According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, Arthur Hayes transferred a total of 3 million USDC to the OTC trading platforms Flowdesk and Galaxy Digital about 10 minutes ago.Half a month ago, Hayes had liquidated various altcoins worth at least 49.25 million dollars and stated that he planned to wait for further price declines before buying again. Since then, the prices of the tokens he previously sold have dropped by about 15% to 30%. This recent transfer of USDC has sparked market speculation about his possible preparations to buy back in, but the specific use of the funds and buying plans have not yet been confirmed.

According to Web3 developer brucexu.eth, he encountered a phishing scam involving fake recruitment in January this year. After using Cursor to open the project directory provided by the other party, his device was infected with a Trojan, but ultimately there was no asset loss.He stated that the attacker provided a code repository through the recruitment process; he initially thought it was safe to just view the code without running it, but after analyzing the sample, Yu Xian, the founder of Slow Mist, warned that opening the project directory could also trigger malicious code. After confirming the infection, he transferred assets, rotated credentials, and reinstalled the system.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated that the trading process is not easy. Previously, while maintaining a bullish outlook, the market experienced multiple corrections; after the price rose to $86,000, he insisted on looking for corrections, during which there were also several rebounds, even reaching $87,000. In the past month, the price has repeatedly fallen back to the $80,000 to $81,000 range before quickly rebounding to the key position of $84,000.He emphasized that both the rise and the correction are not linear, and one should not always think about trading, but rather adhere to the principle of "looking for corrections without shorting," patiently waiting for the best bottom-fishing opportunity. He mentioned that he founded and manages three different funds, focusing on cryptocurrency investment, cryptocurrency trading, and AI technology, with cryptocurrency trading being the most challenging, described as "a practice against human nature." He raised the question of whether investors will still have the confidence to bottom-fish in the face of the upcoming extreme panic, which is worth contemplating.Regarding the future market, he views what he calls Buffett being trapped in Google and Duan Yongping being trapped in Pop Mart as a temporary phenomenon, and believes that AI will continue to create miracles, monetary expansion will not stop, and high-quality AI stocks and cryptocurrency assets remain his favored trend direction.

Jameson Lopp, co-founder and Chief Security Officer of the Bitcoin self-custody service provider Casa, posted on X that a new type of Google phishing technique has emerged, where attackers abuse Google's own infrastructure to send emails. He stated that if users click on the goo.gl link in the email, they will be directed to a phishing login page, and he attached relevant email screenshots in the post.The post was published on October 29. Below the post, some users mentioned that they have reported similar situations to Google multiple times but have not received a response; other users stated that this technique is used in conjunction with calls that appear to be from Google and caller ID.

Regarding the incident of Binance allegedly being hacked, there are opinions suggesting that hackers may have exploited the Ethereum EIP-7702 mechanism to control wallets and transfer funds. User 0xVEER stated that developer 0xjustadev had warned about such a situation during the EIP-7702 discussion approximately two years ago. Currently, it has not been officially confirmed by Binance whether this incident is indeed related to EIP-7702; the aforementioned content is merely a community opinion.The attached screenshot shows that in October 2024, a developer pointed out in the Ethereum community forum discussion thread on EIP-7702 (Set EOA account code) that phishing techniques at that time mainly revolved around EIP-712 signatures, which were relatively readable and easier to simulate. The proposal could potentially allow attackers to transfer all valuable assets, including native tokens, through signatures that are less readable and harder to simulate. The developer also expressed concern that wallets might adopt highly centralized contract signature whitelists as a result, constituting a regression in security and decentralization.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua posted that the current Bitcoin trend represents the third wave of decline since the peak of 1011. According to volatility theory and cyclical patterns, this may be the final major drop.Yi Lihua pointed out that the main influencing factors for this round of decline include the performance of the U.S. stock market and Strategy, while closely monitoring the Federal Reserve's response to CPI data to see if it will change interest rate cut or hike expectations, which could trigger a continued pullback in the U.S. stock market. Additionally, black swan or explosive events often occur at the tail end of past bear markets, which have not yet appeared and still require ongoing observation.He believes that based on Bitcoin's peak of $126,000, a 60% drop would bring it down to about $51,000, and a 66% drop would bring it down to about $43,000. Regardless of where the final bottom lies, July and August may be the last bottoming area of this cycle and the most noteworthy time window for bottom fishing in the next three years.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated on social media, "The war is confirmed to be over, there is no insider information, and neither side has a reason to continue fighting. We will take profits wherever the rebound stops and observe as we go.This year's cryptocurrency market is very similar to 2019, with a cliff-like drop in secondary liquidity, almost no confidence in primary investments, and Web3 companies laying off large numbers of employees, with industry personnel switching careers. Be greedy when others are fearful; this year is definitely the best time for secondary bottom-fishing and primary investment, similar to 2019. Institutions that bottomed out in the secondary market and invested in the primary market in 2019 were the biggest winners in the 2020 bull market, and we are working hard to do these two things well."

According to Bloomberg, after gold prices experienced the largest sell-off in years, bargain buyers have started to enter the gold market. As of Thursday's close, gold prices had fallen 19% from the closing peak in January, approaching the 20% threshold that traditionally marks the beginning of a bear market. However, by Friday, buyers re-entered the market, pushing gold prices up by about 3%.George Efstathopoulos, a fund manager at Fidelity International, stated that this pullback presents a buying opportunity once tensions in the Middle East subside. Inflation risks, fiscal pressures, and bond credit issues remain structural positives for gold. Analysts also pointed out that the Iran conflict could trigger central banks to sell gold, or at least slow down their purchasing pace. Daniel Ghali, a commodity strategist at TD Securities, believes that given that central banks have been cornerstone buyers in this bull market, large-scale direct selling would have a more immediate impact on prices and a more destructive effect on market sentiment. However, for now, the broader trend may be a gradual slowing of central bank gold purchases rather than a complete shift to selling.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated: "In the short term, the war will not end, and the market is waiting for further clarity on the war. However, there will definitely be a great bottom-fishing opportunity this year, so prepare as much capital as possible before that. Aside from the crypto industry, I have been working hard to learn AI recently and have been deeply shocked, especially by the efficiency of commanding AI to work. This is not just a simple improvement in efficiency; it is a direct leap from the era of horse-drawn carriages to the era of airplanes.I require all companies I invest in to immediately learn to use A and embrace AI. In the future, companies that do not use AI will be eliminated. Today, because of AI, all companies and individuals are basically starting from the same starting line. Another great wave is coming, and my requirement for myself this year is to spend half of my time working in collaboration with AI."

The Chief Information Security Officer of Slow Fog Technology, 23pds, issued a reminder stating that ClawHub developers should be aware of phishing and credential leakage risks. Currently, ClawHub relies on developers' GitHub one-click login. Previously, the Sha1-Hulud worm stole a large number of developers' GitHub credentials, and attackers may take the opportunity to attack Skills.The attack path is: credential theft → attacker gains GitHub permissions → logs into ClawHub as a developer → publishes malicious Skills to implant backdoors → users download and install, executing malicious code leading to system intrusion.

According to data from Greeks.live, 116,000 BTC options will expire this Friday, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.76, a maximum pain point of $75,000, and a nominal value of $7.9 billion. 206,000 ETH options will also expire this Friday, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.77, a maximum pain point of $2,200, and a nominal value of $980 million.Greeks.live analyst Adam stated that the current cryptocurrency market remains sluggish, with the entire February trend weakly oscillating above $60,000. Tomorrow, options representing 20% of the total open interest will expire, totaling nearly $9 billion, with Bitcoin's open interest reaching a peak in recent years. Thanks to a rebound in the past two days, the implied volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum has increased this week, with BTC's main expiry IV at 47% and ETH's main expiry IV at 65%. The downward price trend has eased somewhat, but market confidence is still lacking.In terms of trading, large bullish options dominate the market, with a significant amount of medium to long-term bullish trades following yesterday's rebound. From the main options data, the Skew has also rebounded comprehensively, indicating a bottom-fishing force in the market. Adam added that the market is still in a bear phase, with no new funds entering the cryptocurrency space and no obvious hotspots, while pessimistic sentiments are prevalent on social media, suggesting that bottom panic may not have arrived yet.

According to Bloomberg, Coinbase's stock price rebounded the day after the release of its weak quarterly earnings report. Some bottom-fishing funds believe that the market has already fully priced in the negative factors, and the crypto market may be approaching a temporary bottom.The earnings report shows that the company's trading volume has weakened and trading revenue is under pressure, highlighting its performance's high sensitivity to fluctuations in digital asset prices and retail trading activity. Previously, affected by the overall weakening sentiment in the crypto market, Coinbase's stock price had fallen for several consecutive weeks and had significantly corrected before the earnings report was released. Market analysts believe that, with expectations having been downgraded and positions becoming more defensive, some investors chose to buy on dips, driving the stock price to stabilize and rebound in the short term.
