The founder of Binance, CZ, responded to early Bitcoin investor Davinci Jeremie regarding the "zero balance" experience of his multi-signature wallet, stating that if a wallet software upgrade changes the derivation path, it is "very bad and scary," referring to it as "self custody perks."Previously, Davinci pointed out that his 2-of-3 multi-signature wallet was unable to find the original address and balance despite using the correct private key due to a software change in the derivation path, and he ultimately relied on the saved old path to recover it. Several industry participants added that different standards (such as BIP44, BIP84, BIP86) can generate different addresses under the same mnemonic phrase, and if a wallet upgrade is not adequately prompted and migrated, it could lead to users misjudging the risk of asset loss.

Benchmark analysts recently reaffirmed their "buy" rating on Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and set a target price of $705, indicating an upside potential of about 430% from the current share price of approximately $130. Analysts believe that the company's strategic shift to the STRC preferred stock financing model is expected to become a core driver of Bitcoin reserve growth.At the Strategy World 2026 conference, the company's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the company will shift from its previous strategy of encouraging enterprises to incorporate Bitcoin into their balance sheets to focusing on promoting STRC perpetual preferred stock as the primary financing tool for future Bitcoin purchases. Benchmark analysts noted that STRC will become the "main engine" for Strategy to accumulate Bitcoin and is expected to accelerate the growth rate of the company's Bitcoin holdings per share.The STRC price fell to around $90 earlier this month but has since rebounded to near the $100 par value level. This preferred stock product offers an annualized yield of approximately 11%, pays dividends monthly, and has priority over common stockholders in the dividend distribution order.

According to the latest weekly report from Binance Research, the U.S. Supreme Court's tariff ruling initially increased uncertainty, but quantitative analysis suggests that the direct impact may be quite limited, and the market may have exaggerated the downside risks of inflation and economic fundamentals.Concerns about AI disrupting software may be overstated. Once software stocks form a durable bottom, the mechanical correlation between tech stocks and Bitcoin will fade. This week's Nvidia earnings report and updates on the Anthropic corporate partnership may be early signals in this direction.Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing the longest and most significant divergence from global M2 money supply in history, stemming from three major structural distortions: a weak dollar mechanically inflates the nominal value of M2 through exchange rate conversion; the approval of spot ETFs has led institutions to classify Bitcoin alongside software stocks as part of the same high-volatility tech factor; and high real interest rates have made money market funds a competitive alternative to risk assets.The convergence of this divergence requires three conditions to be met: stabilization of tech stocks, a decline in real interest rates, and stability of the dollar, which may be achieved between the second half of 2026 and early 2027.Multiple technical indicators point to the market being close to a structural bottom: the realized profit-loss ratio has fallen below 1 for the first time since 2023, leverage has risen to November highs, and defensive positions in options have reached the most extreme levels since the FTX collapse.Fourth-quarter 13F holdings data shows that price-sensitive capital (investment advisors, banks, hedge funds) has net sold about 34,000 BTC, while long-term institutional capital (governments, holding companies, private equity) continues to accumulate.

Bitcoin fell back after a strong rise to $70,000 during the U.S. trading session on Wednesday, reporting around $68,600 during the Asian session on Thursday, failing to effectively hold the key integer level. Since the end of February, BTC has maintained a range-bound structure, having dipped to $62,500 earlier this month and reaching $71,100 on February 15.Market participants noted that Bitcoin had previously broken through a similar range in January, but then quickly fell from $98,000 to $60,000, forming lower highs during this downward cycle, which has made some traders cautious about the sustainability of the current breakout. Derivatives data shows that the total open interest (OI) in cryptocurrency futures has increased by over 6.6%, approaching $100 billion, with a growth rate higher than the overall market cap increase, indicating new capital inflow.In the options market, Deribit data shows that the Bitcoin rebound has driven an increase in demand for call options with strike prices between $85,000 and $90,000. However, the overall options structure still leans towards bearish protection, with $60,000 put options being the current most popular position, having a nominal open interest exceeding $1.4 billion, indicating that the market still retains concerns about downside risks.

The Hong Kong virtual currency trading platform AAX ceased operations in mid-November 2022 under the pretext of system maintenance and updates, leaving over 300 customers unable to retrieve nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars in assets. After an investigation, Hong Kong law enforcement discovered that the platform's shutdown was allegedly caused by false information and illegal means, with the person in charge fleeing Hong Kong with a virtual currency wallet and private keys, and later being arrested upon returning.Hong Kong police stated that after a thorough investigation, 191 victims reported losses totaling approximately 81 million Hong Kong dollars, while the AAX person in charge withdrew virtual currency worth about 633 million Hong Kong dollars after the platform ceased operations. He has currently been charged with 3 counts of theft and 1 count of fraud.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, an anonymous trader used a new wallet to bet $50,700, wagering that Axiom would be charged with insider trading, with odds of only 15.1%. This sparked speculation about their potential possession of insider information.Subsequently, many traders followed suit, causing Axiom's odds to even surpass those of Meteora. After closing the position, the trader made a profit of $39,000 within a day.

According to the WSJ, on February 24, the court-appointed bankruptcy administrator of Terraform Labs has sued Jane Street in the federal court in New York, accusing it of engaging in front-running trades and profiting from non-public insider information provided by Terra insiders during the Terra collapse. The lawsuit reveals that Jane Street established a secret communication channel with Terraform Labs employees through former intern Bryce Pratt to obtain non-public confidential information. On May 7, 2022, Terraform Labs withdrew 150 million TerraUSD (UST) from the Curve liquidity pool without prior announcement, and Jane Street followed suit by withdrawing approximately 85 million UST through affiliated wallets in less than 10 minutes, completing the "front-running" trade before a massive market panic and the complete de-pegging of UST, which not only resulted in illegal profits but also accelerated the collapse of Terraform Labs and the Terra ecosystem.A spokesperson for Jane Street responded to the accusations from the Terraform Labs bankruptcy administrator, stating that the lawsuit is an attempt to extract money from Jane Street, and that Jane Street will vigorously defend its rights against "baseless and opportunistic allegations." In addition to the Terraform lawsuit, Jane Street was accused of market manipulation in India last year, resulting in the freezing of assets worth approximately 4.843 billion rupees (about 565 million dollars) and a ban on trading in the Indian securities market. There are also rumors that Chinese regulators are reviewing Jane Street's trading patterns in the Chinese ETF market.The crypto community has noted that since Jane Street was sued, the daily "10 AM crash" of Bitcoin (Eastern Time) has suddenly disappeared, with Bitcoin rising by 10% and its market capitalization increasing by approximately 120 billion dollars, marking the first green weekly candle for BTC after five consecutive red ones. During the same period, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market also increased by nearly 200 billion dollars. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated, "This 'threat' has disappeared, which is the atmosphere felt today in CT and price movements. I also understand that the previous significant intraday drops nearly destroyed every rebound and undermined everyone's confidence. But is simply eliminating it enough to support a sustained rebound? We shall see."Speculation surrounding Jane Street has reignited discussions about the trading mechanism of Bitcoin spot ETFs. Analysts point out that the share creation and redemption of spot ETFs can be completed by authorized participants (APs) under a regulatory exemption framework, and does not necessarily require immediate buying and selling of Bitcoin in the public market; in cases of futures contango, APs may also hedge and protect through derivatives such as futures, leading to a time lag between ETF fund inflows and spot buying and short-term price performance.As a leading global quantitative trading giant, Jane Street has a broad presence in the cryptocurrency sector, primarily focused on infrastructure, DeFi, and crypto mining. Public information shows that Jane Street has invested in several crypto-native projects, including: ZetaChain, Arbitrum, 1inch, Euler Finance, Membrane Labs, Kaito, Vest Exchange, and others.In terms of equity, Jane Street significantly increased its holdings in several crypto mining companies through the secondary market between 2024 and 2026, including: approximately 5.4% of Bitfarms (BITF); approximately 5% of Cipher Mining (CIFR); and approximately 5% of Hut 8 (HUT). Additionally, Jane Street participated in multiple rounds of Kraken financing last year. Jane Street is also one of the main liquidity providers and stockholders of Coinbase.
