The Federal Reserve did not raise interest rates early this morning, but the market is already betting on a rate hike in December 📅 According to CME FedWatch, after the announcement, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in December is about 87.5%, up from 81.4% before the result. Bets on Polymarket also rose from about 77% to 82%. Chairman Powell said at the press conference that "tackling inflation is not about focusing on a specific date on the calendar," and also admitted that "price stability has not yet been achieved." So the next key point is very close: tonight at 20:30 (Beijing time), the US will simultaneously release Q3 GDP and September PCE inflation data. Inflation data provider Truflation expects September PCE year-on-year at 3.6%, compared to 3.4% in August. This morning at 08:37 (Beijing time), OKEx spot $BTC was about 81,184 USDT, up about 0.5% in 24 hours. My understanding: the rate decision just postponed the suspense by one month; tonight's data will determine how fully priced December is. If PCE is hotter than expected, rate hike bets will be stronger, and assets like $BTC that fear high interest rates may take a hit first; if cooler, it might be a breather window. For tonight's PCE, do you guess it will be above or below 3.6%? Personal opinion, not investment adviceSamson Mow transferred out 2.5 $BTC, leaving a Liquid reserve shortfall of 600 coins Sometimes in the $BTC community, what’s most worth paying attention to isn’t how much a whale buys, but the significance behind a small transfer. According to provided information, JAN3 CEO Samson Mow sent a 2.5 BTC test transaction to the Liquid consortium wallet, reducing the reserve shortfall to 600 BTC. To get to the point: this 2.5 $BTC is a test transaction and should not be directly interpreted as him replenishing a large amount of reserves at once. But such actions are still worth noting because they involve reserve management and asset transfer verification within the Liquid ecosystem. For Bitcoin-related networks, whether assets can be safely transferred, whether reserve information is transparent, and whether related mechanisms operate normally are far more important issues than simply calling for price increases. Especially when market volatility intensifies and investor trust in trading platforms and custodians declines, reserve issues can easily become a market focus. Of course, the reserve shortfall of 600 BTC means the matter is not completely resolved. The specific reserve status, shortfall calculation method, and subsequent replenishment arrangements all require further verification. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 #SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 #RobinhoodQ3营收增长，净利润下降 Four tubes, after the resolution all valves closed, resolution landed BTC ETF net inflow of 16.08 coins about 1.3 million, rebound momentum stopped for five days: out 7562, fill 1376, 2196, latest shrink 16.08; cumulative net inflow 723,700 coins, net value 107.359 billion. ETH continuously out 25909, 38048, latest inflow 1958 coins about 4.6 million, stopped bleeding but no rebound; cumulative 12.534 billion vs BTC 57.926 billion, channel narrow. SOL outflow or zero for five days, latest outflow 56274 coins, cumulative net outflow 771,300 coins, only ZEC has no ETF channel, heat relies on contracts and spot, wild temperament. This line sets the rhythm not the direction, waiting for tonight's GDP/PCE to make a move again, hands stop not rushing to run When I saw this message, the first thought in my mind wasn't "how much can it rise," but a question newcomers often ask me: Since you are optimistic about the price two years from now, why not just open a contract and hold it? Lao Ma wants to clarify this: being right about the destination doesn't mean you can endure the journey. According to PANews quoting Cointelegraph, American real estate investor Grant Cardone proposed a $1 million bet to angel investor and Bitcoin critic Jason Calacanis, wagering that $BTC will reach or exceed $126,210.50 by October 28, 2028. My judgment is that such a long-term target price has limited reference value for contract position management. The bet focuses on whether the target is met within the timeframe, but contracts have to face every fluctuation along the way; the higher the leverage, the less room there usually is for price reversals. These are not the same issue. 📌 Using the target price from the material as an example: if Bitcoin falls midway causing the long position margin to be insufficient and gets liquidated, and then later rises to $126,210.50, that position won't be there anymore. This is just a scenario analysis. A million-dollar bet also can't tell us how much principal to risk. Newcomers often mistake "I believe in this target" for "my position can hold until the target." I prefer to first ask how much drawdown you can endure before discussing long-term predictions. If there's any part you still don't understand: why can a long-term bullish view still lead to an early exit from a long contract? Leave a comment about where you're stuck.Has Wall Street just changed its tune? The "scale difference" of ETF fund inflows is more worth watching than the direction ETF data on October 21 did show a directional reversal, but when broken down, the structure is much more complex than "all three major coins turning positive simultaneously." $BTC: $525 million in a single day, but this is not a "small inflow." In terms of volume, it is indeed the main force, but the outflow holes from the previous two weeks have not been fully filled yet. The net inflow over the past 7 days is about $513 million overall, indicating an improvement in fund absorption. If inflows rapidly decline in the following days, it suggests this is more of a one-time replenishment rather than a trend reversal to bullish.‌ $ETH: Turned positive, but internal differentiation is obvious ETH ended five consecutive days of outflows, turning to a net inflow of $14.95 million. The products offset each other internally, so the quality of the overall positive net inflow is not high. $SOL: A "positive" inflow at the $580,000 level, limited reference value The net inflow for SOL spot ETFs on the day was only $585,300, which is almost negligible compared to SOL’s market cap and average daily trading volume. Among the "three major coins turning positive simultaneously," this tends to exaggerate the signal strength.‌ Regarding the Federal Reserve: Standing pat, but divergences are narrowing "No change" itself is not incremental information; the direction of internal divergences is. If hawkish voices continue to grow, the rhythm of fund inflows into risk assets may be interrupted.‌ Rather than judging "breakthrough or pullback," it’s better to track two verifiable variables This is only a market record and does not constitute investment advice. #微软Azure增长43%，AI商业化能否提速？ ETF单日净流入1.115亿美元，这是连续两天流出后的第一次转正。资金在悄悄加仓吗？ 先说新闻。资金侧：最新单日净流入1.115亿（前一天净流出3,260万）、5日净流出2,870万（小幅转负）、10日净流入3.082亿（继续扩大）。价格侧：BTC报80,948.4美元，24小时 +0.49%、近一周 -4.25%；20日区间79,220.1到84,899.6。情绪侧：恐惧贪婪指数从48回升到51。宏观侧：美元指数102.43（+0.10%）、黄金4,065.7（+0.68%）、标普500 7,722.6（+0.60%）。 再看资金影响。三个口径要分开看：单日转正说明当天买盘占优；5日小幅转负说明最近一周资金基本持平；10日继续扩大说明月度资金仍在流入。这种短期震荡、中期流入的结构，通常是筹码换手而非趋势反转。 对BTC的含义：资金面没有恶化，只是在震荡中换手。真正需要警惕的是10日口径转负——目前+3.082亿，还很安全。所以这轮调整更像是周线级别的回撤，而不是新一轮熊市。 我接下来盯四个指标：一是单日流入能否连续；二是5日口径能否转正；三是10日口径是否继续扩大；四是BTC能否站上【Crypto Circle Script】 #谷歌云业务增长82%，AI投入回报如何？ Google really seems a bit wronged here They are investing in AI Cloud business is also growing But when the earnings report came out The stock price slapped back immediately? But thinking carefully This matter is really not that simple Cloud business growth Sounds impressive indeed But the problem is The hotter AI gets, the more money Google has to pour in Data centers need to be built Chips need to be bought Computing power must keep expanding Revenue has gone up But investments are also continuously increasing What the market really worries about Is not that Google can't make money now But how much profit can be recovered in the future from all this money spent What's more interesting is AI brings new growth to Google on one hand On the other hand, it might change the way search makes money Previously, users searched for things Google made money through ads In the future, users will ask AI directly Can ads still maintain their original monetization efficiency? So the current AI market Is no longer just about whose technology is better It’s also about who can turn technology into profit Who can maintain their cash flow while investing crazily What do you think Is Google's recent drop an overreaction by the market Or has capital finally started seriously calculating the AI account? $BTC 📉 Today, $BTC and ETH are generally consolidating sideways, with volatility even weaker than over the weekend. BTC has repeatedly tested the 80,000 level but was met with resistance and pulled back, indicating significant pressure at this level. It is not easy to firmly break above it in the short term. 💰 On October 26, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $110.3 million, but this appears more like a phase of temporary inflow and cannot be directly interpreted as a bullish signal. Previously, on last Thursday and Friday combined, there was a net outflow of $774 million. Funds have yet to form a sustained net inflow, so ETF data should continue to be closely monitored. ⚠️ Ethereum’s funding situation is weaker: on October 26, spot ETFs had a net outflow of $88.6 million. It is clearly diverging from BTC; occasional net inflows are only a few million dollars, while outflows often reach tens or even hundreds of millions, indicating an overall "bleeding". 🧭 When market uncertainty is high, funds prefer to allocate to BTC rather than ETH or other high-risk assets. $ETH’s current trend is weak; only a genuine improvement in funding can strengthen its rebound; otherwise, any rise may remain lackluster. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 #SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 Seeing this message, my first reaction was a bit discouraged: it turns out that even if the code can run, there are still so many hurdles before a protocol can truly survive. I've only been in the circle for a year, and I used to think "waiting for the mainnet launch" was much simpler 🤔 Diva Staking announced a gradual shutdown and will not launch the mainnet. The team said funds will be exhausted by mid-2024, after which three members will continue development without income or salary for about two and a half years, but ultimately it will be difficult to sustain. Early stakers who pre-deposited in the treasury can withdraw funds from Enzyme. What I understand is that this is more like a sustainability alarm, and we can't directly conclude that the entire liquid staking sector is failing. According to the team, Hoodi ran for four months without faults but lacked major participants to help launch the mainnet: technical feasibility does not guarantee that launch resources will be in place. New audits and ongoing maintenance also require continuous funding; it’s not just handing in the homework on launch day and done. I actually agree with their choice not to force it. Normal test runs don’t prove that complex protocols are free of vulnerabilities. However, AI makes vulnerabilities easier to find, which worries the team, but I can’t yet judge that audits have become unreliable based on this. I still haven’t figured out how ordinary users can distinguish between "temporarily out of funds" and "no longer able to operate safely." I’d like to ask experienced project evaluators: when looking at such protocols, which public information best indicates whether the team has the capacity to continuously bear audit and maintenance costs?Next, keep an eye on these two things; they're more useful than watching the K-line First, whether there will be a rate hike in December — some are already pushing for it in the decision-making, oil prices are still stuck above $100, and inflation isn't cooperating; second, the U.S. midterm elections on November 3rd, where WLFI and 1789 Capital, linked to the Trump family, are already stockpiling lawyers and lobbyists, fearing the Democrats might come back to investigate. Plus, when Mt.Gox will release the remaining batch of coins, and whether the November ETF funds can be renewed. CryptoQuant's bottom line is between 73,500 and 77,600. My view? Don't guess the direction; first, consider whether you can withstand a 20% fluctuation.Altcoins have no chance, money is flowing back into BTC Today the fear and greed index is stuck in the neutral zone at 45–51, neither panicking nor excited. BTC market dominance is around 60%, leading altcoins by over 6 percentage points in the past 30 days: ETH -9.4%, SOL -10.6%, DOGE -12%, ADA -13%, LINK has dropped to around $11.5 looking for support, NEAR is holding at 4.3. Only XMR and BNB stubbornly turned positive again. PEPE surged 9%–13% last night following the chip stocks sentiment spike; this kind of pure sentiment bounce comes fast and goes even faster.#谷歌云业务增长82%，AI投入回报如何？ “谷歌云增长82%”其实是2026年Q2数据；最新Q3云业务已增长103%，收入307亿美元，营业利润111亿美元，营业利润率升至36.2%，AI投入在云侧已经开始兑现。 回报质量不差：云业务增速显著高于AWS、Azure，TPU外销和AI基础设施需求共同拉动，盈利改善快于收入增长。但整体回报仍不均衡：广告收入低于预期，资本开支高达514亿美元，自由现金流转为-91亿美元，导致盘后股价大跌。 更准确地说，谷歌的AI回报是“云已验证、广告未跟上、现金流承压”。接下来要看2027年资本开支继续上行时，云收入能否持续覆盖折旧和算力成本，以及AI搜索广告能否补上广告端缺口。MicroStrategy (Strategy) launches "daily interest payment" Bitcoin stocks Saylor has a new move: the special shareholders' meeting on the 28th preliminarily approved changing the four Bitcoin preferred stocks STRC, STRF, STRK, and STRD to daily interest calculation, including weekends and holidays. STRC will start on November 1, and the other three will follow on January 1 next year. The interest rates remain unchanged (STRC annualized 12%, STRF/STRD 10%, STRK 8%), but the "money flavor" is made to roll daily like a money market fund. Simply put, the goal is to package BTC as an "interest-bearing cash substitute"—the addiction is growing stronger.ETF has recovered some funds, but don't treat it as "true love" On the 26th (Sunday's data), the spot BTC ETF had a net inflow of $110.3 million, all taken by BlackRock IBIT alone, with others at zero; on the 27th, another $176 million came in, with IBIT taking $151.5 million, totaling $286 million over two consecutive days. However, for the entire October, it still showed a slight net outflow (depending on different statistics, about -$170 million to -$26 million), with a single-day outflow of $635 million on October 22. Funds have flowed back, but it seems more like a cautious lick rather than a fierce rush.“Uptober” really crashed this year It's quite awkward: Bitcoin has still dropped 4.2% this month as of the 25th (83600→80051), clearly about to close October in the red for the second consecutive year—between 2020 and 2024, October averaged about an 18% gain. CryptoQuant says the 30-day "apparent demand" has fallen to negative 76,000 BTC; since October 14th, new buyers have been absorbing coins slower than miners are producing them. Coinbase premium hasn't been positive all month, hitting -0.146 on the 24th, Americans aren't taking delivery, and pricing power has shifted back to Asia and offshore.DTCC launched its tokenization service yesterday. I translated the participant notice and feel the phrase "around the clock" should be taken with a grain of salt. Among the first 20 signatories are JPMorgan, Citi, Fidelity, and Citadel. After securities become tokens, they can indeed be transferred day and night, even on weekends, but only between whitelisted wallets, and only on the Canton chain and DTCC's own private Besu network; other networks will have to wait until next year. At first, I also thought this meant US stocks were on-chain and could be accessed anytime. But looking further, the exchange between original securities and tokens is only accepted Monday to Friday from 2 PM to 6 PM Eastern Time. Currently, that translates to 2 PM to 6 AM Beijing Time, with no service on weekends. So if something happens over the weekend, tokens can be transferred within the whitelist, but to convert back to the original stocks, you have to wait until Monday. I also didn't find New York Mellon or Goldman Sachs on the whitelist. From what I see, this step tokenizes securities rights held in DTC custody, but we're still far from retail investors being able to directly access on-chain US stocks. If someday the conversion step also operates 24/7 including weekends, then I'll admit I was premature. #美加稳定币监管推进，社区银行获邀入场 The Fed "holds steady," giving Bitcoin a breather In the early morning, the Fed kept the interest rate at 3.75%–4.00%, with 10 votes in favor and 2 votes for a hike, basically in line with market expectations. BTC pulled back from around 80,000 to about 81,200 USD (+around 0.6%), ETH followed with a 1% rise. Don't rush to call a reversal—the price briefly fell below 84,000 before the decision, and it was only after short sellers were forced to cover about 110 million USD that the price was pushed back up; the entire market saw liquidations exceeding 167 million. This rebound, supported by a short squeeze, has a foundation thinner than paper.$BTC The Federal Reserve kept the interest rate unchanged at 3.75%–4% last night, but 2 out of 12 votes favored an immediate rate hike. Despite such a hawkish signal, BTC only fluctuated by 1.37% in the 6 hours following the decision. In the past 14 rate decisions, the average volatility during the same period was 2.38%, with only one instance showing less movement than this time. The leverage chart from last night also matched up: the highest surge was 1.16%, the lowest pullback was 0.21%, longs and shorts within 50x leverage are still active, while 100x shorts have already been liquidated. The hawkish votes didn’t scare the price, but "no movement" doesn’t mean "safe"; tonight the US will release Q3 GDP. Not investment advice | Data: OKX BTC-USDT 1-hour chart; Decision source: Federal Reserve statement #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 I have a long position in $BTC with an average price of $83,030, no adding to the position, and no chasing in the middle of the range. A) Holding above $82,007, the resistance above is the descending trendline at $83,946, which is still dropping; if it falls back below $80,849, it becomes invalid. B) Breaking below the ascending trendline at $80,018 (which is still rising), the next level is $79,220; if it climbs back above $80,849, it becomes invalid. The $81,051 level has been tested 13 times, held 6 times, broken 5 times, and no reaction 2 times. In 46.8 hours, shorts liquidated $10.73 million, longs $4.64 million, indicating the shorts above have been swept once. On October 29, there is the Federal Reserve rate decision and US PCE inflation data; I won’t guess the outcome, the price may not follow the usual pattern. If it rebounds near $83,946, I will take half profits first and move the stop loss to the cost price of $83,030. Which side do you lean towards? #OKXTraderVoices Two Fed members voted for a rate hike, yet BTC options volatility barely moved, this calmness looks a bit fake The statement kept rates steady at 3.75%–4%, Cook and Hammack immediately wanted to raise by 25 basis points, and the CME December rate hike probability rose to about 82.6%. Logically, a hawkish stance should have caused some jitter. But Deribit's DVOL basically stuck around 37.5 before and after the statement, Coinbase only rose 0.33% from the statement to evening, hovering roughly between 80600 and 81234 in the first hour. Spot is still around 81200 now, with a 24h high of 81823 and low of 80397. The overnight candle didn’t widen either. I think it looks more like "priced in long ago," not a sudden influx of buying. Volatility not rising and price not moving far means everyone is waiting for the next move, not rushing to take sides. First, see if 81000 holds; if 1H closes below 80500, this "calm" act is over, then watch for a move down to 80000. Do you think it’s truly digested, or will volatility explode a bit later? $BTC $ETH #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 The supply side of Bitcoin is shifting, but only halfway. On October 26, exchanges saw a net inflow of 7,278 BTC, which flipped to a net outflow of 12,702 BTC on the 27th — a complete turnaround in one day. The 7-day net outflow was 4,633 BTC, and the 30-day net outflow was 4,048 BTC. Although there were 4 days of net inflows in the past 7 days, the overall trend has tilted toward withdrawing coins. With fewer coins on exchanges, there are naturally fewer spot assets available to sell. Derivatives are not as optimistic. The funding rate is 0.00762%, higher than the 7-day and 30-day averages, indicating longs are still paying to maintain positions, reflecting a relatively hot sentiment. Open interest stands at $25.67 billion, up 0.56% over 7 days and 0.33% over 30 days, showing leverage has neither increased nor decreased. While spot is flowing out, the money on the contract side hasn’t left, showing a divergence in direction. The key focus should be on long-term holders. SOPR dropped from 1.1657 to 1.0124, approaching the breakeven point of 1. This indicator measures the profit multiple when old coins are sold; the closer it is to 1, the thinner the selling of the most steadfast holdings. In other words, fewer people are willing to give up their old coins at this price level, pushing the psychological price higher. Putting it all together, the outlook is neutral: supply improvement is a fact, and the high funding rate is also a fact, canceling each other out. The real signal will come when two things happen simultaneously — net outflows continuously expand, and the funding rate falls below the average. Until then, $BTC looks more like it’s sideways consolidating rather than preparing for a breakout.PEPE rose about 10% in the past 24 hours, with the nominal value of contract positions nearly 46% higher than the same hour yesterday, and the current fee rate at +0.01%. At 08:46 on OKX, the spot price was 0.000005056, with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $45.3 million. The nominal value of contract positions recorded at 07:00 was about $48.39 million, compared to about $33.17 million at 07:00 yesterday. The current price has pulled back about 3.5% from the 24-hour high of 0.0000052374. My judgment is that the rise is accompanied by an expansion of open interest risk exposure, and next we need to see how these positions are digested. Since positions are measured by nominal value, price increases themselves will also raise this figure; it does not distinguish the long or short direction of new positions. The +0.01% fee rate alone cannot confirm crowding on the long side. I am more focused on the close and open interest of the next full hour. If the price approaches 0.0000052374 again and open interest continues to increase, then we will see if the fee rate rises significantly; if the price falls back below 0.0000050 while open interest remains high, the leverage risk during the pullback will become more prominent. $PEPE Robinhood closed at 91.43 the day after releasing its earnings report, down 3.3% from 94.56 the previous day. Since last April, this marks the seventh consecutive time the stock closed lower the day after earnings. The opening was even worse, with a direct drop of 5.6%, opening at 89.23. It then gradually recovered, closing 2.5% higher than the opening price. The options bet on a roughly 10% move up or down, but the actual drop was only 3.3%, much smaller than the bet. Both predictions in the outlook were correct. Earnings per share came in at 0.51, below the expected 0.555, and the stock also closed lower the next day. The 4 cents difference from my estimate of 0.55 was due to taxes; the unrealized loss on RVI didn’t offset the tax much. Both 'No' bets won: the beat expectation averaged 18.4 cents, and the next day’s rise was 67 cents per share.困死了，美联储10月议息结果出来了，和我之前说的一样：10月不加息，12月加息。 利率维持3.75%-4%不变，投票10:2，Cook和Hammack两位投了反对票要求再加25个基点。美联储说法：经济增长强、失业率稳、消费还旺，但通胀仍偏高，加之地缘局势不确定，继续坚守2%目标。整体基调偏鹰，确实给12月加息留了口子，市场基本都price in了。 加密初步反应很平淡，大饼还在8万上方（8.1万附近）震荡，上下杠杆夹击没变。短期利空出尽，不用太担心，但12月“鹰派悬顶”+中期选举结果才是接下来真正变量。还是那句话：0杠杆，现货慢慢拿就行，别被震荡洗出去。本来想今晚熬夜操作加密的，结果BTC表现很淡定… $BTC $ETH $ZEC The oil pot has just been taken off the heat, yet the valve at the Strait of Hormuz is still being pressed down by a military boot—Brent at $109.74/barrel, WTI at $99.50/barrel, this ladle is far from a light broth. Iran's Supreme Leader has set conditions for a ceasefire, and warnings are coming from the Gulf direction; the kitchen is like it’s simultaneously on fire and ventilating: on one side skimming off diplomatic foam, on the other side guarding against military chili oil splashing the pot. This price level is not cheap fare; the broth still has oil floating on top. The market treats the “willingness to end the war” as a salt reduction, but Trump has yet to make a final decision, so shipping and energy security at Hormuz remain uncertain; shipping fees are like the food delivery channel—if the rhythm of serving the whole table is disrupted, supply disturbances are like the stove’s gas flame—if it flickers, all pots need to be re-seasoned. Whether oil prices can continue to fall depends on whether this broth is just skimming foam or changing the soup entirely. Geopolitical news is like extra spicy chili—adding a little enhances the aroma, but too much burns the stomach. XMETA, this tokenized US stock offering, is not a lonely dessert. On the surface, it’s a tech main course, but underneath it’s drenched in macro oil sauce: high oil prices stoke inflation expectations and interest rate heat, and growth stock valuations fear the stove temperature fluctuating wildly; shipping and energy costs act like invisible thickeners, sticking to risk appetite. A drop in oil prices gives risk assets a spicy breath of relief, but with military risks still burning, safe-haven funds act like cold water poured on a hot pot—no matter how resilient XMETA is, it depends on the heat. On the menu, this dish’s top notes are a tech story, the mid-notes are the advertising cycle, and the base notes are interest rates and energy costs; a change in the oil price’s spiciness can suppress even the most fragrant top notes. The portfolio mix has always been: mainstream coins as the main course, altcoins as seasoning, and leveraged contracts as extra spicy chili—when the oil price ladle pours chili oil, no matter how fragrant the seasoning, it can’t cover up the stomach’s turmoil. XMETA’s linkage isn’t about watching a single headline dish, but whether the three pots of Hormuz valve, shipping fees, and inflation expectations are all stable simultaneously. Diplomatic hope is the foam skimmed off, military risk is the hidden fire; skimming off foam doesn’t mean the broth isn’t boiling. This pot of soup is still one fire short of clarity, and XMETA’s dish can only follow the stove’s temperament. #oilfallsamidiranrisks☀️ 大叔早报｜10.29（周四） 🌍 一句话总结 微软 Azure 增长48%，盘后一度涨超5%；谷歌云增长103%，Alphabet 却因利润大幅不及预期而下跌。同样押注AI，市场开始区别对待：增长很重要，增长能否兑现成利润更重要。 美联储维持利率在3.75%—4.00%，但两票反对、主张本次加息。A股昨天放量反弹，今天要验证的不是能不能高开，而是能不能续涨。 🪙 Crypto｜81K附近震荡，等待方向 BTC约81,290美元，ETH约2,360美元（盘前参考价）。 大叔观察： 美联储决议落地，不代表宏观风险解除。关注82K附近能否站稳，别把反弹直接当反转。 🇺🇸 美股隔夜｜AI开始接受利润审判 道指+0.19%，标普+0.28%，纳指+0.27%。 微软： Azure增长48%，下一季度增速指引继续加快，盘后一度涨超5%。 Alphabet： 营收增长25%，Google Cloud增长103%，但每股收益2.12美元，远低于市场预期，股价盘后下跌。 大叔观察： 谷歌云增长103%，股价仍然下跌——市场不是不相信AI，而是开始追问投入何时转化成利润和现金流。微软得到奖励Google has released its earnings report, and the drop is unbearable to watch. Earnings per share were 2.12, while Wall Street estimated 3.02. The miss was expected, but the surprise was how sharply the stock price fell. On Wednesday, Google closed at 324.89, and after hours it dropped to a low of 287.57. By 8 PM Eastern Time, it was at 292.47, down 10%, breaking through the 6% drop that options had bet on. In my outlook, I listed several numbers that could prove me wrong. Cloud revenue was 30.7 billion, surpassing the 30.5 billion threshold, and capital expenditures for 2026 did not increase further. Only the backlog was 561 billion, not reaching 650 billion. Most of the good numbers were there, yet the stock price still fell. Revenue was roughly as expected; the news cited the reasons as earnings per share missing estimates and spending being too high. The CFO also said capital expenditures will significantly increase in 2027. What surprised me most was the orders on OKX perpetual contracts. I thought longs would close positions after the drop, but the long-to-short ratio rose from 6.3 last night to as high as 8.5 before 8 AM. Positions increased from 58,000 shares to 108,000 shares, nearly doubling—buying more as the price fell. The No chosen for exceeding expectations won. The No chosen for the next day’s rise will have to wait until tonight’s US market close. Alright, these are all my personal views and actual positions, not investment advice. First, to pour some cold water, when I see this kind of judgment "price will rise once uncertainty fades," I tend to look for which link is missing inside. My view is cautious: price resilience means toughness, but directly translating it into upward momentum might be overreading the market. CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that ETF net inflows have been close to zero year-to-date this year, yet Bitcoin has only dropped 7%. Based on this, he speculates that the possibility of large-scale selling by veteran whales or miners is low, and expects bullish momentum to return after midterm election uncertainty fades and ETF inflows resume. I think there are two key points here: net inflow close to zero is just a net figure and cannot alone confirm that selling pressure has cleared; fading election uncertainty does not necessarily mean ETF funds will definitely flow back. The former is a supply judgment, the latter a demand assumption—missing either link cannot support a complete bullish logic. Of course, he might be right. The ability to hold up under weak demand itself should not be underestimated. If ETF net inflows continue afterward and $BTC price strengthens accordingly, rather than funds coming in without price rising, I will adjust my bearish view. For now, I want to focus on whether funds and price can mutually validate each other, and not rush to price in a condition that has yet to be realized. October 29 Crypto Market Analysis BTC around $81,245, ETH around $2,360. The Fed's "hawkish pause" was implemented; the decision itself did not trigger a sell-off, but the internal 10:2 vote included two dissenting votes advocating for a rate hike, pushing the December rate hike expectations above 85%. BTC: Neutral to cautious. ETF holders' average cost is about $81,500, and the current price is battling near this level. Continued closing below it may trigger redemption pressure. The resistance above $87,000 has twice suppressed rebounds this year and caused at least a 25% pullback. Short-term support at $81,000 maintains consolidation, with a lower probability of a sharp drop compared to a gradual decline. ETH: Weak. It has broken below the daily ascending channel lower boundary since June (around $2,400). The futures active buy/sell ratio of 0.973 is the lowest since the June sell-off. October ETF outflows total about $1.26–1.32 billion, approaching a monthly record and about six times the BTC outflow scale. The $2,310–2,328 range is a dense area of on-chain cost, 200-day EMA, and large holder cost; losing this level sets the next target at $2,256. Core changes: The decision was moderately implemented but with a tough tone, which suppresses BTC's rebound height rather than causing a sharp drop; ETH's technical breakdown combined with continuous ETF outflows results in higher short-term risk than BTC. $BTC $ETH Microsoft has reported earnings, and a big bullish candlestick has appeared. Azure rose 48%, which is one point higher than the 47% line in the buyers' minds. In the earnings call, the CFO gave next quarter's Azure guidance at a constant currency growth of 49% to 50%, even faster than this quarter. In my preview, I wrote that if Azure reaches above 48% and the next quarter's guidance is also raised, and the stock closes higher the next day, then I would be wrong. Now the first two conditions have been met. On Wednesday, Microsoft closed at 531.01, and after hours it surged to around 568, up 7%. By 8 PM Eastern Time, it was 546.50, up another 2.9%. On OKX, MSFT perpetual futures were at 547.5 by 8 AM Beijing time, roughly the same as after-hours. Earnings per share were no surprise, reported at 4.92, adjusted 4.89, while Wall Street estimated 4.71. The "Yes" choice for beating expectations won, the "No" choice for next day rise lost; let's see what happens tomorrow. The only chance for a turnaround is the pattern I mentioned in the preview: in the past 8 times, 7 times the stock closed lower than it opened the next day. After the US market opens tonight, we'll see if it can open high and hold. These are all my personal views and actual positions, not investment advice. The Federal Reserve held steady overnight, keeping rates at 3.75% to 4%, with a 10-2 vote; Cook and Harker were the two votes for a rate hike, while in September it was a unanimous 12-0 vote. The statement changed the economy description from solid expansion to strong expansion. The previous phrase about rate hikes helping inflation return to 2% faster was removed. The Wash press conference gave no forward guidance. CME FedWatch shows the probability of a rate hike in December exceeding 85%, and the 10-year US Treasury yield peaked at 5.025%. $BTC was around 80800 when the decision came out, rose to 81100 during the press conference, surged to 81768 at 4 a.m. but was pushed back, now hovering around 81130, with a funding rate of 0.01%. Holding steady does not mean easing; the two votes for a rate hike are clear, the December rate hike threat still hangs, and yields are so high. I consider this rally a bounce from the boots dropping, not a trend. Short-term support is between 80950 and 81000; the lower shadows on several hourly candles overnight are around here. Cut losses if it breaks below 80950. The first resistance is at 81450; if the long upper shadow at 81770 cannot be surpassed, do not chase. Set stop loss below 80700, target first at 81770, keep position size small as usual #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $BTC $HYPE One of the core participants in the ecosystem, HyperLabs, applied to redeem nearly 180,000 HYPE, equivalent to 14.49 million USD. Whose holdings wouldn't shake a bit with that? So what happened? HYPE's current price is 80.5, down 1% in 24 hours, hitting a low of 79.5 before bouncing back. With such a large redemption request on-chain, this is the market's reaction. There are two interpretations. One is that the chip structure is indeed solid: over 1.7 million tokens traded in 24 hours, so 180,000 is about two to three hours' volume, and the buyers aren't panicking. The other is that no one really cares—you redeem yours, I trade mine. I lean towards the former but don't intend to bet on it. I've always thought HYPE's valuation is somewhat story-driven; a real on-chain redemption knocking on the door, and the price not moving doesn't mean nothing's happening, maybe the time just hasn't come. Wait for this real sale to complete, then see if the market shows respect. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 Integrating Bitcoin into a multi-asset portfolio is essentially like adding a modular steel structure annex to an existing reinforced concrete framework—not a rebuild, but a reinforced expansion. VanEck's WBMO launched on October 27, supported by four pillars: stocks, bonds, gold, and BTC. The BTC allocation benchmark is 2%, adjustable between 1%-5%, operating through a spot ETP channel. To me, this is a "tuned damper design": it’s not expected to be the main load-bearing wall, but it can absorb shear waves when an earthquake hits. Franklin Templeton’s FBEQ and FIBT are more straightforward, starting with about 95% US stocks and 5% BTC, then continuously increasing BTC through dividend reinvestment. Translated into construction terms: using operational cash flow to reinforce the foundation, converting the dividend drainage pipe into a prestressed anchor cable. The design logic is clear, but the construction sequence matters—pour the main structure first, then tension; reversing the order causes stress concentration. The real highlight isn’t the allocation numbers but the shift in the structural system. Previously, BTC was an irregular building on an independent plot—striking in shape but isolated. Now, asset managers have made it a prefabricated component with standard floor height and load, embedded into the beam-column joints of traditional portfolios. A 2% allocation sounds like decorative reinforcement, but an adjustable range up to 5% means this joint design reserves capacity for seismic grade upgrades. From dividend reinvestment to multi-asset portfolios, what asset managers are doing is reclassifying BTC from a "landscape structure" to a "structural component." This triggers a chain reaction in engineering terms: when BTC enters mainstream portfolios at single-digit percentages, its volatility characteristics are diluted by the portfolio’s inertia, but the portfolio’s drawdown path is reshaped by it. The correlation depth with the US stock token $xSPY is essentially a seismic wave transmission issue between two adjacent buildings on the same foundation slab—once resonance frequencies align, whether the seismic gap is wide enough becomes a matter of life and death. I’ve seen too many projects fail due to construction quality—not because the blueprints were bad, but because the reinforcement ratio and concrete grade didn’t match. The adjustable BTC allocation from 1% to 5% tests not the design institute’s imagination but the asset manager’s on-site management capabilities—rebalancing frequency, tax frictions, custody chain—all hidden engineering challenges. The path of dividend reinvestment to increase BTC is compound interest on paper but continuous prestressing in engineering; overtensioning leads to brittle fracture. The white paper is the design drawing, the ETF is the construction permit, but what determines whether this building can withstand the next cycle is the redundancy of the underlying architecture and the ductility of the joints. The 2% allocation is evolving from an experimental component to a standard practice, and the structural significance of this trend far exceeds the number itself. A building with insufficient reinforcement ratio cannot withstand a shear wave no matter how beautiful the curtain wall is. #vaneckfranklinbtcetfsShort-term Key Variables and Observation Points In the coming weeks, the direction of the crypto market is likely to be driven by the following events: 1. Federal Reserve FOMC Statement Wording: The October rate hike is fully priced in; the real signal lies in the strength of guidance on a December rate hike in the statement and press conference. If hawkish, the $80,000 support will be tested again; if flexibility is maintained, a brief respite may be possible.‌ 2. Tech Giants' Earnings and AI Narrative: Capital expenditure guidance from Microsoft, Google, and Amazon will influence overall risk appetite. AI spending has a "diversion effect" on crypto funds—if tech stocks regain favor, marginal buying in the crypto market may further weaken.‌ 3. Technical Significance of $80,000: Bitcoin has been oscillating between $80,000 and $82,500 for three weeks. A clear weekly close below $80,000 points to the next support near $76,000; reclaiming $82,500 is needed for short-term momentum improvement.‌ Summary: The current difficulties in the crypto market are not due to structural collapse within the industry but rather the combined effect of tightening macro liquidity expectations and shrinking risk appetite. Until inflation data shows substantial cooling or the Fed's rate path expectations shift, sustained upward momentum is unlikely. The $80,000 level is a key window to observe whether short-term sentiment slides from "neutral to slightly weak" toward "panic." $BTC $BTC Once the midterm elections are settled, BTC can resume its upward trend — I half believe what the founder of CryptoQuant said. The other half I leave to the market to decide. The real price is 81160, fluctuating between 80350 and 81786 in 24 hours, with a neutral 0.01% fee rate; neither bulls nor bears have secretly increased their positions. I trust the real money on the market over verbal judgments. However, there is one set of data I am closely watching: the short-term holders' cost basis is 76,500. This group is still in profit and cannot be shaken out; only if it truly falls near that level will stop-loss selling flood in. So before this line breaks, I don't think there's any one-sided trade to make. Also, a guy named Grant Cardone has made a million-dollar bet that BTC will reach 126,000 within two years. Betting is betting, but that's two years from now and has nothing to do with the current daily candle in front of me. My stance: during these weeks of election hype, BTC is in this box range. Either wait for a pullback to 76,500 to see if it holds, or wait for it to break out with volume on its own. Around 81,000, I stay out and watch. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 A super low-pressure system with a central valuation approaching two trillion dollars is completing its numbering on the Nasdaq surface. The formation document submitted on October 26 was just its initial disturbance; what truly alerted the watch room was the sounding profile: precipitation in the first half of the year—i.e., revenue—was 16.3 billion, a fourteenfold year-on-year increase, yet the eyewall simultaneously carried a net loss of 80.7 billion, of which 72.4 billion was non-cash valuation adjustments, not a single drop reaching the ground. Excluding this part, the actual business loss was 693 million. This vertical structure is called an elevated thunderstorm in meteorology: the cloud tops surge very high, radar echoes are dazzlingly bright, but the dry layer at the bottom is too thick, resulting in extremely low precipitation efficiency. The market only focuses on the bright temperature at the cloud top and assumes a heavy rainstorm is coming. Looking at its water vapor flux commitment—the long-term computing power expenditure cap is 750 billion. This is the convergence budget for the next decade, equivalent to staking all the water vapor in the entire monsoon trough. The problem has never been how high the clouds can grow, but whether the precipitation efficiency can keep up. A fourteenfold increase is a typical feature of a strong convective outbreak period, but the outbreak period will not last forever. Once the stratification turns stable, the revenue curve will quickly flatten, while computing power expenditure is a rigid downdraft. The pressure gradient between the two will sooner or later tear open a front. On the November 16 window, if priced between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion, it will surpass the previous listing record of 1.77 trillion, becoming the strongest landing ever observed. But historical data repeatedly remind us: the lower the central pressure, the more frequent the eyewall replacement before landing, and the greater the path deviation. The linkage logic of tokenized US stock targets is very simple—it is not a weather forecast, it is a barometer; the wind has not arrived, but the mercury column moves first; volatility will react before valuation, and price spreads will precede volume expansion. The watch room's current judgment: this is an explosive deepening process, with a complete warm-core structure, but the upper-level divergence conditions are still unclear, and numerical models still show huge divergence in its path. What really needs monitoring is not the 2 trillion central pressure reading, but the actual precipitation in the second half of next year—whether revenue can continue convection or will prematurely hit the inversion layer, locking all the water vapor at the cloud base. Eyewall replacement has already begun; before the next sounding data comes out, any judgment on rain or shine is a gamble. #anthropicipofiled[The Federal Reserve Targets South Korea, AI Still a Hot Topic] Wachtel specifically emphasized that his concern for the South Korean economy "exceeds your imagination," and there is a very direct reason behind this: South Korea is providing key components for the U.S. AI boom. Chip $SKHY exports and semiconductor equipment investments are upstream thermometers for the expansion of U.S. AI infrastructure. South Korea's Q3 GDP grew 1% quarter-on-quarter, higher than the market expectation of 0.7%, with semiconductors estimated to contribute about half of the economic growth. No matter how attractive AI returns are, they cannot escape interest rates. Rising financing costs will affect data center construction, computing power procurement, and corporate capital expenditures; if demand for Korean chips cools, the investment chain of U.S. tech companies may also come under pressure. Wachtel has previously made it clear that AI investment is not an "immune zone" for monetary policy. Wachtel's focus on South Korea is not a sudden interest in the Asian economy but an observation of whether AI demand can continue to transmit to the U.S. Currently, South Korean exports and equipment investments remain strong, but private consumption has already declined 0.2% quarter-on-quarter, so the economy is not fully booming. For the market, what really needs to be watched next is whether chip orders and corporate investments are slowing down; once this chain weakens, the pressure on AI concept stocks may be more tangible than one or two Federal Reserve statements.$FIL filcoin project, what is the total real income of the entire network per day now? Conclusion first: Filecoin's entire network "real income" depends on how you define it; different metrics differ by several orders of magnitude. Below are separate calculations. 1. On-chain total fees / protocol revenue (most commonly used metric) According to DefiLlama data on 2026-10-27: Chain Fees (24h): $19,083 Chain Revenue (24h): $19,083 Details "actual user paid fees": about $21,815/day Sector Alpha aggregated 30-day fees up to 2026-10-23 are $83.9K, averaging about $2,800/day, roughly the same scale as the latest value above (with recent fluctuations). This layer of income mainly includes Gas fees, Base Fee burns, penalties, and other on-chain economic activities, not the money from storage orders themselves. 2. External customers' "real cash paid storage fees" This is the strictly defined "real business income," and the numbers are very small: Onchain Cloud (new paid warm storage service) from 2025-11 to 2026-08 totaled only $1,676 Annualized: about $2,000/day or less (daily average ~$5.5) Old storage market from 2025-05 to 2026-08, out of over 17 million transactions, only 21,000 involved payments, total paid 0.0488 FIL Filecoin Pay transactions $53,932, of which $51,140 came from the same wallet to the same address, so it cannot be counted as decentralized real demand In other words, external customers' real storage payment averages at the "thousand-dollar level or even lower" per day. 3. Block rewards (not counted as real income but often mixed in) The entire network mints about 56,000–60,000 FIL daily At FIL ≈ $0.9–1.1, nominal value is $50,000–66,000/day Essentially inflation subsidies, not income; after the Solstice upgrade, this part will gradually link to "bringing paying customers" Summary comparison Metric Estimated daily income Notes On-chain total fees/protocol revenue About $19,000–22,000 Gas + burns + penalties External customer storage payments Thousand-dollar level (<$1,000) Real business cash flow Block rewards (nominal) $50,000–66,000 Inflation subsidy, not income So the question "What is Filecoin's entire network real income per day now?": Answer by on-chain metric: about $20,000/day Answer by "actual money customers pay for storing data": less than $1,000/day, possibly only a few to tens of dollars on some low-activity days This is why the market often says FIL is "narrative far greater than cash flow"—the storage infrastructure is running, but paying demand has not yet picked up.

Fear and Greed Index at 51, neutral. On the surface, this looks like a typical "bad news turning into good news" scenario. 👇 But breaking down the structure, what truly deserves attention today are three mutually contradictory signals: 🏦 Fed's Rift: Interest rates remain at 3.75%–4.00%, as expected. However, the vote changed from 12:0 last round to 10:2, with Harker and Cook dissenting. The market is unsure whether these two votes oppose tightening or loosening; consensus is starting to loosen. CME data shows the probability of a rate hike in December has risen to 86%. 💥 Shorts Are Being Squeezed: In the past 24 hours, about $132 million in liquidations occurred network-wide, with short liquidations at $94.24 million, accounting for 71.31%, which is 2.5 times the long liquidations. $BTC short liquidations account for **78%**, $ETH 69%. Prices are moving up, and those shorting are being consumed in reverse. 📉 Retail Trading Engine Cooling Down: Robinhood's Q3 crypto trading revenue was $120 million, a year-over-year plunge of 55%; crypto trading volume was $50 billion, down 38% year-over-year. Meanwhile, its prediction market (event contracts) revenue reached $173 million, soaring over 6 times year-over-year, already surpassing crypto revenue. Market reaction to this earnings report isETH does not have a unified “whale standard”; thresholds vary across different platforms, distinct from BTC (≥1000 BTC) criteria: The two most commonly used classifications within the community (Santiment / Glassnode) 1. Super Whales: ≥100,000 ETH Very few addresses, ranging from several dozen to over sixty. ⚠️ The majority here are: Beacon Chain staking contracts, exchange custody wallets, ETF custody addresses; genuine individual whales are very rare. 2. Standard Whales: ≥10,000 ETH (the tier most closely watched) Approximately 800 to 1100 addresses; this tier represents the whales commonly referred to who actively trade and influence the market, including funds, large holders, and institutional self-custody wallets. 3. Large Holders/Sharks: ≥1,000 ETH This tier has many more addresses, numbering in the thousands, including many mid-sized funds, staking service providers, and DeFi treasuries. The most important misconception (same as BTC) Address ≠ real independent person - Beacon Chain deposit contracts, Lido, Coinbase staking pools, and major exchange cold wallets are all counted as whale addresses; - One whale can split assets across dozens of wallets; one wallet can hold funds from tens of thousands of retail users (custody). Therefore, on-chain data can only count wallet addresses and cannot accurately determine how many independent “people” are whales. A brief comparison with the BTC standard you just asked about: - BTC whale standard: ≥1000 BTC,CryptoQuant创始人Ki Young Ju发表观点，随着美国中期选举逐步临近，市场正持续定价选举带来的监管与财政政策不确定性，一旦选举尘埃落定、不确定性消退，比特币有望迎来新一轮上涨行情。 他分析当前市场状态指出，尽管今年比特币ETF资金流入几乎停滞，但比特币价格仅小幅回落7%，价格韧性超出预期。这一现象侧面说明市场大户、矿工的大规模抛售行为基本已经结束，市场抛压得到充分释放，为后续行情积蓄条件。 从历史行情复盘来看，除去早期市场体量极小的阶段，过往几轮美国中期选举结束后的12个月内，比特币平均录得超过50%的涨幅，中期选举落地、政策预期明朗往往是风险资产开启上涨的重要触发信号之一。但分析师同时提醒，选举仅仅是众多影响因子当中的一环，比特币能否真正启动上涨，最终仍取决于美联储货币政策、美债收益率走势以及现货ETF资金能否恢复净流入。如果高利率环境持续，仅仅依靠选举预期，很难支撑比特币走出持续大级别牛市行情。 市场内部也存在分歧观点，部分机构研报提示，即便选举结果落地，若最终形成分裂国会格局，加密资产相关立法依然会陷入僵持，监管层面的不确定性并不会完全消失，行情有可能[Microsoft Earns Cash Back Through AI, While Google Is Scared by Burn Rate and Drops] Both are investing heavily in AI, but Microsoft $MSFT is clearly more favored by the market this time. Quarterly revenue reached $92.3 billion, a 19% year-over-year increase, with Azure growth hitting 48%, and it expects to accelerate further to 49%–50% next quarter. Commercial order backlog reached $677 billion, indicating customers are indeed continuing to pay. What reassures investors even more is the cash flow: Microsoft’s free cash flow reached $18.6 billion, far exceeding the market expectation of about $8.5 billion; capital expenditures were $45.2 billion, also below the previous expectation of about $50 billion. After-hours stock price rose over 4%, as the market finally sees that AI investment is not just burning money but also generating revenue and cash. Of course, part of the reduced spending this time is due to delays in third-party computing power delivery, so it can’t all be counted as efficiency improvement. Microsoft’s real advantage is that while Azure accelerates growth, cash flow remains strong. The AI arms race continues; going forward, it’s not about who spends more, but who can convert computing power into cash faster—that’s who will have the confidence to keep investing. #微软Azure增长43%，AI商业化能否提速？ Dogecoin (DOGE) Whale (Mega Whale) Classification Standards (Market Common Criteria) - 🐬 Dolphin: 1 million to 10 million DOGE - 🦈 Shark: 10 million to 100 million DOGE - 🐳 Whale: ≥100 million DOGE (can significantly influence the market) - 🦑 Super Mega Whale: ≥1 billion DOGE (institutional/exchange level) Quantity and Chip Situation According to Santiment statistics: there are about 140 wallets holding ≥100 million DOGE, these addresses collectively hold over 108 billion DOGE, with chip concentration far higher than BTC and ETH. Key Big Pitfall: The top on-chain rich list is not a single whale, but Robinhood's custody cold wallet (about 27.2 billion DOGE, nearly 17.5% of circulating supply), which contains coins from hundreds of thousands of retail investors, not one person; second is Upbit, third is Binance, both are exchange custody wallets, representing user asset custody, not private mega whales. The legendary super address that once held nearly 30% of DOGE was split by the end of 2021 and is no longer a single large holder. Characteristics (Compared to BTC/ETH Whales) 1. DOGE is a meme coin with thinner liquidity; a large private whale's big transfer or dump causes much more violent market fluctuations than BTC or ETH, easily triggering panic and chain liquidations. 2. High chip concentration: the top 10 addresses together account for the circulating supplyWhen I see news about this type of institution entering the market, I usually hold back my excitement first. I don't play with high leverage; I hold spot positions long-term. When reading news, I'm more concerned about what it changes rather than how long it can keep the market lively. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, Germany's fourth-largest asset management company, DekaBank, disclosed for the first time that it bought 104,921 shares of the Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, valued at about $15.2 million. I would highlight "disclosed for the first time" because it doesn't mean we already know the full buying process. My judgment is that this is a small signal of traditional asset management getting involved with Bitcoin-related assets, but it's not strong enough evidence to consider it a long-term value indicator. They bought company stock, not Bitcoin directly, so this amount can't be counted as new spot buying; stocks are also affected by company operations and financing arrangements, so they can't be equated with holding coins. The data also doesn't show what proportion this holding is of their portfolio. Just looking at the amount, it's hard to judge how much the institution values it. As for me, I hold without moving and am more interested in whether there will be continuous disclosures later, rather than imagining a trend from a single piece of news. Taking it slow is fine; don't treat the news of institutions buying stocks as a reason to increase your own leverage. For friends holding long-term, will you see this disclosure as a signal of allocation trends, or will you wait for changes in holdings before making a judgment?What’s truly worth the crypto community’s attention in Microsoft’s earnings report isn’t the revenue, but that $170 billion. Capital expenditures exceeded $50 billion in Q2, with a full-year capital expenditure guidance of about $170 billion, accelerating further in the second half of fiscal 2027. Revenue guidance is $96 billion to $97.1 billion, with Azure growth expected at 49%. After the earnings release, the stock jumped 6% in after-hours trading. A company worth trillions of dollars is maintaining positive cash flow while investing its profits aggressively. This indicates the AI arms race hasn’t slowed down; it’s actually speeding up. Computing power is the ammunition, and no one dares to back off first because doing so means handing customers over to competitors. Therefore, the capital expenditure curve is much steeper than the revenue curve, and the after-hours price surge is the market’s vote. The transmission to the crypto market isn’t through servers but through liquidity. The world’s wealthiest companies continuously converting cash into computing power assets means risk appetite hasn’t waned. What Bitcoin fears most has never been negative news but the lack of incremental funds coming in. This scale of spending itself is a signal of new capital. There is a cost. The more expensive computing power becomes, the greater the pressure on miners’ electricity bills and hardware depreciation. Computing power continues to concentrate in low-cost regions and large mining farms, squeezing out space for small and medium miners, with no short-term reversal expected. So, in the short term, rising computing power costs are bad news for miners; in the medium term, loose liquidity is good news for holders. The bottom for $BTC and $ETH depends on whether capital is willing to pay a premium for the future. Don’t chase the highs; wait for a pullback confirmation. Today, let's first look at the capital inflow, but we can't rush to judge a reversal yet. BTC spot and futures are flowing in simultaneously, ETH mainly sees leveraged funds replenishing, while SOL has spot buying support but futures continue to retreat. These three capital structures represent three different strengths and weaknesses. BTC spot net inflow in 4 hours is $63.39 million, futures net inflow is $9.02 million. Over 24 hours, spot net inflow is $229 million, futures net inflow is $139 million. However, over 30 days, spot still has a net outflow of $724 million, and futures a net outflow of $6.63 billion. Short-term funds have indeed returned, but mid-term deleveraging is not over yet. ETH spot net outflow in 4 hours is $1.52 million, but futures net inflow is $39.74 million. Over 24 hours, spot net inflow is $32.01 million, futures net inflow is $228 million. The intensity of futures inflow is clearly stronger than spot, indicating this round of replenishment relies more on leverage. Over 30 days, spot net outflow is $3.07 billion, futures net outflow is $7.33 billion, so the mid-term structure remains weak. SOL spot net inflow in 4 hours is $220,000, futures net outflow is $19.98 million; over 24 hours, spot net inflow is $39.02 million, futures net outflow is $27.9 million. Over 30 days, spot still has a net inflow of $39.6 million. But futures have a cumulative net outflow of $1.83 billion, indicating spot is being supported by buyers, but leveraged funds are still withdrawing. Currently, BTC has the best structure, SOL has spot support, ETH has the greatest short-term elasticity but also the highest leverage risk. 🐋 Whale's triple short positions show unrealized losses but remain calm: funding fees become "lifeline cash flow" On-chain big player activity spotted again: the same whale shorts BTC, ETH, and SOL simultaneously on perpetual contracts. All three positions show unrealized losses, but the whale relies on continuous funding fee income to hold the positions, a typical "fee-eating long-term short" strategy. 📊 Position breakdown: ✅ $BTC | 5x full position short, 2,613.29 contracts, market value 210 million U Opened at 76,343.5 U, unrealized loss 10.5955 million U, funding fees collected 3.1767 million U, liquidation price 137,300.27. ✅ $ETH | 5x full position short, 106,400 contracts, market value 250 million U Opened at 2,322.74 U, unrealized loss 1.5599 million U, funding fees collected 4.302 million U, liquidation price 3,723.54. ✅ $SOL | 7x full position short, 719,900 contracts, market value 72.6776 million U Opened at 94.3199 U, unrealized loss 4.7799 million U, funding fees collected 3.8379 million U.

The stock price has risen from the previous low of around 850 to about 1100 currently. However, relatively disappointing is the decline in net profit, which fell short of market expectations, but fortunately it is not an operational loss. The main cause is exchange losses (11.6 trillion KRW). Due to the appreciation of the Korean won against the US dollar during the reporting period, there was a book loss when converting its foreign currency assets back into Korean won. Secondly, there was an investment asset valuation loss (22.9 trillion KRW), mainly from the fair value revaluation of investment assets such as Kioxia. However, Hynix expects the tight memory supply and demand to continue until 2030. Fortunately, more than half of the capacity for 2027-2028 is already covered by long-term agreements, and investment in 2027 is expected to increase significantly. Observing AI investments and profit margins, it seems that investments are slowing down and profit margins are declining 🤔 Watch out for risks!
