Xinjiang Mining Sites 'Taken Out in One Go', Bitcoin's Total Network Hash Rate Plummets?
Recently, the cryptocurrency market has been rife with rumors, and Bitcoin's price has come under pressure again after a brief consolidation. Behind this wave of market volatility, a piece of news from China is rapidly fermenting, becoming the focus of the global crypto community: rumors have emerged that large-scale Bitcoin mining sites in Xinjiang are facing a new round of centralized shutdowns, leading to a cliff-like drop in Bitcoin's total network hash rate. This event not only directly impacts miners' living conditions but also triggers a chain reaction regarding market selling pressure, hash rate migration, and regulatory policies on a global scale.

Binance announces listing process and blacklist, severely cracking down on third-party agency scams!
In the fast-paced, opportunity-filled, and risky jungle of cryptocurrency, being listed on Binance is undoubtedly a milestone that all emerging projects dream of.

Why are cryptocurrency traders anxious about the U.S. rate cut and Japan's rate hike?
In the winter of 2025, the cryptocurrency market did not welcome the anticipated 'Santa Claus rally'; instead, it was shrouded in a haze of tension and uncertainty. Bitcoin's price hovered around the psychological barrier of $90,000, with both bulls and bears engaging in fierce battles, and market sentiment was like walking on thin ice. The chill behind this is not due to a black swan inside the crypto world, but rather a perfect storm triggered by the starkly different monetary policy paths of the two major economies—America and Japan.
On one side, the Federal Reserve is opening the interest rate cut channel, releasing liquidity; on the other side, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is sharpening its knives, preparing to end decades of negative interest rates. Why does this macro drama of 'ease and tightness' make cryptocurrency traders, who are used to the winds and waves, feel unprecedented tension? The answer lies in a mechanism that profoundly affects global capital flows, as well as Bitcoin's high sensitivity to global liquidity.

Can American banks 'speculate in coins'? Cryptocurrency companies 'licensed' to open new financial gameplay!
In the world of cryptocurrency, the direction of regulation is always the most critical factor that moves the market's nerves. At the end of 2025, the U.S. financial regulatory field dropped two heavy bombs, not only marking a turning point for the long-standing 'debanking' dilemma faced by the crypto industry but also opening an unprecedented door for the integration of traditional banks and digital assets.
First, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) confirmed the systematic exclusion of the cryptocurrency industry by large banks over the past few years; then, the OCC turned its tone and conditionally approved the national trust bank licenses for five top cryptocurrency companies, and issued an explanatory letter clarifying new pathways for banks to participate in cryptocurrency transactions.

YouTube Opens Stablecoin Payments, Is Cryptocurrency Payment Becoming Mainstream Worldwide?
By the end of 2025, a seemingly simple update to a payment feature has sparked heated discussions in the global technology and finance circles. The world's largest video platform YouTube announced that it will allow content creators in the United States to choose to receive their earnings in the USD stablecoin PYUSD issued by PayPal. This is not just providing creators with a new payment option, but is seen as a watershed event — it marks the moment when top tech giants like Google have finally moved from a long-standing wait-and-see attitude to actual action, officially stepping into the realm of cryptocurrency payments. This move raises a deeper question: does this mean that the era of mainstream cryptocurrency payments is really about to arrive?

He Yi's WeChat was stolen to shout out tokens, and everyone in the crypto circle wants to ride on Binance's heat?
In the fast-moving, information-exploding world of cryptocurrencies, 'heat' and 'traffic' are almost equivalent to the code for wealth. As the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, any minor action from Binance and its executives can create enormous waves in the market. However, this unparalleled influence is a double-edged sword; it is both the cornerstone of Binance's success and makes it a target for opportunists, exploiters, and even attackers.
A series of recent events—from co-founder He Yi's WeChat account being hacked, to internal employees using official accounts for 'mouse warehouses' operations, to a careless typo by a senior executive giving birth to a meme coin with a market value of tens of millions of dollars—undoubtedly point to one core phenomenon: everyone in the crypto circle wants to ride on Binance's heat.

The United States Releases Latest National Security Strategy, Not Mentioning Cryptocurrency and Blockchain
Under the global spotlight, the Trump administration in the United States recently released its latest National Security Strategy (NSS) report. This programmatic document aims to outline America's core interests and strategic priorities on the global stage in the future. However, what surprised and even shocked the entire cryptocurrency industry is that in this lengthy report, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, which have been mentioned multiple times by the President himself, encountered a complete 'digital silence'—not mentioned at all.
This silence forms a stark contrast to the 'cryptocurrency-friendly' stance previously exhibited by President Trump and his administration, sparking widespread discussion in the crypto community and directly leading to fluctuations in market sentiment, with Bitcoin prices falling in response. What does the 'blank space' in this strategic document actually mean? Is it an unintentional oversight, or a well-considered strategic choice? This reveals the true views of Washington's decision-makers on this emerging field, as well as the subtle position of crypto assets in the global macroeconomic chessboard.

China's Stablecoin: How Do Chinese People View It?
The news disclosed by Reuters that 'China may consider issuing a RMB-based stablecoin' has stirred up significant waves in the global financial and cryptocurrency markets. The fact that this topic, long regarded as a 'taboo' in policy discussions, has come to the surface is itself enough to be interpreted as an important signal of a shift in direction.
This sudden discussion is not without reason. From the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) researching the use of stablecoins for cross-border oil settlements, to Hong Kong actively promoting a stablecoin regulatory sandbox, and the grassroots exploration of offshore RMB stablecoins, all indicate that the narrative around RMB stablecoins is entering a new and more complex stage. However, in the face of this potential move that may reshape the global financial landscape, the internal voices in China are not unanimous; instead, they present a complex picture of official caution, market enthusiasm, and public skepticism interwoven.

Is it impossible for China to issue stablecoins in the mainland? How will the digitalization of the renminbi develop?
Recently, discussions around the digitalization of the renminbi have presented a highly tense picture: on one side, the mainland of China maintains strict bans on cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, while on the other side, Hong Kong is ambitiously rolling out the red carpet, aiming to build a globally leading regulated virtual asset center. The stablecoin regulation that will take effect on August 1, 2025, by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, further escalates this 'ice and fire' comparison.
The market cannot help but ask: under the strict financial control walls of the mainland, will stablecoins ever have a chance to land? Where will the digitalization process of the renminbi ultimately lead? The answer is not simply 'yes' or 'no,' but reveals a carefully designed, complex, and multi-layered 'dual-track parallel' and 'trio' strategy.

Under the Ban, China's Bitcoin Mining Hash Rate Recovers, Returning as the Third Largest Mining Country?
In the torrent of history, some chapters seem to have long been predetermined, yet they always reappear in unexpected ways. In 2021, the Chinese government, with a thunderous momentum and out of dual considerations for financial stability and energy security, comprehensively banned cryptocurrency mining activities. A ban caused the once dominant Chinese mining industry, which accounted for half of the global Bitcoin hash rate, to suddenly fall silent, with millions of mining machines extinguishing their lights overnight, staging an epic 'hash rate migration'. However, four years later, a surprising reality is quietly emerging: China's Bitcoin mining activities have not only not disappeared, but have instead revived in a secretive and tenacious manner, with its hash rate share climbing to third in the world.

Binance and Zhao Changpeng sued by over 300 American families?
The founder of Binance, Zhao Changpeng (CZ), has once again found himself and his cryptocurrency empire at the center of a legal storm.
