Polkadot shifts to a conservative model: What should investors do?
The change from spending 87 million USD in the first half of 2024 to just over 7 million USD in the last quarter of 2025 shows a drastic shift for Polkadot. The project is trying to escape the shadow of a "money burner" to become more pragmatic. The most notable point is that they have started prioritizing the accumulation of stablecoins to protect their treasury against market volatility. #anh_ba_cong
The advice for everyone right now is not to FOMO too much based on profit news, but also not to be overly negative. Polkadot is in a "restructuring" phase under the guidance of Gavin Wood. Focusing the budget on development rather than promotion is a right step to build internal strength. However, the risk regarding the price of the DOT token still exists due to inflationary pressure and the overall market trend. Consider this a long-term accumulation phase. The best risk management right now is to monitor whether Polkadot can maintain this level of profitability in the coming quarters. If they continue to uphold financial discipline, confidence from large funds will return. $DOT

INIT has officially broken the long-term downtrend channel on the daily chart, opening up opportunities for a parabolic growth phase. With a technical target of up to 391.36%, this is a critical time for everyone to observe the confirmation support above the crossing resistance line. Be ready to accompany the new growth wave as demand starts to completely dominate. $INIT

Ripple Treasury: When the speed of blockchain "swallows" the old banking system
You see, Ripple is no longer just a pure cryptocurrency project but is becoming a true "giant" in financial infrastructure. With the newly launched Ripple Treasury platform, companies can now transfer money across borders in just 3 to 5 seconds instead of waiting a tedious 3 to 5 days as before. That's how it is; using the stablecoin RLUSD allows for almost instant cash flow, turning slow banking systems into a thing of the past.
What excites me the most is that Ripple has directly integrated with cryptocurrency money market funds like BlackRock's BUIDL. This allows businesses to earn from idle capital 24/7, regardless of holidays or late nights. As large organizations begin to "land" using this service, Ripple's position in the financial industry will be stronger than ever. This is a clear testament that the practical application of blockchain is entering everyday life, helping everyone trust more in the long-term future of the market. $XRP #Colecolen

XRP and psychological barriers: Can the ETF money flow save the price?
Looking at numbers like 91 million USD poured into ETFs or the increase in million-dollar wallets, many of you must be very excited. However, that's the situation; we need to look directly at the price chart to avoid falling into the trap of being overly optimistic. XRP is still stuck in a long-term downtrend and continuously fails to conquer the 2 USD mark. Even when good news is pouring in, the price still hovers around 1.88 USD, indicating that selling pressure above is still extremely heavy. #anhbacong
The inability of the price to break through the 50-day moving average (MA50) is a signal that the bulls are running out of steam. You should remember that, even if whales are accumulating, they have a vision measured in years, while if we use excessive leverage at this level, we can easily find ourselves "on an island" before we can see the dawn. The current market is prioritizing a defensive mentality and avoiding risks. If leading coins do not soon show signs of recovery to guide the money flow, XRP will find it very difficult to create a sustainable comeback on its own. Don't be too hasty to go "all in" just because you see a few million-dollar wallets popping up on the electronic board. $XRP

CZ's effect and explosive expectations for the Momo ecosystem
Do you guys still remember the divine push of the TUT project in 2025? Just after being followed by CZ, the market capitalization of that project skyrocketed past 100 million USD. That's how it is; history seems to be repeating itself as CZ just hit "follow" on the Momo account on X on 31/01/2026. In the cryptocurrency market, the interest of market leaders is always the strongest "trigger" for growth.
The fact that BNB Chain has seen the number of active addresses triple in the past 18 months is proof of a platform that is very vigorous. When an ecosystem has a huge existing user base plus the moral support from CZ, Momo has the potential to become the new star of 2026. If you are looking for a groundbreaking "bet" based on community strength and confirmation from the biggest KOL in the industry, then this is the golden time to watch. Who knows, Momo might be the next name to hit the hundred million dollar market cap just like its predecessor TUT? $BNB

Effective XRP Portfolio Management Ahead of Major Waves
For investors with 1 to 3 years of experience, accessing XRP at this time should be based on data rather than emotions. Indicators of cash flow into exchanges and personal wallets show that liquidity demand is rising. However, instead of chasing (FOMO), applying a dollar-cost averaging strategy or accumulating at support levels would be a wiser move. Support from Ripple's new liquidity management products helps increase the practical value of the token, but short-term volatility is still unavoidable. #anh_ba_cong
We need to understand that partnering with large funds like Citadel or Pantera Capital requires a vision measured in quarters or years. If your plan is short-term trading, set tight stop-loss levels. Conversely, if you believe in the ecosystem that Ripple is building, pay attention to diversification to alleviate psychological pressure. The market may sometimes go against all expert predictions, so always have a contingency plan for every scenario. A balanced portfolio will help you sleep better when storms hit. $XRP

Vitalik withdraws 16.384 ETH: Investing in technology or long-term strategy?
Vitalik Buterin's move to withdraw over 16,000 ETH has sparked mixed opinions. However, looking at the broader picture, this is a step towards risk management and reshaping Ethereum's identity. The fact is, Vitalik is not using this money for trading to profit but to build an open technology "stack" from hardware to software. #anh_ba_cong
For those with 1-3 years of experience, the important thing is not the amount of ETH withdrawn, but the purpose of its use. Ethereum is trying to shed the label of "only for finance" to become a true world computer, protecting privacy and autonomy. The balance between executing the technical roadmap and maintaining funding for EF is a difficult problem they are trying to solve. Instead of excitement or panic, one should focus on the upcoming technical milestones. Ethereum is strongest when it addresses real user problems, not just numbers on a chart. $ETH

Vitalik Buterin and the ambition to turn Ethereum into the infrastructure of freedom
Vitalik has just withdrawn 16.384 ETH to support open-source projects and comprehensive security. That's the story, instead of just focusing on price, the "father" of Ethereum is aiming for an ecosystem where user privacy and autonomy are prioritized. The Ethereum Foundation (EF) entering a "tightening phase" is not a bad signal, but rather to focus resources on executing a stronger scaling roadmap. #Colecolen
You can clearly see the ambition of #Vitalik to bring Ethereum into every corner of life, from finance to communication and governance, but not for large corporations, rather for those who truly need it. When the leader continues to diligently support core technology and accepts additional personal responsibility, confidence in the long-term value of ETH is completely justified. This is the time for us to see the true value of a decentralized network not manipulated by the world's "bullies". $ETH

Litecoin (LTC): A golden opportunity at the accumulation zone – Is the historical target calling?
Litecoin (LTC) is currently approaching one of the most important technical areas in its price history. Looking at the long-term chart, we see LTC moving within a massive narrowing wedge structure, signaling a huge momentum breakout that is being compressed. The decisive checkpoint for this cycle is the "Strategic Accumulation Zone" within the price range of $50 – $60.
Why is this an opportunity to pay attention to? The thing is, this price range is not only a psychological support level but also a convergence point of the long-term uptrend line starting from 2018. The fact that the price remains stable here indicates that selling pressure has exhausted and large funds are quietly absorbing positions. If this structure is maintained, a breakout from the diagonal resistance line will open the journey to conquer the resistance levels above.
Looking at the long-term vision, when LTC overcomes the technical barriers at the $145 and $219 zones, the target towards $500, even $1,000 is entirely based on historical wave measurements. This is a phase that requires patience rather than panic in response to short-term fluctuations. Focus on supporting the trading plan at this base price range, as the largest movements often begin from the quietest accumulation zones.

Metaplanet raises 137 million USD: Determined to accumulate more Bitcoin despite the storms
The market has just witnessed a bold move from Metaplanet as they successfully raised 137 million USD to continue their journey of accumulating Bitcoin. That's the story, instead of being afraid of last year's stock decline, this Japanese company chose to go "all in" with a strategy of using BTC as a reserve asset. They currently hold over 35,000 BTC, valued at nearly 3 billion USD. #Colecolen
The reason for optimism is that Metaplanet believes that increasing the amount of Bitcoin held per share will offset asset dilution. When a major business is willing to bet its future on Bitcoin, it creates a strong trust effect for the market. Their choice to raise funds while Bitcoin is adjusting shows a very clear long-term vision. For those who are accompanying BTC, this action is like a confirmation: Bitcoin is not just a coin, but a strategic asset for modern businesses. $BTC

How did I lose profit from 500 gold prices?

So sad, guys, 2025 is a quite favorable year for both forex and crypto markets for me, so starting in 2026 I felt quite confident

Yet, gold slapped me back to reality not just once but five times

I sold gold FOMO after each drop of more than 100 prices with a negative DCA strategy, a strategy that Cole made profits from throughout 2025. Yet every time I entered, it increased, you can see in my summarized chart, almost every time I sold, it surged until I hit the stop loss, four times in total.

The fourth time it dropped 500 prices but rebounded 400 making me stop loss, so I was really discouraged. The fifth time came soon after and I didn't even bother to deposit anymore, just let it be, it really dropped everyone.
Oh heavenly gods, when I deposited money, I managed to recover all my capital, so sad and frustrating.......

Five years in finance and this is the first time I've faced this, I comfort myself that I've gained a bit more experience for next time. Besides managing capital, I also have to trust in my stable capital strategy.

That said, it still hurts, guys, it feels like I've lost the Tet holiday

Anyone who has been slapped like this, give a hand to Cole to feel sorry for him, okay $XAU $PAXG

The CLARITY Act and the Future of Interest Rates: Will Stablecoins 'Kill' Savings Deposits?
The attention of the financial world is focused on the desk of President Donald Trump, where the CLARITY Act is awaiting approval. This is seen as the trigger for legalizing interest rates on stablecoins, creating a strong competitor to bank deposits. Standard Chartered believes that the decline in deposits will directly reduce income from NIM, which is the most important driver of bank profits. This is a revolution in financial structure, where digital asset trading activities are beginning to encroach heavily into the territory of fiat money.
Although risks are present, this is also an opportunity for financial institutions to innovate. Supporting infrastructure for stablecoins could help banks diversify their revenue sources instead of relying solely on interest rate spreads. The collaboration between digital platforms and banking systems will help the asset transfer process occur safely, transparently, and minimize regulatory violation risks. Today's users are increasingly savvy and always demand optimization for their capital. If banks cannot provide returns equivalent to stablecoins, they will soon see 500 billion USD leave their balance sheets in the coming years, marking a new era of controlled decentralized finance. $BTC $USDC

The structure of Bitcoin is experiencing negative changes as the "Bear Flag" pattern is gradually completing on the 1W timeframe. With selling pressure dominating at resistance levels, the scenario of price continuing to adjust towards the strategic support level around $53,500 is becoming more plausible than ever. Everyone needs to be extremely cautious and prioritize supporting strict risk management plans during this period. $BTC

Kazakhstan establishes a Bitcoin reserve fund: A strategic move by a Crypto powerhouse
You see, Bitcoin is increasingly asserting its position as "digital gold" as governments begin to include it in their national reserve portfolios. Kazakhstan has just announced a plan to use 350 million USD in gold and foreign currency, combined with the amount of Bitcoin seized from wrongful activities, to establish a reserve fund. That's the story, instead of liquidating the seized coins, they chose to hold onto them to enhance financial strength. #Colecolen
The fact that a country once considered a "sanctuary" for mining is striving to become the Crypto hub of Central Asia is an extremely positive signal. It shows that state-level acceptance is happening more strongly than ever. As central banks begin to view digital assets as part of their reserves alongside gold, the trust of major financial institutions will be strengthened. For us, this is motivation to believe in a sustainable growth cycle, where Bitcoin is no longer just an individual game but has become a strategic asset for nations. $BTC

The hidden corner behind the 1.1 billion USD Bitcoin of Strive
Although the headline about the #Strive entering the top 10 entities holding the most Bitcoin sounds impressive, you need to look at their stock reality for a multidimensional view. That's the story, even though they own a huge amount of BTC, Strive's ASST stock price has plummeted by up to 78% in the past 6 months. Right after the merger with Semler Scientific was approved, the stocks of both parties fell sharply. This shows that traditional investors are still very cautious with the strategy of "betting" the entire future of the company on Bitcoin's fluctuations. #anhbacong
Strive's purchase of additional BTC at the price of 89,851 USD can be considered a rather risky move if the market enters a deep correction phase. Retail investors need to be alert: just because you see a "shark" buying in doesn't mean you have to jump on board immediately. Strive can withstand the heat thanks to preferential stock issuances to raise capital, but your own pockets do not have that cushion. Remember, a strong digital asset accumulation strategy does not always equate to a sustainable business model in the eyes of Wall Street finance. $BTC

Ethereum and Altcoins: Repeating the classic pattern of Gold for a breakout?
The market stands on the brink of a historic growth wave. Observing the chart, we see Ethereum (ETH) is precisely mirroring the "Cup and Handle" structure that has lasted for years – a pattern that helped Gold to skyrocket over 250% and add trillions of USD to its market cap.
The key point lies in the absorption phase after failed breakouts. Instead of collapsing, the price is tightly accumulating just below a crucial resistance level. That's the way it is, financial history shows that when the final psychological barriers are broken, assets will enter a phase of parabolic growth. ETH is very close to this confirmation moment, and as usual, when the "leader" Altcoins explode, other coins in the ecosystem will tend to outperform the base asset. #Colecolen
For those of you who have been in the market for 1-3 years, this is the time to maintain a strong long-term portfolio support mentality. Don't let small fluctuations distract you from a significant bullish structure that is gradually completing. The opportunity to transform your financial position is right in front of you; the important thing is whether you have enough patience to wait for the real explosion rhythm. Be prepared, as this wave will bring immense value to those who understand the operating laws of cash flow. $ETH $XAU $PAXG
