Lately, the topic of AI × cryptocurrency has been seriously hot. When I heard that the market cap has reached about $30.6 billion, it really made me feel like this is a sector you can’t ignore.
When you see large asset management firms like Grayscale creating AI-focused funds, or a16z listing AI agents as a key trend for 2026, I think institutional investors’ interest in this field is genuinely increasing too.
So, why do AI and cryptocurrency come together? It’s because blockchain technology may be able to address the structural challenges of AI development—like the problem of GPU computing re

Recently, stocks related to quantum computers have been moving quite a bit. Arqit Quantum's nearly 13% jump stands out, but IonQ, SEALSQ, and D-Wave Quantum have also risen over 9%. It feels like there is buying activity across the entire quantum computing sector, including Rigetti Computing.
Are quantum computer ETFs also gaining attention? This sector might be regaining the market's focus. It's not yet clear whether this is due to technological advancements or just capital inflows, but the momentum in this sector seems likely to continue for now.

The Dark Side of Cryptocurrency Revealed in a Bear Market. Recently, as the primary market continues to struggle, a single issue has come into focus across the entire industry. The "Loan Option Model" cooperation method used by market makers is causing more damage to small projects than expected.
On the surface, it sounds good. Emerging projects lend tokens to market makers for free or at low cost, and market makers provide market liquidity. It should be mutually beneficial. However, a mechanism that worked well in a bullish market has begun to be exploited by some malicious actors in a bearis

Looking back at recent silver market movements, a quite interesting development continues to unfold. The sharp rise when it hit a record high in late December in the $79 range cannot be explained by mere market fluctuations; there are underlying factors at play.
This increase is supported by rising demand from growth industries such as solar panels, electric vehicles, and AI-related hardware. At the same time, it also serves as a warning signal that the world is facing a depletion of silver, an essential industrial metal.
China accounts for 60-70% of global silver production, and since early 2

Recently, it has become noticeable that international hedge funds are starting to move seriously into the Japanese market. In particular, major hedge funds like Elliott Management are strengthening their activist activities in Japan, but I believe this is not just a temporary trend, rather it indicates a larger structural change.
The reason hedge funds are paying attention to Japan is clear: as corporate governance reforms progress, the opportunities to unlock shareholder value have increased. In fact, Bloomberg has reported on this movement, emphasizing that Elliott is steadily expanding its

Meme coins started out as simple jokes, but these days, it’s not uncommon for projects to grow to a scale of billions of dollars. From 2024 to 2025, let’s take a look together at which meme coins are worth paying attention to.
What are meme coins? They are crypto assets built based on humorous content that’s popular on the internet—in other words, memes. They aren’t designed to solve specific problems like Bitcoin or Ethereum; they’re mainly for entertainment purposes. In fact, they often lack real business infrastructure and clear use cases.
But why are so many investors drawn to meme coins?

There is an interesting analysis regarding the impact of the growth of the stablecoin market on the U.S. financial system. According to the latest report from Standard Chartered Bank, the market capitalization of stablecoins is projected to reach $2 trillion by the end of 2028.
Currently, the stablecoin market is valued at just over $300 billion, with Tether and Circle dominating an overwhelming share. Looking at the latest data, Tether's circulating market value is $185 billion, and USDC is $78.6 billion, with both companies controlling the majority of the market.
What’s important here is whe

I have a feeling that Bitcoin dropping below $70k isn't just a simple price correction but suggests a deeper issue. Last Monday, there was a temporary attempt to regain $70k, but ultimately, selling pressure pushed it back down, and now it's hovering around $68,000. Losing this level is subtly significant because it was the support line since early February.
What’s concerning is the distortion where, despite Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB all weakening over the past week, smaller coins like Zcash and Cosmos are rising nearly 20%. According to market analysts, when large-cap assets stagnate, smalle

Bitcoin's RSI has entered a historically oversold level. According to CheckOnChain data, it is a rare signal with only three previous instances where the 14-day RSI fell below 30.
RSI functions as a momentum oscillator, measuring the speed and magnitude of price changes by comparing the average upward and downward movements over the past 14 days. It is quantified on a scale from 0 to 100, with readings above 100 indicating overbought conditions and below 30 suggesting oversold conditions.
What’s interesting are the past patterns. In January 2015, when RSI dropped to around 28, Bitcoin was trad

As the Iran conflict enters its third day, interesting market trends are emerging. Bitcoin is outperforming traditional risk assets like stocks.
Typically, when geopolitical instability increases, investors shift to risk-off mode. However, at this moment, Bitcoin is showing unexpected strength. Some market participants may be re-evaluating Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a means of asset diversification.
The fact that Bitcoin is limiting its decline while the stock market is selling off suggests that its position in the crypto asset market is gradually changing. Of course, it remains

No one is talking about the alt season anymore. This might actually be a sign that the most bullish sentiment is currently present.
According to Santiment's social media analysis, the weekly mentions of the word "altseason" have dropped to their lowest level in the past two years. What this phenomenon suggests runs deep. Usually, when retail investors are all shouting about alt season, it’s a sign that the market is at its peak. Conversely, when no one is talking about it, it’s a pattern that has historically indicated large holders quietly increasing their positions.
The altcoin market is

It seems that the cryptocurrency market in Latin America is becoming more active than expected. There are reports that the user growth rate by 2025 has reached three times that of the United States, which I find to be a very interesting development.
Traditionally, the adoption of cryptocurrencies was considered to be centered in developed countries, but in Latin America, the strong demand for inflation hedging and digital payments makes such rapid growth understandable. Especially in regions with limited access to bank accounts, understanding what digital wallets are and holding cryptocurrenci

Friend-finding apps have really increased lately, haven’t they? They’re not for dating, but for people who want to connect with others who share the same hobbies, or who just genuinely want friends. It seems like quite a few people in their 30s and 40s are looking to make new friends, too.
In fact, I tried a few, and they’re totally different depending on the app. For women-only apps, there’s a higher awareness of security—requirements like an ID with a face photo, 24-hour monitoring systems, and the like. Favomatch is focused on supporting fandom activities, so it’s specialized for finding fe

Custom-made curtains: recommended stores. I recently compared a bunch of options, but it really seems like there are a lot of choices. From Nitori to Muji, to specialty stores like Perfect Space. They have both drapes and lace, and there’s a wide variety of designs. But what I’m wondering is where you can truly find the cheapest options, and how fast they deliver.
From what I looked into, if you’re in a hurry, Perfect Space is the strongest choice. With semi-custom options, they can ship the next day, and they have more than 2,000 design types—there’s nothing else like it. Their entry models a

Friend-making apps have really increased a lot recently, don’t they? They’re not for dating or marriage hunting—these are for people who are purely looking for friends. I was surprised that you can start even in your 40s or 50s, and it made me feel like there are all kinds of needs—like people who are into the same fandom activities, or women who are looking for companions they can casually talk with among the same sex.
But when choosing an app, there’s quite a bit to be concerned about, right? Like, “Are there really people who are trying to make friends?” “Is it safe even if it’s free?” So I

I noticed that retail investors' performance in prediction markets is worse than in sports betting. The median return is around -8% compared to -5%. In other words, small traders are flowing into prediction markets, but they are almost all losing money.
The reason for this is that sports betting companies eliminate winning players to manage risk, whereas prediction markets allow anyone to participate, so professionals and high-frequency traders are taking the opposite side of amateur traders. That means the difference in information advantage directly translates into profit and loss gaps.

Recently, the comments Duken Miller made to the media have become a hot topic. He strongly supports President Trump's nomination of Waller as Fed Chair.
The market's reaction was quite negative. Waller was viewed as a hawk through and through, and the crypto market also plummeted. Bitcoin temporarily dropped significantly as well. But Duken Miller's perspective is different. He points out that "branding Kevin as a hawk all the time is not correct."
I think this is a pretty interesting viewpoint. The relationship between Duken Miller and Waller is quite deep, with Waller serving as a partner at

Bitcoin is hovering just below $73,000, but this is where the real test begins. Among traders watching the chart, opinions are divided on whether this level marks a genuine rally or just a temporary rebound. In reality, the current price is around $72,850, with a 24-hour increase of about 0.62%. Not a bad move, but after reaching this point, there are strong doubts that it might be a "bull trap."
Especially experienced traders have been fooled many times in such delicate situations, so they tend to be cautious. It’s crucial to assess whether the upward momentum has solid internal support or if

The Bitcoin options market is clearly tilting bullish. Seeing the skew indicator sharply rebound from the panic level of -25% in February to +10% suggests that traders are starting to give up on downside hedges. In other words, fewer people are worried about a crash.
Based on current option prices, the estimated probability that BTC will exceed $80,000 by the end of June is about 35%. This indicates that more traders are aiming for higher upside in a way that’s almost like buying a lottery ticket. What’s especially noteworthy is that, over the past few days, the selling of put options has surg

Major Wall Street brokers are making noteworthy comments. They see the bottom of Bitcoin as being close.
Looking at recent market conditions, cautious optimism is beginning to spread even among institutional investors. Especially, these kinds of statements from Wall Street provide a calm perspective that differs from traditional bullish sentiment.
Barnstein has set a target of $150k by the end of the year. This is a quite aggressive outlook considering the current price range. However, it’s important to note that this prediction is based not just on optimism but on technical analysis indic
