When it comes to exchanges that don’t require KYC, I decided to sort things out a bit.
Recently, demand for KYC-free exchanges has been growing among users who prioritize privacy, but this is actually a complex matter.
Let’s start with the basics. A KYC-noncompliant exchange is a platform where you can trade without submitting an ID or proof of address. Uniswap and PancakeSwap are representative examples. As of August 2024, Uniswap has 12 million monthly active users and holds a 60% market share, so it’s quite widely adopted.
Why are they used so much? There are several reasons. First is priva

Bitcoin network activity has been quite low. According to recent analysis, it has decreased by 15% since the peak in November, dropping to 3,760 points. It’s apparently the lowest level in over a year.
What’s more concerning is the trading volume. It has decreased by 53%, from 734,000 transactions in September to 346,000. This clearly indicates a decline in daily buying and selling activity.
Looking at this trend, some analyses suggest that Bitcoin’s fair value is around $48,000 to $95,000. In other words, understanding where the current market price stands is crucial. The decline in network a

Recently, there was an interesting news story related to Elon Musk. It's about the tiny house project announced by Tesla, and it's quite fascinating.
The basic concept is to create affordable, self-sufficient housing. When you think of Elon Musk's homes, you might imagine luxury mansions, but this project is the complete opposite, aiming for simple and efficient design. The expected base price is around $7,999. They are targeting a very affordable price range.
The size options are also interesting, with multiple models planned from 26 square meters to 76 square meters. In other words, it can a

Recently, I’ve been getting more questions about what peer-to-peer (P2P) trading is. In fact, it’s quite an important option among cryptocurrency trading methods.
Simply put, P2P trading is a way to exchange digital assets directly between individuals without an intermediary. Buyers and sellers communicate directly, negotiating and deciding on the price and payment methods themselves. There are marketplaces and platforms that enable these kinds of transactions, where users can post buy and sell orders.
The reason why more people are paying attention to P2P trading is because it offers signific

Recently, I feel that the logic behind AI trading has clearly started to change.
Until now, AI trading mainly involved learning past patterns and mechanically buying and selling repeatedly. It was like automating technical analysis—buy when certain conditions are met, sell under different conditions—a simple rule-based approach.
However, now that framework is beginning to shift significantly. AI is no longer just a tool for automated trading; it has started to assess market psychology, macroeconomic factors, and even liquidity movements in a complex manner. In other words, it is analyzing more

There are several legendary traders in Japan's stock market. Among them, the most famous are BNF and Takashi Kotegawa. Both started trading during their university days, initially with small capital, gradually increasing their assets. They gained sudden attention after the 2005 J-COM misorder incident. On that day, Takashi Kotegawa earned 600 million yen, and BNF made even more, pocketing 2 billion yen in just 10 minutes. Considering the exchange rates at the time, that was a considerable amount of money.
What’s interesting is that, in Japan’s typically modest trading community, these two open

I noticed that Bitcoin network activity has significantly declined. It has decreased by 15% from its November peak, dropping to 3,760 points. It's at its lowest level in over a year.
Looking more closely, this seems mainly due to a sharp decrease in daily transaction volume. In September, there were 734,000 transactions, but now it's down to 346,000. A 53% decrease.
According to the latest analysis from CryptoQuant, the fair value of Bitcoin is indicated to be between $48,000 and $95,000. If the current market price exceeds this range, it could be overvalued. The decline in network activity an

Recently, I’ve been thinking about the "rug pull" that’s often discussed in the crypto market. It’s truly a frightening scheme.
Simply put, it’s when the development team runs off with investors’ funds. When the project starts gaining momentum, they suddenly sell off the tokens and disappear. Investors are left holding worthless tokens. Because DeFi is an unregulated field, scams like this are rampant.
Looking at real cases makes the danger clear. OneCoin was a project launched in 2014 by “Crypto Queen” Ruja Ignatova, but it turned out to be a massive scam that defrauded billions of dollars wo

I've been getting a lot of questions lately about doji candles, but actually, this pattern is quite important for reading market sentiment. This pattern, also called an Inverted Doji or Spinning Top, indicates a state where buyers and sellers are in complete balance.
Basically, it’s a candlestick where the open and close are at roughly the same level, but with long wicks extending above and below. For example, Bitcoin might start the day at $20,000 and end at $20,000, but during the 24 hours, it might have risen to $25,000 and fallen to $15,000. That’s a typical doji candle formation.
Why is t

Recently, news that the prediction market platform Polymarket is considering building its own blockchain has shaken the industry. Originally, this platform, which grew rapidly within the Polygon ecosystem, is now attempting to become independent from its parent chain. This could potentially cause more damage to Polygon than initially expected.
In fact, the challenges Polymarket faces are primarily due to technical limitations. As demand for high-frequency trading surged, issues such as transaction delays and order cancellations began to occur frequently. Worse still, attackers exploited the ti

The recent rebound of Bitcoin over the past few days is truly fascinating. As Mr. Yi Lihua points out, now that geopolitical concerns have temporarily settled, the price has broken through $80k as expected and is currently rising to $81.25k. When considering the next bubble in cryptocurrencies, it’s important to look at both short-term volatility and long-term trends.
His strategy is quite instructive. It involves gradually closing positions as the price rises. I believe this approach is not just about taking profits but also a tactic to read market sentiment. The idea that the bottom might no

A major change is about to occur in Japan's cryptocurrency market. News has emerged that the Financial Services Agency has fundamentally revised the regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and has submitted a new bill to the Diet to significantly strengthen user protection.
What’s noteworthy is that the regulation of cryptocurrencies, which had been handled under the Payment Services Act, will now be transferred to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. In other words, the FSA is signaling its intention to manage cryptocurrencies within a more stringent financial regulatory framework.

It seems that the US stock market has been quite strong. At the start of recent trading, the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.98%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average also increased by 0.48%, and the S&P 500 rose by 0.62%. This information has been confirmed through multiple data sources, but during such times, cryptocurrency-related stocks tend to move in tandem. In fact, Coinbase (COIN) rose by 1.94%, and Robinhood increased by 1.21%. I was reminded once again that the flow of the stock market also influences the cryptocurrency market. During these market conditions, it's important to check mult

Bitcoin is rebounding above $80k, and there's some data that catches my attention. On-chain activity has dropped to its lowest level in two years. According to Santiment's data, there are about 530k active wallets per day and 200k new wallets. That's quite low. Normally, when prices go up, more users should participate in the network, but this rally seems different. It appears to be driven by a small number of large players, with little influx of new or returning users.
When considering what this kind of pause means, it actually indicates a quiet period at the bottom of the market. Historicall

News has emerged that State Street has partnered with Galaxy Digital to launch an on-chain cash management fund. I think this is a very interesting development.
In the traditional asset management world, cash management funds are a fundamental component for institutional investors. But when such funds are realized on the blockchain, the story changes. The fact that major financial institutions like State Street are seriously entering this space suggests that tokenized funds are moving beyond mere experimentation and are becoming actual business solutions.
The benefits of on-chainization are cl

Bitcoin has been rising quite a bit over the past few weeks. Last month, it was hovering around $75,000, but now it has surpassed $81,000. Analysts seem to be closely watching this movement, and there are talks that a major breakout could happen.
Honestly, at this point, many people might be considering taking profits. But at the same time, there are also views that it could go even higher. How it moves around this level will likely be the key point moving forward.
In any case, these kinds of situations with Bitcoin tend to influence the entire market, so it looks like the situation will conti

It seems Tristan Thompson has started an NBA stats prediction market. Honestly, I think these kinds of initiatives are pretty interesting.
In other words, this project launched by Tristan Thompson appears to make NBA players' game stats tradable like stocks. Like predicting and betting on individual stats such as rebounds or assists?
Is this a fusion of sports and crypto? For an NBA player like Tristan Thompson to directly create such a market is quite a novel move. He must have a unique perspective as a professional athlete.
I wonder how much these prediction markets will catch on. Will Trist

As Bitcoin remains weak, personally I am interested in assets like XRP, Plasma, and DOGE.
Especially XRP is trading around $1.45, up 1.61% in 24 hours.
DOGE is also around $0.11, with a 0.92% gain.
When Bitcoin is hovering around $80.90K and in a wait-and-see phase, it’s common for funds to flow into these alternative assets.
For those managing their assets through self-custody, this is a good opportunity to check the movements of multiple assets.
If you practice thorough self-custody, you can respond flexibly to market fluctuations.
While watching future price movements, I am once

It seems that Bitcoin is entering a correction phase. The level of $75,000 is being repeatedly recognized, and it’s becoming a benchmark.
Looking at recent movements, there is ongoing struggle around the $75,000 mark. Whether this level can be broken or not will likely determine the next development. In fact, Bitcoin has now risen to the $80,000 range, so $75,000 is already acting as a support level.
Based on market reactions, it appears that breaking below $75,000 would strengthen selling pressure, which seems to be a common understanding among market participants. In the short term, a correc

Recently, I often see questions about what exactly a dex is. If you’re new to cryptocurrency, you’ve probably wondered at least once about the difference between CEX and DEX. In fact, these two types of exchanges are built on completely different approaches.
First, let’s start with the basics. A CEX is a centralized exchange, where a single organization uses an order book to match buyers and sellers. On the other hand, a dex refers to a decentralized exchange that runs automatically on the blockchain using smart contracts. Its key feature is that it doesn’t require registration—anyone can use
