Gold has skyrocketed to a historical high of $4,900!
Just now, gold broke through $4900, setting a new historical high. This is a very extreme 'red alert' signal in the financial markets. In simple terms, this means that global capital is in extreme panic, frantically selling off risk assets (such as stocks and certain currencies), and flooding into gold, the 'last safe haven,' regardless of cost.
The two main reasons for the surge in gold are:
1. Core Trigger: Trump's 'Greenland' Trade War Panic
This is not a normal economic fluctuation, but a geopolitical black swan event.
What happened: Trump was rejected in his attempt to buy Greenland, and in a fit of rage, threatened to impose high tariffs on European allies.
🚨 [Breaking] Trump sues for $5 billion! Rips JPMorgan apart, this is simply the 'strongest advertisement' for Bitcoin.
Just now, a nuclear bomb exploded in the American political and business world: President Trump officially sued Wall Street's largest bank, JPMorgan, and its CEO Jamie Dimon, seeking $5 billion.
This incident seems like a 'fight among immortals', but it is intricately linked to the 'right to survive' in our crypto circle.
Trump accuses JPMorgan of using its financial dominance to close his associated accounts or refuse to provide normal banking services to him and his businesses due to political stance and personal bias.
The Real Market Cycle: It's Not Just as Simple as a 4-Year Halving
Many people think that the crypto market is only about the '4-year halving cycle', the end of QT, the start of QE, and interest rate cuts. But the truth is: the real driving force of the macro market is the 'business cycle'. Why is there an illusion of a '4-year cycle'? Because the past three rounds of the global business cycle just happened to be 4 years! Bitcoin has always followed the global business cycle, and not just the halving events: ∙ When the business cycle peaks → BTC peaks ∙ When the business cycle bottoms → BTC follows and bottoms Even the structure of the BTC cycle perfectly maps to the trends of business cycle indicators.
After listening to CZ's speech in Davos, I am convinced: although he has stepped back, he still dominates this industry.
Today I spent two minutes listening to CZ's live speech at the Davos World Economic Forum, and the information was immense! I won't be a translator; I'll break it down into plain language that we can understand. 1. Where is he? What is he doing? Location: Davos, Switzerland, home to the world's top economic forum. Identity: Although no longer a CEO, he is now more like a 'personal coach for governments'. He claims to be advising many governments on how to manage cryptocurrency.
Highlight: Trump also discussed that 'peace agreement' in Davos. With Trump on stage and CZ in the audience, isn't that quite a sight?
I listened to CZ's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos for two minutes, and it was packed with information!
1. Where was he? What was he doing?
Location: Davos, Switzerland, the world's premier economic forum.
Identity: Although he's no longer a CEO, he's now more like a "private tutor to governments around the world."
Highlight: Trump also spoke about the "peace agreement" at Davos. Trump on stage, CZ in the audience—the imagery is striking, isn't it?
2. What did he say?
The group on stage might be fantasizing about creating a global crypto regulatory authority. CZ's view: No way!
Viewpoint 1: The banking industry has been around for centuries, so global standards are similar. But cryptocurrencies are different. The US doesn't control capital outflows, but many countries (especially developing countries) have foreign exchange controls.
Each country has its own agenda (some want to collect taxes, some are afraid of money laundering, some are afraid of capital flight). Do you expect them to take orders from a single leader? Impossible
Viewpoint Two:
While the US is also making progress, it's still "in progress."
Countries like the UAE and Kazakhstan, on the other hand, are acting very quickly and are willing to listen to industry opinions.
Viewpoint Three: Since global unification is out of the question, what should be done? CZ offered his answer: "Regulatory Passports."
This is like an international driver's license. If you get your driver's license in France, you can drive in Germany without having to retake the test.
As long as I obtain a license in a compliant country, other countries should mutually recognize it. This is the only way for the industry to take off, instead of making exchanges fill out forms again in every country.
CZ's recent appearance sends a strong signal:
Although he has stepped back from the limelight, he is still paving the way for the entire industry's "compliant path."
He's no longer discussing specific coin price fluctuations, but rather how to make this industry as seamless as "getting a driver's license" globally.
Trump and the dogs collaborated to kill the pig; can it get any uglier than this?
Today's market I have just two words: disgusting! 🤮
Trump announced a "pause on tariffs" around 3 AM, which was supposed to be a huge boost, right?
What happened? These dogs slammed $BTC before the news came out! They smashed through 88,000, with the lowest dip at 87,263.
What is this called? This is called "premature burial"! It clearly shows that the institutions knew the news in advance and conspired with Trump.
First, they create panic, tricking us into giving up our bloody chips, blow up the long leverage, and then slowly release the good news.
Now the price has pulled back to 90,043, looking like nothing ever happened. But where did those thousands of dollars that disappeared go? All from cutting losses and liquidation orders!
The worst off are those brothers who, seeing no good news and thinking it would crash at 87k, just cut their losses, only for the car to drive away. This is simply murder of the heart!
The current 90,000 threshold is built on the corpses of retail investors.
This wave proved one thing: in this circle, news is just used to deceive.
If you haven't gotten off the bus yet, then just hold on tight! Since the "nuclear bomb pit" at 87,000 couldn't bury you, just wait and see how these dogs perform in breaking the previous high!
Don't fear the market's drop, fear the dogs playing tricks. Regardless of whether it's up or down tonight, we've taken note of this account! 😡👊
Today's market is not simply a 'drop and rise,' but a classic manipulation of macro news combined with targeted harvesting by institutions.
1. The culprit behind the market crash: Trump and Greenland's 'ransom note'
Morning's crash (
the spike to $87,264) was not caused by the cryptocurrency market, but rather by geopolitical black swans:
• Event recap: Trump previously threatened to impose a 25% tariff on European allies (especially Nordic countries) under the pretext of a dispute over control of Greenland.
• Market response: Panic sentiment instantly ignited globally. Funds madly flowed into gold, causing the gold price to soar to a historical high of $4,888 within the day, seen as the 'ultimate safe haven.'
Vanar Research Report: Google Infrastructure + NVIDIA AI, how established projects complete dimensionality reduction attacks?
In the blockchain battle of 2026, mere stories can no longer suffice. The market begins to reward projects with real income and genuine partnerships with industry giants. After in-depth research on @Vanarchain ($VANRY ), I found that it has successfully transformed from an 'entertainment blockchain' to a 'hybrid AI infrastructure.'
1. Luxurious ecological circle To evaluate whether a project can succeed, first look at who its friends are. Vanar's circle is simply the 'Hall of Fame' of the Web2 tech industry:
Computing power and infrastructure: NVIDIA provides AI technology support, Google Cloud provides node facilities.
If you are looking for a target in 2026 that combines AI narrative and financial implementation (PayFi), @Vanarchain is an unavoidable choice.
Why is it said to be the ticket for the regular army?
First, let's look at the infrastructure. Vanar is a deep partner of Google Cloud, achieving carbon neutrality by utilizing Google's green energy nodes.
This is the preferred public chain for major Web2 companies that focus on ESG (environmental protection) to enter Web3.
Secondly, let's consider the financial depth. The involvement of payment giant Worldpay is not just an endorsement; it has also opened potential channels for a transaction volume of $23 trillion.
Imagine that in the future, invoices and receipts turn into AI-readable "intelligent assets" through Vanar's Neutron layer, and are automatically settled through Worldpay's network. This is the ultimate form of PayFi.
Currently, the market value of $VANRY is extremely cost-effective compared to this grand ecological vision.
With the official launch of the CreatorPad event, community enthusiasm is on the rise. For investors optimistic about "real asset on-chain + AI automation," now is the best time to position themselves.
Why is VANAR considered an underestimated 'Google-like' infrastructure?
In the AI frenzy of 2026, if you only focus on the local dog, you might miss the real infrastructure Alpha—@Vanarchain . Many veteran players still have their impressions of it stuck in the Virtua era, but in fact, VANAR has already undergone a 'rebirth' evolution. It is no longer just an entertainment public chain, but has upgraded to a Layer 1 infrastructure that integrates PayFi (payment finance), RWA (real-world assets), and AI-native. Today, let's break down the logic in a way that retail investors can understand, and see what big moves $VANRY is making.
I took a glance at the board and was amazed. @Plasma ($XPL ) The current circulating market value is only 261 million USD.
Brothers, compare this with those public chains next door that easily have tens of billions in FDV; Plasma's price is simply like 'giving away money'.
It has backing from Bitfinex and support from Peter Thiel. Projects with this kind of background can easily hype the 'payment public chain' concept in a bull market, with market values multiplying by 5 or 10 times being reasonable.
The current low market value precisely indicates that value discovery hasn't even begun. This is the real Alpha opportunity.
When playing in the secondary market, the most important thing is to know the dealer's bottom cards. The white paper of @Plasma will end the 12-month lock-up period for American investors on July 28, 2026.
Current institutional investors hold a large amount of chips but cannot sell them.
If you were them, what would you do?
You would definitely try to find a way to release the good news before the unlock (that is, from January to June now), build up the ecosystem, and push up the coin price, so that in July, the unlock can be done comfortably.
So now (January) to June is the best time for retail investors to "take a ride". The dealer is responsible for driving the price up, and we are responsible for ambushing.
Public offering price $0.05, now $0.127: How are those who thought Plasma's valuation was high doing now?
Brothers, open the market software and look at @Plasma ($XPL ) the current K line, I believe many people's feelings are complicated.
The current price is stable at around $0.1277, with a market cap of $263 million.
Turn back time to six months ago (July 2025), when the public offering price of Plasma was $0.05. This means that even if you bought with your eyes closed back then, your account balance has already increased by 2.6 times.
In the crypto world, the most painful thing is not losing money, but watching a project that you know has a 'strong background' steadily rise because you hesitated to get in.
I really have to admire the operational methods of @Dusk , it’s like a catfish, completely stirring up the originally somewhat dull traffic pool of Binance Square.
In the past, everyone published articles just to complete tasks, rewards were slow to be issued, and there was no real passion. But DUSK has pushed the official to change the settlement cycle to 14 days, which is definitely a brilliant move in the history of operations in the cryptocurrency world.
This "high-frequency incentive" directly hits the pain points of creators. Who doesn’t want to get paid earlier? Who doesn’t want to receive a paycheck every two weeks? This instant feedback mechanism will drive a large number of KOLs and retail investors to spontaneously study and promote DUSK.
You will find that there are increasingly more in-depth articles about DUSK recently, which is a consensus fission driven by money. This level of enthusiasm is not bought with fake followers; it is built on real financial investment, and the foundation is very solid.
Wherever the traffic is, the funds will follow. When thousands of creators are discussing DUSK, it becomes a prominent player in the market. This attention economy will ultimately convert into buy orders on the market.
Moreover, since the project team dares to play like this, it shows that they have plenty of ammunition at hand and are not afraid of retail investors dumping. For us ordinary investors, following such a project team that understands both technology and human nature presents a great winning opportunity.
Holding $DUSK , you are not just investing in a public chain, but also in a top-tier traffic marketing campaign. #dusk
Watching the price of Dusk (@Dusk ) skyrocket from 0.05 to 0.33, many people were devastated, regretting not buying earlier or selling too soon.
But I want to share my experience of turning 1200 USDT into profit in half a month to tell everyone that it's never too late to start paying attention to a high-quality project like Dusk.
Because its market capitalization is still very small compared to the trillion-dollar RWA market it's supporting. We can't use a short-term perspective to evaluate an infrastructure-level project.
The current pullback is actually giving those who missed out a second chance. Dusk's fundamentals are very solid: it has official support from Binance Square, compliant technical barriers, and a physical exchange presence.
These three driving forces are propelling it forward; it's hard for it not to rise. The biggest taboo in investing is chasing highs and selling lows, not being afraid to buy after a 6x increase. You need to calculate the risk-reward ratio. If it can break into the top 50 in market capitalization in the future, the current price is the floor.
We need to learn to find certainty in a noisy market. Dusk offers certainty through its "legitimate" status and continuous community incentives. Holding $DUSK not only allows you to enjoy the benefits of rising coin prices but also lets you participate in creator activities to earn additional cash flow.
This dual-income model is the best strategy for navigating bull and bear markets. Don't easily hand over your tokens for short-term gains; take a long-term view. Dusk's story has only just begun. Hold on, be a patient hunter, and wait for the market to deliver the richest rewards.
If other projects are telling stories, then @Dusk is getting things done; it has directly invested in the Netherlands' NPEX stock exchange.
The significance of this matter has been severely underestimated by the market. NPEX is not some fly-by-night exchange; it is a legitimate securities trading platform regulated by the Netherlands and the European Union.
Through this collaboration, Dusk has directly inserted blockchain technology into the heart of traditional finance. In the future, small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe can issue digital stocks and bonds directly on the Dusk network, with investors' dividends, transactions, and settlements all automatically completed on-chain.
This ability to manifest in the real world is the only standard for assessing the quality of RWA projects. Many projects claim to put assets on the blockchain but fail to obtain even a compliant license, ultimately issuing a worthless token.
Dusk is taking the approach of "surrounding the city from the countryside"; first securing the exchange, then the enterprises, and finally forming an ecological closed loop.
In this ecosystem, $DUSK tokens are the indispensable fuel. Every transfer of stocks and every issuance of dividends consumes tokens.
This genuine demand stemming from the real economy will provide the most solid support for the token price. Even in a bear market, as long as enterprises are still fundraising and exchanges are still operating, the demand for tokens will not cease.
Dusk occupies this high ground in Europe, where regulations are the most rigorous, and with the explosion of the RWA wave, it is very likely to become the European version of "Ethereum."
Investing in Dusk is not just buying a token; it is buying a ticket to enter the compliant financial market in Europe. This level of security, deeply tied to the real economy, cannot be compared to other purely speculative projects. #dusk
When we delve into the underlying logic of @Dusk , we find that it hits the pain point of a trillion-dollar market, which is the compliance of institutional entry.
Large funds on Wall Street are most afraid of two things when it comes to playing with cryptocurrency: first, the ledger is too transparent, revealing their hand to opponents;
second, privacy is too thorough, leading regulatory bodies to classify it as money laundering. Dusk perfectly solves this "need both" dilemma with zero-knowledge proof technology.
It achieves a form of "auditable privacy" that protects transaction details from public view while proving to regulators that the source of funds is clean.
This is the core moat of Dusk and the cornerstone supporting the value of the $DUSK token. Many privacy coins on the market have been delisted by exchanges for failing to meet compliance requirements, but Dusk is becoming increasingly popular due to its compliance.
Its self-developed Piecrust virtual machine not only operates quickly but is specifically designed for these complex compliance transactions. It's like building a dedicated highway for financial institutions, with good road conditions, high speed, and without the worry of being stopped by traffic police.
With the implementation of the European MiCA legislation, compliance will become a lifeline for all projects. Dusk, headquartered in the Netherlands, is naturally adapted to this strict regulatory system.
This means that when traditional financial assets are massively brought on-chain, Dusk will be the preferred platform for carrying them. Buying in now at $DUSK is essentially betting on the future trend of the integration of traditional finance and the crypto world.
Such technological barriers cannot be created through marketing, but are written line by line in code. In a noisy market, projects that can solve real business problems are the ones most worthy of long-term allocation as alpha.
Half a Month to Cash Out 1220U Record: The Compliance RWA Ambition Behind DUSK's Surge
Just last night, when I suddenly saw the assets that had arrived in my account, I deeply realized that the project @Dusk is brewing a significant ecological transformation. The catalyst for this was a major announcement from Binance Square, which declared that the reward settlement period for creators would be shortened from a long month to 14 days, and in the announcement, they very rarely publicly thanked the Dusk project team.
This is not just a simple adjustment of rules; it is a direct reflection of the project's strength. I participated in the creation for half a month with a mindset of just giving it a try, and I ended up with 5230 tokens in my account, which I directly cashed out for 1220 USD at the then market price. The impact of this profit-making effect is enormous, forcing me to re-evaluate this asset that I have been paying attention to for some time.
The Underlying Logic Behind DUSK's 6-Fold Surge: This Is Definitely Not a Simple Fund Manipulation
Recently, the most exciting thing for me in the crypto circle is that @Dusk has pushed for the reform of Binance Square's rules all by itself. This is not just an event; it is a direct overflow of the project's strength.
We all know that in this circle, many project parties are like 'Pixiu' that only take in and do not give out, but DUSK's recent series of actions have directly hit the word 'pattern' on the public screen.
Yesterday, Binance Square announced that it would shorten the reward cycle to 14 days and specifically thanked DUSK. This kind of official endorsement is very valuable. Considering that a month and a half ago, DUSK's price was still hovering around 0.055 U, and in the last two days it surged to a maximum of 0.33 U, this nearly 6-fold increase has made everyone who was still watching slam their thighs.
Last night, when I woke up and saw an extra 1220 USDT in my account, I truly realized how big the project @Dusk is.
This is not just an ordinary airdrop; it is the first wave of dividends after the changes in the Binance Square rules. Just yesterday, Binance officially announced that the creator reward cycle has been shortened from one month to 14 days, and in the announcement, they particularly thanked DUSK. What does this mean?
It means that the project party has strong financial strength and is unwilling to let the community wait. They dare to use real money for high-frequency incentives to gain market consensus!
I just casually wrote for half a month and received 5230 pieces of $DUSK . Looking back at the K-line, I broke into a cold sweat: half a month ago it was only 0.055 U, and in the past few days, it has surged to a maximum of 0.33 U, an increase of a full 6 times! In the current market, this is simply picking up money.
Why is DUSK so strong? Because it has hit the dual windfalls of RWA and compliant privacy. It is not a worthless coin; it is a "regular army" that has already invested in the stock exchange in Europe, and can protect privacy while passing compliance checks. What Wall Street giants like BlackRock need most is this kind of infrastructure.
In my view, the current correction is all an opportunity. A project that can make Binance Square reform, can increase the token price by 6 times, and can pay creators their salary for 14 days, its journey is definitely not at 0.3 U.
Opportunities always belong to those who are perceptive and aware. Since the officials have launched a 14-day wealth acceleration program, do you still want to stand on the sidelines and miss out? #dusk
