She noted that this year’s earnings expectations are still within a double-digit growth range—15%~18%—but the potential for reducing that outlook is huge, and a major adjustment could happen at any time.
Key points:

🚨The era of Hong Kong stablecoins officially begins.
On April 10th at 5 PM, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority will announce the list of the first batch of stablecoin licenses.
Among 36 applicants, only 2 to 3 licenses will ultimately be granted—meaning those who get the license will directly enter the core circle of Asian digital finance.
Why is this important?
Stablecoins are not ordinary tokens; fundamentally, they are:
A "highway" connecting real-world finance and the crypto world.
Whoever gets the license first, will control the future:

"The Middle East situation could reverse overnight." On April 6th, according to Reuters: A ceasefire framework led by Pakistan has been simultaneously submitted to the United States and Iran, and could potentially take effect on the same day. The core content is very clear: immediate ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz (the global energy artery), with a final agreement to be advanced within 15–20 days, and the truly critical transaction at the last stage: 👉 Iran commits not to develop nuclear weapons 👉 in exchange for sanctions relief + asset freeze releases. This is not just an

"230 TH/s, competing against the entire network, yet taking away $210k." On April 6th, a nearly negligible hashrate achieved a textbook-level event: an independent miner using the CKpool anonymous solo mining pool successfully mined block 943,411, claiming the entire block reward: 3.139 BTC (about $210k), consisting of: 3.125 BTC block subsidy and 0.014 BTC in transaction fees. But what truly shocks the market is not the profit, but—his hashrate, which is only about 230 TH/s.
Representing a tiny fraction of the total network hashrate: 0.00002%.

The Federal Reserve faces a dilemma: mounting inflation pressures and bleak prospects for rate cuts. On April 5th, economists forecast that the US March CPI will increase by 1% month-over-month, marking the largest single-month rise since 2022, with core CPI potentially rising by 0.3%. All of this stems from the surge in energy prices triggered by the Iran conflict—US oil prices have already risen by about $1 per gallon. The core PCE index is expected to increase by 0.4% for three consecutive months, indicating that even before the conflict, the process of inflation easing has stalled. The sta

“The market is still watching prices, but Ethereum is already rewriting the supply and demand structure.”🔥 A seriously underestimated signal is happening: the Ethereum Foundation is beginning to shift from a “seller” to a “profit-oriented long-term holder.” The latest on-chain movements in April show that within a single day, the Foundation staked over 45,000 ETH, pushing the total staked amount close to 70,000 ETH (about 69,500 ETH). This is not just an operation; it’s a strategic shift. Let’s analyze the fundamental change behind this from a top-level perspective: Over the past few years, t

"The biggest misconception in the market: the true safe-haven asset may have already changed hands." On April 5th, Mercado Bitcoin's key research directly challenges traditional beliefs: within 60 days after every global crisis (war/geopolitical conflict/economic shock)—Bitcoin's performance consistently outperforms gold and the S&P 500. This is not a coincidence but a stable pattern across cycles and events. More importantly, the latest market cycle is validating this conclusion in real time: Bitcoin: +2.2% (approximately $65,800 → $67,300) Gold: -11% S&P 500: -4.4% (largest monthly decline s

Breaking News! The Strait of Hormuz has "opened," but the real signal, 99% of retail investors simply can't understand! On April 4th, Iran suddenly sent a key signal: allowing ships carrying essential supplies to pass through the Strait of Hormuz into Iranian ports. But pay attention to the key point: 👇 It's not just passing freely, but — 👉 Must be reported in advance 👉 Must undergo supervision 👉 Must follow regulations, even ships still in the Gulf of Oman need to coordinate uniformly. Many people see this news and feel nothing. But in the eyes of the big players, this is a classic "liqui
