According to CoinDesk, Deribit Chief Commercial Officer Jean-David Péquignot stated that $60,000 is a key structural threshold for Bitcoin. Over the past year, a large amount of institutional funds (including ETF buyers, large holders, and short-term speculators) have bought Bitcoin in the $60,000 to $67,000 range. If the price continues to decline, unrealized losses will increase, and holding costs will rise, especially against the backdrop of rising AI stocks, which may prompt panic selling among investors. The open interest of put options with a strike price of $60,000 on Deribit has a notional value of over $1.2 billion.As Bitcoin approaches $60,000, market makers face Gamma risk from shorting put options and will be forced to sell spot or futures to balance their books, accelerating the decline. In addition, there is still excessive leveraged long positions in the system, and a drop below $60,000 could trigger more liquidations, creating a chain reaction.

Previously, David Hoffman, co-founder of Bankless, which officially announced the liquidation of ETH, expressed the view that the current Bitcoin price is just at the 200-week moving average (MA).Reviewing the historical market, BTC only effectively broke below this moving average during the bear market phase triggered by the consecutive collapses of Terra, Three Arrows Capital, and FTX, which was also a highly destructive systemic crisis in the history of the crypto industry.In his opinion, the market risks brought by the convertible bonds and other operations launched by Michael Saylor's Strategy do not reach the level of harm caused by the previous series of collapses. In addition, he disclosed the cost of his holdings again, with the cost of NEAR at about $1.4, HYPE at about $45, and ZEC at about $560.

The Huobi HTX VIP private class "AI + Trading from Theory to Practice" was held in Shanghai, where early Bitcoin miner and pyra.io CTO Tian Jia shared the development of quantum computing and the impact of AI on trading.He believes that in the AI era, investors are more equitable in "gaining knowledge," such as establishing institutional-level trading frameworks. However, in "trading competition," it is less equitable, such as training institutional-level trading models. The real enhancement of fairness comes from AI lowering the cognitive threshold, while the true unfairness expands from the concentration of data, speed, capital, and platform manipulation capabilities.

According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated on social media: "Iran must agree that they will never have nuclear weapons or nuclear bombs. The Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately in both directions, with no tolls, allowing shipping traffic to pass unrestricted. All mines (bombs)------if any------will be cleared (we have previously utilized our excellent underwater mine-sweeping ships to clear a large number of such mines by detonation. Iran will be responsible for immediately clearing and/or detonating any remaining mines------there shouldn't be too many!).Those ships that have been stranded in the strait due to our astonishing and unprecedented naval blockade------given that the blockade has now been lifted------can begin to "set sail for home"! The concentrated materials that are buried deep underground------sometimes referred to as "nuclear dust"------are currently being pressed under a mountain that has nearly collapsed (this is due to the powerful B-2 bomber airstrikes we launched 11 months ago); these materials will be excavated by the United States and will be thoroughly destroyed in close coordination and cooperation with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Until further notice, there will be no financial transactions between the two parties.In addition, the two sides have reached a consensus on other issues that are far less important than the above matters. I am now heading to the "situation room" for a meeting to make the final decision." AXIOS reporters interpret that Trump hinted at an imminent approval of the Iran agreement.

According to The Block, quantitative market maker Wintermute has announced its entry into the prediction market sector, providing two-way quote liquidity services for several mainstream event contract platforms, marking the official expansion of its trading infrastructure into the emerging market at the intersection of crypto and traditional assets.The company stated that it has been continuously providing buy and sell bilateral quotes on multiple "leading platforms," with the total monthly trading volume of these prediction markets exceeding $20 billion this year, indicating that this sector is growing rapidly but still in the early stages of liquidity. Wintermute's annual trading volume exceeds $3.5 trillion, and this expansion further strengthens its cross-asset market-making capabilities.Jake Ostrovskis, head of OTC trading at the company, stated that prediction markets have a demand structure similar to traditional major asset classes, but liquidity is still insufficient, requiring continuous bilateral quotes to enhance price discovery efficiency and trading depth. He pointed out that tighter spreads and greater trading capacity will improve the quality of market probability signals.In the industry, institutions such as Jump Trading and Galaxy Digital have also entered this field, with some platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi having a cumulative trading volume exceeding $150 billion. Analysts believe that Wintermute's entry further promotes the integration of prediction markets and crypto infrastructure, especially in terms of stablecoin settlement, on-chain clearing, and risk management systems, as these markets gradually approach a derivatives-level institutional development structure.

Bit Digital, a Nasdaq-listed company, CEO Sam Tabar posted on X that he has bought more ETH.Sam Tabar explained, "Many people, after seeing ETH's price performance over the past two years, concluded that it is finished. But I believe they have identified the wrong catalyst. The repricing of ETH should never have been based on retail narratives. For an asset supported by such a vast infrastructure, that narrative is inherently too fragile. The real catalyst is institutional demand. And the rhythm of institutional demand never operates according to the emotions on social media. It only occurs when conditions are ripe, such as when the compliance framework is ready, the custody system is established, and the regulatory environment is stable enough for CFOs to sign off. That moment is actually closer than what the market price reflects."He added, "I hold ETH because I have a fiduciary obligation to make smart capital allocation decisions. And based on the price at which I bought, ETH meets that standard."
