Bjorn Schmidtke who is the CEO of Aurelion has warned
that most people who buy gold today do not really own gold. He says that almost all gold that people think they own is not real gold. It is only paper claims. These claims are called paper gold. When someone buys paper gold they believe they own a gold bar. But in truth they only own a promise. This system has worked for many years because most people never ask for real gold. They only trade the paper. But Schmidtke says this is dangerous. He believes that about ninety eight percent of gold exposure is only paper. That means almost all gold is only a promise on paper and not real metal in hand. If a big money crash happens and people rush to get real gold the system will not be ready. There will not be enough gold bars to give to everyone at the same time. Moving large amounts of gold takes time. Also there is no clear proof showing which person owns which gold bar. This can cause panic and delay. It can also cause big price gaps between real gold and paper gold. Schmidtke says this has already happened in other metal markets. When people wanted real metal the price of physical metal went up but the paper price stayed low. He believes the same could happen with gold one day. To solve this problem Aurelion has changed how it holds gold. The company now uses a digital gold token that is backed by real gold stored in Swiss vaults. Each token is linked to a real gold bar. This means every holder has clear proof of ownership. He compares this to buying a house. If you only buy shares in a housing project you do not know which home is yours. But if you sign a title deed you know exactly which house you own. Tokenized gold works like a title deed. You know which gold bar is yours even if it stays in a vault. This makes it easier to trade ownership without moving the gold. The gold can stay safe in storage while the token moves between people in seconds. If someone wants to redeem their gold they can still do it. It may take time to ship but the ownership is clear and safe. Aurelion now holds a large amount of this digital gold. The company plans to keep growing its gold holdings. Schmidtke says this is not a short term plan. It is a long term way to protect value. He also believes that gold and bitcoin can work together. Gold gives safety and bitcoin gives growth. Both can help protect wealth in the future. The price of gold has risen strongly in the past year. Many people are buying it as a safe asset. But Schmidtke warns that how you own gold is just as important as owning it. Paper gold may fail when people need it most. Digital gold with real backing offers a safer path. He believes this new system can change how people trust gold in the future. #Gold #DigitalGold #TokenizedGold #CryptoNews #Blockchain
The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates the same this Wednesday.
Almost everyone believes there will be no change in rates. This means the real focus will not be the rate decision itself but what Jerome Powell says after the meeting. Traders from both stock and crypto markets will listen closely to his words. His view on the future could move prices fast. Many people are hoping he will signal a soft pause. This means he would suggest that rate cuts may return later. If this happens risk assets like bitcoin could move higher. The Fed already cut rates three times before. Now it is expected to stop for a while. Powell said earlier that more cuts may not come until next year. Other Fed members also said it is too early to cut again. So the decision to hold rates is already expected and will not surprise the market. The big question is what kind of pause this will be. If Powell talks about inflation risks and sounds strict then markets may fall. This is called a hard pause. But if he sounds calm and open to cuts later then markets may rise. This would be a soft pause and many traders are hoping for this. Some experts believe Powell will keep the door open for future cuts. This would show that the Fed is still ready to act if the economy slows. If a few Fed members speak against the pause this could also support markets and push bitcoin higher. Not everyone agrees on what will happen next. Some believe there will be one or two cuts later this year. Others think there will be no cuts at all. This difference in views is what makes the market so active right now. Powell is also expected to answer questions about the economy. He may speak about recent policy ideas from the government that aim to make housing more affordable. Some believe these plans could push demand too fast and raise home prices again. If Powell hints that these ideas may cause inflation the market could react quickly. There is also concern about tariffs and how they may raise prices in the future. Higher import costs often move into daily goods. This can keep inflation higher for longer and make the Fed more careful. Another topic may be bond market moves linked to Japan. These changes can affect global money flow and add pressure to risk assets. Powell may try to calm these fears and say the system is still stable. Some may ask about pressure on the Fed and its independence. Powell has said before that the central bank makes decisions based on data and not politics. He may avoid deep comments and stay focused on policy goals. In the end this meeting is more about words than actions. The rate will likely stay the same. But Powell tone will guide markets. If he sounds open and relaxed bitcoin and stocks could rise. If he sounds strict and worried markets may fall. Traders will be watching every word. The next move in crypto could begin from this single speech. #TradingNews #CryptoWorld
Bitcoin fell below 88000 during thin weekend trading and
this move added more fear to the crypto market. The drop extended a week long pullback that already pushed most major coins lower. Many traders were already nervous and this move made the mood even weaker. At the time of the fall Bitcoin was trading near 87800. This was about two percent lower in one day. Other big coins also fell. Ether moved close to 2880. Solana XRP and Cardano also dropped between three and five percent. Over the last seven days most top coins are still down. This shows that confidence in the market is still low. This price move caused many traders to lose money. Around 224 million dollars in bullish positions were closed. Bitcoin based futures saw about 68 million dollars wiped out. Ether futures lost around 45 million dollars. Many people used leverage and when prices moved fast their positions were forced to close. Weekend trading is usually quiet. Big moves during this time are often caused by traders adjusting their positions instead of new news. After a very volatile week many people chose to reduce risk and this added pressure on prices. Traders are now watching events outside crypto. One major focus is the Japanese yen. Officials in Japan warned about strange moves in the currency. The yen suddenly moved late last week and this made traders nervous. If Japan steps in to control the yen it could affect global markets. There is also political tension in the United States. Lawmakers are arguing over a spending bill. Some leaders said they will block it unless certain funding is removed. This has raised the risk of a partial government shutdown. When this happens markets often feel stress because it can affect money flow and confidence. Earlier in the week Bitcoin also dropped below 90000. At the same time more than one billion dollars in leveraged positions across crypto were closed. This happened as traders reacted to fast changes in currency and bond markets. Many people decided to cut their risk and move to safer positions. Now the market is waiting for the new week to begin. Traders are watching big tech company earnings because they can influence overall market mood. When stock markets feel weak crypto often follows. Another key event is the next Federal Reserve meeting. Most people expect rates to stay the same. This shows that the central bank is waiting to see how the economy moves. Even when nothing changes markets can still react because people look for hints about the future. For now the crypto market remains in a fragile state. Many traders are cautious. Prices can still move fast because fear and leverage are still present. Bitcoin going below 88000 is a sign that the market needs time to find balance again. The coming days will be important. Global events currency moves and political news will all play a role. Until confidence returns traders will likely stay careful and avoid taking big risks. #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #CryptoMarket
A short-term technical view of XPL/USDT based solely off of technical analysis. In the smaller timeframe, we may say the price is currently trading below the supertrend line; therefore, we still need to be in the bearish phase in the market. The volume levels are increasing while all candles are red in color; this indicates the sellers are still active at the current price levels in the range.
The price levels around the areas of 0.1180 are acting as support in the market. However, if there is a move back above the Super Trend with a price close to 0.1239 on increasing volumes, this could be a switch in direction and a potential move into an advance towards the area around 0.1280. As always, this is only a technical perspective, not a financial one. Be sure to keep an eye on risk, think independently, and trade sensibly. #Plasma @Plasma $XPL

Bitcoin Trade View As of now, BitCoin's weakness does not come from quantum theory; instead, it results from individuals’ profit-taking in and around the $100K price level. Large holders are currently selling BitCoin, and supply is dominating demand. As a result, the trend is not performing well. Bias: Short-term short, long-term bullish As long as we remain below this resistance range of $92K-$94K, we remain short in small pullbacks. If we stay above this range, our position changes to long. Key Levels: Support: $87K - $84 Resistance: $92K - $100 Trade the price, not the headlines. #bitcoin $BTC
Breaking Down Plasma Big XPL Launch and Why Stablecoins Are Taking Over Finance
Plasma recently shared a new episode from its series Where Money Moves. This is episode six and it talks about big changes in finance. It focuses on stablecoins the move of banks into crypto and the launch of Plasma own token called XPL. Let us begin with XPL. Plasma is launching its native token XPL. This token will power the Plasma network. It will help secure the system. It will support smart contracts. It will also connect Plasma to Bitcoin. XPL is not just a trading token. It is the core engine of the network. Only ten percent of the total supply is available in the first phase. The full value of the project is set at five hundred million dollars. This matches the value of their recent funding round. After listening to the community Plasma increased the total deposit limit to two hundred fifty million dollars. To keep it fair each person can only join up to fifty million dollars. This shows Plasma is trying to balance demand and fairness. They want more people to take part without letting a few control everything. Now let us talk about stablecoins. Stablecoins are digital dollars that move fast across the world. They are cheaper than banks and work all day without delays. This is why they are growing so fast. Big banks in the United States are now looking at stablecoins as part of their future. They see that people want faster and simpler ways to send money. Stablecoins can move across borders in seconds. No waiting. No high fees. We also see more companies entering this space. Some payment firms now allow businesses to send stablecoins to over one hundred eighty countries. Other companies are building tools to help businesses create and manage their own stablecoins. Even central banks are testing how stablecoins can fit into national systems. This shows that stablecoins are not a trend. They are becoming part of real finance. The numbers prove it. There are now more than two hundred forty four billion dollars worth of stablecoins in circulation. In the last thirty days alone they moved more than four trillion dollars. This is massive. It shows that people and businesses already trust and use stablecoins every day. Tether is still the biggest stablecoin but others are also growing. The total usage keeps rising each month. So what does this mean for Plasma. Plasma is building a system that supports this new financial world. Its network is designed for fast stablecoin movement. XPL will secure this system and help it grow. It will power smart contracts and support the bridge to Bitcoin. This is not just about launching a token. It is about building the roads for future money. My final thought. Stablecoins are becoming normal tools for people and companies. Banks are joining. Businesses are using them. Countries are testing them. Plasma is placing itself at the center of this change. XPL is the start of that journey. It is not only a token. It is the base for a new way money can move across the world. #Plasma @Plasma $XPL
Plasma (XPL) is developing something actually useful in the blockchain world by building something that people need as opposed to something people want. Unlike most projects that try to solve all their objectives at once, the Plasma project is trying to build something that possesses the security found in the bitcoin blockchain as well as the versatility found in the Ethereum blockchain. Thanks to its compatibility with EVM, as well as its direct connection to Bitcoin, Plasma gives the opportunity to create actual financial tools while keeping things simple and accessible in transactions. The XPL token has a significant part in staking, operation, as well as governance, enabling voice in its growth to the community itself. Naturally, as the adoption of Ethereum continues to grow, many people are keeping an eye on XPL. If they continue to provide high technology and use cases, the future may look very bright. #Plasma $XPL @Plasma
Japan saw a clear change in prices during December.
The main inflation number slowed for the first time in four months. This showed that the cost of daily goods is not rising as fast as before. The yearly rate dropped to 2.1 percent from 2.9 percent in November. This gave hope that price pressure may slowly cool in the coming months. The core inflation rate which removes fresh food also moved lower. It fell to 2.4 percent from 3 percent. This means some parts of the market are calming. But not all prices are slowing. The core core inflation which removes food and energy stayed high at 2.9 percent. This shows that basic prices are still rising in many areas. It means people still feel pressure when they shop or pay for services. Because of this mixed data the Bank of Japan decided to keep interest rates the same. The main rate stayed at 0.75 percent. The bank also raised its future growth and inflation outlook. This shows that the economy is still expected to grow even though prices are not falling fast. The bank said it will move carefully and watch the data before making changes. After the news Bitcoin stayed near 90000. It did not move much during the day. The Japanese yen became slightly weaker against the US dollar. It moved to around 158.70. Some experts believe the yen may stay weak for a while. In recent weeks Bitcoin and the yen have been moving in a similar way. When one changes the other often follows. Because of this link some think a weak yen could affect Bitcoin in the short term. At the same time the yield on the ten year Japanese government bond rose. It moved to 1.12 percent. This shows that investors expect higher rates in the future. It also shows concern about government spending and taxes. With elections coming some fear that more spending could raise debt. These worries pushed yields higher earlier in the week. When Japanese yields rise it can affect markets around the world. Borrowing becomes more costly. This puts pressure on risk assets like stocks and digital assets. Earlier in the week Bitcoin fell to around 88000 before moving back near 90000. Over the last day it stayed mostly flat. This situation shows how closely global markets are linked. What happens in Japan can affect currencies bonds and even digital assets. Inflation data and central bank actions play a big role in shaping investor mood. When prices stay high and rates may rise people become more careful. For now the Bank of Japan is watching both price data and growth. Bitcoin traders are also watching these signals. If inflation stays firm and yields keep rising markets may remain slow. If prices cool and growth stays steady confidence could return. The coming weeks will be important. New data will guide future moves. Both traditional and digital markets will react. Many will be watching Japan as it plays a key role in the global system. #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #CryptoMarket #JapanEconomy #InflationUpdate
XPL Futures Activity Raises Concerns About Market Fairness
In the fast moving world of crypto trading things can change very quickly. A recent event around XPL futures has raised serious questions about fairness in low liquidity markets. XPL is the token linked to the Plasma project which has not yet launched its main network. Even so futures trading started early and many traders joined. Just days ago one very large trader entered the market with a huge amount of funds. This caused the XPL price to rise very fast in a short time. Many traders who were holding short positions were forced out of their trades. Some of them lost large amounts in minutes. After the price went up the large trader sold part of the position and made a big profit. Soon after that the price returned close to where it started. This event showed how risky it can be to trade futures for tokens that are not yet live. When a market has low trading volume it is easier for big players to move the price. Smaller traders often cannot react fast enough. This is why many people felt shocked by how fast everything happened. Some traders had expected the price to fall because the project had a large public sale. They believed that once the token is live there may be more supply. Because of this many people opened short positions. The sudden price rise pushed them out and caused losses. There were also rumors online about who might be behind the move. Some posts tried to link it to famous people. There is no clear proof of that and most of the claims are not real. It is important not to believe every post seen on social media. After the event trading activity slowed down. Many traders decided to step back. It became clear that these markets can change in seconds. Even skilled traders can be caught off guard. This situation is a reminder that open markets come with freedom but also with risk. There are no safety nets and no one can stop large players from acting. Some see this as part of the system while others feel it is unfair. Both views exist. For everyday users the main lesson is to be careful. Trading futures is not the same as holding a token. Prices can move far from what seems normal. When a token is not yet live the risks are even higher. If you are new to trading it is better to start small. Learn how markets work. Understand how leverage can increase both profit and loss. Never trade money you cannot afford to lose. Crypto is still growing and learning from events like this. Each time something like this happens it shows where systems can improve. Until then staying alert is the best protection. This article is for learning only. It is not advice. Always do your own research before making any decision. #Plasma @Plasma $XPL
Bitcoin Breakout Toward 107K and Key Crypto Updates
Bitcoin is showing strength after breaking out of a multi-week consolidation zone. Analysts are looking at a potential move toward 107000. The breakout comes after bitcoin cleared an ascending triangle pattern and successfully retested it as support. This pattern suggests upside potential. Technical indicators like the exponential moving averages on the daily chart are also turning bullish. At the same time long-term holders are selling less coins are moving off exchanges and global liquidity conditions are improving for bitcoin. The combination of these technical on-chain and macro signals points to a real breakout rather than a temporary move. Traders are likely to view dips as buying opportunities if prices hold above support levels. Sustaining prices above the previous consolidation zone and confirming bullish signals would indicate that bitcoin is entering a new higher trading range. Meanwhile the U.S. is working on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve but legal questions are slowing progress. Existing laws create uncertainty about which government agencies can hold or manage bitcoin. The current framework allows only coins obtained through seizures rather than open-market purchases. Officials are discussing ways to grow the reserve without affecting the budget. Industry observers warn that delays could allow other countries to build bitcoin reserves first which might reduce the influence of the U.S. in digital assets. Canton Network is gaining attention as a privacy-focused blockchain built for institutional and regulated finance. It allows multiple ledgers to work together while keeping transaction details private. Its smart contracts are designed for complex financial logic with control over who can see data. Canton uses a Global Synchronizer to allow transactions across different applications to happen atomically so that either all parts succeed or none do. The native token powers the network and aligns incentives for validators and participants. Canton is designed to meet the needs of banks and financial institutions while keeping privacy and compliance intact. Looking back at past crypto events the collapse of Terra LUNA and its stablecoin UST in 2022 provides important lessons. UST lost its dollar peg and LUNA crashed. The system depended entirely on market confidence and high yields that were not sustainable. The model created a feedback loop where selling of UST led to more LUNA being minted which caused price collapse. In a few days tens of billions of dollars were lost. The situation shows that high returns always carry high risk and that trust alone cannot replace strong system design. Crypto markets are volatile and sensitive to technical signals global liquidity and market confidence. Bitcoin’s recent breakout toward 107000 reflects a combination of strong technical setups accumulation by long-term holders and improving macro conditions. Institutional projects like Canton Network and lessons from past failures remind traders that careful analysis and risk management are essential. Following the market closely and understanding both technical patterns and broader events can help investors navigate these fast-moving markets. #bitcoin $BTC
Plasma XPL is a new blockchain project designed to change the way stablecoins work. It offers fast cheap and scalable transactions worldwide. Since its launch on September 25 2025 it has already attracted attention reaching two billion in locked stablecoins and a market cap of two and a half billion for its native token XPL in just three days. The project is supported by Tether and a team led by Paul Fax. Plasma aims to become the main infrastructure for stablecoin payments. Plasma is a Layer 1 blockchain focused only on stablecoins and payments. Unlike general blockchains that support many types of apps Plasma is built to handle transfers of stablecoins like USDT and XAUT quickly and cheaply. It does not rely on other chains and uses Bitcoin as an anchor for security. Its goal is simple to make stablecoin payments fast cheap and easy so they can be used worldwide even in places where access to dollars is limited. The network has several key features. First it offers zero fee transactions for verified users. This makes it ideal for small payments and everyday transfers. Second it is very fast using the PlasmaBFT consensus which allows transactions to complete in one to two seconds and the network can handle more than a thousand transactions per second. Third it works independently of other blockchains removing the need for bridges and lowering costs. Fourth it provides strong security using Bitcoin as anchor and light KYC to follow rules without losing privacy. Fifth it is compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine allowing developers to build apps easily while keeping payments as the main focus. Sixth Plasma plans Plasma One a neobank that will provide yield on idle stablecoins Visa debit cards with cashback and privacy focused transactions. Plasma solves problems that other blockchains face. Fees are often high on Ethereum and even on cheaper chains transactions can fail or be slow. Liquidity is often split across many chains making transfers more complex. Plasma creates a fast and simple network focused on payments. Its connection with Tether gives it access to liquidity and trust from institutional players. The success of its ICO and the price rise of XPL show strong demand and confidence from the market. The native token XPL is used for staking and network fees though users sending stablecoins do not pay gas because of the paymaster system. The total supply is ten billion tokens with a portion in the ICO and a slow decreasing inflation. Airdrops and community rewards have encouraged participation. There are risks. The link with Tether may raise questions about independence and the zero fee model can attract spam if not managed. Regulatory changes for stablecoins can also be a challenge. Still with strong support and focus on solving real problems Plasma has the potential to become the backbone of stablecoin payments. Its features make it fast cheap and secure. Whether you are an investor developer or user looking for low cost fast payments Plasma is a project to watch. It is designed to bring stablecoins into daily use from small payments in emerging markets to institutional transactions. #Plasma @Plasma $XPL
Crypto prices stabilized on Thursday as bitcoin stayed close to 90000 and ether moved back above 3000. The market had seen sharp swings earlier in the week that affected many major tokens. Traders were cautious as global financial conditions changed and sudden moves created stress in the system. The recovery in Japan's long term government bonds helped ease some pressure. Yields on these bonds had risen to multi decade highs earlier in the week which made borrowing more expensive around the world. That had created a difficult environment for risk assets like crypto. When bond yields rise investors often move money out of digital assets into safer investments. As Japan's bonds recovered and yields fell bitcoin and other coins found support. The stabilization did not mean that traders were ready to take new risks but it removed one of the main worries that had driven prices lower. The calm in the bond market allowed crypto prices to recover from steep losses and gave traders a chance to assess the market. Bitcoin moved back toward 90000 after dipping below 88000 earlier in the week. Ether returned above 3000. Other major tokens including solana XRP and cardano also steadied after losing value. The moves were gradual and showed that traders were not rushing to buy but were taking cautious steps to adjust positions. The situation highlighted how sensitive crypto markets are to global interest rates and borrowing costs. Japan's long term debt is important for global capital flows. When yields spike it affects borrowing costs worldwide and encourages investors to reduce exposure to risky assets. That can quickly push crypto prices lower. This week showed how leverage and speculative positions can make crypto volatile. When financial conditions tighten traders may be forced to sell to manage risk which amplifies price swings. When conditions ease prices can recover but the market remains fragile. Looking forward traders will watch bond markets and global interest rates closely. Any new surge in yields could again put pressure on bitcoin and other digital assets. The past week showed that crypto does not move in isolation. It reacts to wider economic signals and global financial conditions. For now the recovery in Japan's bonds has given crypto a temporary boost. Prices are stable but cautious sentiment remains. Traders are adjusting their positions and watching how the market responds to changes in borrowing costs. The situation reminds everyone that crypto is part of the broader financial system and global events can have a direct impact on price movements. Crypto remains a fast moving market where news and economic shifts can create big swings. Stability today does not guarantee calm tomorrow but the rebound shows that prices can recover when key pressures ease. #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #CryptoMarket
Crypto Liquidations Top 625 Million as Market Swings Hit Traders
Crypto markets faced a major shakeup in the past 24 hours as more than 625 million in leveraged positions were liquidated. The losses were split almost evenly between traders betting on prices going up and those betting on prices going down. Around 150000 traders were affected as sudden price moves forced positions to close automatically. The largest single liquidation happened on one platform with an ETH USD position worth over 40 million. This platform also saw the largest total hit at about 220 million. Most of these losses were from traders betting on price drops who were caught off guard when prices bounced back. In total about 306 million in long positions were wiped out while 319 million in short positions were liquidated. The balance shows how sharply prices moved in both directions during the day and how quickly traders had to react. The wave of liquidations followed big swings in bitcoin which briefly fell below 88000 before recovering toward 90000. The moves were driven by uncertainty around trade policy in the United States volatility in bond markets and attention on President Donald Trumps appearance at a global event. These factors made markets unpredictable and risky for anyone using high leverage. For traders using leverage the situation was tough. Initial drops forced long positions to close which made the decline worse. Then as prices bounced back short positions were forced to close creating a second wave of losses. This kind of fast up and down action is often called a whipsaw and it can hurt traders on both sides. Two way liquidation events happen when markets do not have a clear direction and prices move quickly. Traders who bet heavily on one side can be caught off guard when the trend reverses. In this case the mix of global news and leverage amplified every price move and made the market more dangerous. The past 24 hours show that even experienced traders need to be careful with leverage. Fast swings in bitcoin and other coins can wipe out positions in hours or even minutes. Watching global news and understanding the risks can help limit losses. Looking ahead traders will be watching to see if volatility calms or continues. Until the market shows a clearer direction using less leverage and taking smaller risks may be the wiser approach. Crypto remains a fast moving market where news and sentiment drive prices as much as the coins themselves. The recent liquidations remind everyone that markets can turn quickly and that caution is important. #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #altcoins

Bitcoin falls then recovers as global news moves the market
Bitcoin fell below 88000 during Asian trading hours before moving back close to 90000. The move came after Donald Trump spoke at a global event and changed his tone on trade plans linked to Greenland. His earlier words had scared markets. When he softened his message investors felt some relief and prices started to rise again. This sharp move showed how closely crypto still follows global news. Even though many people see bitcoin as a new kind of asset it still reacts fast when the world feels unsure. When fear rises prices fall. When calm returns prices try to recover. The past day was very rough for crypto markets. Bitcoin dropped hard as traders reacted to worries about trade problems rising bond yields and weak stock markets. Many investors moved their money into safer places and away from risky assets like crypto. Later the mood changed. Trump said he would not push new trade actions on European countries that did not agree with the Greenland issue. He said there was a chance for future talks. This helped markets relax. Stocks in the United States started to move up. Bond markets in Japan also showed signs of recovery. Gold stopped rising as fast. All of this helped bring some balance back. Bitcoin moved up again and reached close to 90000. Most of the losses from earlier in the day were erased. Still the market did not turn fully positive. The mood felt more stable but not excited. Other major coins followed the same path. They dropped during the fear wave and then slowly recovered when things calmed down. The moves were small which showed that people were not rushing back in. They were only testing the water. This kind of fast up and down movement is now common in crypto. Traders watch world news closely. Any big speech or policy hint can move prices within minutes. Many use short term trades and quick reactions. This makes the market very sensitive. Bond markets played a big role in this shift. Earlier in the week long term bonds in Japan fell hard and yields went to record levels. This made borrowing more costly and pushed money out of risky markets. When officials spoke and tried to calm the situation bond prices improved and yields went down. This helped risk assets like crypto feel less pressure. The event showed again that crypto is not separate from the world economy. It moves with global money flows and investor feelings. When people feel unsafe they sell. When they feel calm they buy again. Now traders are watching closely to see if bitcoin can stay near 90000. If global news stays quiet prices may move slowly. But if new headlines bring fear back then more swings could follow. For now the market is in a waiting phase. People are careful. They are watching bonds stocks and political news. The past two days proved that even one speech can change everything. Crypto remains a fast moving space where news matters as much as numbers. The rollercoaster may not be over yet. #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #CryptoMarket

BitGo has launched its public offering at a price of 18 dollars per share.
This values the company at around 2 billion dollars. It is now set to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the name BTGO. This marks the first crypto focused public listing of 2026. Many people see this as an important step for the digital asset industry. The timing of this listing comes during a hard period for the crypto market. Over the last months many crypto related companies have lost a lot of value. Token prices have gone down and investors are more careful than before. Because of this many people were unsure if a new public listing would succeed. Still BitGo decided to move forward. What makes BitGo different is its main business. It does not depend on fast trading or price swings. Instead it focuses on custody and staking services. Custody means safely holding digital assets for users and institutions. Staking means helping users earn rewards by supporting blockchain networks. These services bring steady income even when the market is slow. Analysts believe this is the main reason BitGo has a better chance to grow. They say the company has a stable income base. Most of its real money comes from long term services rather than short term trades. This makes its business easier to predict and easier to trust for long term investors. Experts estimate that BitGo could reach more than 400 million dollars in revenue by the year 2028. They also expect strong profit growth if the company continues on the same path. This is why some believe the current public price could be low if future goals are reached. At first the company numbers can seem confusing. Some trading actions must be shown in a way that makes revenue look higher than it truly is. But when these costs are removed the real picture becomes clearer. The heart of the company is still custody and staking. These areas bring in most of the real value. Right now the company earns about 160 to 170 million dollars each year from its core services. Trading adds only a small part. Other services like stable value tokens are still in early stages and are not a big part of income yet. Investors are now watching closely to see if BitGo can keep growing its main business. They want to know if it can attract more users and keep them for the long term. If the company can do this then it may become one of the most trusted names in digital asset safety. This public launch is also seen as a signal for the wider market. It shows that even in tough times companies can still move forward if they have a strong base. It also gives people a new way to invest in the digital asset space without focusing on price swings. In the end BitGo is not trying to chase hype. It is building a simple service that supports the system behind digital money. If it continues to grow step by step it may prove that steady work is more powerful than fast moves. #BitGo #CryptoNews #Blockchain #DigitalAssets #CryptoUpdate
In July two thousand twenty four a young Pacific walrus calf was found alone near Utqiagvik Alaska. She had no sign of her herd and was weak and tired. People nearby saw that she needed help and quickly contacted wildlife teams. The calf was later named Sassy by the care staff. Sassy was gently moved from the cold north coast to the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward. The journey was long and covered more than eight hundred miles. The team made sure she stayed calm and safe during the trip. When she arrived she was very small for her age and clearly needed care. At the center the animal team checked her health. She weighed about one hundred sixty five pounds. This was low for a walrus of her age. She was also dry and had a few small wounds on her skin. The team believed she had been alone for some time without enough food or water. They did not know how she became separated from her herd. The staff started feeding her special milk and gave her water through safe methods. They watched her closely day and night. At first she was tired and slow. After a few days she began to move more and show interest in her new space. Her eyes were bright and she often made soft sounds that showed she was feeling better. Sassy quickly became a favorite among the staff. Even while healing she showed a playful side. She would splash in the water and follow the keepers as they moved around her area. Her strong spirit helped everyone stay hopeful. The team created a daily care plan for her. This included feeding times rest time and gentle play. They also kept her warm and clean. Each day she gained more strength. Her weight slowly increased and her skin began to heal. The staff felt proud of her progress. People around the world heard about Sassy and sent kind messages. Many said her story gave them hope. It showed that even small lives matter and that care and love can make a big difference. The Alaska SeaLife Center is known for helping injured animals. They focus on giving each animal the best chance to recover. Their work is done with respect and care. Sassy is now part of this mission. No one knows what the future holds for her. The goal is to help her grow strong and healthy. If possible she may one day return to the wild. Until then she will stay safe and loved. Sassy story reminds us that nature needs our care. When we protect animals we protect the world we all share. #walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
