- 00:47CryptoQuant: Significant Increase in Large Holder Deposits to Exchanges During Bitcoin Price DropAccording to ChainCatcher, citing The Block, on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant pointed out that after bitcoin's price fell below $80,000 last week, the amount of bitcoin transferred by whales to exchanges surged. Data shows that the daily inflow to exchanges reached 9,000 BTC, with 45% coming from large deposits of over 100 BTC in a single transaction, a proportion described as "abnormally high." The average single deposit in November soared from 0.6 BTC to 1.23 BTC, marking a new high for the past year. On one exchange platform, the average single deposit even increased from 12 BTC at the beginning of the month to 37 BTC recently. CryptoQuant noted that this further confirms the view that "whales are reducing their bitcoin holdings through exchanges," and in the context of the current price correction, investor selling continues to put pressure on the market. Other major assets have also seen active exchange activity. Although the total inflow of Ethereum has not increased significantly, the proportion of large deposits has risen. As the price of Ethereum fell to around $2,900, the average daily single deposit reached 41.7 ETH, hitting a nearly three-year high. In terms of altcoins, since July, the daily number of transactions transferred to exchanges has consistently exceeded 40,000, with a peak of 78,000 transactions on October 17.
- 00:47Tether CEO responds to S&P's downgrade of USDT rating, saying the fragility of the old system is making those in power uneasyChainCatcher News, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino responded to S&P's latest rating of Tether by saying, "We are proud to be hated by you." Paolo Ardoino pointed out that traditional rating systems have long guided investors toward "investment-grade" institutions that ultimately collapsed, causing global regulators to question the independence of rating agencies. He stated that the traditional financial system is unwilling to see any company break free from its "dysfunctional gravity," but Tether has built the industry's first over-capitalized, toxic asset-free, and consistently highly profitable company, proving that the fragility of the old system is making the "emperor's new clothes" style rulers uneasy.
- 00:38Opinion: Bitcoin's decline is related to Trump's drop in approval ratingsChainCatcher reported that Bitcoin critic and economist Paul Krugman stated in a blog post that the recent decline in Bitcoin (BTC) is not a coincidence, but is related to the drop in poll numbers for pro-cryptocurrency U.S. President Trump. Krugman wrote in his Substack article "The Trump Trade is Unraveling" that the sharp decline in Trump's poll numbers has had a negative impact on the price of Bitcoin. He believes that Trump had promised to support the digital asset industry and promote pro-cryptocurrency policies, so Bitcoin has essentially become a bet on "Trumpism." He added that President Trump's apparent loss of power has weakened his efforts to promote cryptocurrency, which in turn has affected the price of Bitcoin. Krugman has long been a critic of Bitcoin. He believes that Bitcoin is economically useless, neither a medium of payment nor a hedge against inflation, and behaves more like a highly volatile tech stock.
