Last night was the first day of formal work in the United States, and the cryptocurrency circle welcomed a new breakthrough: Bitcoin broke through the $100,000 mark, while the inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs reached 9,951 units, and Ethereum spot ETFs attracted a capital inflow of 35,400 units.
However, the performance of centralized secondary trading markets is relatively lackluster. For example, a target with a rise of around 10% on Binance can easily rank among the top two, which actually means that it's hard to achieve significant returns by investing in these markets. Therefore, if you are operating in the secondary market, try to avoid picking up those newly issued coins.
On-chain targets show more opportunities, and the hottest recently is undoubtedly the AI-related Aiagent project. Even if you are not very familiar with on-chain operations, many of these projects can now be purchased through the Zhima platform. However, the risks of on-chain projects are relatively high, and these project prices have already shown a significant increase recently. If you are considering whether to enter, it is best to do your own homework. If you are keen on trading, remember that real opportunities often lie among popular on-chain targets, rather than 'fishing' in places with no liquidity. Personally, I usually do not consider projects with a market cap of over 500 million unless they can get listed on Binance, as this could push the market cap to 1 billion.
One of the recent trading opportunities is the possibility of Trump coming to power. Projects related to Trump have started to surge recently. If you want to purchase such targets, try to choose projects with high trading volumes and sell before they surge or before Trump comes to power.
In terms of meme coins, the increases for coins like Dogecoin and Pepe are very small. Nevertheless, there are reports that Twitter may adopt Dogecoin as a payment method. If the price of Dogecoin is driven up, other mainstream meme coins may also see a wave of upward opportunities.
As for the DeFi sector, the increase is still limited, mainly because the price of ETH has not broken through $4,000 and hasn't even stabilized above $3,700. Therefore, there is currently little interest in ETH from funds, and projects related to staking and decentralized exchanges have not been hyped. Any Ethereum-related targets must rise based on the price increase of Ethereum.
The opportunities mentioned above are relatively obvious and apparent, but it is important to note that although Binance's activities can yield annualized returns of 30%-68%, I do not participate myself, as staking BNB would lock up liquidity, and I prefer to sell when prices are high, even if it’s just to earn 1-2 points. This approach may offer more flexibility than locked-up returns, and although uncertain, I prefer to actively give up some opportunities rather than follow the old path of most people.
