1. The market is sluggish and the narrative is hopeless. Where is the spiritual pillar of Crypto?
Since BTC fell below $80,000 a week ago, the entire Crypto market has fallen into a slump. This slump is not only due to the market itself, but also because the entire industry seems to have fallen into an endless "void". Since Agent and Desci were shut down at the beginning of the year, the market seems to have no new narratives. In fact, there has been nothing hot that can excite people in the past three months - except for the "falling" copycats. 2.

5. New changes in the global financial order: US strategic bitcoin reserves
We look at this from the perspective of the US government. The purpose of the US establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve is to strengthen and consolidate the US's dominant position in the global financial system. The executive order makes it clear: "The U.S. government currently holds a large amount of BTC, but has not yet formulated relevant policies to leverage the strategic value of these BTC in the global financial system.
