According to PANews, Arthur Hayes, founder of Maelstrom, has shared insights in his latest article titled "Suavemente." Hayes discusses the U.S. geopolitical actions involving the "arrest" of Venezuelan leader Maduro and the effective control over Venezuela's oil resources. He suggests these moves aim to lower oil prices and curb inflation, providing U.S. President Donald Trump with the opportunity for continued monetary and fiscal expansion, thereby maintaining voter support during the midterm elections. Hayes argues that in an environment characterized by "money printing stimulus and controlled energy prices," nominal GDP growth will drive up risk assets, particularly inflation-resistant assets like Bitcoin. He explicitly advises investing in Bitcoin and high-quality crypto assets, noting that Maelstrom is nearly fully invested until 2026. Hayes also expresses optimism about the privacy narrative sector, highlighting assets such as ZEC as potential leaders in the next market cycle.

According to BlockBeats, CryptoQuant analyst Axel has highlighted the current market conditions affecting short-term Bitcoin holders. These holders, defined as those who have held Bitcoin for less than 155 days, are experiencing suppressed selling pressure due to the lack of clear demand confirmation. The critical deterioration trigger is the sustained closing of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) below the zero axis, indicating a shift towards a distribution range. The average acquisition cost for short-term holders, known as the STH Realized Price, is currently above the trading price of Bitcoin, suggesting that these holders are in a loss position. This underwater status limits their potential for profit-taking, with the $100,000 level acting as a local resistance. Despite price pullbacks, the oscillator remains in an accumulation zone where selling pressure is subdued. If Bitcoin's price reaches $100,000 and short-term holders return to a break-even point, they may begin selling, creating price pressure. A key signal for market strengthening is when the price closes above the STH Realized Price, indicating a shift in market dynamics.

According to BlockBeats, a bug on the CoinMarketCap website led to incorrect valuations for meme coins BabyDoge and CHEEMS. The glitch resulted in BabyDoge's market capitalization being inaccurately calculated at $127.91 trillion, surpassing Bitcoin's market cap of $1.87 trillion, with a 24-hour increase mistakenly recorded at 100,549,628%. CHEEMS also experienced errors due to the bug, with its price incorrectly listed as $0.00103 instead of the actual $0.00000103. Its market capitalization was erroneously set at $194 billion, placing it above USDT and XRP, and briefly ranking it fourth in the crypto market. The 24-hour increase for CHEEMS was inaccurately recorded at 98,132%. The bug was swiftly corrected following feedback from the community.
