Weekend Market Highlights: Spot Gold Hits New Highs, Whale Activity Becomes Frequent, ETH Staking Surpasses One Million Coins

【Crypto World】Recent developments in the cryptocurrency market and global financial markets have shown multiple signals worth关注.

First, looking at commodities, spot gold has首次突破4600美元关口, which is closely related to the Federal Reserve’s policy expectations. Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently publicly stated that the Department of Justice’s criminal threats against the Fed are related to its independent interest rate setting responsibilities, aiming to reinforce the Fed’s policy independence. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors have launched criminal investigations into Powell, further increasing market uncertainty. Such macro disturbances often boost demand for safe-haven assets.

Good news comes from the ETH ecosystem, as BitMine has新增质押109,504 ETH, bringing the total staked amount to 1.19 million ETH. This means BitMine’s total ETH staking has突破100万枚大关, with an estimated total value of approximately $3.36 billion at current prices, demonstrating steady growth in staking demand within the ecosystem.

Whale and institutional movements are also noteworthy. A major whale recently清仓了91.2万美元WHITEWHALE tokens, yet still maintains a position of $4.24 million. Additionally, a new address withdrew $1.55 million ZEC from a leading exchange, reflecting ongoing interest in privacy coins. MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor再次发布比特币Tracker信息, widely interpreted as a possible signal of additional BTC accumulation.

Tether’s global expansion has also made progress, recently成功在俄罗斯为其资产代币化平台Hadron注册商标, positioning itself in stablecoin applications in emerging markets.

On the trading side, there are also cautionary cases. A leveraged trader在25倍杠杆下做多ETH, currently floating亏损28.7万美元, having retraced over $2 million from the high point,充分说明高杠杆的风险所在.
