Pysh pointed out in a conversation with Natalie Brunell from the Coin Stories podcast that institutional participation in Bitcoin-related "institutional behaviors," such as Bitcoin derivatives trading, has raised concerns within the Bitcoin community about their long-term impact, leading people to question whether Bitcoin can still serve as a safe-haven asset like it did in the past.

Golden Finance reported that Matrixport released a weekly report stating that Bitcoin has reached a new historical high, but the overall momentum appears particularly weak. Key indicators that had been continuously rising are now showing significant divergence, raising doubts about the sustainability of this round of pump. Debt expansion, seasonal factors, and on-chain structural changes are all acting on the market. Some data reflects a tendency for profit-taking in the market, while other indicators show that the core driving force of the bull run is still present. The gap between short-term enthusiasm and long-term confidence is rapidly narrowing, and the coming weeks may become a key Node in determining the trend. In the past six weeks, we have consistently maintained a relatively cautious trading position. The reason is that Bitcoin's recent breakout attempts lack the confidence and subsequent momentum displayed during previous bull runs. The overall timing seems a bit awkward, and the key indicators that have consistently supported strong upward movement have not appeared simultaneously. Therefore, it is not surprising that Bitcoin is currently maintaining a range-bound oscillation pattern.

According to Golden Finance, Hans Gersbach and other scholars from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) presented a speech on "Contagious Stablecoins?" at the World Economists Conference (ESWC) that opened on the 18th. "In an environment where multiple issuers are competing, if one issuer starts paying interest, then other issuers cannot afford to not follow suit. This will lead to overall inefficiency and instability in the stablecoin system." They added, "The interest payment mechanism of this stablecoin is contagious and may ultimately lead to a series of issues. Therefore, prohibiting interest payments through regulation is a core measure to maintain an efficient stablecoin market." Scholars have also pointed out that in the so-called "stablecoin secondary market," if investors do not redeem directly from the issuer but circulate through market transactions, any failure in adjustment can also trigger panic, which also needs to be addressed.

Odaily News Trader 0 xSun reviewed the "long ETH, short altcoins" hedging strategy he shared a month and a half ago, with an overall profit of about 3 million USD. He stated that during execution, he closed some long orders due to subjective judgment and then re-entered at a higher level, resulting in some profit loss; the allocation ratio of long and short targets is the core of the strategy. The closing position approach includes synchronously closing positions when ETH peaks and pulls back, or gradually taking profit as ETH rises and leaning towards shorting. He observed that the strategy's most profitable phases often occur during ETH's volatile declines and widespread altcoin falls, while profit retracement is more pronounced during the slight rebound phase after ETH's decline.
