Recently, the cryptocurrency industry has been making frequent moves. Renowned investor Cathie Wood publicly stated that the US government might consider directly purchasing Bitcoin as a national asset reserve, which immediately drew widespread market attention.

In terms of data performance, the results are impressive. The trading volume of stablecoins in 2025 has surpassed $33 trillion, hitting a new all-time high, fully reflecting the core role of stablecoins in payments and transactions. Meanwhile, Wall Street institutions and the crypto industry have made new progress in regulatory communication—during closed-door discussions, DeFi and yield-bearing stablecoins received some industry support.

Market sentiment has also experienced subtle changes. JPMorgan's latest view suggests that the "de-risking" process of crypto assets may have come to an end, and ETF capital inflows are beginning to stabilize. On this front, Grayscale launched a BNB ETF product and completed registration in Delaware, providing investors with a new allocation option. Trader pension-usdt.eth recently shifted from short to long, with ETH long positions showing an unrealized profit of over $300,000, reflecting some professional traders' optimism about the future market.

On the ecosystem front, the Plasma network has integrated Rain stablecoin payment cards, continuously enriching payment application scenarios. However, security risks must also be vigilant—Truebit Protocol appears to have been hacked, with 8,535 ETH stolen, reminding the industry to pay attention to smart contract security.

At the policy level, Trump explicitly stated he would not consider pardoning SBF, while US Treasury Secretary Yellen revealed that Trump will make a decision on the Federal Reserve Chair candidate in January. These actions are shaping the future direction of crypto policy.

Will the national team enter Bitcoin? This is really happening... Does Cathie Wood mean that the US will treat BTC as foreign exchange reserves? So, are we small investors still have a chance haha 33 trillion stablecoins... Oh my, this number is a bit scary, it feels like everyone is playing the game of making money with money JPMorgan says the de-risking phase is over, I believe it half-heartedly, anyway I will keep watching quietly, but this guy pension's unrealized gains of 300,000 dollars are indeed impressive The fact that Truebit was hacked is really upsetting, we need to strengthen security audits again, there are still too many pitfalls in smart contracts SBF's forgiveness is definitely out of the question, does Trump’s attitude towards crypto really seem that unwelcoming?

$33 trillion in stablecoin trading volume—that number sounds unbelievable... Has Wall Street really gotten serious? But the most heartbreaking thing is Truebit being hacked for 8,535 ETH. We talk about security first every day, but who really follows through? pension-usdt.eth guy made a floating profit of $300,000. Meanwhile, I'm still getting caught in traps... --- It's actually understandable that Trump didn't pardon SBF; it's just a political move. The real key is whether the change of Federal Reserve Chair will affect interest rates—that's the main drama. --- Are stablecoins about to be integrated into payment cards? It feels like we're one step closer to breaking into the mainstream. --- Wait, did Cathie Wood say that the US might directly buy Bitcoin as reserves? If that really happens, the attitude of traditional institutions will truly change. --- What is $33 trillion... How strong must the liquidity be? Or are big players repeatedly opening and closing positions? --- The hacker's 8,535 ETH disappeared overnight. What’s the point of security audits anymore? This circle is really too intense.
