Currency should not be monopolized by the government, just as bread should not be monopolized by the government. What we need is 'the de-nationalization of currency.' ---- Hayek "The De-nationalization of Money"

Crypto market is in turmoil! Strict regulations on stablecoins instead fuel the bull market? AI + crypto is the ultimate outcome!
The central bank has just clarified: stablecoins are virtual currencies and belong to illegal financial activities, also hiding risks of money laundering and illegal cross-border transfers! But now the regulatory actions have left those in the crypto space confused—blocking bank cards, freezing WeChat accounts, limiting reports, purely plugging leaks wherever they appear, without addressing the root cause.
There are even rumors of launching a 'national sovereign stablecoin', trying to enforce recognition through coercion. This line of thought is completely misguided! The rules in the crypto space have always been determined by consensus, just like how power needs to be recognized by the people to be stable; the value of stablecoins cannot be imposed. The sovereign stablecoins of Singapore and Indonesia came to fruition by relying on the practical value of efficient cross-border payments with low costs, not through coercion. Forcing something without a public basis will only drive funds away, instead boosting the crypto market, and the bull market might really be brought forward!
Traditional banks are now panicking, but the enemy is not DeFi at all. People have long suffered from bank monopolies, high transaction fees, and slow transfers, while the free innovation represented by Ethereum precisely addresses these pain points—cross-border transfers arrive in 10 minutes, with fees only a few dollars, and DeFi yields are several times that of bank savings. This is not about opposing banks, but rather that funds naturally flow towards efficient and free solutions; this trend cannot be stopped by anyone.
Finally, a big direction to note: in the future, 99% of new assets will carry AI genes, and 'no AI, no entrepreneurship' has become an established fact. The combination of crypto and AI is the next super trend. Instead of blocking, it is better to guide; being rigid will only backfire, as true value has always been built through bottom-up consensus, not through coercion! What do you think?
The Next Generation of Finance Will Not Be in Banks, But on ETH
In the past week, the privacy technology roadmap of ETH has been thoroughly brought to the forefront. Discussions at Devconnect Buenos Aires have made it very clear: Ethereum is moving from a 'foundational layer of the speculative market' to a 'public infrastructure for global finance and privacy.'
What excites me the most is that the community is starting to embrace the framework of Holistic Privacy: not just Zero-Knowledge or on-chain privacy, but a complete protection of users across the network layer, RPC, data reading, storage, and front-end interactions. There are not many chains that truly achieve this, and ETH is the only platform that leads in global development ecology, institutional participation, compliance, and technical depth.
The future of Arbitrum is accelerating toward the real world
If you asked me to choose the most important thing in the cryptocurrency industry for 2025, I would not hesitate to say: it is not a new meme, nor a new public chain, but the collaboration between Robinhood and Arbitrum.
Because this matter is not a 'technical breakthrough', nor 'hype narratives', but rather the traditional financial system actively pushing real assets onto the chain for the first time, using the chain as a true financial infrastructure.
This is a qualitative change.

1. The 'landing' moment of tokenization: stocks have really been brought onto the chain.
In the past few years, we have heard too much about RWA (real-world assets), asset tokenization, and on-chain settlement PPT narratives.
The world of the rich, while not perfect, is much brighter than a society where only the powerful can become wealthy.

$BTC $ETH You can't even catch the warmth after eating shit. Is it unpleasant? It is indeed unpleasant. The international community embraces the cryptocurrency industry, yet you ban it today and tomorrow. Some big names online go by the name of Wandering Earth, driving people to other places, and this career will be gone. What do you say? Just one sentence: Feudalism is ingrained in our bones after five thousand years of feudalism. {spot}(BTCUSDT) {spot}(ETHUSDT)
The direction of the flow of people is the path of civilization's progress, if people can freely choose where to migrate. --Hayek

Is Dongda a bit panicked?
Now regarding stablecoins, there is completely no effective response found! Freezing bank cards, freezing WeChat accounts, and prohibiting domestic media from reporting related content—this is just patching up the problems instead of addressing the core issues!
In fact, Dongda is calculating to create a national sovereign stablecoin, building a system on its own and forcing everyone to accept it. This approach is too unreliable; without a mass foundation, how can there be consensus? If not handled well, funds might accelerate outflow, which would just be aiding the cryptocurrency market. Who knows, the bull market might be brought forward!
Power is never solidified by hard pushing; in the past, feudal dynasties believed imperial power was supreme, but in reality, power must be recognized by the people. The value of stablecoins cannot be established by coercive implementation; it must be gradually accepted and recognized by everyone. Dongda's hard approach will only backfire.
Traditional banks are now facing a major crisis; their real enemies are not DeFi but Ethereum, which represents the spirit of free innovation. People are fed up with the various restrictions and monopolies of banks, and the crypto world perfectly meets everyone's needs. This trend cannot be stopped by anyone!
Bold prediction: 99% of assets will have to be related to AI. Without AI technology, it's hard to get a startup off the ground, let alone grab a share of the market. This dual wave of technology and cryptocurrency will determine who can keep up and win! Recently planning to position a potential coin that is very likely to explode strongly, with an expected space of 10 times is not a problem.

The key is to be afraid of encountering unreasonable people; everything is not a big issue within the legal framework 🤔

When GAIB encountered a police call: a 532-second life-and-death conversation of a cryptocurrency player and a self-rescue guide
@GAIB AI #GAIB $GAIB Last Wednesday at three in the afternoon, just as I was checking the GAIB protocol earnings, my phone suddenly vibrated - a local fixed number. "Hello, this is the XX City Public Security Bureau, we need to understand your recent virtual currency transaction situation..." At that moment, the numbers on the GAIB interface suddenly became blurred, cold sweat instantly soaked my shirt. As a long-time user deeply involved in the GAIB ecosystem, countless questions flashed through my mind: Was there a problem with the AID transaction? Or does the computing power pledge involve suspicious funds? This 532 seconds of conversation made me deeply realize the unique dual identity of GAIB users - both DeFi innovators and key targets under regulatory scrutiny.
Can't pay attention to the boundary, you can just grab the ladder 🤐

The central bank's meeting on 'cracking down on virtual currency trading', explained in the simplest terms
Recently, the central bank held another meeting, stating that it will continue to crack down on virtual currency speculation. Many people get nervous when they see this kind of news: Is another major blow like 519 coming? Actually not, the impact this time is far less significant than before.
Below is explained in the simplest terms for you to understand at a glance.
🔍 1. This meeting mainly discussed two key points ① Stablecoins were specifically named (like USDT, USDC) What it means is: Stablecoins are easily used for money laundering, fraud, money splitting, and cross-border money transfers, In the future, such behaviors will be investigated more strictly. Simply understood - Cross-border money exchange and gray capital flows will be closely monitored.
Someone predicted the peak date of Bitcoin's current bull market two years ago.
Recently, there has been a viral prediction post about Bitcoin on the internet.
The meaning of this post is that the duration of each bull market in Bitcoin's history is 1,064 days, and the duration of each bear market is 364 days. According to this pattern, the peak date of this bull market is October 6, 2025.
As a result, it really was predicted; the peak of this bull market for Bitcoin is $126,000, which is on October 6 (U.S. time).
Later, I found the original blogger's tweet, which was published in December 2023.
Moreover, this is not a coincidence; more than one blogger mentioned this peak date in 2023. Another blogger's post below also suggests that October 6, 2025, is the top of this bull market.
The End of the Airdrop Era: The New Crypto Cycle, Why ICOs Are Becoming the Main Battlefield?
In 2025, a significant event is happening that deserves the attention of all cryptocurrency participants: ICOs are making a strong comeback from silence and have the opportunity to replace airdrops as the source of the next wave of massive wealth opportunities.
This is not nostalgia, nor is it a historical replay. This is a systemic turning point driven by multiple factors, including changes in funding structure, participant structure, on-chain behavior, and an imbalance in market incentive culture.
This time, the ways ordinary people participate, the potential returns, and the opportunity windows will be completely different from those in 2017.

《Why is the next Kondratiev wave likely to be in blockchain?》
(Why is the next Kondratiev wave likely to be in blockchain?)
When the market is flat, it is actually the best time to look up and see the distance.
Many people ask: Why do we always feel that the opportunities of the times pass us by? Others make money in real estate, make money on Taobao, make money in short videos, make money in cryptocurrency, but when it comes to ourselves, we always 'know too late.'
I have experienced this feeling as well. But fortunately, after starting a business in Web2, I unexpectedly hit upon Web3—this was the first time in my life that I truly felt the power of 'standing on the wave.'
In recent years, I have become more and more certain:
U.S. stocks soar in technology, blockchain resonance: Is the cryptocurrency bull market just around the corner?
U.S. stocks have risen for five consecutive days, with technology and blockchain resonating: What will be the next step for the cryptocurrency market? U.S. stocks closed early due to Thanksgiving, but market sentiment remains strong. The three major indices have risen for five consecutive days: • Nasdaq +0.65%, cumulative +4.91% this week • S&P +0.54%, cumulative +3.73% • Dow +0.61%, cumulative +3.18% Technology stocks are broadly strong, with Intel rising over 10% in a single day, and Meta, AMD, Microsoft, and others collectively rising. Alongside technology, blockchain concept stocks have also generally risen: • Circle (CRCL) +10.04% • Coinbase (COIN) +2.96% • MicroStrategy (MSTR) +0.88%
Kite AI aims to be the next generation 'Ethereum of the machine internet'
At a critical moment when the world is being propelled into a new round of technological revolution driven by AI, an internet dominated by machine roles is quietly forming. In the future, billions of AI Agents will perform tasks, complete transactions, and make decisions in the digital world, becoming new 'digital work entities.' To ensure that these autonomously interacting machines are secure, compliant, and controllable, a unified identity, payment, and governance infrastructure is almost an indispensable underlying capability. Kite AI was born in such a wave of the times. This startup targets the underlying trust framework of the 'machine internet' and plans to build the world's first AI-driven payment blockchain network, securing strategic investments from top institutions such as Paypal Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, and General Catalyst.
Has the golden age of grabbing airdrops ended? — The next opportunity lies in places you wouldn't expect.
With the launch of Monad, the airdrop's 'precise delivery' has caused a stir in the industry, quietly marking the end of an era in the crypto world. For a long time, grabbing airdrops was seen as one of the most certain arbitrage methods in the crypto industry: participating in testnets, frequent interactions, manipulating multiple accounts, boosting activity... As long as you 'trade effort for tokens', there is always a chance to earn returns of tens to hundreds of dollars. Project parties need excitement, need data, and need to show prosperity to VCs, and the airdrop hunters filled this demand gap. However, as Monad directly excludes all testnet interactive users, the airdrop now targets 'real contributors' and 'valid identity groups', causing this old path to collapse. No one wants to admit it, but the industry is being restructured:
