Crypto KOL Community & Market Trends

Many people treat AI as a chat tool, but in the context of the Tron ecosystem's strategic layout, the greater value of AI may lie in reconstructing the underlying infrastructure of on-chain finance.
This time, through a strategic partnership with Folks Mobile, in my view, this is another practical implementation of AI + payments + DeFi within the TRON ecosystem.

The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is officially on the table.

The current Bitcoin and Ethereum market is really hard to play.
In the short term, it keeps shaking and fluctuating.
Eating it is tasteless, but abandoning it isn’t a pity.
Continue the Delta game.

Big day for crypto today.
The US Senate Banking Committee is set to vote on the crypto market structure bill at 10:30 AM ET, and this could be one of the biggest regulatory moments the industry has seen in years.
For a long time, crypto has been stuck in uncertainty. Projects didn’t know the rules. Builders kept waiting. Institutions stayed cautious.
That’s why this vote matters.
A clear market structure bill could finally define how digital assets are regulated in the US, bring more confidence to investors, and open the door for serious institutional capital.
If this moves forward, it could be a major win for Bitcoin, altcoins, exchanges, and the entire crypto ecosystem.
This feels like one of those moments people look back on and say everything started changing here.
Eyes on 10:30 AM ET. The market will be watching closely.

Yesterday, Charles Schwab, the wealth manager that manages $12 trillion, finally opened Bitcoin trading to retail investors.

The group erupted in cheers: “Traditional finance has surrendered!” “The bull market engine is fired up!”

I was also quite excited at first—until I looked closely at a few words in that news: “operated separately from users’ existing brokerage accounts.”

In an instant, half the chill ran through me.

You think it’s a “full kit,” but it’s actually a “quarantine ward.”

Your stocks are for the “respectable,” but your Bitcoin is for “suspected criminals”—not allowed to live together.

Independent custody? No, this is called “quarantine treatment.”

Charles Schwab’s announcement was worded very nicely: “Crypto asset accounts are independently custodied by Charles Schwab Premier Bank, and operated separately from users’ existing brokerage accounts.”

Sounds safe, right?

Think about it another way: why do they have to be “separated” in the first place?

Because in their eyes, crypto assets are still that dirty thing—“high risk, opaque, and capable of blowing up at any moment.” If they put it in the main account, they’re afraid it will “contaminate” the “high-quality client assets” they’ve carefully cultivated over decades.

In other words—

They welcome your money, but they don’t welcome your beliefs.

They take your fees, but they lock your Bitcoin in a small black room.

With a 0.75% fee rate already being pricey enough, you also have to endure this kind of “second-class citizen” treatment.

Many people only see the astronomical figure of “$12 trillion” and imagine that even if 1% comes in, it would be $120 billion in buy orders.

Wake up.

Even if that $120 billion really does come in, it won’t make your Bitcoin “go mainstream.” They’ll only lock it inside that “separate account,” watched like rare animals in a zoo—“Look, that famous volatility monster is in the cage; it’s very safe.”

Even more painful is: why don’t New York and Louisiana temporarily offer this service?

Because the regulation in those two states is the strictest. If Charles Schwab can’t even get the state-level licenses in its own home base, what does that say? It shows they don’t have confidence even in themselves.

The so-called “phased rollout,” the so-called “subsequent expansion of assets”—it’s nothing more than testing the limits of regulation, while also taking a cut from a wave of anxious retail investors who want both safety and Bitcoin. #Gate广场五月交易分享 #美国4月PPI同比暴涨6% $BTC $ETH

Recently, some funds have been put into Gate's USDG for earning interest by holding the coin.
Previously, funds in spot accounts were almost useless; now, they can earn passive income daily, with an annualized rate of 5%, which is not low.
This time, you can earn rewards directly without activating any additional features, making it very friendly for those who don't want to spend too much time researching.

Tomorrow, May 15, 2026.

Washington will see two developments—technical changes in sound, but far harsher than any black swan:

First: a “Vosh” sits into the Federal Reserve chair’s office, and Powell leaves.

Second: Congress formally reviews an amendment—

Cut the Fed’s “dual mandate” of more than 40 years down to a “single mandate.”

What is the dual mandate?

Control inflation + secure employment.

What is the single mandate?

Only: control inflation.

Many people are still discussing this “Vosh”:

“He used to study law, served as a Fed governor, and is known for criticizing easing…”

Stop.

The truly terrifying part isn’t this Vosh’s personality—it’s lawmakers turning his personality into law.

Historically, no matter how hawkish the Fed chair was, when hit with a recession, a stock market crash, and a surge in unemployment, they could always pull out the reason of “protecting jobs” and cut rates in an orderly fashion.

This is an institutional soft constraint—there’s always a way to ease up.

Now that route has been physically dismantled.

“When employment data turns bad, the Fed will soften.”

“It can’t stay hardline forever before the midterm elections.”

“At worst, it drops into Q4—eventually they’ll loosen.”

These logics are all built on the old version of the Fed.

So what is the new version of the Fed?

A single-goal machine with no employment worries, no political swings (in the short term), and no historical baggage.

You’re still using “Powell-style thinking” to calculate Vosh’s probability of rate cuts—like trying to charge an iPhone 20 with the charging cable for an iPhone 4. The interfaces don’t even match.

So when will rate cuts happen?

Based on Vosh’s own stated public position + the new legislative direction + current inflation data:

As long as core PCE doesn’t return to below 2.2% and hold it there for 3 months, even the smallest crack in the door for rate cuts won’t open.

Not the 3.5%, 3.0% that the market expects—nor even 2.8%.

It will only truly return to around 2%.

Given the stickiness of service inflation, the timeline could be—

No chance in 2026—maybe luck in 2027.

That means:

A recession with a surge in unemployment → no rate cuts

US stocks fall 20% → no rate cuts

The crypto market is cut in half → no rate cuts

Unless inflation concedes defeat.

US stocks are still propping up at high levels, and BTC is still fantasizing about a “macro dovish shift.”

Once the market realizes—this isn’t Powell wavering; it’s the replacement of the entire underlying logic of the Fed—that’s when the real pain starts.#Gate广场五月交易分享 #美国4月PPI同比暴涨6% $BTC $ETH

Brothers, let's go all in

Keep mutual following, don’t give up just because of outside comments.

rsETH cross-chain functionality has been restored, and the channels between the mainnet and various L2s are reopened. Previously affected cross-chain operations can now be used again. Kelp also stated that the rsETH contract will resume withdrawals within the next 24 hours, and deposit functions will be reopened simultaneously. Staking rewards paused during the downtime will also be retroactively issued to holders. The rsETH-related issues are gradually returning to normal. #rsETH #Aave

The list for this AI Sprint has finally been announced. From 196 projects, it whittled down to the final 5, with Build4 taking first place, and Clawdyland, elizaOK, and others also making a push.
But to be honest, I'm no longer focused on who ranks where.
What you can clearly feel now is that the group gathered here isn't just about launching meme coins anymore.

The calm before the storm often comes when the most people die.

Brothers, don’t be fooled by the boring, choppy K-line movement of these days.

This week is the crypto world’s real “Super Judgment Week.”

No joke—5 major things, all detonating at the same time. Pick any one of them on its own, and it could make the market shudder. Now they’re all crammed into these few days.

Let me lay it out for you:

1️⃣ Inflation data beats expectations on both fronts — prices in the U.S. still can’t be contained, and the ghost of rate hikes is hovering overhead.

2️⃣ A change in Federal Reserve leadership + the policy framework turns over — Powell’s show is about to swap cast; the new officials are taking office, and the first round could burn your positions.

3️⃣ Crypto regulatory legislation vote — SEC means business this time. Is it giving people a way out, or directly putting a chokehold on the market?

4️⃣ Trade summit tariff negotiation — big countries are flexing their muscles; the market is the first to get hit.

5️⃣ The AI industry’s century trial comes to an end — don’t think AI has nothing to do with you. If AI breaks down, tech stocks break down; tech stocks break down; all risk assets break down—can BTC survive alone?

These five things are like five blades hanging over our heads.

Now, the most critical question comes—

If all five blades swing in the same direction—say, all of them turn bearish—what happens?

A perfect storm.

Not a pullback, not a needle-like dip— but a short-term, high-intensity chain reaction of stampedes. Long positions will fall like dominoes, one after another, until you start to doubt your very life.

But what if they cancel each other out in opposite directions?

For example, inflation is bearish but the Federal Reserve gives in and stays accommodative, or regulation leans tight but tariff negotiations ease.

Then the market won’t collapse. Instead, it will chop sideways, digesting the moves—using time to create space. Then once the next wave of a clear narrative comes out, it will choose a direction.

The final outcome for this week is likely this: the directions cancel each other out, and BTC 70–80k keeps grinding you down.

But you need to hear this clearly—

Mutual cancellation doesn’t mean calm seas.

The process in the middle will keep slapping your face like a roller coaster: first it lifts the market to make you think the bull is back, then it punches through support and forces you to cut losses— and finally it closes flat. And your positions in your hand are gone.

This is the truth of “sideways digestion”: the market didn’t die—your position did.#Gate广场五月交易分享 #美国4月PPI同比暴涨6% $BTC $ETH $SOL

Today’s Web4 information gap:
1. PPI soars, signaling a rate cut! $BTC → $78,754, $ETH → $2,234, $BNB → $663, $SOL → $90
2. Did the CLARITY bill pass or not? It’s now in the final revisions. Democrats really have a lot of issues, submitting 100 amendments at once.
3. Cisco $CSCO surged 22% after hours! Earnings beat expectations, revenue of $15.8 billion, up 12% year-over-year, switch, router, and optical module orders +40%, all thanks to AI.
4. Claude’s new trick, finding private keys! A guy stored 5 bitcoins 11 years ago, then got high and changed his password, forgot it, but Claude searched through hundreds of old backups on his old computer and actually found it!
5. Elon Musk’s Ultraman court hearing revealed a big scoop: Microsoft’s total investment in OpenAI actually exceeded $100 billion, far higher than the previous $13 billion @MSFT

@qxgy88 @RiverdotInc After reading the entire article, I feel even more that projects with real long-term value are quietly building infrastructure, and River's step in completing the ecosystem loop is very solid.
