Have you heard of ATH? It's a term that frequently appears in trading, but in reality, many people don't understand it correctly.
ATH (All Time High) is pronounced "All Time High," and it refers to the highest price a cryptocurrency has reached from the past to the present. Simply put, it's the all-time peak value of that asset. Bitcoin has recently updated its ATH, and the current record high is around $126,000.
Reaching this ATH means more than just a number on a chart. It's the moment that excites investors and traders, and the market sentiment is at its most bullish. But this is where dang

I saw Gary Gensler's tweet. It seems like he's saying goodbye after serving as SEC Chair for four years. He posted a message with a video, and you can really feel his sincerity.
What Gary Gensler emphasized was that he updated regulations for the stock market and government bond market during his tenure. He also apparently shortened the settlement cycle. These kinds of modest but important reforms don't usually get much attention.
He also mentioned that more than $2.7 billion was returned to investors. That means that during Gary Gensler's term, that amount was recovered. It was probably part

I really thought again that Elon Musk truly loves cryptocurrencies.
It seems he views cryptocurrencies as a hedge against centralized control, and he actually allows payments in Dogecoin and Bitcoin at Tesla.
The most famous crypto asset Musk owns is definitely Dogecoin.
He even says he holds a "herd of Dogecoin," and he seems to like the casual, unserious vibe of this project.
There’s talk that DOGE could be used for Tesla vehicle payments, and I laughed when I heard that SpaceX is paying for satellite projects with meme coins.
Also, it’s said that Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings are worth

There are two top traders who stand out in Japan's trading world. One is BNF, known as the god of the markets, and the other is Takashi Kotegawa. They have been long-time friends and share similar backgrounds. They have been involved in trading since university, starting with modest capital, and have now grown into traders managing billions of yen.
These two became famous overnight due to the J-COM misorder incident. That day, Takashi Kotegawa earned 600 million yen, and BNF was even more impressive. He made 2 billion yen in just 10 minutes. This incident marked a turning point that brought th

A “future person” named Rei Kokubun—who claims to have come from the year 2058—is once again making headlines. Online, he’s being called “Japan’s strongest future person,” and it seems his past prophecies have apparently come true in many ways, which is apparently why his followers are growing. There are parts where his predictions actually match reality, such as the number of gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, the Nikkei average crash in 2020, and the timing of former Prime Minister Abe’s resignation.
Rei Kokubun says he was born in 2034 and that he was at the Faculty of Engineering, Departme

The movement of RAVE is quite interesting. It surged significantly yesterday, but now it has fallen to $1.07. That's about a 9.75% decrease over 24 hours. The trading volume is around $154.45K, and the market capitalization has settled at $245.96M.
Looking at the background of this fluctuation, it seems there was a considerable amount of short position liquidations in the derivatives market. In the short term, there was upward pressure, but since this is still in the early price discovery phase, volatility tends to be high. Support and resistance levels are still not well established.

Recently, I have been frequently reminded of the relationship between CPI data and Bitcoin price movements. Even though inflation seems to be calming down, why is BTC so unstable? I delved into this question.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) certainly marks a major turning point in the market. It is a crucial indicator that influences the direction of monetary policy. Over the past few months, observing Bitcoin's movements after CPI releases reveals a certain pattern. Even when inflationary pressures ease, the reason BTC remains unstable cannot be explained solely by macroeconomic factors; there is

What are altcoins? We may need to reconsider their significance.
They are a collective term for cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin, known as alternative coins, but they have now become an indispensable part of the overall market.
Since the birth of Bitcoin in 2009, thousands of altcoins have emerged.
They are not just imitations of Bitcoin; each aims to solve different challenges.
Ethereum’s smart contracts, Ripple’s international remittances, Litecoin’s fast processing, Cardano’s environmentally friendly design—these are all experiments in the diverse world of altcoins.
Looking at

Last week, the strategy apparently invested over $200 million to purchase more than 3,000 Bitcoin.
Since the average purchase price was around $67,700 per coin, it was likely a strategic buy during a moment when the market was a bit calmer.
Currently, this company's Bitcoin holdings exceed 720k coins.
The total investment amount is over $50 billion, with an average acquisition price of $75,985.
The fact that such a large player is making moves like this also influences market sentiment from the perspective of BTC dominance.
Recently, Bitcoin's price has risen to around $77,800, so th

The SEC has taken action. Chairman Paul Atkins announced a new regulatory framework at the Cryptocurrency Summit, which is quite a realistic approach.
The first thing that caught my attention is that this safe harbor concept reflects recent legislative developments. In particular, the influence of the CLARITY Act is evident, making it not just an idealistic notion but something that seems practically implementable.
Looking at the contents of the framework, three exemption pathways are provided. First is for startups, with a maximum of a four-year buffer period during which they can raise up to

I heard that Tether participated in a major funding round related to SDVC, and it seems to be around $134 million. Investments related to stablecoins have been increasing lately.
SDVC apparently is building a stakeholding platform on the chain, basically trying to expand practical uses of stablecoins such as payments, remittances, and cross-platform fund transfers. Including applications in DeFi, they seem to be aiming to build an ecosystem that is user-friendly.
Since frameworks like Framework Ventures are also investing together, it indicates a pretty serious commitment. They mention providi

Major Wall Street banks are doing some incredible things. What we see from the latest reports is that in the first quarter of 2026, major U.S. banks spent a record $33 billion on share buybacks. This is far above market expectations.
JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup have each carried out their largest buybacks ever. Bank of America and Morgan Stanley also reached multi-year highs. Senior analyst at Oppenheimer, Chris Kotowski, points out that the actual buyback amounts for each bank exceeded model predictions by 30 to 50 percent. In other words, banks are actively returning more capital

Recently, I think the moves of the big real estate investor Grant Cardone are interesting. He announced that his Cardone Capital plans to tokenize a real estate portfolio worth $5 billion.
What’s notable is why this timing is happening. Grant Cardone has been paying attention to Bitcoin for a while, and in June he purchased 1,000 coins. He also plans to buy more in the future. In other words, he’s not just a real estate businessman; he’s seriously considering asset management in the blockchain era.
Tokenization will allow investors to gain collateral and liquidity in the secondary market. This

March 5th, it seems that the holdings of SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold ETF, decreased by 18 tons compared to the previous day. This is said to be the largest single-day reduction since April 2013. The holdings appear to have dropped to around 1,081 tons.
Such large fluctuations are also being discussed on social platforms like Farcaster, but the movement in the gold market is surprisingly being watched. A decrease of 18 tons in a single day is a significant amount, so there might be some background or activity from institutional investors.
Whether the outflow trend from gold ETFs c

An interesting debate broke out in the Bitcoin community. The former CEO of MtGox posted a hard fork proposal on GitHub to move about 80,000 BTC that had been frozen for 15 years—but it was quickly rejected.
As background, the BTC that has remained in that address since 2011 is worth roughly $5 billion at current prices. The proposal was fairly straightforward: a single rule change to replace the public key hash during transaction verification from the stolen address. This was supposed to allow the trustee of a failed exchange to spend the coins.
But the community’s reaction was ruthless. Mult

When Bitcoin rose to around $70k, institutional investors started to become more active. Just BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw inflows of $70k, the largest in five months. Overall, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced inflows of $458 million, indicating that institutions are entering quite aggressively.
MicroStrategy is also active. They invested an additional $200 million to buy 3,015 more Bitcoins, bringing their total holdings to over 720k Bitcoins. The fact that major players like MicroStrategy are increasing their purchases suggests they likely see the current price as a bottom. Last week, inf

Meta is moving back into the stablecoin market. Learning from the failure of the Libra project seven years ago, this time they seem to be taking a different approach than before.
According to multiple sources, Meta aims to introduce stablecoin payments by the second half of 2026. However, what’s notable is that Meta will not issue the stablecoins directly but will instead utilize third-party companies. Backed by a user base of 3 billion people, Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, is aiming to rebuild the payment infrastructure.
Meta has already sent requests for proposals (RFPs) to several suppliers

Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a major shift happening at the intersection of cryptocurrencies and AI. I honestly didn’t expect Stripe to be so serious about betting on the machine economy.
In short, we are entering an era where AI agents are not just tools but operate as independent economic entities. It’s a world where software automatically executes payments at speeds and scales that traditional payment methods cannot handle. Stripe is building the payment infrastructure centered around USDC to make this a reality.
Why USDC? Stablecoins are programmable 24/7/365 and borderless. A ma

As Bitcoin trades around the $78,000 range, it seems the entire cryptocurrency market has entered a correction phase. Looking at today’s market, BTC is down 0.48% over the past 24 hours, and Ethereum is down 1.86%, trading at $2.31K. It’s no surprise that the question “why is crypto dropping today” comes up so often.
When you look at the technical charts, Bitcoin’s resistance in the $70,000 range remains strong. The RSI indicator is around 46, meaning it hasn’t fully recovered yet from being oversold. Ethereum is in a similar situation: it has repeatedly tested the area around $2,000 but hasn’

Last month, the failure the Korean government pulled off was truly shocking. In a press release they published to publicize the seizure of assets from tax evaders, the confiscated wallet’s seed phrase was completely visible. They basically posted a handwritten image of the seed phrase as-is.
This is not a story you can laugh about, though. Within a few hours after the release, blockchain observers noticed that funds related to the recovery key were moving. It’s reported that roughly $5 million worth of digital assets were ultimately withdrawn. It’s on a scale that doesn’t seem like something a
