Will BTC Price Reach $100,000? Insights from Industry Leaders

On-chain data indicates that the amount of BTC held by long-term holders has reached a short-term low and is beginning to accumulate again. Historical data suggests that during periods of BTC price decline or slow growth, the supply held by long-term holders tends to accumulate. When BTC prices rise rapidly, long-term holders start distributing their holdings to make profits. When a new round of accumulation begins, BTC prices will rise again until the supply held by long-term holders reaches a short-term bottom, indicating that BTC has also reached a short-term peak at the current price.  The supply of long-term and short-term holders is defined based on the average purchase date of entities, with weights given by a logarithmic function centered on the age of 155 days and a transition width of 10 days.Future BTC Trends: Industry Experts Insights  Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of FX and Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank:  Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of FX and Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated on Thursday, “As the U.S. election approaches, I expect Bitcoin to reach $100,000. If Trump wins, it will reach $150,000 by the end of the year. The Biden administration has shown pragmatism recently by approving an Ethereum spot

Quick Insight into Binance Megadrop's Second Project: Lista DAO

On May 23rd, Binance announced the second project on its Megadrop platform—Lista (LISTA). Lista is a liquidity-staking stablecoin protocol based on the BNB chain, which has sparked significant interest within the crypto community.Binances New Token Issuance Model—Megadrop  Megadrop, Binances innovative token issuance platform, integrates Binance Simple Earn and Binance Web3 Wallet, offering users a fresh way to earn rewards. Users participate by completing tasks specified by project teams via the Binance Web3 Wallet and locking BNB for points accumulation, determining their share of airdrop rewards based on these points. The Megadrop points mechanism allocates airdrop rewards based on the proportion of points held by individual users among all eligible participants.

Users can participate in both Megadrop and Launchpool simultaneously, enjoying different staking mechanisms and rewards. While Launchpool primarily serves BNB holders, Megadrop aims not only to serve BNB holders but also to promote the Binance Web3 Wallet. Users must have an active Binance wallet and complete project tasks from the wallet interface to receive airdropped tokens. This not only expands the use cases for the Web3 Wallet but

Why Are Institutions Withdrawing VASP License Applications in Hong Kong?

In the past, amid tightening global crypto regulations, Hong Kongs open stance made it a magnet for crypto enthusiasts, earning it the title of a crypto hub. As Hong Kong moved toward a compliant framework, its policies caught the eye of many in Southeast Asia. Its openness positioned Hong Kong as a trailblazer in crypto compliance.  On June 1, 2023, the “Guidelines for Virtual Asset Trading Platform Operators” came into effect, allowing these operators to apply for licenses. Initially, many institutions were enthusiastic. However, recently, several have been withdrawing their applications. So, which platforms are pulling out, and why is the once-favored crypto hub losing its appeal?Multiple Institutions Withdrawing License Applications  The transitional period for licensing Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) in Hong Kong ends on May 31, 2024. The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) will then decide if existing providers can continue operating. As of now, according to the SFCs official website, 10 institutions, including VAEX, OKX HK, and Huobi HK, have withdrawn their exchange license applications.  Currently, only two institutions have been officially licensed by the SFC as virtual asset trading platform operators, while 18 others are still in the application process.Reasons Behind the Withdrawals  Industry insiders point to high compliance costs

Industry Experts' Perspectives on the Market Outlook Following the Approval of the ETH ETF

On May 24, it was reported that the SEC officially approved several Ethereum spot ETF 19b-4 forms. According to SEC documents, the SEC approved the 19b-4 forms for spot Ethereum ETFs from multiple issuers, including BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale.  Note: The 19b-4 form and the S-1 form are two key steps in the SECs approval process for new financial products such as Ethereum spot ETFs. Approval of the 19b-4 form grants preliminary listing permission, while approval of the S-1 form completes all reviews and allows formal trading.  Therefore, it is important to note:  Currently, only the 19b-4 forms have been approved; the S-1 form is still required to officially commence trading. The specific opening date for trading needs to be monitored.  Grayscale Trust holds 2.9352 million ETH and has a negative premium, which may exert sell pressure on the market.WikiBit Analyst View  WikiBit analysts believe that ETH will experience a period of sideways movement followed by a sustained upward trend.

Additionally, Grayscale charges high management fees, significantly higher than competitors. Therefore, once Grayscale opens
