Recently, three events have emerged in the crypto world worth paying close attention to, each reflecting different dimensions of changes in the crypto market.

**Major Retail Giants Embrace Bitcoin**

One of the world's largest supermarket chains announced support for Bitcoin payments. Many people's first reaction was "Now I can buy groceries with virtual currency." But the real highlight isn't the convenience of payment itself, but the underlying shift in user perception it represents. This supermarket serves the broadest and most authentic consumer base globally—your neighbors, grandmothers, office workers. As Bitcoin gradually shifts from an investment asset and discussion topic to a default payment option, the market's imagination is being expanded. Once this mindset is established, the ceiling for the crypto asset market will be systematically raised.

**Potential Sell-off Chips Disappear**

The US froze 600,000 Bitcoins associated with a certain country's regime. What was the market most worried about before? It was the possibility that this large holding could suddenly flood the market. But the latest institutional analysis suggests that these assets are highly likely to remain frozen long-term, with near-zero probability of entering the market. Events that seem negative actually eliminate the greatest potential selling pressure hanging over the market. From another perspective, it’s akin to an extra "invisible reduction" in supply during this cycle—the circulating supply is directly locked up. Against the backdrop of the halving cycle, this has a significant impact on the medium- and long-term supply and demand landscape.

**Trading Competition Has Upgraded to Tool Warfare**

This year's hot prediction markets are no longer just entertainment venues but are now trading platforms that reflect real market expectations. Overseas traders are now using AI systems to monitor abnormal bets, capital concentration, and odds changes in real-time, using these clues to reverse-engineer the development direction of yet-unpublicized events. This indicates that the dimension of market competition is upgrading—from competing in information acquisition to competing in computing power and tools. Diligence and observation are no longer enough; you need faster calculation and detection capabilities.
