The 2025 Coin Security Global 100 selection has come to an end, thank you all for your support
This is a letter of thanks from Leo Chengfeng~ First of all, thank you
for providing such a great platform and support, allowing creators to have more stages to showcase their talents. This year's global top 100 creators are visibly more competitive than last year, as there are more outstanding friends among the user base.
During last year's global top 100 creators selection event, I also met many outstanding friends. Many of the currently active big accounts and excellent partners were met at that time!
Next, we will list the friends who made the list this year
Industry leader
This year, from the first day of voting. Due to not making an effort on the first day, I didn't make the leaderboard, so I urgently went live myself, to communicate in more live rooms @独领风骚必暴富 @投研看剑 For example, going to Brother Sao's live room for the first time, and going to Brother Jian's live room, it was especially warm~ @财经悟空pro very nice~
In the intelligent era, an individual is a company, and the core is to establish one's own system.
(Selected articles are collected as follows) Since I first encountered BTC in 2016, I was very shocked after reading the white paper and the code. Such simplicity, such clarity in a system that can change labor relations! I witnessed it becoming a strategic reserve in 2025, and all of this has truly happened! Web3 is a very complex ecosystem, integrating finance, the internet, trading, edge industries, and even a bit of entertainment. It's a space that amplifies human nature. To achieve results, one must first ensure not to fall before dawn, overcome human weaknesses, have their own trading system, and be able to iterate quickly. Mastering multiple sources of information and on-chain data is very important. I would like to share some content to inspire everyone.
According to various communities and media, the reasons summarized are as follows; it could actually be more... we could list 100 reasons if you wish!
1. Last October's leverage liquidation... the market has still not recovered.
2. Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) stagnation.
3. Capital reversal from criminal groups: after the U.S. Department of Justice sued the Cambodian Prince Group last October, major capital flows reversed.
4. Quantum fear (real).
5. Huge artificial intelligence opportunities (opportunity cost): Capital is shifting towards the AI field. Talent is shifting towards the AI field. Miners are shifting towards AI.
6. Bitcoin is considered American: Chinese buyers have decreased, who previously drove the surge in precious metal prices in large numbers.
7. Major whales and institutions taking over, overly profit-driven offices and retail: - Shift from Cypherpunk/Rebel tech to ETF tech. - Cryptocurrency was once prepared for the unsuitable and geniuses, now it is a line in 401k.
8. Connection to Uncle Big and political risks: what will happen once the Democrats return?
9. Very little innovation (since Hyper).
10. Sol casino massacre, draining liquidity (Memecoin supercycle).
11. Token oversupply: currently tracking 29.91 million cryptocurrencies.
Another report stated that Wintermute sold 6,172 BTC in 30 minutes, leading to a $619M liquidation cascade. This was described as a “liquidity hunt,” amplifying market volatility but could be market-making behavior rather than malicious selling.
On February 5th, there were signs of large BTC movements, but it seemed more like neutral operations in the market rather than clear selling.
Forced to reduce risk, World Liberty sold $5 million to avoid their Aave position being liquidated, while Wintermute continued to sell over a week during low liquidity periods.
When you have billions of dollars in unrealized losses in your account, and market volatility spikes to 75%, you won't sit idly by. Everyone is scrambling to reduce risk exposure before the next round of volatility down. #加密市场反弹 #美国伊朗对峙 #何时抄底? $BTC $BNB
Famous top VC Multicon co-founder Kyle announces exit from Web3?
He said: "Cryptocurrency is not as interesting as many crypto enthusiasts expect. I once believed in the vision of Web3 and trusted dApps. Now I don't believe anymore. The blockchain is mainly an asset ledger, and while it can reshape finance, its potential in other areas is limited."
The last time a top VC or institution exited was during the bear market of 2022; this time the loss is billions, and even the seasoned investors after 8 years feel fed up #小非农数据不及预期 #摩根大通看好BTC $BTC
According to historical data and market analysis, the Bitcoin (BTC) price often experiences fluctuations around the Chinese Lunar New Year (Spring Festival), commonly referred to by the community as the "Chinese New Year Dump." This may be related to factors such as Asian investors (especially from China) cashing out before the holidays, reduced liquidity, and miner sell-offs. Historical patterns show that prices often decline in the 1-4 weeks leading up to the New Year, but this is not absolute (as seen in the reversal in 2023). I define "before the New Year" as the 30 days prior to the New Year date (approximately 1 month), calculating the percentage change in price (from the beginning to the end), highest/lowest prices, and simple volatility ((highest-lowest)/initial price*100%)
In bear market years (such as 2018 and 2022), the fluctuations before the New Year are amplified, and the declines are steeper. Exception: The reversal in 2023, possibly due to ETF expectations and institutional entry. Volatility: average 15-40%, high volatility years (like 2018) over 100%, reflecting holiday liquidity risk.
During the 2026 Spring Festival, the price has currently dropped by 25%. If there are macro improvements (such as interest rate cuts), it may rebound; otherwise, the decline may continue. It is recommended to pay attention to the support level of $68000 #小非农数据不及预期 #以太坊L2如何发展? #易理华旗下TrendResearch减仓 #BTC市场影响分析 $BTC $ETH .
The crypto winter of 2026 has come earlier than ever!
The crypto winter has long begun here. What about you? The world becomes more beautiful day by day. I am alone, but I feel very comfortable. I have no other thoughts, just want to bathe in the sunlight. I long for maturity, ready to die, ready to be reborn. ---Hesse
Another day of sharp decline. In fact, it has been falling for two months now. This time, there haven't been any particularly intense political, economic, or macro events, but the market just keeps falling! In the face of emotions, analysis is worthless! If one has to find some reasons. There are the following points:
How the Epstein case was discovered, and his 'dirty money' once supported Bitcoin core development... Fortunately, Bitcoin has emerged from the shadows!
Mt. Gox collapsed! In April 2015, as the Bitcoin community was worrying about the future, the MIT Media Lab announced the launch of the 'Digital Currency Initiative'. They quickly acted, bringing in the three core figures Gavin Andresen, Cory Fields, and Vladimir van der Laan. This interdisciplinary lab, established in 1985, is known for its forward-looking research and close collaboration with business and wealthy individuals, and became the 'white knight' for Bitcoin developers. But the money of this white-clad knight is not clean. The director of the MIT Media Lab at the time was Joi Ito, a renowned Japanese-American investor who had made waves in Silicon Valley and had early investments in Twitter and Flickr.
Have you ever scrolled through Crypto Twitter (now called X) and suddenly felt like the entire feed was just copy-pasted? The previous crypto circle was chaotic, but at least there was some humanity: some people FOMO'd into tweeting frantically until dawn, some rug pulled and vanished, and some were driven out of the scene after being criticized for a long thread. And now? Everywhere you look, there are perfectly symmetrical avatars, analyses that are always neutral and positive, images that are always those AI-generated cyberpunk werewolves holding Bitcoin, and they always end with 'DYOR but this is huge'. The thread length is always about the same, opinions are always 'bullish on X layer but with risks', and the reply section is filled with bots liking and following each other, with the occasional 'wen moon' popping up, making it seem particularly real. These things have a name: AI slop.
$BTC 2018: Highest Price ≈ $17,712 Lowest Price ≈ $3,191 (Bear market year, crash from the high point at the end of 2017) 2019: Highest Price ≈ $13,796 Lowest Price ≈ $3,391 2020: Highest Price ≈ $29,245 Lowest Price ≈ $4,107 2021: Highest Price ≈ $68,790 (or close to $69,000 ATH) Lowest Price ≈ $28,723 2022: Highest Price ≈ $48,087 Lowest Price ≈ $15,599 2023: Highest Price ≈ $44,706 Lowest Price ≈ $16,521 2024: Highest Price ≈ $108,268 Lowest Price ≈ $38,522 2025: Highest Price ≈ $126,198 (around October 6 ATH) / Some sources indicate a range of $125,184-$126,080 Lowest Price ≈ $74,437 (or around $74,590) 2026 (as of February 2): Highest Price ≈ $91,712 (early January, or higher to around $94,762 early peak) Lowest Price ≈ $74,567 (recent low around February 2)

From here, the maximum drop can reach 25%. How will the AI trend conclude? (AI is still very popular right now). OpenAI's new round of financing and Anthropic's IPO will become the barometer for all risk assets!
It is clear that Mr. Trump is unlikely to let the U.S. stock market crash; AI is the locomotive of the U.S. stock market.
He has indeed identified the real issues: elites detached from reality, unsustainable globalization, hollowed-out democracy, and overextended hegemony. But identifying the problems does not equate to solving them.
Weekend wallet ambushed, the new Fed chair - Waller's warning
Before even taking office, the financial market has already sold off! What will save your wallet👛? Besides the courage that Liang Jingru gives you...? Bitcoin is about to drop below $70,000💸, down nearly 40% from its peak! This week, precious metals plummeted📉! The trend of gold prices 'confirms the warning that a sharp drop often follows a surge.' Although the news of Waller's nomination became the trigger, the market had already accumulated adjustment pressure. 'It's like the market has been waiting for an excuse to end the near-parabolic rise.' Due to soaring prices and increased volatility, traders' risk models and balance sheets have been under pressure, and the precious metals market had actually laid the groundwork for extreme fluctuations long ago. Large-scale purchases of call options, which grant the holder the right to buy an asset at a predetermined price, are also reinforcing upward price momentum, as option sellers have to continue buying related assets to hedge against the risks brought by rising prices.
The prediction market can sometimes feel like mysticism. Just a couple of days ago, it was predicted that the price would drop below $85,000 by the end of the month! 💸
Today, it dropped! The amount of liquidations 💰 exceeded $800 million!
Under the dual pressure of market volatility and macroeconomic stress, Bitcoin has experienced a significant price correction, but institutional investors' interest remains unabated, reflecting a mixed outlook for the market.
1. Price Drop: Bitcoin has faced a substantial decline, leading to a large number of forced liquidations, and the technical indicators have turned bearish.
2. Macroeconomic Headwinds: The Federal Reserve has maintained stable interest rates, coupled with heightened geopolitical tensions, which has pressured market liquidity, causing investors to adopt a generally cautious stance.
If someone had told you a year ago that by 2026 we would foresee:
- A continuing decline in the US dollar exchange rate - Lower interest rates - A new Federal Reserve chair - Global liquidity rapidly increasing - Further currency depreciation - The highest number of US stocks and ATH in history - The highest prices for precious metals ATH in history
The market speculates that $BTC will reach at least $150,000.
Either the market pricing is incorrect, or there is a serious issue!
The brother from Pakistan, Twin, shared his story of having his account hacked.
On January 15th, he happened to be live streaming. During the stream, his account possibly logged out, prompting him to log in again, and a QR code popped up. After scanning the QR code, he discovered his account had been hacked, ultimately finding out that his Gmail had been hijacked and controlled! Fortunately, he contacted the BDM and security team in time, and customer service provided very professional and quick feedback, allowing him to recover his account!
Unfortunately, he lost money 💰
1️⃣, remind everyone to definitely not scan unknown QR codes!
2️⃣, do not download some baseless software!
Especially during live streams or transactions, it is easy to get distracted!
By 2025, global financial losses due to cryptocurrency scams and fraudulent activities are expected to reach $17 billion, with a significant year-on-year increase of nearly 40%. Cryptocurrency scams are gradually showing trends of industrialization and intelligence. Among them, Southeast Asia is increasingly becoming a core region for global scam fund circulation and money laundering activities.
Blockchain analysis company Chainalysis recently released a report on cryptocurrency crime showing this data. The report points out that as scam groups increasingly adopt artificial intelligence (AI), deepfake technology, and phishing-as-a-service (which refers to assisting less technically skilled criminals in committing fraud through pre-set tools and templates), the scale of scam activities has rapidly expanded.
Scam groups operate like businesses; AI scams yield amounts 4.5 times higher than traditional scams. The report mentions that many cryptocurrency scam networks are related to human trafficking and forced labor camps in Southeast Asia, such as the pig farms spread across Cambodia and Myanmar. Victims are forced to execute investment scams, romance traps, and cryptocurrency fraud within these scam farms, with the stolen money then flowing globally through layered wallets, decentralized exchanges, and stablecoins. #美联储利率决议 #瑞典上线VIRBNB #代币化白银热潮 $BTC $ETH $BNB

My Binance Account Hack – Community Awareness 🚨
Date of Incident: 09 January 2026 I am sharing this incident in detail to raise awareness within the crypto community. What happened to me can happen to anyone, especially during live sessions and multitasking. 📍 Location & Situation At the time of the incident, I was present at Twin Tulips and hosting a live session on Binance Square. Alongside the live session, I was also involved in an important meeting on my mobile phone, which divided my attention. 🔐 Events Leading Up to the Hack Two days before the incident: • My Gmail account was compromised • Using access to my email, the attacker attempted and later succeeded in accessing my Binance account • I immediately: • Informed my Binance BDM • Contacted Binance Customer Support • My Binance account already had 2FA enabled 🎥 Live Session & Co-Host Involvement During the Binance Square live session: • I noticed unusual behavior on my account • I informed my co-host and clearly told them: “Please manage the live session, I need to focus on an urgent meeting on my mobile.” • While my co-host was handling the live session, I became fully engaged in the meeting on my phone 🚨 Account Logout & Suspicious Activity While I was distracted with the meeting: • My Binance account logged out automatically • I was not actively monitoring the account due to the meeting and live session running simultaneously When I returned: • I attempted to log in again • A QR code appeared on the screen with a message indicating that I had been logged out and needed to scan the QR code to re-login 📱 QR Code Exploit As soon as I: • Scanned the QR code • My screen began to freeze and lag • The account logged out again • Immediately after, the account logged back in automatically At that moment: • The attacker withdrew $831 from my Spot Wallet 💸 Financial Impact • Total loss: $831 • Fortunately: • No additional funds were available in the Spot Wallet • Funds in the Earnings section remained untouched • Either the attacker could not access those funds or failed to withdraw them

In crypto, even a few minutes of distraction can lead to irreversible loss. Please stay alert, secure your email first, and never ignore unusual behavior on your account.
Will Kaohsiung create an Asian version of the 'Truss Shock'?
In 2022, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss proposed a large-scale tax cut plan without fiscal support.
This led to a sell-off of UK government bonds, a plunge in the pound, and a pension liquidity crisis, known as the 'Truss Shock'. Due to the similar easing proposals presented by Kaohsiung this time, there are concerns in Japan about whether it will repeat the UK's predicament from that year.
UBS believes that these two scenarios still have differences in fundamentals and market reactions. Japan has a large overseas asset base, which includes a net international investment position (NIIP) that accounts for 92% of its GDP and a current account surplus that makes up 4.8% of its GDP.
Additionally, Japan's interest rate-sensitive sectors such as real estate and construction have shown strong performance recently, indicating that the market does not have systemic doubts about Japan's sovereign credit. #币安将上线特斯拉股票永续合约 #美联储利率决议 $BNB
To understand the reasons behind the rising yields, one must first comprehend Japan's unique interest rate environment.
The Japanese government has long implemented a 'zero interest rate' policy and large-scale quantitative easing, which has kept Japan's government bond yields at extremely low, even negative, levels for an extended period. Over the past few decades, the Bank of Japan has aggressively purchased government bonds and maintained the zero interest rate policy to combat prolonged deflation and economic stagnation.
This policy has allowed the Japanese bond market to sustain extremely low yields for a long time, encouraging significant outflows of Japanese capital abroad in search of higher returns.
In financial markets, bond prices and yields have an inverse relationship. When investors lose confidence in a country's fiscal health or its ability to repay debt, they often choose to sell that country's bonds, leading to a drop in prices. As bond prices fall, yields naturally rise.
A series of bold fiscal policies from the current administration has raised concerns among investors about Japan's fiscal outlook, contributing to the surge in Japanese government bond yields.
How do the current fiscal policies differ from the past? After announcing a snap election, the current administration proposed the idea of a 'zero tax rate' on local food consumption taxes, making economic issues the focus of the campaign.
This is due to recent years, where changes in the global supply chain and rising energy prices have significantly increased Japan's import costs, leading to imported inflation. Despite the fact that Japanese wages have seen growth in recent years, the rising prices have sparked concerns over living expenses.
The current administration previously announced a massive supplementary budget and ended the path of fiscal austerity, actions that are a response to the prolonged domestic consumption weakness and the inflationary pressures that have emerged in recent years. #美联储利率决议 #瑞典上线VIRBNB #代币化白银热潮 $BTC $ETH $BNB
On January 27th, I came to Shenzhen Futian CBD with 6 friends and had a meal of the beef hot pot that Shenzhen workers love the most. When the bill came, we found it was only a little over 800 yuan. Huang Renxun said to everyone, 'The beef in Shenzhen is very fresh and delicious!'
Apart from housing, everything else in Shenzhen is cheap!
When Jensen Huang created the first deep learning computer DXG-01, the venue was very quiet, and almost no one knew what he was talking about. But he met Elon, and Elon said: I have a company that really needs it, but currently, it is a non-profit organization! Jensen Huang was a bit worried whether such a company could afford his product (priced at 300,000 US dollars), and as a result, they went to a very small office, and he personally drove to San Francisco, becoming his first customer!

Making money relies on Kondratiev waves, losing money depends on strength!
2026 might be a magical year! From the perspective of the Kondratiev cycle (Kondratiev long wave, Kondratiev wave) theory: As of now (January 2026), the global economy is at a critical turning point: at the end of the fifth Kondratiev cycle (driven by information technology/internet) downturn, while about to enter or already in the early phase of the sixth Kondratiev cycle (driven by artificial intelligence, new energy, biotechnology, etc.) recovery. The mainstream phases and the current positioning of the Kondratiev cycle are usually divided into four stages: Recovery, prosperity, recession, and depression, each lasting about 50-60 years.
