The market has once again proven the textbook wrong. The Bank of Japan is preparing the biggest rate hike in thirty years, and everyone is eager to buy the dip—yet the yen didn't rise but fell instead. Bitcoin surged past 86,000 in one go, and institutions even slashed their cash holdings to historic lows. The plot has completely reversed.
Thinking carefully, the logic behind this is quite sobering: what truly causes market tremors is never the "facts" that have already happened, but the unresolved "unknowns." When the rate hike finally lands, and the central bank says "no change for half a year," global capital collectively breathes a sigh of relief. Liquidity hasn't truly dried up; it's just been turned down a notch.
That's why some people make a fortune while others lose everything—whoever can see through the "expectation gap" holds the key to the game. Every word from the central bank is endlessly interpreted by the market, geopolitical conflicts can flip the rules at any moment, and in this noise, finding direction is like steering a ship through a storm.
So the question is: is there an asset that can escape the control of macroeconomic games? There definitely is. It doesn't rely on central bank promises, doesn't plunge along with risky assets, and more importantly, its value comes from on-chain verifiable mathematical logic, not a politician's speech. Decentralized stablecoins are becoming the representative of this new paradigm—offering rare certainty on a game table where expectation gaps frequently reverse.

The expected difference is indeed impressive, but to be honest, it's just a trick of information asymmetry. Those institutions have already mastered the rhythm, while retail investors are still debating what the central bank will say.

The expected difference is really the key to making money, but sometimes the opposite expected difference can also catch people off guard.

The moment the expected gap is shattered, institutional cash positions directly hit historic lows... Isn't this the standard signal before a leverage liquidation? Truly bold.
