$ARB
Arbitrum's competition is no longer limited to other Ethereum Layer-2 networks. Its developer infrastructure, including Stylus, allows applications to explore languages beyond Solidity. That flexibility could broaden its development base, but the bigger test remains economic: can ecosystem growth translate into durable demand for blockspace and meaningful value for the ARB token? #BTC现货ETF年内累计净流出约4.16亿美元
The market is once again flooded with panic headlines like "institutions are fleeing."
But looking deeper, this round of outflows is neither a retail stampede nor a collapse of long-term faith:
Most of it is basis arbitrage liquidation from products like IBIT—the spot-futures price spread has narrowed, quantitative funds are mechanically exiting positions, not "bearish on Bitcoin itself."
Contrary to consensus:
ETF net outflow ≠ end of the bull market; rather, it’s "slow money washing out fast money."
What really matters isn’t single-day redemptions, but three signals:
1. Whether on-chain active addresses and stablecoin net inflows continue to shrink
2. Whether futures funding rates have completely cooled off
3. When the Fed will ease its rate hike expectations
My judgment:
Short-term liquidity is suppressed by macro interest rates; BTC is still grinding in the bottom range;
But the long-term bullish logic remains intact; ETFs are just temporarily cooling off, not permanently exiting.
Operationally, don’t try to catch the bottom:
• Spot: place orders in batches, don’t go all in at once
• Futures: reduce frequency, use stop-losses, don’t follow emotional trades
• Grid: keep running the core position, profit from volatility without betting on direction
• Position: keep enough USDT, add more when ETFs turn positive inflow
While others see outflow panic, I see "chip exchange."MEXC responded: Operations are normal, assets are safe
Yesterday, FinCEN ordered to kick MEXC out of the U.S. financial system. This morning at 08:02, MEXC replied on X: aware of the order, currently reviewing it with the legal and compliance team; operations are normal, user assets are safe; will engage in constructive communication with FinCEN and regulators, and has initiated an independent review of anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance.
Co-founder Vugar Usi also issued the same statement, adding: this order only restricts certain fund transfers between MEXC and U.S. financial institutions, not a complete ban.
However, the response did not address FinCEN's allegations of $16 billion in illicit funds and transactions with Garantex, not a word mentioned. The 30-day countdown for the ban has not started, the Federal Register has not published it, and it will not take effect until at least December.
There are already chain reactions: Plasma One's app has already prompted a suspension of deposits from MEXC, but currently this is the only source and has not been confirmed.
A statement has been made, but the accounts have not yet been settled. Shrinkage is not entirely due to withdrawals
$529,500 is the net outflow of the XRP ETF in a single week reported; spot price 1.1711, the fund asset shrinkage also mixes with coin price changes, so it cannot be fully counted as withdrawals.
Let me break down the accounts first.
Net asset loss and redemptions are recorded separately.

#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 【US AI Infrastructure Faces Political Turning Point, Low-Cost Expansion Era of Computing Power Industry Is Transforming】
The recent decline in US AI computing power stocks is driven by political pushback against the low-cost expansion model of data centers. In the past, data centers reduced construction costs through local tax incentives, power grid expansion, and water resource subsidies. However, as residents grow increasingly dissatisfied with rising electricity prices, resource consumption, and public subsidies for enterprises, approvals and cost constraints are tightening. Texas is a typical example, where even Republican Governor Abbott previously demanded projects bear the costs of power infrastructure.
For the computing power industry, the real pressure is not just temporary construction halts but longer construction cycles, rising electricity and water costs, and reduced tax incentives. Projects that previously relied on low-cost financing and continuous expansion will need to recalculate their future investment returns. Once projects are delayed and revenue realization lags behind financing expenditures, financial pressure will quickly escalate.
Recently, heavy-asset computing power companies like Hut 8 (HUT), Cipher Digital (CIFR), and CoreWeave ($CRWV) have been impacted, and power and cooling suppliers such as GE Vernova and Vertiv have also experienced significant fluctuations.
The US will not abandon AI competition, but data centers can no longer indefinitely shift infrastructure costs onto society. AI demand remains strong; the real question is whether computing power investments can cover the increasingly high construction, operation, and financing costs.
#美中期选举后AI监管分歧引发行情波动 I never quite understood: a platform lowers its fees, income drops by a quarter, yet the money used to buy back tokens actually increases.
Derive does exactly that. The commission rate was reduced from 1.71 basis points to 1.57, making October the cheapest month this year, with annualized revenue dropping from 8.56 million to 6.43 million. But at the same time, it raised the buyback ratio from 35% to 50%, which means the buyback amount went from 3 million to 3.22 million, an increase of 7%.
Less income from one hand, more distribution from the other, betting that lower fees will attract users. But at this fee level, only about 1% of the market cap is bought back annually, so the $DRV benefit isn’t as big as imagined.Complaints about SanDisk on the square have clearly increased, so let's lay out the facts first:
SNDK dropped 22.3% on Thursday, closing at $806, then rebounded on Friday to close at $835 (pre-market up 10%, intraday surged past 912 but fell back). It has fallen about 27% over the week, down about 65% from the June high — but still up about 2.5 times year-to-date.
The split lies in this: the fundamentals haven't deteriorated. The Q3 earnings report at the end of October showed revenue of $11 billion, beating expectations, and the CEO said capacity is sold out through the end of this decade. What’s being punished is expectations: after the midterm elections, with Democrats controlling both chambers, the market fears stricter regulations on AI data centers, possibly delaying storage orders. There are cracks too: consumer revenue is down 29% quarter-over-quarter, and price hikes are already driving buyers away.
Also, the 1-for-8 stock split takes effect on November 20: price divided by 8, market cap unchanged, the "cheaper" perception is an illusion.
A sharp drop and a full bottom are two different things.
#SNDKDerive's V3 launched on October 8, and a set of numbers three weeks later is quite counterintuitive: protocol fees dropped by a quarter, yet the buyback amount kept increasing.
First, let's look at the phenomenon. The average daily fees 30 days before launch were $23,500, dropping to $17,500 in the 24 days after launch. Based on the recent 30-day annualized data, revenue fell from $8.56 million to $6.43 million.
Now, the mechanism. V3 does one thing: makes trading cheaper. The fee rate dropped from 1.71 basis points to 1.57, making October the month with the lowest costs this year. Meanwhile, the buyback proportion of disposable income rose from 25% in January to 35% in April, reaching 50% in October.
These two factors almost completely offset each other. Previously, buybacks took 35% of $8.56 million, about $3 million per year; now they take 50% of $6.43 million, about $3.22 million. Revenue dropped by a quarter, but buybacks increased by 7%.
Architecturally, V3 discarded the self-built chain in favor of a zero-knowledge exchange; matching still happens off-chain, margin and settlement are placed into zkVM, with proofs verified on Ethereum L1. $ETH and $BTC can cross margin, and borrowing assets expanded to ETH, WBTC, and $HYPE.
Worth pondering: at current fees, allocating half to buybacks only repurchases about 1% of market cap annually; doubling trading volume would only reach 2%. What determines $DRV is the fee base.Samsung phones are all set to integrate with Sui, can SUI finally make a mark this time?
There was news on November 6 that many might have overlooked.
Samsung Wallet plans to support sending and receiving USDC via the Sui network later this month, initially targeting eligible Galaxy users in the United States.
Here’s a detail:
Users can complete payments through a gas-free stablecoin transfer mechanism, without needing to prepare SUI in advance to pay network fees.
For ordinary people, this is a much more acceptable experience.
After all, who wants to have to check if their wallet has enough gas just to transfer some stablecoins?
But from the perspective of SUI holders, I feel a bit conflicted.
Gas-free transactions do help lower the barrier to use, but if users don’t need to buy SUI to pay fees, how much benefit can the token actually gain from payment growth?
This question can’t be ignored.
An increase in network users, growth in stablecoin circulation, and higher app activity all bring value to the ecosystem.
But between ecosystem prosperity and token price increase, there still lies actual capital demand, token supply, and market valuation.
This collaboration with Samsung Wallet at least gives Sui a channel to reach ordinary users.
Whether it can lead to large-scale usage remains to be seen after the feature officially launches and data is available.
I won’t just shout $SUI takeoff because of one partnership. $PI is displaying clean structural strength as buyers accumulate firmly near support.
Momentum is coiling for a solid upward breakout.

#OKXOrbitTopics . Looking at Tether's gold news, it's better to separate the two reserve entries first to avoid many misunderstandings.
As of the end of September, about 25.7 tons of gold support XAUT, an increase of 59% compared to the end of last year. On the other hand, about 142.8 tons of gold support the reserves backing USDT, which decreased by about 3.4 tons in the third quarter. Since the corresponding products are different and the comparison periods differ, these two sets of data can both be valid simultaneously.
I think this precisely shows that when analyzing tokenized assets, just focusing on the issuer's name is far from enough. Within the same company system, there can be a USD stablecoin as well as a gold product; the rights promised to holders and the price risks assumed need to be understood separately.
Buyers of XAUT should pay attention to the gold backing it corresponds to; holders of USDT need to look at the complete reserve structure. Adding the gold tonnage from both sides together to talk about "gold strength" offers limited help in understanding the assets you hold.
The matter of gold on-chain still seems attractive to me. Transfers and trading are more convenient, which indeed can bring new usage demands. But the more convenient it is, the easier it is for people to skip the checks they would normally do.
This reserve growth is worth noting, and I hope holders also ask one more question: What kind of product do I hold, what specific assets does it correspond to, and what does the issuance documentation promise? These questions may seem trivial, but during market fluctuations, they are much more useful than just saying "there is physical backing".

With increased trading share, can Coinbase break free from the crypto price cycle?
Coinbase's market share of crypto trading volume reached 10.7% in Q3, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of growth. The increase in share can offset some industry transaction declines but cannot make the entire business automatically escape the cycle.
Market volatility stimulates trading but can also harm user assets and subsequent engagement. Whether subscription and service revenues continue determines how stable the revenue structure is.
I focus on the combination of share, effective fee rate, and recurring revenue. If share expansion can still maintain fees and cash flow, the competitive advantage is stronger; if growth relies on low-fee subsidies or user asset shrinkage suppresses service income, short-term volume growth should be viewed cautiously.The funding rate is still positive, indicating that the bulls haven't given up.
$BTC is oscillating between $75,000 and $78,000.
$ETH is consolidating narrowly between $2,200 and $2,300.
How this number is calculated: in perpetual contracts, longs pay shorts; a positive rate means the bulls are still paying to hold their positions.
In October, both fell by 7.3% and 16% respectively, with open interest dropping to a 12-month low.
A common misunderstanding: liquidation of leverage does not mean the bulls have exited.
The chips are lighter, but conviction remains, so the rebound can only be considered a recovery.
In October, $ETH spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $1.6 billion, with funds moving towards Layer 2.
The sign of a reversal is not a long bullish candle, but the funding rate turning negative.
The bottom is only solidified on the day the bulls accept losses.
#BTC现货ETF年内累计净流出约4.16亿美元 $BTC $ETH The market dipped the day before yesterday. However, it stabilized yesterday, which is a good thing. —————————————————— It's the weekend now, the US stock market is closed, but crypto is still trading. Personally, I think $ETH might have a big surge over the weekend. Why? Because during the decline, a lot of funds bought $ETH at the bottom, and they will probably push the price up over the weekend. I believe crypto won't wait for the US stock market to open to start rising, because right now everyone is uncertain about the Democratic Party's stance on AI, so it's unclear if the US stock market can really rebound. That's my thinking, so I've bought some long positions now. If $ETH rises to $2300 tonight, I should make a small profit. —————————————————— Let's now look at the contract data. The contract data shows that during the last decline, the long-short ratio and open interest rose simultaneously, indicating that quite a bit of capital did buy at the bottom. When someone buys, there are people willing to push the price up, because pushing the price up makes money; if they don't push, they can't make money. I've observed previous weekend trends and found that after a sharp drop, crypto has a fairly high chance of rising over the weekend. —————————————————— Buying long positions now is still very cheap, so even if there are losses, they are within a controllable range. At times like this, staying out and watching is very prudent, that's how I see it. However, I still want to make some money, so I took a bit of risk and am willing to bear it. #美 After living day to day for a long time, I increasingly pay attention to those inconspicuous ongoing expenses. Whether the rent is expensive or not, you can't just look at how lively the neighborhood is. After retirement, when learning about digital assets, I noticed that perpetual contracts also carry this habit.
Hyperliquid's public market data shows that the current highest absolute funding rate is for $XMR, at a positive 0.0372% per hour, which annualizes to about 326%, yet the price dropped 0.88% in 24 hours. A positive funding rate means longs pay shorts. I think this information carries more weight for position holders and is not a major event for the entire industry.
My understanding is that if the funding rate stays high, the waiting cost for longs accumulates; the price still falling also shows that a high funding rate does not guarantee a price increase. That annualized figure is just a conversion of the current rate and should not be taken as guaranteed returns. A reminder to young friends: don't just focus on price changes, also account for the cost of time. When you see such a funding rate, do you first calculate the full-day cost or check how long it has lasted?$BTC caught a breather above 76,000, with ETFs running $1.12 billion over seven days, but the latest single day quietly turned back to a slight net inflow. This rebound is fully supported by short covering, not institutional returns.
$ETH hovered around 2240, with 2280 acting as a ceiling above. Ethereum ETFs continue to bleed, and the market doesn't even bother to resist.
$ZEC, on the contrary, is holding steady near 1320 against the trend. With the NU7 upgrade and Ledger integration, the tougher the regulation, the more story it has. However, the annualized funding rate is nearly 20%, so chasing highs is basically paying wages to the shorts.
The A-share AI-themed stocks exploded today, with Jicheng Shares, Guomai Culture, Mango Excellent Media all up 20CM, and Wentou Holdings hitting intraday limit-up. Sentiment peaked sharply.
The photovoltaic sector hasn't dispersed yet; Minfa Aluminum hit five consecutive limit-ups, Yongzhen four, continuing to lead. ST Doushen surged 65% in a week, wildly strong.
US nonfarm payrolls came in at 165,000, beating expectations. The Dow was pressed down, but the Nasdaq stubbornly rose 1%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index soared 4.2%, AMD up 11%, COHERENT up 13.6%. The rebound from oversold is faster than the rate hike knife.
On the Meme side, RELAY surged 9544% in one day, ANSEM also rose 21%. Speculators never care about macro conditions.
Money is skimming back and forth between the casino and safe havens, with no one daring to bet heavily on either side. On the large holder side, the SOL position has clearly shifted to a bearish bias.
On Hyperliquid, the WhaleRadar Whale Tide Index is about 15: weighted by performance, approximately 85% of directional large holder funds are short, with a sample of about 33 accounts totaling around $250 million; retail investors at the same scale are about 79, a difference of about 64 points between the two sides. The tracked whales account for more than half of SOL's open interest.
The key point: this is a snapshot of the position structure, not a call to go long or short. Large holders being bearish ≠ price must fall, retail investors being bullish also does not mean they will necessarily be harvested — both sides could be right, or both could be shaken out together.
Source: WhaleRadar / Hyperliquid position monitoring, derivative position disclosure nature; positions ≠ predictions. What do you think about this tug-of-war between large holders and retail investors? Let's discuss in the comments.
$SOLNot an outright ban, but legislative regulation, scrutinizing high-leverage perpetuals, US stock perpetuals, US user access, and HYPE token buybacks. The Bloomberg interview signals this clearly. Jeff changed into a suit to connect with Wall Street and cooperate with ICE, essentially to hedge in advance. Using ICE's compliance channel to separate the business reduces the risk of heavy US regulatory crackdown, but the cost is soaring compliance expenses. Now is not the moment of outbreak; it's thIn the latest trading day, spot funds saw a net outflow exceeding $410 million, with nearly $870 million accumulated over the four trading days since the beginning of the month. The most striking figure was a top fund's single-day outflow of $405 million, the largest since the end of June; at the same time, another major institution took the opposite position, buying $237 million. On the same channel, two institutions made opposite moves—not just sentiment, but someone is rotating positions at this level. Let's clarify the direction of the money first. The institutional part of the buying is essentially exchanging funding costs for risk exposure; with interest rates not falling and the dollar not loosening, its marginal demand is retreating—fund shares are being redeemed, market makers receive sell orders, and prices naturally slide down. Even more painful is the leverage side: when spot redemptions and contract liquidations happen simultaneously, selling pressure accelerates itself. Over 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations just over $1 billion, 80% of which were long positions—this is the chain reaction running here. Understanding this chain reveals that what is suppressing the coin price now is not retail sentiment but funding costs. Politically, this line must also be considered. After the midterm elections, the bank committees in both chambers will change leadership, and regulatory tone will only tighten—but don't expect regulatory benefits to first fall on spot funds. Historically, every time Washington intervenes, it targets specific individuals, while others run faster on the sidelines. At this point, the tightening stance targets specific cases, not the entire sector. History is here: when spot funds launched in January 2024, money flowed in following the narrative, and no one accounted for funding costs; the redemption in November 2022...The most vulnerable link has never been the price, but the narrative foundation being targeted by legislation. With this HYPE pullback, do you see an opportunity or a warning? Recently reviewing HYPE's market, the more I look, the more it feels like it's trading something not yet fully priced in: regulatory identity. With the US midterm elections approaching, if the Democrats take Congress, several issues—high-leverage perpetuals, US stock perpetuals, US user access, and HYPE buybacks—could be brought to the hearing table. Note, it's not an outright ban, but rule-setting, which is even more grueling because compliance costs will gradually eat into profit margins. Jeff's suit and the ICE partnership, I interpret as buying insurance in advance. Using compliance channels to segment the business reduces the chance of a heavy hammer, at the cost of raising operating expenses. This path is a long-term positive for the project, but the short-term valuation model needs recalculating. What the market is trading now is not a ban, but a compliance discount. Judging by sector strength, the perpetual DEX track where HYPE is located has clearly underperformed the broader market recently, with capital starting to pull back from policy-sensitive targets like this. The bullish logic is: once the compliance framework is established, leading players will actually benefit from license dividends, and HYPE has the first-mover advantage. The risk is: before the election results come out, any hearing rumors can amplify volatility, and the overall risk appetite for altcoins will be dragged down. My judgment is that we are currently in a phase where risk is being priced in advance, not a trend starting point. The bullish path requires waiting for legislative outlines to become clear, while bearish risks hide in sentiment—one piece of news can create a deep pit. Timing-wise Rocket Lab Earnings Preview: The Answer for Neutron Is "Still Waiting"
The probability that Q3 revenue will fall within the guidance range and slightly exceed consensus is not low: guidance is $250–265 million, consensus about $256 million, with Space Systems contract conversions and Electron launch cadence as the baseline. But the real pricing variable in this earnings report is not revenue.
Neutron's maiden flight has officially been postponed to 2027 in October, and not early in the year. The manufacturing defect in the carbon composite tank dome has been fixed, but the cryogenic and hydrostatic pressure tests will drag on until the end of Q1 2027, after which the launch date will be reset. This means there will be no Neutron revenue in 2026, and the window for the first half of 2027 is also "precarious." The best the management can say is that "testing is progressing according to the new schedule," but the essential answer to "how is progress" is "still waiting."
With a backlog of $2.36 billion and over 100 launch missions, the story is not bad. But there is almost no room for earnings per share to exceed expectations; the Neutron delay has changed the pricing logic of this earnings report: the market is no longer paying for single-quarter revenue numbers but is repricing the time cost for "Neutron in 2027." Revenue beats cannot save the valuation narrative; time accumulates in a compounding manner.
#RocketLab财报前瞻：Neutron火箭进展如何？ This move follows the short-term weakness trend; I see it reinforcing cautious sentiment, not a bottom-fishing signal. $LIT dropped 7.16% in the past hour, from $3.51 to $3.26, with a 24-hour decline of 4.48%.
I have three principles for trend trading: watch the direction, don't guess the bottom — both hourly and intraday performance are weak, and low price alone is not a reason to stop the decline; distinguish levels, don't generalize — the sharp drop in one hour indicates short-term pressure but is insufficient to judge longer cycles; consider position cost, not just price — the position volume is about $123 million, funding rate remains positive, so longs still pay funding costs during the drop, meaning selling pressure is not necessarily exhausted.
The trend is the best friend. I won't rush to look for a reversal just because of a fast drop; next, I will only observe whether the price can stop the weakness and whether positions and funding rates cool down simultaneously.Bitcoin's false boom may not last for many more years. It can't exactly be called a scam, since many early investors have made a fortune, but the inherent nature of speculative assets requires a continuous stream of new buyers. Please note, here’s the key point: over the past 5 years, those who invested regularly have basically made no profit. The average transaction price over 5 years was $60,000, and now Bitcoin is at $70,000. After accounting for the opportunity cost equivalent to bank interest, Bitcoin has had no investment value in the last 5 years. Is it possible that the next 5 years will be the same? If a financial asset cannot bring you any returns in 10 years, what will its fate be? Besides gambling and money laundering, perhaps because Bitcoin has not become an official or widely accepted payment method in the digital currency space, it can only continue to exist in the underground gray market. What is your view on this fundamental issue of returns?Democrats take both chambers, is crypto doomed? Don't panic yet!
#美国加密监管：《CLARITY法案》推进受阻，401(k)规则进入最终审查
The chat group has been full of voices saying "It's over, the Democrats are going to kill the crypto world."
Really? Let's look at the hard data first:
In 2025, the CLARITY Act passed the House with 294 votes, including 78 Democrats in favor; the GENIUS stablecoin bill passed the Senate with 68 votes, supported by 18 Democratic senators.
In this midterm election, the crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto counted 245 pro-crypto candidates elected (226 in the House, 19 in the Senate), from both parties.
There are indeed strong regulators like Warren and Waters within the party, but they are mostly targeting Trump's use of crypto as a family ATM, not 100% opposing the entire industry.
Regulation and "crackdown" are not the same thing.
Behaviors like Trump's use of cryptocurrency as a personal or even family ATM should indeed be regulated.
Personal judgment:
In the short term, it will definitely be tighter, with more hearings and investigations, and the legislative pace will slow down.
But a complete ban? The probability is low.
Crypto is no longer a niche game; both parties have supporters.
What we should really worry about is whether the industry can continue to prove its value, not blaming all problems on political parties. SoftBank's Q2 "beats expectations," but the support isn't from OpenAI
Net profit for April to June 2026 was ¥347.3 billion, down 18% year-on-year, yet more than double market expectations. However, digging deeper: the market support came from a one-time revaluation—Intel's shareholding unrealized gains of about ¥1.3 trillion, which is non-repeatable. The real mainline Vision Fund pre-tax profit was only ¥5.43 billion, a plummet of 98.8%; OpenAI contributed zero profit or loss this quarter due to an unchanged valuation since the end of March.
The issue isn't "whether OpenAI is worth it," but "whether SoftBank can afford to wait." The cumulative commitment has reached $64.6 billion, holding about 13%, but the assets are unlisted and illiquid. SoftBank continues to sustain itself by issuing debt and pledging Arm shares, with five-year CDS nearing a four-year high. An even more glaring signal: in OpenAI's new financing in November, SoftBank only discussed investing a few hundred million dollars, a stark contrast to the hundreds of billions invested in the past.
This financial report cannot answer whether the results are "impressive"; it only exposes a crack: the headline heat of the AI narrative is decoupling from the true temperature of financial quality.
#软银重金押注OpenAI，Q2财报能否交出亮眼成绩？ A single bet was placed before the New York Times poll was released.
The bet amount was nearly $200,000, ultimately earning over $77,000 in profit. The numbers themselves aren't shocking; what's shocking is the timing: the money was placed before the information was public, and when the poll came out, the result just confirmed it.
This matter is worth pondering not because it's another "insider trading" scandal, but because it exposes a structural issue. The pricing speeds of prediction markets and spot markets differ. If you want to profit from information asymmetry on $BTC, you first have to interpret the data, then judge how the market will interpret it, and then judge how others interpret others' interpretations—there are several layers of noise in between. Prediction markets skip all the intermediate steps and directly bet on the result itself. The information advantage here doesn't need translation; it can be monetized immediately.
Putting nearly $200,000 principal on a single point shows that the bettor was quite confident in their information. Ordinary traders wouldn't do this—they would diversify, hedge, and keep options open. This kind of all-in bet is itself a signal.
So the real question isn't "Who made $77,000 this time?" but rather: when the result itself can be traded, how much is knowing the result in advance worth? Once this question has an answer, there will be no shortage of people willing to pay for it.
The takeaway for position holders is straightforward: in event-driven markets, prices often move significantly before the news is officially announced. If you wait for the announcement to trade on $ETH, you might be stepping into positions that others have already profited from.Berkshire's $400 billion cash signals not a "top escape," but a "handover pricing"
In Q1 2026, cash and short-term debt totaled $397.4 billion, accounting for 58% of total assets, surpassing stocks at 42%. This is the fifth time in history that "cash exceeds stocks," with the previous four times corresponding to 1969/1987/2000/2008. But don't just read this as a crash warning: short-term debt yields range from 3.6% to 4.3%, equity risk premium is close to zero, Berkshire is not bearish, it refuses to pay for unjustified risks.
More importantly, in Q2: after Abel took over, the 14-quarter net selling ended, with net buying close to $20 billion and buybacks of $4.5 billion, reducing cash to about $365 billion. The $400 billion is no longer Buffett's defensive fortress; it is becoming Abel's pricing ammunition: first buy back its own shares, then wait for others to be cheap. When to play the card depends not on whether the US stock market falls, but on whether asset prices deserve patience. The phone is still ringing, but the person answering has changed.
#伯克希尔巨额现金储备，财报将披露最新动向 Yesterday I just said Anthropic's IPO is the thermometer of the AI sector, and today it has given a reading.
The roadshow continues, the November listing is still on, but investors are already lowering valuation expectations — originally planning to raise over $80 billion at a $1.5 trillion valuation, aiming to list before Thanksgiving.
Why is this important?
Because IPOs are different from secondary market stock trading: stockholders can buy today and sell tomorrow, but IPO subscription funds are locked for at least half a year.
Those willing to lock real money into long positions are the most honest votes for the long-term AI narrative.
There are three possible outcomes next:
1. Price reduction but successful issuance — the most likely and healthiest scenario. A layer of the bubble is squeezed out, the anchor shifts down a bit, which is actually good for the long term.
2. Significant shrinkage or delay — the primary market enters a winter first, AI unicorn valuations will be revised downward in a chain reaction, and high-valued stocks in the secondary market lose their reference points.
3. Withstand pressure and issue at the original price — indicating there is more long-term money than expected, and the AI narrative still has some breath left.
The performance on the first day of listing is more critical than pricing. A break below the issue price means even "new share arbitrage" money is unwilling to buy, and the entire sector sentiment turns bearish immediately.
A strong opening and stabilization means this round of tech stock correction has truly bottomed out.
Anthropic's IPO is no longer just a company matter; it is a valuation referendum for the entire AI era.
#Anthropic仍计划11月IPO，投资者下调估值预期 😆😆The draw is in two days, one number will decide life or death!!
Rocket Lab will release its Q3 earnings report after the market closes on Monday, November 9, with a conference call at 17:00 ET. The first full trading day is Tuesday, November 10.
Recent market sentiment has been highly volatile, plunging to 45.99 on Thursday with a big drop, then rebounding sharply to 53.07 on Friday, a 15.39% surge, reflecting an oversold condition combined with a pre-earnings run-up. The run-up is a double-edged sword; at the current price level, the earnings report leaves less room for error.
Market expectations are for revenue of 256.5 million, Q4 guidance expected at 267.5 million, and GAAP EPS expected at -0.067. The company’s original guidance was revenue between 250 million and 265 million, with a gross margin of 29%-31%. Based on the midpoint, the GAAP loss may be slightly worse than expected, so there is considerable pressure on the GAAP line.
Historical earnings day performance:
Q3 2025: -1.27%
Q4 2025: -4.89% (double beat but still declined)
Q1 2026: +34.22% (beat across the board + order surge)
Q2 2026: -0.04% (big drop after hours, recovered the next day)
Only one of the four quarters saw a big gain, showing that simply meeting earnings targets doesn’t guarantee a rise; the market values the long-term story more. The current stock price has pulled back significantly from its high, compressing valuation, but Friday’s rebound has raised the bar for speculation. $PLTR
U.S. commercial revenue surpasses government revenue—has Palantir's valuation logic changed?
Palantir's U.S. commercial revenue in Q3 grew 148% year-over-year, surpassing U.S. government business revenue for the first time. The growth is broader-based, which is an important change, but the high growth rate will also raise the subsequent comparison base.
The value of software expansion lies in reuse: whether new customers can generate revenue through the same set of products without a proportional increase in delivery personnel. There is still an execution process between contract signing and high gross margin revenue.
If commercial customer expansion brings sustained cash collection and per-share cash flow growth, the premium is more justified; if delivery costs, equity incentives, or customer concentration risks increase, it is necessary to reduce simple extrapolation based on revenue growth.I feel like the crypto space is full of a lot of messy nonsense news, which is why everyone keeps getting liquidated every day. People keep trying to decide their positions based on things like nonfarm payrolls and inflation data! That's inherently damn lagging. The problem is that the current logic of the crypto $BTC market has long been tied only to the Trump administration, and it has nothing to do with economic fundamentals anymore.
Back when Trump had absolute control, the entire crypto market was in a state of certainty with only slight fluctuations influenced by news in the broader environment and long-term trends. As the biggest bull for crypto $BTC, Trump would always try his best to push policies favorable to crypto. But now the logic has completely changed; it's no longer a one-man show. With the Democrats controlling Congress, they will definitely try every means to block the advancement of crypto legislation. It's going to be hard to see a stable bullish trend for $BTC in the future!
Honestly, the Bitcoin bubble is also quite serious. I've always thought that after Trump's term ended, the crypto space would likely suffer a heavy blow. Now it seems that day might come sooner than expected!
#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Waiting for Berkshire's Q3 report to come out
To be honest, right now I only focus on two numbers: operating profit and cash
The total net profit fluctuates too much, investment gains and losses can quickly swing by hundreds of millions or billions, which is not very meaningful. If operating profit can remain stable or slightly increase, it means the underlying insurance, railroad, and energy businesses are still making normal profits
If it drops significantly, that would be a real problem
Cash is even more critical. At the end of last quarter, it was about 360 billion, and this quarter they've already spent on buying Taylor Morrison and buybacks. If cash continues to decline, it means Greg Abel is getting serious; if it piles back up, then it's the same old story—lots of money but can't find cheap enough places to invest
When the numbers come out, I will just look at these two; no rush to draw conclusions on the others yet.An increase of about 20.7% in one week. When I see this number, it reminds me of a bit of life experience: when a store suddenly has more customers, it means people are willing to come in, but you can't just assume the kitchen is well-managed based on the crowd alone. After retiring and studying digital assets, I often use these simple truths to remind myself not to mistake the scene for the foundation.
According to DefiLlama, Aave V4 has about $807 million locked, with a single-day increase of 4.7%. My view is that this news carries more weight for those preparing to deposit assets than for those guessing market trends: as the scale grows, it should prompt people to check risks rather than skip the checks for them.
The reason is not complicated. TVL is influenced both by capital inflows and outflows and by token prices; it is not a safety rating. If the new funds heavily rely on similar collateral assets, then when facing the same price shock, risks may be exposed simultaneously — this is my speculation, as the data does not provide asset distribution. Looking only at the total amount neither reveals this structural layer nor proves the protocol's ability to withstand shocks is stronger.
Young friends, you can watch the excitement, but don't skip the homework. At my age, I learn slowly and would rather ask one more question: "What guarantees the safety of the money put in?" If you want to further understand Aave V4, would you first check the concentration of collateral assets or look at the liquidation mechanism? Why?#Berkshire's massive cash reserves, earnings report to reveal the latest developments Earnings season #NVIDIA #JensenHuangGTCspeech
Position attached: BTC spot (quick profit) + BTCUSDT perpetual 10x long (full position)
The core of making money in earnings season is not "good performance," but "expectation gap."
NVIDIA's recent results exceeded expectations, but the stock rose too much before the earnings report, opening high then plunging (selling the fact). My indicator: expectation gap = excess EPS ÷ price increase in the 20 days before the earnings report; a large denominator = good news likely fully priced in.

Logic: With Nasdaq volatility, crypto follows the decline, not the rise. Spot resists volatility, contracts capitalize on the short-term long driven by the AI narrative in the GTC speech, risk controlled within 2%.
Profiting from emotional recovery; the above is a personal record and does not constitute investment advice; contracts carry high risk and require caution. On Saturday, the US stock market is closed, but stock tokens like SPCX and SNDK in Orbit are still fluctuating. Let's talk about their weekend pricing.
After the US market closes, without actual stock trades as an anchor, token prices basically rely on the last closing price stored by the oracle, plus the platform's own order book game — it's less about trading stocks and more about voting on the "Monday opening price.🔥 $BTC The large cycle downtrend structure remains unbroken, small cycle rebound lacks volume: is this support or a consolidation?
Recently, many crypto friends asked a very interesting question: Before Trump took office, Bitcoin surged from around 75,000 to 120,000. Now that Trump is clearing out Bitcoin and this phase is about to end, will Bitcoin fall back below 70,000?
First, a correction: this is not a "prediction" issue, because it is currently fluctuating above 75,000.
CME Bitcoin futures closed at 75,785 last night, with an intraday low of 74,810, and about 140 billion market value evaporated within 4 hours. That means the 75,000 level has just been touched. So the real question is: is this support or a consolidation before further decline?
The meaning of 75,000 is completely different.
Before Trump took office in 2024, Bitcoin had just risen from 68,000, ETF volume was just starting, incremental inflows, plus expectations of interest rate cuts and speculative trading.
Compared to the low after a 25% pullback from the 100,000 high at the beginning of the year, plus institutional pricing with ETF down 27% in one year, flows are priced out plus expectations and realization of rate hikes.
So don’t take "returning to 75,000" as a symmetrical reference — 75,000 in 2024 was a floor, now 75,000 is a contested level below the ceiling. In June this year, it even broke below 60,000 according to Securities Times, indicating the market’s lower boundary is looser than most people remember.The U.S. added 165,000 jobs in October, significantly stronger than expected, with the unemployment rate dropping to 4.1%. The tougher the economy holds up, the less eager the Federal Reserve is to ease, causing the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields to rise accordingly. For the crypto space, this kind of "good data" is actually not good news.
More striking is the capital flow. On November 6, the U.S. spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of $411.9 million, marking two consecutive trading days of heavy losses. Over the past seven trading days, the cumulative net outflow is about $1.9 billion. While U.S. tech stocks can still rebound from overselling, BTC lacks genuine incremental buying.
So the current market is quite conflicted: after large-scale short liquidations, bears dare not chase, and bottom-fishing funds are unwilling to lift the price, resulting in prices appearing to stabilize but trading volume not returning.
This feels more like a breather after a crash. What the market truly needs is not a sudden bullish candle but for ETFs to stop outflows and for trading volume to steadily expand. Before these signals appear, any rebound could be quickly taken profit on, and rapid pullbacks are likely during downtrends. The hardest part in this phase is not being wrong on direction but being repeatedly harvested by the back-and-forth volatility. Therefore, any operation must be carefully considered. I've always been puzzled: every time I see "major trades of $672 million," the market doesn't move at all.
Later I realized that this number is the sum of buys and sells. $BTC buys $368 million, sells $304 million, totaling $672 million. It sounds like big money is rushing in, but the net difference is only $63.47 million. $ETH is even funnier, buys $370 million, sells $364 million, a difference of $5.54 million, which means two parties are just exchanging hands with no one gaining an advantage.
So that excitement about "whales entering the market" is mostly just scaring yourself.
As for the $2.9 billion+ on the order book walls, positive numbers mean there are people ready to take orders below. But orders can be withdrawn anytime, just like shouting prices in a market; shouting doesn't guarantee a purchase.XMR funding rate surged to 0.0372% per hour, annualized at about 326%. I judge this as a crowded signal against a healthy trend, not proof of strength; a 0.88% drop in 24 hours actually indicates that the bulls are paying to hold on hard. The trend is the best friend.
I follow three rules for trend trading: first, check if the price cooperates—XMR has not yet cooperated; second, check if the sentiment is overheated—this funding rate is already overheated; third, do not guess the turning point based on high funding rates, wait for structural confirmation. It intensifies speculative sentiment but weakens the quality of the market. What do you use now to judge the trend: price, funding rate, or open interest?Seeing "main force 24-hour trading volume of $672 million," the first reaction is that big money has entered. But the trading volume sums up both buys and sells together, counting both sides of the same matched trade; it measures activity, not direction.
Breaking it down: $BTC buy volume is $368 million, sell volume $304 million, net difference $63.47 million, only 9.4% of total volume. Buyers are more active, but over 90% is just matched turnover. $ETH buy volume is $370 million, sell volume $364 million, net difference $5.54 million, less than 0.8% of the $734 million total. The trading volume is even larger than BTC, but directional bias is almost zero.
Money is moving, but not choosing direction; it looks more like repeated turnover at the same price level providing liquidity. BTC's directional bias is more than ten times that of ETH; active buy orders concentrate on BTC, while ETH just follows the volume increase.
Looking at order books: $BTC net order difference is $2.969 billion, $ETH $2.95 billion, both positive, meaning limit buy orders below the current price exceed sell orders, showing support. But this is just intention, not a promise: orders can be placed but also withdrawn before execution. A $2.9 billion wall holding the order book and $2.9 billion actually being eaten are two different things.
The judgment is a structure biased toward bullishness but with weak strength. There is support below and no heavy selling pressure above, so the price is unlikely to collapse easily, but it does not support the idea that "the main force has boarded and is about to push up." What to watch is whether the wall thins as the price approaches—thinning means order withdrawal; being eaten means real buying.
The net difference accounts for only a few percentage points; direction is decided by that small group, while the rest of the volume is just accompanying the move.On November 7, trader Ansem posted that he believes the short-term weakness in $ZEC is indicating the next direction for major crypto assets.
Ansem stated that $ZEC had previously performed strongly, but most unrealized profits are also concentrated there. LINK spot fund has had zero inflow or outflow for 4 consecutive trading days, with only Grayscale GLNK moving on November 6 Eastern Time, experiencing a single-day net outflow of 1.06 million USD
This does not mean institutions are running away
The cumulative net inflow is still about 176 million USD
One entity is active, not the entire market withdrawing
$LINKAfter reading, I noted three things. What made me stop the most was Apple and Meta explicitly opposing stock tokenization, rather than someone else announcing support for on-chain stocks. The material says this project, supported by OKX and ICE, has a potentially reduced range of stocks due to corporate opposition.
1. I see this as a resistance to product implementation, but not directly as evidence of insufficient user demand. Whether companies are willing to participate and whether ordinary users want to use it are two separate lists; drawing conclusions about one based on the other feels like a leap.
2. I am more concerned about whether this resistance will increase implementation costs. This is my speculation: if subsequent coordination is needed with each company, then product expansion will be difficult to advance solely based on technical progress. For the sentiment in the related sector, the previously imagined rapid replication may need to be replaced with slower expectations.
3. From the perspective of ordinary users, I would first look at what specific rights can be obtained and what usage restrictions exist, then consider how convenient the on-chain process is. The material does not explain these, so I would rather leave it blank for now than automatically assume "stock tokens" are exactly the same as direct stock ownership.
In my list, I first record this news as an implementation obstacle, then focus on product rules next, without rushing to judge the entire sector's success or failure.#伯克希尔巨额现金储备，财报将披露最新动向 The Fear and Greed Index dropped to 25 today, entering extreme fear — beginners see this and want to buy the dip, but veterans first ask: during fear, is the position volume actually decreasing or increasing?
Saturday midday science popularization. First, how to use it: The Fear and Greed Index is a contrarian sentiment indicator, not a buy button. Extreme fear only tells you the odds are improving, not that the bottom has been reached.
It ranges from 0 to 100, calculated comprehensively from volatility, momentum volume, social media sentiment, market cap dominance, trends, and other dimensions. Below 25 is extreme fear, above 75 is extreme greed. Why use it inversely: when everyone is fearful, those wanting to sell have basically sold out, leaving only those who can hold; when everyone is greedy, new money has entered, and no one is left to catch the fall.
But it can be deceptive. In strong trends, extreme fear can become even more fearful. This BTC cycle dropped from 81,000 to 74,800, the index stayed in the fear zone all along, and every dip buy was buried because in a downtrend, cheap has no bottom.
Today's market is exactly the opposite. The index is at 25 extreme fear, yet BTC open interest is rising at 612.8 million contracts, up over 11 million since this morning, and the funding rate just flipped negative at -0.000052. In fear, new longs and shorts are still betting against each other, not clearing out. This combination looks more like a downtrend continuation rather than a bottom.
Sentiment indicators help you control impulses, not make decisions for you; positions should only be held for confirmed signals.
$BTC $ETHWhy has the US stock market recently been more volatile than altcoins? The main reason is mechanical selling pressure and amplified volatility caused by rules. There are three reasons; I'll explain one now that can be used later.
One very important reason for the mechanical selling pressure amplifying volatility is that the overall market-making structure of US stock market makers has entered a negative Gamma state. The more it falls, the more they sell, no longer smoothing volatility but amplifying it. Negative Gamma acts as an amplifier. The main forced selling reason is not, as many speculate, the liquidation of some funds (which does happen), but mainly the mechanical rebalancing of volatility funds. This is determined by the volatility fund mechanism and must be done as a selling rebalance. Before the midterm elections, I joked that the only thing I was sure of was going long volatility: "It either goes up or down, but it won't stay flat." Many thought this was useless information, but it can actually be used to make money by going long volatility. Bank of America has been promoting buying volatility insurance for a month and a half, and previously volatility was very low, insurance was cheap, cost was low, and returns were high, so many people went long volatility, making these funds quite large.
This is also why you can't bottom-fish today; retail buying cannot offset institutional mechanical selling pressure. Moreover, the largest retail force, ETFs, are also seeing outflows, which is another source of mechanical selling pressure. Leveraged ETFs must sell, while passive index ETFs have long been unable to keep up. One in, one out, selling pressure doubles with no end in sight in the short term. This was already rehearsed once with leveraged ETFs in the Korean stock market. This part is both an amplifier and a source of selling pressure.
If you don't understand, just don't watch. Just remember that institutions are selling because no one is buying, and they haven't finished selling yet.BTC and ETH longs are being liquidated, while ZEC is experiencing a short squeeze
As of November 7, 03:45 UTC, in the 24-hour liquidations across four exchanges, $BTC had about $42.01 million and $ETH about $33.35 million, both dominated by long liquidations; $ZEC had about $9.46 million, with short liquidations at $6.68 million, exceeding longs at $2.78 million. While mainstream coins are liquidating longs, ZEC is liquidating shorts, indicating a divergence in capital flow.
CoinGecko's derivatives snapshot on the same day shows ZEC's price rose about 6.7% in 24 hours, open interest (OI) increased about 26.9%, and the 8-hour funding rate was approximately +0.0068%. Although these data points are not from the exact same second snapshot, they both indicate relative strength for ZEC. Price increase and OI expansion suggest higher participation in new positions; combined with dominant short liquidations, there is a short squeeze element in the short term, but this cannot be entirely attributed to spot buying.
This kind of market is most likely to cause people to chase during the acceleration phase. If the price continues to rise and OI moderately increases, the strength may persist; if OI spikes but price stagnates, new positions may become crowded.
I prefer to wait for a pullback confirmation rather than chase just because of gains. Do you think this is a new trend or a short covering?
#美股遭大幅抛售：费城半导体指数创2020年3月以来最大单日跌幅 #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 #美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% The old whale who bottomed out 10,376 $ETH at $1,626 back in June has added to their position again after a full 5 months!
The giant whale dumped 19.7 million USDT within an hour and bought 8,775 $ETH at $2,245. On-chain, there are clear signs of batch token swaps, using Uniswap and Wintermute channels.
Calculating it all, they now hold a total of 23,097 ETH, with a portfolio value of about $51.69 million, averaging a cost basis of $1,909.
This giant whale is not the type to trade short-term for quick gains. They held their position for a long time after the last low-level layout, and now that the market has risen, they are still willing to increase their stake, indicating confidence in ETH's mid-to-long-term outlook.
But a reminder: a whale adding to their position does not mean an immediate price pump; it's just a capital signal, so don't blindly follow the rush.First, let's lay out the numbers from the last round, without any embellishment. TRX long entered at 0.31738, exited at 0.31934, +0.60%, take profit at 0.318468 was hit. ZEC short entered at 1311.33, current price 1316.24, -0.37% unrealized loss, take profit at 1254.64 and stop loss at 1345.34 were not touched, not hit. XRP short entered at 1.1550, current price 1.1694, -1.30% unrealized loss, stop loss at 1.1703 was narrowly missed, not hit. Out of three trades, one hit, hit rate 33%, I won't hide this number. The most valuable spike in 48 hours: the whole network had $1.05 billion liquidated in 24 hours, 88% of which were long positions; Bitcoin plunged from 81,105 down to 74,780, an 11-week low, then was quickly pushed back above 76,000. This is not a problem unique to crypto — the AI trading line in US stocks was broken in the middle, with the Nasdaq down 7% in a day, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down over 12%, Nvidia falling below $200, and the fear index soaring to 70% in one day. Money was pulled out from the entire risk asset space, not just from within crypto. Here's a counterintuitive fact: when the overall readings look the worst, that's precisely when leverage is the cleanest. This account needs to be settled clearly. Long leverage wasn't closed because someone convinced them, but because their stop-loss orders were executed one by one. The main force of liquidations are those chasing highs, notNon-farm employment data exceeded expectations, boosting market expectations for a hawkish Federal Reserve. On Friday evening, ETH came under pressure and retreated. Entering the weekend, the market entered a low-volume consolidation pattern. Over the weekend, U.S. stocks and bonds were closed, macro liquidity was weak, and overall trading volume shrank significantly. Neither bulls nor bears had enough incremental funds to initiate a breakout, resulting in narrowed market volatility mainly to digest the negative sentiment from the non-farm data. On the capital side, ETH spot ETFs continued to see outflows, with institutional funds showing a cautious preference; on the contract side, a large number of long positions were cleared on Friday, releasing some short-term leverage pressure, but selling pressure has not completely disappeared. Technically, ETH is currently repeatedly testing support around $2200, which is a key observation level. Holding this support is necessary to have a chance to test resistance near $2350; once it breaks down effectively, the downside space will further open. Without new macro data catalysts over the weekend, the market is likely to maintain a narrow range consolidation, with volatility concentrated in Monday's early trading after liquidity recovers. Key attention should be paid to the linkage between U.S. bonds, the dollar, and ETF fund flows. The Strait of Hormuz is not just a shipping lane, but an opened chessboard: the king's wing pawn is already at the cannon's mouth; whoever blinks first will have their midgame exposed. The "limited strike" on November 6 seemed to only target air defense facilities, but in fact was a first-move exchange—using a controlled military trade to probe the opponent's response, while keeping the diplomatic line half-open. The temporary arrangement brokered by Qatar is like a draw proposal in an endgame: it allows a breather, but does not mean the central square has been secured. Iran insists on meeting conditions first, which is equivalent to refusing a free pawn; Washington continues to weigh further military action against diplomatic solutions, a dual-line calculation before doubling rooks on the same file—one line applies pressure, the other negotiates exchange.
The real focus is not on "whether to reopen," but on who holds the initiative for passage rights. Once Hormuz shipping resumes, the risk premium will be like a hanging pawn removed, and the board will immediately lighten; but as long as conditions are unmet, the temporary arrangement remains a restraint, able to pin optimistic expectations in place at any time. The linkage with the US stock token $xLITE is here as well: it feeds on the composite wave of US stock risk appetite and shipping expectations, and when the market is thin, it resembles a few-pawn endgame where any threat of a checkmate is magnified. The opening focuses on the center, the midgame on compensation; a sacrificed piece without compensation is a miscalculation. If the limited strike does not secure the shipping lane, it simply gives the opponent tempo. Position management is the same—not reacting step-by-step, but calculating the king's safety, open lines, and endgame pieces twenty moves ahead before making a move. Until Hormuz's open line is truly cleared, every pulse of $xLITE is just a bluff before checkmate. #HormuzReopeningDispute
