According to Jin Ten, Fed's Schmid stated on Wednesday that high inflation remains a key issue that the Fed needs to address, but he did not specify how monetary policy should respond. Schmid said, "I think we still have work to do on inflation," while noting that the employment situation is quite good. He pointed out that the large amount of mortgage-backed securities held from the Fed's past bond-buying actions continues to suppress housing borrowing costs, and mortgage rates "could be 75 to 100 basis points lower than their original levels."

According to the Bitfinex Alpha report, the Bitcoin market remains in a high time frame downtrend due to weak inflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs and continued selling by large holders.The report notes that although Bitcoin has rebounded 20% from its low on February 5, it has not yet confirmed a bottom. So far this year, the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen a cumulative net outflow of $2.6 billion, and the "ETF fatigue" among institutional investors has intensified selling pressure. On-chain data shows that approximately 64% of the inflow funds to exchanges currently come from large holders (whales), marking the highest ratio since October 2015.Additionally, affected by U.S. tariff policies and macroeconomic uncertainty, options traders are once again paying a premium for downside risk, leading to a cautious market sentiment. Currently, the realized price of $53,000 is seen as a key support level for the mid-term market.

According to CoinDesk, although the price of Bitcoin has fallen nearly 17% this month, the stock prices of several Bitcoin mining companies have risen against the trend, such as TeraWulf, which has increased by 31% this month, Cipher Mining by 8%; Hut 8 by 6%; and Core Scientific remaining basically flat.Analysts believe that Bitcoin mining companies are currently one of the targets with a high short-selling ratio among hedge funds. If the fundamentals improve, it may trigger a short covering rally. These companies have secured long-term and attractive power contracts, giving them a structural advantage on the energy cost side. Their strategic value goes beyond just Bitcoin mining, and capital is flowing towards "structural winners," while traditional mining companies may face the risk of being marginalized.

Presto Research Associate Researcher Min Jung stated that Bitcoin's drop below $63,000 seems to reflect a broad deterioration in cryptocurrency market sentiment rather than a single fundamental catalyst. In the short term, macro headlines, particularly those surrounding tariffs and resurfacing geopolitical uncertainties, are exacerbating the risk-off sentiment towards digital assets.Jung added, "It is noteworthy that even as traditional risk assets remain relatively resilient, cryptocurrencies have performed poorly recently. This divergence suggests that the sell-off is not purely driven by macro factors, but also reflects weak marginal demand, thinning liquidity conditions, and ongoing deleveraging within the crypto-native market."Bitrue Research Director Andri Fauzan Adziima stated, "We have seen massive long liquidations, with hundreds of millions evaporating, funding rates remaining negative, a sharp decline in open interest, and the futures market clearly leaning bearish. Short-term holders are suffering significant losses, but long-term holders have not yet begun large-scale selling; on-chain HODL signals indicate that some are quietly accumulating during this strategic de-risking process."Adziima pointed out that the $60,000-$63,000 range is a key support area for Bitcoin. If the price can hold steady at or above this level, the market may benefit from the damage caused to shorts by negative funding rates, creating conditions for a classic "squeeze after a washout." The analyst added that potential easing of macroeconomic conditions or a return of ETF funds could further support this trend.Adziima stated that, on the other hand, if it falls below $60,000, in the worst-case scenario, an accelerated chain liquidation due to worsening macro conditions could open the door to a drop towards the mid-$55,000s or even as low as $47,000. Adziima remarked, "At that point, we might ultimately force some long-term holders to capitulate, turning this into a deeper bear market extension before the true cycle bottom arrives."

According to the Xinmin Evening News, a 38-year-old Chinese businessman, Wang, was kidnapped and killed in Turkey, and 10 suspects have been arrested.

On-chain analyst Specter posted on the X platform, stating that IoTeX may have experienced a private key leak incident, with all assets in its token safe being transferred out by attackers, resulting in a total loss of approximately $4.3 million.On-chain data shows that the attackers transferred multiple contract assets, including USDC, USDT, IOTX, PAYG, WBTC, and BUSD. Subsequently, the stolen assets were exchanged for ETH, of which about 45 ETH have been transferred to the Bitcoin network via a cross-chain bridge. The incident is still under further confirmation.

According to The Block, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has pointed out that Bitcoin has fallen below the "True Market Mean," which historically serves as a dividing line between expansion and contraction cycles. The current structural support level below may look towards $54,900.Additionally, the net flow of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has shifted back to continuous outflows, weakening the previously supportive marginal demand. In the derivatives market, panic sentiment has eased somewhat, but has not turned optimistic. Implied volatility has retreated from high levels, indicating that traders are unwinding their downside protection positions, but have not yet significantly established long positions.

The founder of Slow Fog, Yu Xian, reposted a security reminder. Currently, the ClawHub market of OpenClaw has discovered 1,184 malicious skills that can steal SSH keys, encrypted wallets, browser passwords, and open reverse shells. A single attacker has uploaded 677 packages. The top-ranked skill has 9 vulnerabilities and has been downloaded thousands of times.Yu Xian reminds users that text is no longer just text, but instructions. It is recommended to use AI tools in isolated environments, as many OpenClaw skills pose potential risks. Furthermore, Web3 security smart contracts are only part of the issue; the real causes of incidents are far beyond just contracts. A few days ago, Moonwell was hacked for $1.78 million, with the faulty code coming from Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, stating that network layer anonymity has long been an important missing piece in the construction of privacy technology systems. Neither on-chain privacy solutions (such as Railgun) nor off-chain zero-knowledge applications (such as ZK API receipts) have managed to cover this aspect.He also pointed out that there are a considerable number of application scenarios that have low bandwidth requirements but are highly sensitive to latency. Achieving an effective balance between low latency and high anonymity is of significant importance for the development of related technological directions.

According to Cointelegraph, despite ETH's cumulative decline of about 20% and briefly falling below the psychological level of $2,000, on-chain data and derivatives structure indicate that the market is brewing a potential rebound.On-chain data shows that over 2.5 million ETH flowed into long-term holding addresses in February, with the holdings of related addresses increasing from 22 million to 26.7 million since 2026. At the same time, approximately 37.22 million ETH (accounting for over 30% of the circulating supply) is currently staked, leading to a continuous contraction of the circulating supply. The network's fundamentals have also significantly improved, with weekly transaction numbers reaching a historical high of 17.3 million, and the median Gas fee dropping to $0.008, a decrease of about 3,000 times from the peak in 2021.On the technical side, ETH's 4-hour chart may be forming an "Adam and Eve bottom" reversal pattern. If the price effectively breaks through the neckline at $2,150, the theoretical target range points to $2,473--$2,634. If it loses the recent high-low structure, $1,909 will be a key short-term liquidity level.In terms of derivatives, the open interest in ETH has decreased to $11.2 billion, significantly down from the cycle high of $30 billion in August 2025, but the estimated leverage ratio remains at a relatively high level of 0.7. Data shows that approximately 73% of accounts are in a long position; the liquidation heatmap indicates that there is over $2 billion in short liquidation pressure above $2,200, while the liquidation scale for long positions around $1,800 is about $1 billion, with a relatively higher risk of short squeezes above.Analysts believe that if ETH can achieve an effective breakout above $2,150, it may open up upward space in the short term, targeting the $2,500 level.

In discussions related to Consensus HK, Yoyee, the head of institutional business at Bybit, stated that RWA is an important practical path for effectively bridging Web2 and Web3.She pointed out that there are already relatively mature solutions available in the market:Real-world assets are custodied by trusted custodians or banks, allowing investors to enjoy the returns from the underlying assets; at the same time, they are mapped onto the blockchain for circulation and trading on platforms, enhancing returns and improving liquidity.This model ensures asset security while introducing on-chain liquidity and trading efficiency, creating a win-win structure for custodians, platforms, and investors.RWA is gradually transitioning from narrative to a replicable financial model.

Deribit Chief Commercial Officer Jean-David Péquignot stated at the Consensus HK conference that the long-term upward trend of Bitcoin has currently been disrupted, and it is difficult to repair the technical upward structure before the price reclaims $85,000.Recently, Bitcoin's price has mainly been operating in the range of $60,000 to $70,000, a decline of about 45% from last year's historical high, and it may record a fourth consecutive week of decline. If Bitcoin breaks through $85,000 again, it would mean that buyers have basically absorbed the supply that previously suppressed the market and regained market dominance. At this stage, traders generally view the range of $58,000 to $60,000 as the key ultimate support area for this adjustment cycle.

According to the weekly report released by Matrix on Target, the price of Bitcoin has fallen below the key level indicated by analysts, confirming the downward trend. The current retracement of Bitcoin in both magnitude and pace is quite similar to the downward phases of historical cycles. The market's focus has shifted from "Has the trend reversed?" to "When will the next more favorable allocation window arrive?"Looking back, analysts successfully identified the starting point of the Bitcoin bull market and predicted that the peak of this cycle could reach $125,000. Between the end of 2024 and October 2025, Bitcoin has repeatedly shown characteristics of the fifth round of the bull market nearing its end, indicating that the bullish momentum is gradually waning. As the price has fallen below key levels, the market has entered the confirmation phase of a bear market.
