Gasoline prices are trending upward, but ニューサム’s observations are quite intriguing. Recently, California Governor Gavin ニューサム has thoroughly refuted four myths about the government’s oil price measures.
Since Trump decided to launch a military attack on Iran, oil prices have surged sharply. American consumers are being forced to pay an average of more than $0.56 extra per gallon at gas stations. ニューサム’s team says on X, “This is the fact that Trump doesn’t want you to see.”
What’s interesting is the debate about abolishing gasoline taxes. The government claims that if taxes are eliminated, pric

Recently, I came across an analysis report published by the major market maker Wintermute, and it made me think, “I see.” In short, the situation in which altcoins don’t rise isn’t just a temporary lull—rather, the market structure itself is changing.
Looking at the data, the average duration of altcoin upswings in 2025 is about 20 days. Compared with roughly 60 days the previous year, that’s down to one-third. In other words, it’s not only that altcoins don’t rise—when they do rise, it ends quickly. During that time, the capital being absorbed goes mostly to just a handful of large-cap coins.

It seems that Backpack Wallet has finally added support for BNB Chain. For users who have been switching wallets every time they traded on BNB Chain, this could be quite convenient.
Looking at the data from DefiLlama, BNB Chain’s TVL is over $8.25 billion, ranking just below Solana’s $10.973 billion. In other words, the fact that this network can now be used with Backpack Wallet means that the number of DeFi services you can access will increase all at once.
What’s interesting about Backpack Wallet is that it now lets you manage assets from Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and other supported chai

Interesting developments unfolded in the Tokyo market. The activist investor Elliott Management acquired a large amount of shares in Daikin Industries, causing the stock price to jump by 14%—a significant increase that appears to be the largest since 2009.
This activist group seems to believe that Daikin Industries is not being fairly valued in the market. They are calling for improvements such as increasing profit margins, strengthening shareholder returns, and separating non-core businesses. The market reacted instantly as soon as the news broke during early trading on Thursday.
Elliott says

Mike McClain's latest outlook is making headlines. He points out that with the increasing risk of a U.S. recession, Bitcoin could drop to $10k. Since the current BTC price is in the $73,000 range, that's a significant downside scenario.
During economic downturns, there's indeed a tendency to flee risky assets, so it's not an impossible idea. However, such predictions often miss the mark, and how the market will react is another matter. It all depends on future economic indicators and the Federal Reserve's actions.
In any case, paying attention to insights from industry prominent analysts like

Recently, I noticed that the U.S. bond market has been moving significantly due to the escalating tensions in Iran. I think this is a very important topic regarding what it means for the cryptocurrency market.
Over the past few months, as the Iran conflict continues, U.S. Treasury yields have surged sharply. The 10-year government bond yield has risen to 4.37%, and swap spreads have reached around 50 basis points. This indicates that the cost of funding for the U.S. government is beginning to increase.
Market participants point out that if the swap spread exceeds 60 basis points or the 10-year

During the time when news related to Trump caused significant market movement, it seems that an investor made a profit of $2.5 million in just a few hours. In situations where the market is highly volatile, there are people who can make such large profits. $2.5 million is a substantial amount, but depending on timing and position, these kinds of things can happen. Recent news related to Trump has been shaking the market significantly, so those who bet on it have succeeded. Markets that move sharply in short-term trading can be opportunities for those who are prepared.

The regulation of prediction markets is finally starting to take shape. Recently, senators have been proposing bans on betting related to war and death, which could have a significant impact on the entire prediction market industry.
These kinds of developments are actually quite important, as they indicate how regulatory authorities view the category of prediction markets itself. What senators are particularly concerned about is the potential for ethically problematic bets to be left unchecked. When it comes to prediction markets involving war and human lives, regulators are naturally paying c

A ruling has been issued by the appellate court regarding Nevada's prediction market Kalshi. The temporary ban has been approved, drawing attention in the market.
Let's revisit what this ruling actually means. Kalshi is a platform specialized in political and economic predictions, allowing users to make forecasts on various event outcomes. However, there has been ongoing legal conflict with regulatory authorities.
The approval of the temporary ban at this timing indicates that the regulators' claims have been somewhat acknowledged. It is also possible that this case will serve as a reference f

Recently, large Bitcoin investors have become more defensive, which is concerning. Looking at Deribit data, ETF holders and corporate finance departments are heavily buying put options below $60k. Essentially, this means they are heavily hedging against the risk of Bitcoin falling in price.
Unsettled positions in $60k puts have reached an astonishing $1.5 billion, the highest level across Deribit's entire options market. Long-term investors holding these as perpetual assets are preparing for a significant downturn, which indicates that market sentiment has become quite cautious. About 1.26 mil

I’ve been looking for coffee grounds for a while now, but the flavor is completely different depending on the brand. Even with the same recommended coffee grounds, the roast level and grind size can completely change the impression. I tried some from well-known brands like Starbucks and MUJI, and I’m sharing what I noticed.
Personally, the most impressive to me was Ogawa Coffee’s organic coffee. It’s characterized by fruity, vibrant acidity, and the taste remains even after 1 week from opening. It’s really recommended for people who like acidity. I also tried MUJI’s “Dark Taste,” but this one

Recently, I have been concerned about scams in cryptocurrency. In particular, I’ve been seeing the term "rug pull" more and more, and it’s really causing a lot of investors trouble.
In simple terms, a rug pull is a scam scheme where the development team raises funds from investors and then suddenly abandons the project and disappears. It’s like participating in a fun game at a party, only for the host to take everyone’s money and vanish just before victory. Since the DeFi market is an unregulated area, these malicious acts continue to happen.
The reason such things occur is because scammers us

え、Bithumbがこんなことになってるんだ。内部システムに深刻な欠陥があって、妨害行為に対して脆弱だったって…正式に認めたらしい。sabotageとはいわゆる意図的な破壊工作のことだけど、こういう脆弱性が放置されてたってのは結構やばくない？
取引所のセキュリティって、ユーザーの資産を守る最後の砦なわけじゃん。それが潜在的な妨害行為に対応できないレベルだったって…信頼問題に直結する話だと思うんだけど。他の取引所も同じような問題抱えてたりするのかな。
こういうニュース見ると、やっぱり自分の資産管理をどこに預けるかって本当に重要だなって改めて感じるわ。

Seeing Bitcoin drop into the $71,000 range really makes me realize how important the $85,000 support level was. There was analysis suggesting that breaking this level would lead to increased selling pressure, and it seems like that's exactly what's happening now.
Watching it decline by nearly 2.4% in 24 hours, market sentiment must be quite bearish. I believe wise decision-making involves observing how well these key support levels hold. Once this level is broken, the risk of further decline toward the next support increases.
In the short term, selling pressure may continue, but it's crucial t

Regarding the next steps for SportFi, on-chain market development based on match results is attracting attention.
The stance of media outlets reporting on this area is actually quite complex. For media like CoinDesk that cover the crypto industry, maintaining editorial independence and transparency is crucial. They adopt strict editorial policies aimed at ensuring integrity and freedom from bias.
By the way, transparency in such major media also relates to their employee compensation structures. For example, Bullish (NYSE: BLSH), the parent company of CoinDesk, provides digital asset platforms

Recently, when I looked at Deribit's data, I noticed that Bitcoin ETF holders and treasury companies are showing quite a defensive stance. They seem to be steadily building strategies in preparation for scenarios where Bitcoin drops below $60,000.
If institutional investors are taking these kinds of actions, it probably indicates that market participants are increasingly concerned about downside risk. They are preparing to adjust their positions and hedge accordingly.
Personally, I think these large-scale defensive moves reflect the overall market sentiment. The fact that they are strengthenin

When the geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran escalated, Hyperliquid's crude oil-linked futures showed an interesting reaction. It rose nearly 5% in just a few hours. During such times, looking at the crude oil price chart reveals how sensitive the derivative market can be.
This movement is a classic risk-on market. When geopolitical shocks occur, traders immediately focus on energy-related futures. It's fascinating that even on decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid, you can see price movements that mirror those of centralized markets' crude oil charts.
Although these su

Recently, while the overall market remains in high-price territory, cryptocurrencies have yet to show a full-scale move. Although the stock market continues to hit new all-time highs, Bitcoin and Ethereum remain relatively weak.
What exactly is a cryptocurrency short? It’s a strategy aimed at profiting during market downturns, but in the current environment, many traders still hold bearish positions online. However, interesting changes are now occurring.
Looking at the macro environment, unemployment reports slightly exceeded expectations, and the rate cut expectations from the January FOMC me

It looks like Bitcoin has broken through the 50-day moving average. When I looked at the chart this morning, I could clearly see the upward trend accelerating.
The commonly used settings for moving averages are the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day lines, but breaking above the 50-day line is a pretty important signal. It suggests a shift in the short- to medium-term trend. Currently, BTC is trading around 71.68K.
For technical analysis, a recommended approach is to combine multiple moving averages. Looking at the relationship between the 50-day and 200-day lines makes it easier to judge how long th

I've been hearing a lot lately about the increasing risk of an American recession, and I think this could significantly impact Bitcoin as well. Among market participants, it seems the scenario of the U.S. economy worsening is becoming more plausible.
What I'm curious about is how far Bitcoin might fall in such a situation. If the U.S. recession intensifies, some are suggesting it could drop to around $10k. Since Bitcoin is currently in the $70k range, that would be a substantial decline from here.
The more concerns about an American recession grow, the more likely it is that capital will flow
