What Are Stablecoins? Are They Really Stable?

In the cryptocurrency market, stablecoins are often used for trading, transfers, and asset settlement.

Unlike crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, whose prices are highly volatile, stablecoins are typically pegged to fiat currencies such as the US dollar, with the aim of keeping their prices relatively stable.

But there is an easily overlooked point: relative price stability does not mean an asset is absolutely safe.

I. How Do Stablecoins Work?

Stablecoins typically maintain price stability through different mechanisms, mainly including

I’ve moved the stop-loss on the remaining 30% up to 0.0072. Overall, my risk exposure is less than 15% of my total capital. Not chasing the price is the only thing I got right today.

Why do some traders fail to make money even when they read the market correctly?

Have you ever experienced this?

You correctly predicted that Bitcoin would rise, but entered too late and made only a little; you correctly identified a downtrend, but closed your position too early and missed the main move; you even accurately predicted the market’s direction, yet your account still failed to deliver the returns you hoped for.

This highlights an important point:

Reading the market correctly is only part of trading success. Getting the direction right does not guarantee a profitable trade.

Is the Crypto Market Really Short on Money? Who Is Deciding the Next Bull Market?

The crypto market has continued to fall recently, and many investors have begun to believe that there is no longer any new capital entering the market. But I think a more accurate way to put it is that the market is going through a period of liquidity contraction, investors staying on the sidelines, and asset repricing.

To assess the next bull market, we need to focus on three sources of capital.

First, global liquidity. The Fed’s interest rate policy, the US dollar index, and the monetary conditions in major

AI companies are still aggressively chasing scale! But investors have started asking: Where are your profits?

A subtle shift is taking place in the AI industry.
In the past, the first thing investors asked an AI company was: How many parameters does your model have?
Now the questions are gradually becoming: How many customers do you have? What's your renewal rate? What's your gross margin?
This shows that market preferences are changing.
OpenAI's revenue growth and expanding enterprise business prove that AI is beginning to generate real commercial demand. At the same time, however, spending

Anthropic at $1.4 trillion—can we participate?
Anthropic's fundraising and IPO plans are set, with an offering price of up to $78 and a fully diluted valuation of up to $1.4 trillion. This isn't just one company's IPO; it's the pricing anchor for the AI capital cycle. If it holds up, the valuation framework for the entire AI sector can hold up, and those waiting in line can still go public. Of course, what retail investors care about most is whether $78 is too high and whether we can participate.

$PLAY That wick was beautifully executed. I’m the one who placed a sell order at 0.0108, and now it’s at 0.0079, down 26.4% in 24 hours, with 10.7M in trading volume—all that liquidity came from my dumping.

First, here’s how I played it: early in the session, I placed fake buy orders around 0.0105 to prop up the price, waited for momentum buyers to come in and push it up to 0.0108, then canceled my orders and dumped. I unloaded 3M in volume in an hour, driving it straight to 0.0072. Then I accumulated while it traded sideways in the 0.0072–0.0075 range. Now it’s at 0.0079. What you’re seeing

Why Can Higher Trading Frequency Make It Harder to Earn Consistent Returns?

Many traders believe that the more trades they make, the more likely they are to seize opportunities.

When they see prices rise, they want to enter; when they see prices pull back, they want to buy the dip; after a stop-loss, they rush to look for the next opportunity.

By the end of the day, they have more trades on record and have paid more in fees, but their account returns may not have grown accordingly.

The problem is that more trading opportunities do not mean more worthwhile opportunities.

Anthropic’s valuation has surged to $1.4 trillion! Is the AI industry about to create the next tech legend?

Anthropic has really broken through the AI industry’s valuation ceiling this time!
An IPO price of up to $78 per share would put its fully diluted valuation at up to $1.4 trillion. The IPO could raise up to approximately $64.4 billion, with seven other tech giants also participating in a $26 billion private placement.
This is no ordinary tech company listing—it’s a mega-show for the AI capital markets.

Bitcoin ETFs continue to see net outflows. Are institutions really starting to abandon Bitcoin?
Recently, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded consecutive net outflows, drawing widespread market attention. Many investors are beginning to worry: Are the Wall Street institutions that once drove Bitcoin's rise now pulling out of the crypto market?
I believe we cannot conclude that institutions have turned completely bearish based solely on short-term outflows. We need to analyze the situation from three perspectives.
First, market risk management. When U.S. stocks correct and macroeconomic uncert

Don't just focus on ChatGPT! The next real AI competition is about who can sell AI to businesses

If the keyword in the previous phase of AI competition was models, the keyword in the next phase may be enterprise adoption.
Why?
Because models are becoming increasingly capable, and it will be harder to build a competitive moat based solely on the chat experience.
The truly valuable opportunity is embedding AI into companies' day-to-day operations.
For example, having AI automatically handle customer inquiries, generate financial reports, analyze sales data, assist programmers in developing soft

Many traders focus only on candlestick charts and trading volume when analyzing BTC market trends, while overlooking a very important metric: order book depth.

The order book records the quantities of buy and sell orders at different price levels in the market, helping us observe the current buy and sell orders.

So, how should you read order book depth?

First, observe the depth of the bids and asks. If there are a large number of buy orders in a certain price range, that area may have potential buying support; if a large number of sell orders are concentrated above, they may create short-te

In the era of large models, everyone is competing over chip performance and compute power. But what actually drags training and inference into the mud is often the underlying “environment puzzle”!

Microsoft and Tsinghua University recently published an interesting empirical study that turns its attention to infrastructure at the very bottom of the large-model stack: GPU kernel libraries. The researchers dug through 300 closed GitHub issues across seven mainstream GPU kernel libraries and analyzed, one by one, the causes of the errors that leave engineers pulling their hair out.

There is a very interesting phenomenon in the AI industry right now: models are getting smarter, and the bills are growing just as cleverly.
Anthropic is targeting a $1.4 trillion valuation, driven by enormous funding needs and continually expanding computing investments.
