It seems that the frenzy to buy gold in Vietnam is becoming intense. Dozens of people are reportedly lining up in front of banks in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The Vietnamese central bank has started selling gold directly to state-owned banks, which is probably causing the rush.
What's interesting is the price movement. Vietnamese gold rose to $3,620 last month, but now it has fallen to $3,107. Since banks are selling at a 1.2% discount to the market price, everyone probably thinks this is a good buying opportunity. Amid rising geopolitical risks, there's a psychological tendency to want to pu

Have you heard of ATH? Officially, it stands for All Time High, pronounced “All Time High.” In the world of crypto assets, it’s a term you see all the time.
Simply put, it refers to the highest price an asset has reached from the past up to the present. For Bitcoin, the current ATH is $126.08K, but reaching that number means the bullish momentum across the entire market and investors’ expectations have been building over time.
What’s interesting is the process of reaching an ATH. First comes the “action phase,” when the price breaks through a resistance level and trading volume increases. Then

Talking about the ISO 20022 financial messaging standard, I've been hearing about it more and more lately, but actually, it's a pretty important topic in the world of cryptocurrencies too.
Cryptocurrencies that comply with this standard announced by SWIFT are actually limited, and Bitcoin and Ethereum are not compatible. But if you think about it, these two were created in 2009 and 2015 respectively, so they existed long before the standard was announced. On the other hand, Ripple's XRP was created in 2012 and later introduced changes to support ISO 20022. That decision was made because Ripple

Recently, some news caught my attention, and it seems Elon Musk is seriously advancing Tesla's tiny house project. The basic price of $7,999 feels like a very aggressive pricing strategy.
What’s interesting is that this is not just a small house; it’s designed to be completely energy self-sufficient. It comes standard with Tesla’s solar panels and Powerwall (energy storage system), allowing it to operate independently of the public power grid. Additionally, it even includes a rainwater collection system. In other words, Elon Musk’s house concept is not just a residence but a fully autonomous e

Recently, I’ve noticed that quite interesting discussions are taking place among major players in the cryptocurrency industry about what they think. In particular, attention is being drawn to the point that the entry of institutional investors is changing conventional wisdom about market cycles.
According to leaders who run major industry exchanges, user protection and maintaining a low-cost operating model are the sources of long-term competitiveness. In fact, when you hear about companies that have protected their market share through global expansion and trust-building—even in an era of reg

It seems that Chainlink whales and sharks have recently been increasing their positions. They reportedly bought over 32.93 million tokens in the past month, resulting in approximately a 7.7% increase in holdings. Just since the beginning of last month, Chainlink's price has also risen by about 17%, so the timing aligns.
When large players actively buy, it often serves as a signal that the market is about to rise. In fact, when whales of major projects like Chainlink move, it often influences subsequent price movements. So far, this activity is seen as a bullish indicator.
Of course, the market

Recently, I feel that the market outlook has changed significantly. What I am particularly paying attention to is how much innovation assets are being excessively sold off. Honestly, the current environment is much better than during the dot-com bubble era. Back then, it was extremely frenzied.
I remember the time when Bitcoin was $250 in 2015. Its market cap at that time was only $6 billion. Now, it has become part of institutional investors' portfolios. This change is truly fascinating. Initially ridiculed, now even mega-banks like BlackRock are promoting a vision of "tokenizing everything."

In the world of Bitcoin investment, what has been quite a hot topic recently is the case of American Bitcoin involving Mr. Eric Trump. According to Forbes, this company was promoted as a "money-making machine," but in reality, it was a arbitrage trading tool that cleverly exploited the investor psychology of MAGA supporters.
The mechanism was to attract investors with exaggerated advertising, leverage the Trump brand premium to inflate stock prices, and then cash out. Meanwhile, ordinary investors suffered significant losses. Since its IPO in September, the company has sold about 158 million s

I noticed an interesting background about Aya Miyaguchi, a recently discussed figure in the Ethereum community.
Starting her career as a high school teacher, she has a unique career path. In 2011, she encountered Bitcoin and was captivated by its social potential. Afterwards, she transitioned into the crypto industry and contributed to establishing Japan’s regulatory framework. In 2018, she was invited by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin to become the Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation.
What’s noteworthy is Aya Miyaguchi’s vision called “The Infinite Garden.” She views Ethereum not

Institutional investors' movements are about to significantly change the Bitcoin market. According to the latest analysis by Ark Invest, if demand from institutional investors accelerates, Bitcoin's market capitalization could reach $16 trillion by 2030.
This is not just a bullish forecast but suggests how much room there is for institutional money to flow into digital assets. Compared to Bitcoin's current market cap, its growth potential is quite substantial.
Interestingly, this prediction assumes an increase in demand from institutional investors. In other words, not only individual investor

Right after Mr. Musk announced the new features of X Payments, an interesting reaction was seen in the market. This new payment service, X Money, will be rolled out in more than 40 U.S. states starting next month, and at the moment the announcement was made, Dogecoin temporarily surged.
However, this is the important point. X Money is actually a pure fiat payment product. It offers features such as peer-to-peer transfers, linking bank accounts, debit cards, and cashback rewards, but it’s not a cryptocurrency wallet—it’s closer to a social-media-linked fintech app like Venmo. So why did DOGE re

If you have friends involved in cryptocurrencies, you've probably heard the term "mnemonic phrase." It's the 12-word backup you create when setting up a wallet. At that time, you're told not to take screenshots, to do it in a place where no one else is around, and to follow strict instructions. But honestly, just being told "it's important" often leads most people to forget after a few days. That's why it's necessary to understand why mnemonic phrases are so crucial and the background behind their importance.
In fact, a mnemonic phrase holds nearly the same level of importance as a private key

Whenever the subject comes up about Elon Musk’s spouse history, it’s always discussed. He’s repeated the cycle of getting married and divorced multiple times, but it’s interesting how a new woman shows up every time. It started with his first marriage during his time in Canada, and he’s married a few more times after that, but it seems like things never work out each time. Apparently, things were especially difficult during the era when he was developing Tesla; I heard that he was even in a situation where he’d borrowed money for meals. And still, it’s amazing that there are always women aroun

Spot trading, simply put, is buying and selling assets at this very moment and receiving them immediately. All financial products, including cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange, stocks, and bonds, are traded on the spot market.
For those investing in digital assets for the first time, it usually starts with spot trading. For example, buying Bitcoin at the current price and holding it long-term, or something of that sort. Because it’s straightforward, it’s suitable for beginners.
The spot market is open to the public, where buyers and sellers exchange assets in real-time. Purchases are made usin

I've been following Chris Larsen's movements closely, and this person is truly a key figure in the cryptocurrency industry. As the Executive Chairman and co-founder of Ripple, it's really fascinating how he's leading the evolution of blockchain finance.
He co-founded E-Loan in 1996, and later in 2012, he also launched Prosper Marketplace. Just looking at his entrepreneurial career alone shows impressive achievements, but what Chris Larsen is really focusing on is his work with Ripple. The company that started as OpenCoin in 2013 is now trying to reshape the landscape of the financial industry.

I recently looked at CryptoQuant's analysis, and it suggests that the fair value of Bitcoin is between $48,000 and $95,000. They point out that there is a significant deviation from the current market price.
Looking into it further, I notice that the activity index on the Bitcoin network has declined. It has dropped 15% from its peak in November, reaching its lowest level in over a year. This is also correlated with actual trading volume, which has decreased from 734,000 transactions in September to 346,000, a 53% drop.
With network activity weakening, we need to keep an eye on how prices will

If you're new to cryptocurrencies, you've probably come across the words APY and APR somewhere. But in reality, many people don't quite understand what the difference is between these two, or why it's so important to pay attention to them.
So this time, I want to clarify these two concepts properly. Especially if you're aiming for profits through DeFi or staking, understanding what APR and APY are can significantly influence your actual earnings.
First, about APR. APR refers to the annual percentage rate, which is a simple interest rate that doesn't consider compounding. For example, with an A

It seems that Tesla's tiny house project has finally appeared on the market. The autonomous home announced by Elon Musk is honestly a very interesting initiative.
The basic concept is a compact building that is small and self-sufficient in energy. Several sizes are available, ranging from 26 square meters to 76 square meters, all designed to withstand harsh natural conditions.
Tesla's solar panels and Powerwall are installed, allowing it to operate completely independently using only renewable energy. It also has a rainwater collection system, making a lifestyle that doesn't rely on external i

I find the Cashtags feature that X recently started is pretty interesting. Just by tapping the ticker, real-time prices for Bitcoin or stocks show up, and it seems you can trade right from there as well. It feels like an environment is coming together where you can look at news and information about crypto assets and buy and sell immediately.
It seems that in Canada, it’s integrated with Wealthsimple, so you can jump directly to the investment app. There hasn’t been a rollout in Japan or other countries yet, but maybe integrating financial tools like this is becoming a trend. X Money, a remitt

The movements of Shiba Inu (SHIB) are becoming interesting. It feels like the next step for the Shibarium network is coming into view.
According to recent announcements, Shiba Inu is planning two major upgrades. The first is enhanced privacy using Zama's fully homomorphic encryption technology, which is expected to be implemented on Shibarium before the second quarter of 2026. This will enable encrypted smart contracts and proper protection of confidential information on the blockchain.
The second is a collaboration with TokenPlay. Through an AI gaming partnership, they aim to expand the use c
