Eric Semler 敦促 Zoom 采用比特币财务策略

XRP’s long-term chart shows a powerful upsloping channel dating back to late 2024, hinting at a potential breakout to $4.50 by mid-2025. But first, a key support level must hold. Ripple’s (XRP) native token may be setting up for a major breakout in 2025, with a technically supported price target of $4.50. Price action has remained confined within a well-respected, high time frame ascending channel since November 2024, forming the foundation for a bullish long-term outlook. Recent moves within the range suggest that XRP is entering a crucial phase, one that could determine whether it rallies to new multi-year highs or falls back into consolidation. Key technical points Long-Term Ascending Channel:Confirmed structure since November 2024 with three major touchpoints. Strong Confluence Levels:$1.97 support aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and value area low. Bullish Target:$4.50 is the projected upper resistance of the channel, with timing set around July 2025. XRPUSDT (4H) Chart, Source: TradingView XRP’s price structure has been exceptionally clean on higher time frames, with price respecting both the channel high and channel low since late 2024. This type of symmetrical behavior strengthens the reliability of the structure and adds weight to its technical merit. Throughout the accumulation phase, XRP has traded primarily within the value area, the zone between the value area low and high, suggesting prolonged consolidation before expansion. The current rally has brought XRP toward the value area high, where resistance is expected. This level also converges with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the recent range, increasing the likelihood of a pullback. A rejection here, while short-term bearish, would actually help validate the larger bullish scenario.

This level, being the edge of the channel and also aligned with both the Fibonacci level and value area low, presents a textbook buy zone. If bulls defend this region successfully, it could trigger the next leg up within the channel, a move that would aim directly at the upper boundary near $4.50. What to expect in the coming price action Should XRP continue respecting the channel structure, a short-term pullback to $1.97 could provide a golden opportunity for bulls. As long as this area holds, the broader trend remains intact, and a breakout toward $4.50 becomes more likely as mid-2025 approaches. Keep a close eye on volume and market momentum at the key levels mentioned, these will be crucial for validating any breakout scenario.

What started as an X rant of a crypto investor blaming Binance Alpha for raking airdrops while leaving testnet users with negligible rewards turned into a discussion, an open letter to Binance, and a trending hashtag #StopBinanceAlpha.  Table of ContentsBinance Wallet’s dominanceWhat is Binance Alpha?Why did it get criticized? Binance Wallet’s dominance Primitive Ventures founder Dovey Wan emphasized the fact that Binance Wallet became a dominant power in the swap market after the shutdown of OKX Wallet due to its use by North Korean hackers. In her X post, Wan called Binance Wallet a MetaMask killer and brought up an 80% market share evaluation. Nobody on CT is talking about this, but Binance Wallet quietly became the global level MetaMask killer, ate the whole lunch of OKX wallet after its prolonged shutdown. Its market share just rips after launching of the alpha program, turned the wallet into a meme farming engine +… pic.twitter.com/XuBjKlguHy— Dovey "Rug the fiat" Wan (hiring) (@DoveyWan) May 14, 2025 Wan said that given Binance Wallet’s functionality, which makes it a “meme farming engine” and has millions of daily users, it is rather a funnel than just a wallet. She noted that CEX wallets serve as an on-ramp for many newcomers, and the centralized Binance Wallet achieved great results while working “against a decentralized ethos.”  She elaborated further that the need to undergo a KYC procedure to use Binance Wallet streamlines liquidity towards Binance while unlocking all the Binance-curated services for users. What is Binance Alpha? Binance Alpha is a platform within Binance Wallet. The platform helps to look for fresh cryptocurrency projects that offer airdrops and squeeze their profits out. Through Binance Alpha, users may profit from the tokens not listed on Binance Exchange. Binance Alpha was introduced in December 2024, amidst the nascent memecoin craze.  Read more:Binance Wallet unveils Binance Alpha to highlight emerging projects Binance Alpha highlights the early-stage projects that already have notable traction in the Web3 space. The platform allows users to buy tokens instantly at favorable rates during 24-hour windows. After purchasing, the tokens are available on the Alpha account. Binance Alpha Points that Binance users earn for completing some tasks or reaching specific achievements can be exchanged for participation in an airdrop of choice or a token generation event. To ensure that users won’t miss interesting projects, each one is announced beforehand via Binance’s social media accounts, and the countdown clock is attached. According to the Binance announcement, the tokens are picked by the exchange’s experienced team of experts who consider strong community interest and consistent growth. Why did it get criticized? The very fact that Binance Alpha offers its users the opportunity to benefit from already trending projects is problematic for those who helped to make these projects trending–the community behind these early-stage tokens. Critics point out that it allows people who had nothing to do with the project to get more rewards than those who dedicated their time to finding out the project’s weak spots in the testnet period. According to a Web3 enthusiast using a satyaa moniker on X, the problem with Binance Alpha is that this platform violates the decentralization principles, monopolizes the airdrop market, and most importantly, allows “token tourists” to get the most out of airdrops.  On May 14, 2025, satyaa shared the first post that read:  “Grind testnet for months. Give feedback. Squash bugs.  Wait for that sweet airdrop…   Binance Alpha: walks in last minute and gets the fat slice of the pie. damn..” The post found relative support from the crypto X, with many people responding to the post with the hashtag #StopBinanceAlpha. On May 15, satyaa shared another post. This time, he tagged Binance-related accounts on X and called his rant “an open letter from a community member and believer of decentralization.” 🟡 Dear @BinanceWallet @binance @_RichardTengAre You Building Crypto Monopoly or Just Killing Early Communities?This is an open letter from a community member, and believer of decentralization. And I’m not the only one feeling this. Many of us are mad and we need to talk.… https://t.co/BAqCAewqC7— satyaa (@satyaXBT) May 15, 2025 In the post that gained 7,000 retweets, satyaa likened the actions of Binance to a monopoly and referred to them as “extraction.” Here’s how he described the situation: “Oh, you completed testnet quests before it was cool? Posted threads, memes, brought in new users, ran Discord community nights? Congrats. You get diluted by people who just joined for one Alpha snapshot. This is not crypto. This is a game of pay-to-play, burn-to-earn, and pay-for-allocation. Even worse? The Alpha Points requirement keeps increasing. The fees keep climbing.” He said it is not Web3 and blamed Binance for caring mostly about how to impress venture capitalists. He said that the “real alpha” are the loyal users who help the project when no one else cares: “alpha points don’t build loyalty.” One of the X users responding to this post tried to defend Binance Alpha, saying that it helped them to earn more money than they were trying to earn as a usual community member. However, this standpoint found little support in the comment section, more loyal to the grassroots stance of satyaa.  Another user pointed out that the lack of rewards for the community is rather the project’s fault, not Binance’s. The counterpoint to it was the lack of awareness from the side of Binance, which just decided to profit from new projects, whatever it takes. I understand you as a mediator thank you, but this controversy was created by binance itself who, without thinking long and only thought of reaping their own huge profits without thinking about what web3 really is— Retrofit | (Ø,G) Seismic (@Jono38003) May 15, 2025 Some ironically criticize Binance Alpha for encouraging its users to pay for airdrops (with Binance Alpha Points), which are normally free. However, it is far from being the main concern. Lol. So we now basically buy the airdrop with alpha points..— Greatness (@iamgr8nesss) May 12, 2025 As of press time, Binance hasn’t responded to this debate.

H.C. Wainwright, one of the most prestigious financial firms in the U.S., upgraded Galaxy Digital’s price target to $39. Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital Holdings is riding high ahead of its uplisting on Nasdaq. On Wednesday, May 14, financial firm H.C. Wainwright reaffirmed its Buy rating on Galaxy Digital, raising its price target from $30 to $39. The crypto financial services and AI infrastructure firm, owned by billionaire Mike Novogratz, currently trades at $32.09 per share. The decision came despite underwhelming financial results for the first quarter of 2025, when the firm posted a $295 million net loss. These were, as H.C. Wainwright explained, partially due to challenging macro conditions for crypto firms. However, the financial firm pointed to strong potential for growth in the short term, as well as the upcoming listing on Nasdaq, set for May 16. So far, Galaxy Digital has been listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

在美国贸易紧张局势升级和市场不确定性加剧的背景下，美国现货比特币交易所交易基金在 3 月前两周录得超过 16 亿美元的净流出。 根据 SoSoValue 的数据，3 月前两周，12 只现货比特币 (BTC) ETF 的每周流出量分别为 7.9939 亿美元和 8.7039 亿美元，在此期间总流出量为 16.7 亿美元。 这些资金流出标志着连续第五周出现净流出，这些 ETF 的资金流出量超过 54 亿美元。相比之下，这些比特币 ETF 在 2025 年开局强劲，此前已吸引了超过 50 亿美元的投资。 According to data from Farside, most of the Bitcoin ETF withdrawals over the past two weeks came from Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw $508.4 million in net outflows. BlackRock’s IBIT wasn’t far behind, with investors pulling out $467.7 million. Other major outflows came from Grayscale’s GBTC and ARK 21Shares’ ARKB, which lost around $289 million and $231.8 million, respectively. Several other Bitcoin ETFs, including Invesco Galaxy’s BTCO, Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, Bitwise’s BITB, and WisdomTree’s BTCW, saw moderate outflows ranging from $51 million to $108 million. Meanwhile, Valkyrie’s BRRR, Grayscale’s mini Bitcoin Trust, and VanEck’s HODL experienced only minor withdrawals, with outflows staying under $15 million. 你可能还喜欢：彭博分析师称，尽管流入量下降，但比特币 ETF 仍保留了 95% 的资本 比特币 ETF 的稳定资金流出似乎与比特币近期的价格下跌有关。过去一个月，BTC 下跌了 14%，一度跌至 77,000 美元的低点。据 SoSoValue 称，机构投资者在此期间更加谨慎，导致比特币现货 ETF 的总净资产下降 21.7%，目前为 932.5 亿美元。 分析师表示，比特币最近的下跌是由于更广泛的经济担忧，尤其是对特朗普贸易关税和市场整体不确定性的担忧。 随着投资者趋于谨慎，黄金等传统资产正受到青睐。尤其是黄金 ETF 受到越来越多的关注，目前其管理的总资产规模已超过比特币 ETF。 Experts weigh in Commenting on the recent bearish trend in Bitcoin ETFs, Fakhul Miah, director of GoMining Institutional, told crypto.news that Bitcoin’s recent drop below $80,000 for the second time this year has reinforced its status as a “high-risk asset.” “当前的环境带来了额外的复杂性。消费者价格指数 (CPI) 读数的上升维持了美联储的鹰派立场，使借贷成本居高不下，并降低了市场流动性。这种动态继续对比特币等投机性资产造成压力，这些资产对货币政策的变化高度敏感。” 该专家还指出，北美贸易紧张局势和整体经济不确定性正在动摇投资者信心，使得进一步抛售的可能性更大。 与此同时，TYMIO 创始人 Georgii Verbitskii 指出，比特币 ETF 的资金流出一直在放缓，并指出，“与 2 月底和 3 月初的较大抛售压力相比，上周五的资金流出相对较小。”这表明，最近的抛售更多是对过去波动的反应，而不是长期退出的开始。 他补充说，市场目前处于“脆弱的平衡”状态。如果纳斯达克指数稳定下来，VIX（波动率指数）降温，那么到本周末，ETF 流入量可能会转为正值。 Varbitskii 的结论是，负面势头的消退暗示着逆转可能即将到来——“只要更广泛的市场条件保持有利。” 与此同时，Reown 首席执行官 Jess Houlgrave 认为，引发市场逆转的潜在诱因可能是 Lumis 的《比特币法案》，该法案引起了广泛关注。不过，她表示，所有市场情绪的改善可能取决于关税战的解决。 阅读更多：分析师警告称，比特币价格回升至 10 万美元可能引发获利回吐
