Combined, they total $2.16 billion, accounting for a

Don't use a civil servant's provident fund balance to judge who has won at life's starting line
Many people come across screenshots of provident fund contributions and, upon seeing monthly contributions of over 5,000, immediately claim that this level beats 90% of ordinary people. In fact, that conclusion does not stand up to closer scrutiny.
A provident fund is merely a housing benefit. It is not the same as take-home cash, let alone proof of having won at investing. First, understand the math: with a contribution base of 23,591 and both the employer and employee contributing 12%, the combine

After XRP touched a low of 1.3865, a potential short-term mean-reversion trading opportunity emerged, supported by a bullish divergence in the 15-minute RSI. The 1-hour RSI(12) is 31.08, indicating that the asset is severely oversold and could rebound in the short term to the MA7 resistance level at 1.4103. Go long now $XR .

One of the biggest headaches with crypto assets is that on-chain records are too easy to leave behind.
The UK is now discussing expanding tax authorities’ access to crypto users’ information. I think what is truly worth watching is the link between personal identities and wallet addresses.
If tax authorities can directly obtain customer information from more crypto service providers in the future, the issue will go beyond whether transactions need to be reported.
Bitcoin addresses themselves are public. Once names, addresses, tax identities, and wallet addresses are linked, transfers, changes

Kondratiev Wave: Understanding the Century-Long Wealth Wave
Investors have heard of the Kondratiev Wave to some extent. Simply put, it is an ultra-long economic cycle lasting five or six decades. Each cycle goes through prosperity, recession, depression, and recovery in sequence, with the rise and fall of great powers and industrial revolutions all hidden within this curve.
Looking at the chart, the first five Kondratiev Waves are clear. In the first and second waves, the dominant country was Britain, which firmly took its place at the top of the world through the two Industrial Revolutions.

The Fed Pauses Rate Hikes—Can the Crypto Market Finally Breathe a Sigh of Relief?
The toughest part of this market cycle is that expectations for an October rate hike have fallen, yet the market has not relaxed. The Fed already raised rates by 25 basis points in September, bringing the rate to 3.75%–4%. The latest minutes show that most officials still believe another rate hike this year may be appropriate. A temporary pause is still a long way from easing.
Look at the actual data: During the Asian session on October 8, the U.S. Dollar Index was around 102.25, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield r
