Recently, there has been some change noticed in the cryptocurrency industry, with many media outlets beginning to pay attention to issues of stance and transparency in the digital currency field. Take CoinDesk, for example; this well-known media outlet in the crypto circle recently publicly released some of their policy statements regarding editorial independence and conflicts of interest.
Interestingly, they openly admit to being affiliated with Bullish, which itself has investments in the digital currency and digital asset sectors. This raises a very practical question—when your parent compa

I just looked at the recent market movements, and Bitcoin has fallen from $67,000 to now, definitely under significant short-term pressure. The underlying logic is quite clear—U.S. Treasury yields are climbing again, approaching 4.5%, which is a one-year high, and the dollar is strengthening. This is inherently bearish for risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
The most direct manifestation is that over $50 million in long positions were liquidated within an hour yesterday, with Bitcoin accounting for the majority—about 70% of the liquidations came from BTC positions. I checked on-chain data, and

Recently, it has been observed that crypto exchanges are increasingly active in competing for institutional clients. EDX Markets, an exchange supported by several traditional financial giants, has applied for a national trust bank license from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. What does this mean? Once approved, they will be able to offer custody, asset management, and proprietary trading services through an independently regulated trust entity, rather than simply building a matching platform.
This is a quite interesting phenomenon. Traditional financial institutions entering

Lately, I’ve been annoyed by SMS verification again. Registering for overseas accounts often requires phone number verification, and I can’t keep buying new SIM cards every time. I later discovered that these SMS receiving websites are just services that provide virtual numbers to receive texts. After using them for a while, I ran into quite a few pitfalls, so I’ve summarized a few reliable SMS verification sites to share.
Basically, SMS verification sites rent virtual phone numbers to receive verification codes. They cover various countries and regions. After registering, you select a number

Recently, I saw someone asking about black U on the forum, and I think it's important to clarify this clearly to prevent others from falling into a trap.
Let's start with the basics. USDT is a stablecoin issued by Tether, theoretically pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. But have you heard of black U? This stuff is actually USDT circulated through illegal channels, possibly involving money laundering, hacking thefts, and similar activities. In some regions with strict regulations, USDT also circulates on the black market, which is the source of black U.
Here's the question: Will Tether mark addresses

Recently, I’ve been researching Dogecoin mining and realized that this thing isn’t as complicated as I thought, and it’s much friendlier than Bitcoin mining. The core of Dogecoin mining is verifying transactions on the blockchain through computational power and earning DOGE rewards. For each block successfully mined, the miner gets 10,000 DOGE. At the current price of $0.09, that’s roughly worth about $900 per block.
The key to mining is choosing the right hardware. If you just want to try it out, you can start with a CPU, although it’s not very efficient. If you want to get serious, a GPU is

Recently, I went through another round of testing virtual number platforms. I’ve encountered plenty of pitfalls before—some platforms simply don’t receive SMS, others have delays of half a day. In the end, I summarized a few decent ones to share with everyone.
Speaking of virtual numbers, it’s basically a service that rents virtual numbers to receive verification codes. Compared to buying new SIM cards, this is much more convenient for registering on overseas websites and testing interfaces. Among the platforms I’ve used, SMS-Activate and 5SIM perform the most reliably, with verification codes

I recently looked at a 2025 economic ranking of Middle Eastern countries, and it was quite interesting. The economic landscape in this region is much more complex than I had imagined.
First and foremost, Turkey is the most striking, with a nominal GDP of $1.44 trillion, directly surpassing other Middle Eastern economies. As a country spanning the Eurasian continent, its leading position in the Middle Eastern economic rankings indeed has unique advantages.
Next is Saudi Arabia, with $1.08 trillion, ranking second but still noticeably behind Turkey. However, as a major oil producer, Saudi Arabia

I recently recalled a legendary story from the crypto world. The name Mao Shixing, also known as Divine Fish, should be familiar in the community. From a student who entered the crypto space at 21, to founding Fish Pool mining pool, and experiencing multiple moments of sudden wealth and zeroing out, his journey is almost a microcosm of a decade of ups and downs in the crypto industry.
In the summer of 2011, Mao Shixing, then a sophomore at Beijing University of Chemical Technology, first encountered Bitcoin in the library. At that time, he probably didn't expect that this accidental discovery

Just got liquidated again on the copy trading of Liangxi, this guy's story is truly a legend in the crypto world.
The name Liangxi is well-known in the crypto circle. He's a 24-year-old post-00s, whose real name is Geng Zhiyu. His background sounds almost unbelievable—he was a national-level first-class swimmer at age 10, won the Hebei Province King of Glory championship at 15, but later was sent to a cyber addiction rehab school by his father due to gaming obsession. This experience seemed like a setback but actually tempered his mental resilience and helped him earn his first 200,000 yuan th

Recently, many friends have asked me about storing crypto assets, especially how to choose a cold wallet. To be honest, this is a good question because choosing the right wallet can significantly improve security. I’ve noticed that many investors are now paying attention to hardware cold wallets, mainly because they store assets offline, acting like a safe for your cryptocurrencies. Plus, the USB form factor makes them easy to carry, which is why hardware cold wallets have always been highly regarded.
There are quite a few mainstream hardware cold wallets available on the market this year. Tre

Recently, I needed to register for overseas websites using a temporary phone number again, and I remembered the pitfalls I encountered before. Actually, using a verification code platform can solve this problem, saving the trouble of buying a new SIM card. These services provide virtual numbers to receive SMS messages. I’ve tried quite a few before—some platforms simply don’t receive messages, others have long delays. Eventually, I found a few decent ones to share with everyone.
SMS-Activate is the most frequently used; verification codes usually arrive within 10 seconds, and it covers many co

Recently, I needed to verify some accounts temporarily. I tried several SMS verification platforms, ran into many issues, and finally found a few more reliable ones. Sharing my experience to save everyone from unnecessary hassle.
SMS verification platforms basically rent virtual numbers to receive SMS codes, which is especially useful for registering overseas websites or testing APIs. Some platforms I used before were really unreliable—SMS took forever to arrive, or sometimes I didn't receive them at all. Later, I tried SMS-Activate and 5SIM, and their stability improved significantly. Usually

Recently, I’ve been pondering a question: what will the next super app in crypto look like?
When we open a banking app, whether it’s a traditional bank or a digital bank, the interface looks pretty much the same—accounts, transfers, wealth management, loans. Essentially, banks help us manage four basic relationships: saving, spending, earning, and borrowing. Ten years ago, mobile internet gave rise to digital banks like SoFi and Revolut, bringing branch services into our phones, making financial services no longer a privilege for the few.
Now, a decade into the crypto era, I increasingly belie

Recently, I’ve been pondering a fundamental question: What is the real threat to Bitcoin? It’s not government bans or price volatility, but a deeper mathematical issue—quantum computing.
This matter is actually quite frightening. The 1.1 million Bitcoins in Satoshi’s wallet, along with about 25% of the circulating supply, are exposed to a risk: if someone gains access to a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, cracking these public wallets could become possible. For traditional computers, breaking ECDSA signatures would take millions of years, but a quantum computer might do it in minutes to

Recently, I looked at the data for Solana spot ETFs, and the net inflow this week is quite interesting. During last week's trading days (the week at the end of February in Eastern Time), there was a total net inflow of $44.44 million, indicating that institutional interest in SOL is still ongoing.
Among them, Bitwise's BSOL performed the strongest, with a weekly inflow of $39.17 million. Since its launch, this product has accumulated a net inflow of $733 million. Fidelity's FSOL is close behind, with a weekly inflow of only $2.58 million, but its total historical inflow has reached $163 millio
