Bitcoin has recently fluctuated between $85,000 and $90,000, with market instability. Next week's $23 billion options expiration could intensify volatility, with a bearish sentiment prevailing. Trading volume is high but mainly driven by leveraged funds, with insufficient fundamental support.

The US court approved a motion to amend, allowing the plaintiff to re-submit new evidence for the class action lawsuit against Pump.fun, Jito Labs, and the Solana Foundation.

【Crypto World】A well-known trader's recent moves can be described as "quick and nimble." Nine hours ago, he flashed into a BTC long position in 13 minutes, took a profit of $6,292, and immediately exited. Then he made two consecutive ZEC trades, using ultra-short-term combos of 4 minutes and 17 minutes, earning another $2,982. HYPE also didn't miss out, securing $2,642 from a 14-minute long position.
These short-term trades look good, but the real "big one" is ETH. His ETH long position has already expanded to 4,000 coins, with a current market value of about $11.32 million. The problem is, this large position is currently at a loss—an unrealized loss of $410,000.
Even more heartbreaking is that from 20:37 last night to 03:52 this morning, through repeated adding and reducing positions in ETH, he lost a total of $359,000. It seems he was trying to lower his average cost, but the result was instead...

Investors should remain vigilant.

【Crypto World】An interesting topic worth pondering—future large-scale adoption of cryptocurrencies by AI and robots. This seems less like an option and more an inevitable trend.
Why do I say that? Imagine agents engaging in value exchange. Traditional financial systems are virtually useless to them—unable to open bank accounts, complete KYC verification, selfie identity authentication, or swipe cards. These processes are inherently designed for humans and hold no meaning for autonomous agents.
In contrast, the advantages of cryptocurrencies are obvious. They require no intermediaries, no identity verification, and are available 24/7, naturally fitting machine-to-machine interaction scenarios. That’s why it’s said that robots "have no other choice."
There’s also a key concept called deep payment—this mainly refers to entity interactions at the robot level. Imagine unmanned systems and autonomous devices that need to directly complete payments, settlements, and resource exchanges. Cryptocurrencies in this dimension

The latest CPI data is significantly below expectations, and the market reaction is evident, with stock index futures rising and government bonds gaining. This inflation report has sparked discussions among institutions about the possibility of rate cuts in 2026, pushing the Federal Reserve towards a dovish stance and potentially creating a moderate policy environment.
