Tether CEO Straightforwardly States: Tether is More Stable Than Banks, Which is Why the Media Doesn't Broadcast It According to @paoloardoino, the Tether CEO, he gave a media interview but was disappointed that it was taken out of context. He stated that many key points were discussed in the interview, but almost all of them were cut out. I explained what Tether USDT is and how it helps over 400 million people worldwide who have been abandoned by the traditional financial system. These people live in countries with extremely high inflation, where the local currency is almost unusable, such as Turkey and Argentina. For these people, our company is not just a tool, but their "only anchor" for a stable life. 1⃣ What is Tether USDT? It is a stablecoin, the only "stable currency" that many people can access. It is very important to over 400 million people worldwide who are excluded from the mainstream financial system, especially those living in high-inflation countries such as Turkey and Argentina. 2⃣ Is Tether More Stable Than Banks? Tether is over-collateralized, meaning we hold more reserves than the USDT we issue. In contrast, traditional banks? They operate on a "fractional reserve system," where 90% of deposits have already been lent out, which led to the Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse incidents. 3⃣ Our Reserves are Transparent. We disclose our reserve situation every quarter, with independent verification by the American institution Cantor Fitzgerald. Although everyone is waiting for the audit, we are working towards that direction. Silicon Valley Bank was also audited, but what was the result? So transparency > buzzword. 4⃣ Why Did We Withdraw from Europe? Not because of the audit, but because the MiCA regulations themselves are problematic and would threaten the stability of the European banking system. In the end, we chose to protect users, those who rely on Tether for their daily lives, rather than being restricted by regulations and losing service.

Matrixport: BTC Bullish Signals Reappear, On-Chain Data Shows Rare Shift Digital asset platform Matrixport released its latest market observation, pointing out that its designed "MVRV" has now turned back into bullish territory, indicating that market sentiment may be brewing for a change. Matrixport has long relied on technical aspects and the macroeconomic outlook to make forward-looking judgments, rather than relying entirely on on-chain data. This reversal of on-chain indicators is still of great significance. Such indicators rarely show trend reversals in a short period of time. The last time a similar situation occurred was in 2020, when the pandemic occurred. At that time, Matrixport also detected that the market was entering a cyclical cooling phase. If the current indicator trend can continue its positive momentum, Matrixport believes that Bitcoin in this cycle does have the potential to move towards a new all-time high.

Whether Ethereum can run or not is no longer a technical problem, but a class problem? As Ethereum continues to seek ways to expand the performance of the mainnet, a frequently overlooked but crucial question emerges: can ordinary retail investors still run their own nodes? Vitalik's new article published on Ethereum Research focuses on this point: "How to ensure that ordinary people can still afford to run nodes?" One aspect of Ethereum's scaling strategy is to increase the block gas limit, which simply means that each block can process more transactions and more data. The problem is that this will cause the amount of data that nodes must process and store to skyrocket, increasing hardware requirements and creating a technical and financial barrier. Nodes are not just "inspectors" of the blockchain, but also the last line of defense for users to protect their privacy and resist censorship. If you can only rely on external RPC to read data, these services may become single points of failure, monitor your behavior, and cooperate with blocking. @VitalikButerin has proposed a series of ideas to "lighten nodes": starting with the short-term EIP-4444 (only retaining the most recent 36 days of historical data), to promoting stateless verification in the medium term (allowing nodes to verify blocks without storing the entire state), and finally evolving into a new type of node, a partially stateless node, which makes the node more like a personalized, adjustable "blockchain private server."

The user experience becomes cleaner and more streamlined. Imagine buying coffee and only having to pay "500 bitcoin." Isn't that more intuitive than typing out 0.000005 BTC? It's a good experience for beginners, but it can cause cognitive confusion and potentially lead to information fragmentation. Bitcoin has always been an asset denominated in BTC. Suddenly referring to "1 satoshi" as "1 bitcoin" can easily confuse veteran players, exchanges, media, and public chains. This is a cognitive-level shift that needs to be gradually popularized for everyone to accept.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Bentsen stated: "Moody's downgrade of the U.S. rating is a lagging indicator; the deficit accounts for 6.7% of GDP, which is the highest level outside of economic recession or wartime." The continued rise of Bitcoin proves the market's choice. https://t.co/aJtGaV4Q1F

Scientists Can Now "Create Gold," Making It No Longer Rare. Is Bitcoin Ready to Take Over? Scientists can now genuinely "create gold" in the lab. Years ago, scientists created "artificial diamonds," and the result was indistinguishable from the real thing to the naked eye. The key point is that the cost was only 1%. If the scarcity of gold can be replaced by laboratories, once the market realizes this, money will no longer flow into gold but will shift heavily towards Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is a truly scarce asset, a limited quantity guaranteed by code that cannot be arbitrarily issued or cracked. So, in long-term asset allocation, which is more trustworthy?

On-chain data analyst Murphy compared the recent price action of Bitcoin (BTC) to the rally that started in November of last year from $68,000, using the 3-day Realized Cap to see if it was backed by real money.He pointed out:📌 The upward trend in November 2024 (from $68,000 to nearly $100,000)Showed three distinct waves of capital pushing the price up (RC increased by $6.8 billion, $14.8 billion, and $19.9 billion respectively). Each wave had a higher price and stronger capital inflow, showing a strong "higher high" trend.📌 The recent price action (from $83,000 to $104,000)Although the first segment ($83,000 ➝ $93,000) saw an RC increase of $7.2 billion, almost the same as the first wave last year, the subsequent second segment ($94,000 ➝ $104,000) only saw an RC increase of $5.3 billion, a significant decrease.📉 Murphy believes:The price is already close to the previous high, but the capital inflow has not kept up. This means that there is a risk of "artificially inflated market cap," meaning that the price increase is only driven by a small amount of capital and lacks subsequent capital support.🎯 Key points to watch going forward:・If the next wave of RC increase continues to shrink, it may indicate a weakening of the upward momentum.・Conversely, if the RC increase expands, Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to break through its all-time high.

🔓 Coinbase Security Scandal! Hackers Demand $20,000,000 Ransom + SEC Investigates "Inflated User Numbers" Coinbase officially announced that overseas customer service personnel were bribed and leaked data of less than 1% of monthly active users (MTU) to hackers. The hackers attempted to impersonate Coinbase to defraud users and subsequently demanded a $20,000,000 hush money payment, which Coinbase refused. Coinbase emphasized that no passwords, private keys, or funds were leaked, and Prime customer accounts were also unaffected. Victims will be compensated. They also announced the establishment of a $20,000,000 bounty fund to track down the hackers involved. In addition, The New York Times revealed that the U.S. SEC is investigating whether Coinbase exaggerated its user numbers. The case began during Biden's term and has continued uninterrupted. The focus is on Coinbase's claim of having over 100,000,000 "verified users" at the time of its IPO in 2021, but the data stopped being cited two years later. Sources say Coinbase is currently being assisted by the Davis Polk law firm in responding to the investigation. Affected by the news, Coinbase's stock price closed down 7.20% to $244.00 on Thursday.

Analyst Axel points out that Bitcoin's short-term holder MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) is currently at 1.09, not yet entering a significant profit-taking zone. According to his calculations: * The first wave of significant selling pressure is expected to appear when the MVRV reaches 1.25, corresponding to a Bitcoin price of approximately $118,000.000; * The second, stronger wave of profit-taking may occur when the MVRV reaches 1.35, with a price of approximately $128,000.000. If the current daily average increase continues, the MVRV reaching 1.25 may occur in early June, and 1.35 before the end of the month. However, Axel also reminds that this is a linear prediction, and the actual trend will still accelerate or slow down depending on market sentiment. #Bitcoin #BTC #MVRV
