“Short the dip, buy the rip?”

FOMC shows what about Bitcoin price volatility

Bitcoin has bounced above 94,000 USD before today's FOMC decision — but history shows that the most significant volatility often occurs after announcements.

Key points from the FOMC meetings in 2025:
• BTC often drops after FOMC, even when the Fed cuts interest rates
• Money flow + leverage increase significantly before the meeting → thin liquidity afterwards
• The sharpest drops come after interest rate cuts (–6.9% and –8%)
• The market often prices in dovish expectations early, causing BTC to lack new buying power
• FOMC acts as a position reset point, not a price catalyst

Some analyses warn that the average drop of ~8% post-FOMC could pull BTC back to 88,000 USD before recovering.

🚀 The Satoshi Nakamoto statue has officially appeared at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) — marking a historic turning point in Wall Street's attitude towards Bitcoin.

Once considered "taboo," crypto is now displayed right in the heart of the world's largest traditional financial center. The work of Valentina Picozzi is the 6th statue in a total of 21 statues that will be placed globally — reminiscent of the maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoin.

Picozzi stated that the statue represents "the disappearance" of Satoshi and honors the developers who built the decentralized foundation of Bitcoin. 🌍

Other locations: Switzerland 🇨🇭, El Salvador 🇸🇻, Japan 🇯🇵, Vietnam 🇻🇳, and Miami 🇺🇸.

Now — it's NYSE's turn. A clear sign of a changing era. ⚡️🟧

🔥 Bhutan launches the gold token TER on Solana 🔥

💥 Bhutan officially issues TER – a gold token backed by the state on Solana, managed by GMC.
TER is backed 100% by physical gold, DK Bank holds & distributes, Matrixdock provides infrastructure.

📣 A pilot step in the strategy of tokenizing national assets.
🔍 Bhutan currently holds ~5.984 BTC and promotes the application of blockchain at the state level.

🔈🔈 Vietnam imposes a 0.1% tax on digital asset transactions starting from 1/7/2026

💥 The National Assembly has passed the amended Personal Income Tax Law, officially bringing digital assets (Bitcoin, Ethereum,…) into the taxable category.
✔️ Tax rate: 0.1% on the value of each transfer transaction (regardless of profit or loss)
✔️ Effective date: From 01/07/2026
✔️ Applicable to: Digital assets, cryptocurrency used for investment/exchange (excluding securities or fiat currency)

⭐️ Noteworthy:
✔️ Investors must trade through exchanges licensed by the Ministry of Finance
✔️ After the trial period, off-system transactions may be penalized or subject to liability

🛡 This is the first step to bring crypto into the official legal framework in Vietnam, paving the way for a more transparent market but also increasing transaction costs for investors.

Do Kwon has officially been sentenced to 15 years in prison by a US court after causing over 50B USD in financial damage worldwide from $LUNA and $LUNC in 2022.

🔥 BlackRock asks SEC to approve Ethereum ETF with integrated staking 🔥

💥 BlackRock has just submitted a filing for the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF, allowing the fund to stake 70–90% ETH to generate additional profits for investors.

✨ Coinbase Custody serves as the primary custodian; BNY Mellon & Anchorage provide support.
✨ Staking through professional providers to reduce risk.
✨ This is an expansion step after BlackRock already had the ETH spot ETF ETHA with $17 billion AUM.

📌 If approved, the new model could reduce the circulating supply of ETH and affect market liquidity.

🔈🔈 Fed cuts interest rates by 25bps: Signals of a "soft hawk" & impact on BTC

💥 The Fed cut 25 basis points in yesterday's FOMC meeting – in line with market expectations. But what stands out is not the rate cut, but the "soft hawk" attitude in the accompanying message.

🔍 Why is it called a "soft hawk"?
✔️ Although the Fed continues to ease, the minutes and statements show internal divisions, with concerns about persistent inflation.
✔️ The dot-plot does not indicate a deep cut in the near future → market expectations of a sharp decline are no longer certain.
✔️ The Fed maintains a cautious tone: "It is still too early to believe that price pressures have disappeared."

📉 Immediate impact on Bitcoin
✔️ BTC pumped before the news, surpassing 94,000 USD at the beginning of the week (buy the rumor).
✔️ When the news came out with a hawkish tone → slight adjustment pressure, BTC returned to trade in a sideways range.
✔️ This is a natural reaction when the market realizes: the Fed is not yet ready to pivot strongly.

👑 The Fed has cut rates, but the market cannot celebrate yet. BTC needs a new boost beyond the interest rate narrative.

⚠️ Fitch Ratings warns of increased risks for U.S. banks with high crypto exposure.

Crypto can help boost revenue, but Fitch states it carries risks related to reputation, liquidity, operations, and compliance. Major banks like JPMorgan, BofA, Citi, and Wells Fargo may face downgrades if their exposure to digital assets continues to rise.

Fitch also warns of systemic risks from stablecoins 🚨 — excessive growth could impact the U.S. Treasury bond market and undermine monetary policy.

🚀 The XRP bull is getting stronger — is a breakout coming soon?

XRP has just risen to $2.10, up 3% in 24 hours and 15% from a recent low. The upward momentum is supported by macroeconomic and technical factors:

🏦 $245 million flowed into XRP investment products last week

📊 The Spot XRP ETF has seen 15 consecutive days of positive cash flow, with AUM approaching $900 million

📈 Over 72% of traders are holding long positions, and the funding rate has turned positive

🔥 Institutional demand is surging, with over 400 million XRP locked in ETF products

Technically, XRP is narrowing in a symmetrical triangle pattern and preparing for a breakout. If it closes above $2.15–$2.30, the next target could be $2.40 → $2.65.

Is a new ATH approaching? 👀⚡

🇺🇸 Trump's new National Security Strategy surprises by not mentioning crypto or blockchain, despite his earlier emphasis that the U.S. must not allow 🇨🇳 to "lead in the field of crypto."

Instead, the document strongly focuses on AI 🤖, biotechnology 🧬, and quantum computing ⚛️ as the nation's core priorities.

This absence raises many questions, especially as Trump has recently:
✔️ Passed the GENIUS law on stablecoins
✔️ Established a federal crypto task force
✔️ Issued a ban on CBDCs in the U.S.
✔️ Built the government's Bitcoin reserve ₿

Meanwhile, BTC remains below 90,000 USD, and the market is awaiting the Fed's interest rate decision — where many investors hope a rate cut might boost risk assets.

🔥 StableChain officially launches mainnet – USDT becomes gas fee 🔥

💥 Stable Protocol (backed by Tether) has just launched StableChain, a Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed for stablecoins, with a major difference: using USDT as the gas fee, eliminating the need for volatile tokens to process transactions.

⭐️ Highlights:
✨ USDT as gas fee → stable, predictable cost
✨ Launch of Stable Foundation & governance token $STABLE
✨ Separation of payments (USDT) and network security (STABLE)
✨ Pre-deposit campaign attracts >2 billion USD from 24,000+ wallets
✨ Seed round of 28 million USD with Bitfinex, Hack VC & CEO Tether Paolo Ardoino

👑 StableChain is positioned as a large-scale stablecoin payment infrastructure, enhancing the role of USDT as the core of the blockchain network, while also demonstrating proactive engagement with global regulatory authorities right from the mainnet stage.

💥💥 CFTC allows the use of BTC, ETH, USDC as collateral for derivatives (pilot project)

🔥 From 08/12/2025, CFTC will launch a 3-month pilot program, allowing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC to be used as collateral in the derivatives market regulated by the U.S.

💎 Key implications:
✅ For the first time, crypto is officially accepted as collateral for derivatives
✅ Brings crypto activity back to the U.S. market, reducing reliance on offshore
✅ Paves the way for RWA & traditional finance on-chain

🛡 A clear signal: Crypto is being further legalized in the U.S. financial system.

⭐️⭐️Where can you buy and sell USDT, BTC, and ETH for VND at a good price in Vietnam? The answer is CryptoChange.app!

💥 When exchanging cryptocurrencies in Vietnam, users often encounter issues such as exchange rate discrepancies between platforms, hidden fees, and difficulties in assessing which exchange service is reliable. These factors can increase transaction costs and pose unnecessary risks.

🔥 CryptoChange.app is a platform that tracks real-time exchange rates, allowing users to compare USDT, BTC, and ETH to VND from various reputable exchange units in Vietnam on the same interface. This way, users can quickly identify reasonable market prices before proceeding with transactions.

⭐️ Using CryptoChange.app is very simple: users select the trading pair they want to exchange, view the available prices, and then directly access the appropriate exchange service to carry out the transaction. The platform does not conduct transactions and does not hold users' funds, ensuring that assets are always under the control of the users themselves.

🔍 Comparing prices before exchanging helps reduce price discrepancies, avoid hidden fees, and limit risks from unreliable sources. CryptoChange.app is suitable for traders locking in profits, freelancers exchanging USDT income for VND, and those who frequently trade cryptocurrencies in Vietnam.

🔥 ZKsync Lite officially "retired" from the year 2026 🔥

💥 ZKsync confirms it will cease operation of ZKsync Lite (v1.0) – the first ZK rollup of Ethereum launched in 2020.
The shutdown process will occur in a planned manner, along with guidance for safely withdrawing assets to Ethereum L1.

💎 Why was Lite discontinued?
✨ No support for smart contracts
✨ Outpaced by the zkEVM generation
✨ Matter Labs stopped developing Lite in 2023

⚙️ ZKsync is fully focused on the future
✨ The focus shifts to ZKsync Era (zkEVM)
✨ Developing ZK Stack architecture, modular & multi-chain
✨ Proposing a tokenomics overhaul: linked to cash flow, buyback & burn

👑 Even though "retired", ZKsync Lite is still recognized as the cornerstone of the ZK rollup era on Ethereum.

📣 This could be a step for ZKsync to reposition itself and compete more strongly in the Layer-2 race.

💥💥 BitMine “gom” mạnh ETH giữa lúc smart money đặt cược giảm giá

🔥 BitMine Immersion Technologies vừa mua thêm 199 triệu USD ETH trong 2 ngày (68 triệu USD thứ Bảy, 130,7 triệu USD thứ Sáu), bất chấp tâm lý thị trường ngắn hạn khá tiêu cực.

💎 Quy mô nắm giữ hiện tại:
✅ 11.3 billion USD ETH, tương đương 3.08% tổng nguồn cung Ethereum
✅ Nhắm tới mục tiêu tích lũy 5% tổng cung
✅ Còn 882 triệu USD tiền mặt sẵn sàng mua thêm

🚩 Bối cảnh trái chiều:
✅ Doanh nghiệp mua ETH giảm mạnh 81% trong 3 tháng
✅ Spot ETF ETH tiếp tục bị rút vốn (-75.2 triệu USD/ngày, tháng 11 rút ròng 1.4 billion USD)
✅ “Smart money” trên Nansen short ròng 21 triệu USD ETH, kỳ vọng giảm giá ngắn hạn

🛡 Trong khi trader chuyên nghiệp và ETF nghiêng về kịch bản giảm giá ngắn hạn, BitMine lại đánh cược lớn vào giá trị dài hạn của Ethereum — cho thấy sự phân hóa rõ rệt giữa tầm nhìn ngắn hạn và chiến lược dài hơi trên ETH.
