Is TVL Still a Valid Metric for Success? 📉
In DeFi, we always hear about Total Value Locked (TVL). It’s often used to show how "big" a project is. But is it the only thing that matters? Not necessarily.
What to look for besides just TVL:
Volume-to-TVL Ratio: A protocol might have $1B in TVL, but if nobody is actually using it to trade, it’s just "lazy" capital.
Number of Active Users: Real growth comes from real people using the platform daily, not just a few whales parking their money.
Sustainability of Yield: Where is the reward coming from? If it’s just printing new tokens, it might not la

Summary of the core logic for shorting TON
1. **Good news is already priced in:** The Telegram takeover, fee reductions, broad ecosystem rallies, and other positives have been fully digested by a **30%** rise over the past **24 hours**. After that, there’s no new narrative—only profit-taking selling pressure.
2. **High-risk leverage:** Long positions are concentrated at high levels with high leverage. Any pullback will trigger a chain liquidation cascade, turning it into a momentum accelerator for short-side declines.
3. **Centralization risk:** Deeply tied to **Duro**; there has been a histor

$ETH Ethereum is weakening relative to Bitcoin, the core reason being: current market funds are highly concentrated in Bitcoin, and Ethereum is facing a 4-hour trend support level at 2320-2330. If this level is broken, the daily bullish structure will be destroyed.
But conversely, as long as 2320 can hold, Ethereum has a clear demand for a rebound, and historical data shows that May is a strong month for Ethereum, while the current price is significantly lagging behind Bitcoin's gains.
Therefore, in terms of trading, around 2320 is the bottom line for the bulls; a pullback confirmation ca

Bitcoin Net Position Reversal Hints at Cycle Shift!
$BTC 's Net Position Change has turned positive after an unprecedented stretch of negative pressure, a signal rarely seen at this scale. In past cycles, similar flips in 2019 and 2023 didn't happen mid-trend, they marked the transition from exhaustion to re-accumulation. This shift suggests the market has absorbed aggressive selling, and positioning is quietly rotating back to accumulation mode while most participants remain uncertain.

XRP Holds Support While Struggling at Resistance
XRP is having trouble getting past certain price levels, even though it's holding steady at others. The price of Ripple (XRP) isn't moving much right now, and the market seems to be pulled in different directions. It's getting close to a key resistance area near 1.40, but there's no clear sign of where it's headed next.
When we look at the data directly from the blockchain, things appear to be leaning a bit positive. Information from CryptoQuant suggests a neutral or slightly optimistic view. While there's less activity in the immediate buying a

$DOGS Trading opportunity, this is direct money in!!
Brothers, the daily bottom has finally broken through, this position is the chance to make money!
Look at this data: market cap is only 30 million, but the liquidity rate has reached 93%!

Based on the current trading volume, market makers will definitely leverage high liquidity to push prices up and unload.
Brother Shu suggests going long at the current price; if you lose, come to me for reimbursement, follow the

Currently, the average holding price for major institutions in ETH is between 2200-2800, and we can use institutional holdings as a reference.
Currently, the news is quite chaotic, and in the short term, the trends of the two giants, BTC and ETH, are rather mixed, commonly known as jumping up and down.
Short-term contracts are not to be referenced.

Trump's claim that "the U.S. holds 300k BTC and will not sell"
Recently, a piece of news about Donald Trump has been widely circulated in the crypto market—"The U.S. government holds about 300k Bitcoins and will not sell." This statement quickly sparked market discussion, with many investors even interpreting it as an important signal that Bitcoin has entered a "state endorsement era."
But if we analyze the source of the information and the policy background, this claim is not entirely accurate.
1. Source of the message: Not from Trump himself
First, it needs to be clarified th

Why Layer 2s are the Real Backbone of Web3 🏗️
A few years ago, high gas fees were the biggest barrier for retail investors. Today, thanks to Layer 2 (L2) solutions like Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, the game has completely changed. We can finally interact with the blockchain without breaking the bank.
Why L2s are winning the race:
Speed & Efficiency: Transactions that used to take minutes now happen in seconds.
Low Cost: You can swap, mint, and bridge for just a few cents. This allows for "micro-activities" that were impossible before.
Security: They inherit the security of the Ethereum mainn
