Recently, I feel that the hardest part of trading is not the information and opinions, but whether you have a stable approach to making moves.
DBTI is more like a mirror: it doesn't discuss good or bad personalities, but directly translates your actions on the chain into 'how you make money, and at which moment you lose control'.
I tested it on x.com/CalculusFinance and got CANV, a typical symptom is: when it's time to cash out, you are very decisive, but once you miss the sell, you can easily be dragged back by emotions, and when you chase in, you start to endure fluctuations.
Using the same set of coordinates to guess two people, they are Big Brother and Sister One: @CZ this time I lean towards guessing DBTS. The person is in the CEX system, but the decision-making is more aligned with the type of 'rules and long-term survival', where the risk boundary always precedes the offense. @Yi He I lean towards guessing CNAV. They value platform momentum and rhythm advancement more, with faster narratives and actions, and at key nodes, they dare to push things forward.
Do you think CZ leans more towards C or D? He Yi leans more towards T or N? DBTI is the key, Calculus Agent Gateway is the door.

In the past few days, to be honest, the market is not 'weak', but 'dry'. The depth of the market has clearly thinned, and even a little selling pressure can produce long shadows. A rebound brings two bullish candles, and then it's immediately knocked back to its original form. Many people are still discussing the trend, but the problem is simpler — market liquidity is drying up. Once liquidity becomes scarce, volatility naturally amplifies, making both rises and falls seem particularly exaggerated. There are rebounds, but no one dares to believe in them, and the sentiment is clearly cautious.
The large outflow of funds from Binance has also been repeatedly interpreted. The official response says it's a normal phenomenon; adjustments between hot and cold wallets, user withdrawals, and institutional reallocation are just routine operations. However, at such a sensitive moment, any mention of 'outflow' is magnified infinitely. Tonight's AMA with CZ, the market isn't watching what he says, but whether he avoids the heavy topics. Trust, in a bull market, is like air; in a volatile market, it's a trump card.
Even more stimulating is HYPERLIQUID. Token prices have plummeted, suspicious large transactions have appeared on the chain, and the frequency of liquidations has surged. High-leverage platforms in an environment of insufficient liquidity are amplifiers by nature. Once someone missteps, chain liquidations are like dominoes.
On the other hand, LayerZero is rumored to have expectations of large-scale financing, which should be a positive, but ZRO has shown weak short-term performance. The signals given by the market are very realistic: the story can continue to be told, but funds are unwilling to pay for long-term narratives. At this stage, money cares more about certainty than imagination.
In this environment, what is truly worth observing is the underlying channels. The market can be erratic, but liquidation, cross-chain transactions, and settlements will not stop. Infrastructure like @Plasma , which focuses on stablecoin settlements, and $XPL , which carries the logic of Gas and liquidity efficiency, will also fluctuate with the market in the short term. However, when the market realizes that the 'liquidity channels' themselves are more important than sentiment, the value of the infrastructure will be repriced. #Plasma
In simple terms, this is not just a simple bull-bear contest, but a reshuffling of liquidity. Whoever can survive this dry period is qualified to talk about the next round. Don't be led by K-lines; first confirm whether the market has liquidity before discussing direction. #CZ币安广场AMA #加密货币 #binace
The non-farm payroll slapped the cryptocurrency circle awake: this wave is not a bull turn, but liquidity is testing faith.
Last night before the non-farm payroll was released, the market was still fantasizing about 'June rate cuts being a certainty.' Once the data came out, many people's dreams of rate cuts were shattered in half. An increase of 130,000, while the expectation was only over 60,000, and the unemployment rate continued to drop. Simple translation: The economy is not as weak as you think, and the Federal Reserve is not as eager as you think. Rate cut expectations have been pushed back, short-term bond yields are rising sharply, and the two-year yield has flipped. Traders have moved the first rate cut from June to July, and March has almost been sentenced to death. Whether Waller wants to cut rates is one thing; whether he can convince a bunch of hawks is another. Inflation has yet to be announced, and CPI hangs like a knife in suspense. Right now on Wall Street, they say 'two rate cuts this year,' but they are re-pricing for higher rates for a longer time.
The cooling of technology stocks has caused the entire risk market to shudder—this is not a coincidence, it's a "seasonal change" in liquidity.
When the Nasdaq started selling off, the market mood instantly switched from "AI is changing the world" to "cash is king." Many people don't understand why when technology stocks drop, cryptocurrencies and high-beta assets bleed alongside? Simply put, the current global market is no longer an isolated economy but a liquidity resonance system. Institutions reducing their positions in tech stocks essentially lowers their risk exposure, and in the funding model, cryptocurrencies and growth stocks are often packaged as the same type of asset—emotion-driven, volatility-friendly, priced with future imagination.
When imagination starts to shrink, valuations will revert to reality. Thus, we see Bitcoin and Ethereum oscillating alongside technology stocks, while altcoins face double-digit corrections. Concerns about inflation haven't disappeared, interest rates remain stubborn, and liquidity hasn't truly loosened. Hedge funds are de-leveraging, large players are reconfiguring, and retail investors are caught between "bottom-fishing" and "survival." This is not a simple pullback, but a pressure test of risk appetite.
In a bull market, everyone is a value investor; during a pullback, everyone becomes a macro analyst. But what truly matters is not the ability to predict, but the ability to manage positions. Experts control their drawdowns, while novices cannot control their hands. Volatility is not the enemy; it is merely a filter that decides who can survive the seasonal change.
At this stage, I am more focused on "structural assets" rather than "emotional assets." For example, the stablecoins and settlement infrastructure related to @Plasma . $XPL will also fluctuate with the market in the short term, but when banks discuss stablecoin yields and regulatory frameworks gradually take shape, real value often lies not in price curves but in the control of liquidity channels. Markets can be erratic, but settlement systems must not break.
The decline of technology stocks is not just about price, but about risk appetite. When risk premiums are repriced, the market will experience pain for a while. However, after the seasonal change, the real layout window often appears. The question is not "will it drop," but whether you are prepared to ride out the volatility.
Extreme Fear 11! Saylor declares never to sell coins, White House in talks about stablecoin yields - the real storm has just begun
The market sentiment has reached its limit. Today's crypto fear index is 11, still in 'extreme fear'. Bitcoin's rebound is weak, $ETH falling over 4% in one day, and many people are starting to ask the same question: is it not at the bottom yet? But what is truly interesting is that it has never been the price itself, but rather when the market is most fearful, who is buying, who is making statements, and who is planning the next step. Michael Saylor publicly responded again: concerns in the market about Strategy being forced to sell Bitcoin are unfounded; the company will continue to buy and will never sell. This is not emotional trading; this is a balance sheet level attitude. In the last cycle, many institutions collapsed during the 'liquidity crisis', but this time, Strategy chose to directly bet on the long term. The biggest signals in panic often come from those who do not need to make statements.
Binance is once again breaking the rules: Alpha blind boxes directly turn airdrops into 'on-chain card drawing'
If you think airdrops no longer have any new tricks, it just means you haven't seen what Binance is doing. The emergence of Alpha blind boxes is essentially not just 'another airdrop', but Binance's first attempt to completely turn airdrops into a product experience. First, let's say the conclusion: this is not a welfare upgrade, but a gameplay upgrade. The logic of past airdrops was very simple—projects received single-point exposure, users participated according to rules, received tokens, and that was it. But Alpha blind boxes have directly changed this approach: instead of allowing users to bet on a single project, multiple high-quality early projects are aggregated into one pool, redesigning the sense of participation with 'randomness + determined value'. You spend Alpha points, and receive 'equivalent tokens + uncertain surprises'. On a psychological level, this is no longer receiving an airdrop, but rather a lottery, unboxing, and drawing cards.
Let me tell you something that many people may not have realized: miniARTX is not testing an upgrade today; it is officially going online. Previously it was a mini test, and now it starts running the real mechanism. The first batch of ARToken on the official network is essentially the initial mining. Interestingly, this artist has not graduated yet, and galleries are already rushing to negotiate contracts. To benchmark, Li Heidi: the debut base price to peak is about 30 times, and it has been auctioned multiple times at over the highest estimated price by 100%+. Additionally, with Ultiland's own maximum release structure of 14 times the profit, tonight at 8 PM $CRL starts the subscription, I cannot pretend I haven't seen it!
The core contradiction of this market round is actually not in BTC, nor in altcoins, but in "stablecoin yields". If non-farm payrolls deviate significantly, the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields will inevitably fluctuate wildly; Goldman Sachs warns that hedge funds are shorting U.S. stocks at a record pace, and AI impacts magnify systemic instability. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is discussing a "streamlined master account" while allowing securities tokenization, with rules being rewritten. In this environment, emotional assets take the first hit, and the infrastructure of settlements and stablecoins becomes even more important. This is also the reason I continuously pay attention to @Plasma $XPL #Plasma —short-term fluctuations with the market, but long-term benefits from institutional and structural changes. #加密市场 $BTC
This is not a 'bottom rebound', but rather 'old money reallocating': the dollar, volatility, and stablecoin yields are reshuffling the crypto market.
The most confusing part of this market today is: you clearly see $BTC a small drop (-0.57%), $ETH and it can still turn positive (+0.98%), yet fear and greed are still hovering at extreme fear. This combination is familiar to veteran players—it's not that the bulls have returned, it's that the 'selling pressure has paused', and the market is waiting for the next bombshell: can spot demand catch up, will macro data give another kick, and will the policy knife actually fall. Let's lay out the conclusion first: whether this round of rebound can continue, without looking at the flashy K-lines, the core issue is just one thing—whether there is real buying interest returning in the spot market. If the spot doesn't pick up, no matter how much derivatives are pulled, it’s just a weak rebound made up of 'short covering + market maker hedging'; once non-farm/CPI deviates from expectations, if the dollar and US Treasury yields shake, leverage will collectively kneel again. You will find that the market structure is increasingly resembling that flavor of May 2022: it looks like it has already dropped deeply, but the bottom is usually not a point, but a period of 'grinding until you don’t want to look at the market'.
Difficulty cut by 11%: Bitcoin miners have survived, but the market is still not ready.
The price of Bitcoin has remained stagnant around $70,000, seemingly calm, but the off-chain world of miners has already exploded once. With a block height of 935,424, the mining difficulty was directly adjusted down by 11.16%, dropping from 141.67T to 125.86T — this is the largest negative adjustment the network has experienced since the large-scale exit of the Chinese mining industry in 2021. On the surface, it appears to be a change in technical parameters, but in essence, it is a reshuffling of the miners, mining machine market, and even the mid-term structure of the coin price. This time the difficulty has suddenly dropped, not because miners collectively lost confidence and fled, nor because there was a problem with the network fundamentals, but rather due to a very 'real-world' shock: the extreme cold wave in North America and Northern Europe at the end of January directly kicked a number of mining farms off the power grid. Electricity prices soared, power supply was interrupted, and operations were restricted, forcing a large amount of computing power offline, causing the hash rate to drop sharply, and the protocol layer could only passively intervene, cutting the difficulty to ensure that the 10-minute block production lifeline remains unbroken.
When the fear and greed index is still at 14, the market has quietly differentiated. On one side, sentiment hasn't climbed out of the pit, while on the other side, "money" has already started to realign. CoinShares directly points out that quantum risk has been severely exaggerated, and the Strategy's attitude is simpler and more brutal: BTC should be bought forever. The price responded on the same day, a slight rebound of $BTC is not important, what matters is that consensus has not weakened.
Another line is "institution and structure." The White House will hold a crypto meeting next week, for the first time bringing banks in to discuss stablecoin yields; the CFTC has already allowed national trust banks to issue stablecoins; meanwhile, some are shouting that "stablecoins will collapse," but this very divergence indicates that stablecoins have already stood at the core of the system, rather than being an edge experiment.
Market games are also very real. Arthur Hayes bets on HYPE, Yi Lihua insists that the cycle is still ongoing, Tom Lee looks back at ETH's eight deep pullbacks, almost all have shown a V shape; volatility caused by market maker grid errors is seen as "bearish," but in essence, it is a liquidity structure issue, not asset death. On Polymarket, the probability of BTC returning to 75,000 in February has already been pushed to 64% by funds, this is not sentiment, it is betting.
Interestingly, there is a control group. Gold has been named by the U.S. Treasury Secretary as having "speculative selling," while the Nikkei has surged to a historic high amidst political changes, indicating that global funds are seeking assets that are "configurable, narratable, and extendable". Crypto is just one of the segments with the largest volatility and the most transparency.
In this environment, looking at @Plasma and $XPL , there is actually no need to forcefully catch the trend. In the short term, it will still be tossed around by sentiment, but in the medium to long term, settlements, channels, and stablecoin efficiency—these "boring but necessary" things—are often overlooked in times of panic and chased after in recovery periods. A bull market never starts from optimistic sentiment, but rather from "extreme panic but the structure is intact."
The market is washing out participants, not collapsing. You are panicking about the price, while smart money is focused on the position. @Plasma $XPL #plasma #btc #ETH
Everyone is asking whether there will be another crash, but the real bottom signal in this market is not in the candlestick charts but in...
If you only focus on Bitcoin bouncing between 60,000 and 70,000, it’s easy to overlook one thing: the context of this decline is unlike any in the past. Geopolitical tensions are rising, negotiations between Denmark and the United States over Greenland have stalled, and Canada and France are directly establishing consulates, with the Arctic routes, energy, and sovereignty games beginning to come to the fore; on the other hand, the U.S. Treasury is pouring cold water on gold, stating that this looks more like a speculative sell-off than a systemic demand for safe-haven assets. Macro funds are not seeking refuge in traditional safe havens but are looking for new anchors.
Stop treating Plasma as 'just another public chain': the real dividend in this round is the 'infrastructure position' of stablecoin settlement being seized
Many people’s first impression of Plasma ($XPL ) is still secondary: whether it has risen, whether it has fallen, or whether there has been a pump. But honestly, the more volatile and emotionally fluctuating the market phase, the clearer one thing becomes—prices can be erratic, narratives can change skins, but only the 'settlement' demand will not disappear. The most noteworthy aspect of Plasma is not whether it can double your investment overnight, but how clearly, obsessively, and practically it addresses the question of 'how to make stablecoins more like money.' First, let's clarify the positioning: Plasma is not an asset issuance platform, not a 'gateway' for RWA, and definitely not a project that can be explained simply by slapping a scalability label on it. Its core track is very singular and rigid: a stablecoin settlement-oriented Layer 1. It uses a fully EVM-compatible execution environment (Reth), combined with sub-second finality consensus (PlasmaBFT), and integrates stablecoin-prioritized product logic into the system—such as gas-free USDT transfers and a gas mechanism tilted towards stablecoins. These may seem like 'experience optimizations,' but they are actually competing for a more fundamental position: when people truly use stablecoins for transfers, payments, and cross-border settlements, users shouldn't have to first learn to buy gas, switch networks, or calculate confirmation times. If you make every step difficult for newcomers, even the grandest narratives can only remain within the crypto circle's self-indulgence.
Many people are still asking: Why is Plasma worth watching? In fact, the answer is simple—because it is not telling you a story, but is solving the most boring and yet most important issue: how stablecoins can be used like real money.
Let’s set aside the current coin prices; the Gas-free USDT transfers, the stablecoin-priority settlement logic, and the second-level certainty—these things may not seem attractive during a bull market, but they are key to determining who can survive in real use and high-volatility environments.
Market conditions may fluctuate, narratives may change, but settlements will not disappear. When the market shifts from emotion back to practicality, the infrastructure will naturally be recognized again.
A Night's Return to 70,000: Don't Be Fooled by 'Violent Rebounds'—The Harshest This Round Is Not the Decline, Maybe It's the Rebound That Gets You High.
Just yesterday, it was gasping at the 60,000 mark, and today it was kicked back to 70,000. This kind of 'scare people to death and then save them' routine in BTC is something veteran players in the crypto world have seen too many times, yet it still manages to manipulate people's emotions tightly. Many people, upon seeing the return to 70,000 and ETH standing back at 2000, start to get excited: Is the bottom in? Is there a reversal? Can we leverage long and go all in? If you really think like this, you are very likely to be walking into the most classic trap of a rebound market: the decline washes you out, and the rebound lures you back in. First, let me be clear: this rebound is indeed fierce, and it is quite 'reasonable'. Because the sharp decline a couple of days ago was essentially a self-detonation of the leveraged structure; the market was not brought down by 'short-selling', but rather by 'liquidation'. After the longs were thoroughly wiped out, the market suddenly felt lighter, and selling pressure became less intense for a short period. Those shorts who dared to add to their positions or hold on at low levels would get kicked away by a rebound, leading to further short liquidations that push the price up like a spring. This is why you see a quick switch from 'long liquidation dominance' to 'short liquidation dominance'; it's not that the market has turned bullish, but rather the market is educating both sides: those who leverage are the first to die.
The CSRC's document is actually giving RWA a "stay of execution".
When this document came out on February 7, many people's first reaction was, "It's over, RWA has been hit hard." But those who truly understand it will be more calm—this is not a ban, but a clearing out.
Over the past year, everyone knows how RWA has been played: domestic assets, overseas issuance, talking about globalization, compliance, and returns, whatever can be covered up is covered up. Whether the assets are clean is not important, whether the cash flow is reliable is also not important, what matters is whether the tokens can be issued.
Now this path has basically been blocked.
There is not a single word of nonsense in the document; the core meaning is not complicated: If you really want to use domestic assets for tokenization, then you have to act like a proper financial product—clear assets, clear entities, accountable responsibilities, and people can be found.
Can't do it? Then don't do it.
This step is not sudden; it was bound to happen sooner or later. Once RWA encounters "repayment," "returns," and "financing," it is essentially no longer on-chain innovation, but cross-border securitization. Regulators cannot pretend not to see this for long.
The real impact is not about whether "we can still talk about RWA" in the future, but rather: those that can remain will suddenly become very few.
The vast majority of projects are not being denied for technology, but for qualification. What remains will only be those designed according to financial standards from the start, slow but sustainable.
And once the asset side is tightly regulated, market attention will inevitably shift slowly. It is not about a new story, but returning to a more realistic question: Should money still flow? How should it flow? Will it be cut off?
Things like @Plasma $XPL #Plasma are not even at the layer of "issuing assets," but are just infrastructure for stablecoin settlement and on-chain clearing; this document has little direct connection to it. Prices will fluctuate with market sentiment, but the track itself is not the target of this round of regulation.
Ultimately, this is not anyone's good news. But it is a signal: the window for storytelling is closing, and what can exist long-term is starting to be singled out.
The real differentiation is not whether it rises today, but who can still be allowed to survive in the next phase. #RWA #加密市场反弹 #regulatory policy
$60,000 kicked through, 69k lost: this is not a 'crash', but the market is declaring—do you still dare to buy the dip according to the old script?
This morning at 8:00, the price hit around $60,000, and many people's first reaction was to poke the needle, thinking 'finally, it has bottomed out'. But those who truly understand the cycle see not 'cheapness', but a more glaring signal: the price has fallen back below the 2021 bull market peak of 69,000. This drop does not just break through a support level, but directly shatters a market belief—'the bottom of a bear market is always higher than the peak of the previous bull market'. In 2022, this iron rule was broken for the first time; today, it has been publicly mocked for the second time. What's worse is that this time it's not just a collapse of cryptocurrencies, but a 'full asset panic': a series of liquidations in crypto, ETF outflows, miners' profits plummeting to the limit, and precious metals also diving simultaneously. At the moment when the fear and greed index drops to single digits, the market has actually made it clear to you: this is not an ordinary pullback, but a repricing after the simultaneous bankruptcy of 'systemic dividends + liquidity expectations'.
Another anniversary has passed, raise your hand if you've experienced them all 🙋🏻♀️ 2014.2.24 Mentougou, 2017.9.4, 2020.3.12, 2021.5.19, 2025.10.11, 2025.11.21, and then to 2026.2.6.
Each round feels like a surprise at the moment, but looking back, it's actually the same script: liquidity contraction, leverage liquidation, and emotions being shattered.
This time, more ironically, even the 'stablecoin narrative' has begun to show cracks. $XPL , which was originally hoped to be defensive, has also formed a standard bearish structure: smart money has retreated in advance, prices continue to weaken, oversold but with no reversal, trading is increasing, and bulls are firmly trapped. Bears are in control, and the market is not in a hurry to provide answers.
So my current strategy is very simple: mainly wait and see. I won't guess the bottom, nor will I tough out the emotions; I will wait for the market to truly stabilize, the structure to reverse, and for the bears to let go before making any moves.
The only thing I’m doing is slowly participating through regular investments, apart from Bitcoin. Not because I'm bullish, but because I accept that I can't accurately time the bottom; not betting on a reversal, but leaving a ticket for the next round of market movements.
The market never lacks opportunities; what’s lacking are the people who can still sit at the table after the anniversary of a crash.
Couldn't help it, started dollar-cost averaging. It's not that I think it's at the bottom, I just want to leave the right and wrong to time~ Is anyone already in? 🙋♀️
190,000 ETH has been cut: Is this a tourniquet, or the first gunshot of the Ethereum bull market?
In the early morning, a huge shock, ETH once again breaks below $2100. Market sentiment is not panicked, but it has clearly started to cool. The price is not the type of 'flash crash' plummet, but rather a slow grind down, as if forcing every high-leverage bull to make their own decisions.
And against this backdrop, Trend Research's operations have been completely brought into the spotlight. 4 days, reduced positions by 190,000 ETH. This is not a minor adjustment; it is a serious severing of limbs. The only issue left is: Is this a rational self-rescue, or the first circle of the 'death spiral'? 1. What the market truly fears is not the drop, but being 'forced to sell'.
