First, let's pay attention to the macro aspects:

-The Executive Director of the U.S. Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets stated that in the current environment of a pro-crypto government, Congress, and regulatory framework, the industry should push for the implementation of the crypto market structure bill as soon as possible, rather than passively accepting stricter regulations after the next financial crisis. 

-The U.S. stock market faced its worst single-day drop of the year, with the Nasdaq down over 2%, and the S&P and Dow Jones also weakened, while gold and silver both reached historic highs, and Bitcoin fell below $88,000 during trading. 

-Tom Lee pointed out that geopolitical issues, tariffs, and political polarization could trigger a painful correction in early 2026, with U.S. stocks potentially dropping by 15% to 20%, but as the Federal Reserve shifts to a dovish stance, a significant rebound by the end of the year remains possible, and Bitcoin may still reach new highs within the year.

Now let's look at market hotspots:

-Yesterday, the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF had a net outflow of $480 million, and the Ethereum spot ETF had a net outflow of $240 million; the fear and greed index dropped to 32!

-The American fast-food chain Steak ’n Shake announced that it will distribute Bitcoin bonuses to hourly employees, with a reward of $0.21 worth of BTC for every hour worked, but it must be locked for two years before it can be claimed. 

-On-chain data shows that an ancient Ethereum whale who has held since 2016 deposited 14,183 ETH into Coinbase, worth about $41.93 million, marking its first large recharge in three years.

Finally, let's look at industry dynamics:

-The Sei Foundation announced a partnership with the Sovereign Wealth Fund DHI of the Kingdom of Bhutan to deploy and operate Sei blockchain validation nodes in Bhutan as part of its national digital transformation strategy.
