On April 25, recently, long-standing declining cryptocurrencies have shown a rotating upward trend, with APE achieving a miraculous doubling overnight without any positive news. Notably, on-chain analysts quickly identified suspected insider trading activities related to APE, where a user made a precise long and short operation with only $170,000, achieving a 14-fold return on APE the previous night. Various signs indicate that there is a high degree of similarity in the trading strategies behind these recent market movements, where market makers profit from long-term declining tokens through highly controlled operations and leverage significant price fluctuations in the contract market using funding rate tools. According to crypto KOL Crypto Fearless, during the recent Hong Kong conference, a proactive market maker named HSBG became a hot topic, reportedly profiting over $120 million just by manipulating the RIVER project. It is said that this market maker has a level of influence over project teams comparable to that of centralized exchanges (CEX), even able to manipulate token unlocking schedules. As of the time of publication, several cryptocurrencies, including AXS and HYPER, continue to experience rotating increases. BlockBeats believes that participating in such market movements is akin to 'playing with fire,' carrying significant risks; users should exercise extreme caution and maintain strict control over their positions if they choose to participate.

On April 25, according to a report by Iran's Mehr News Agency, Iranian Islamic Parliament member Behnam Saidi stated that Iran has developed a comprehensive plan for managing the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with Mehr News Agency, Saidi mentioned that an important aspect of this plan is the exclusive recognition of the name 'Persian Gulf' in all correspondence and commercial documents, rejecting any other names. Vessels and ships navigating in the region must obtain permission from Iran. Sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz will be entirely under Iran's control. He also stated that vessels identified as hostile by the Supreme National Security Council or the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran are not allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and Israeli vessels are absolutely prohibited from entering the area. Ships passing through the region must pay relevant fees concerning safety, environmental protection, shipping management, and licensing, with priority given to payments in rials.

On April 25, Brazilian authorities took action to ban 27 prediction market platforms, including Kalshi and Polymarket. According to new regulations, contracts related to sports, politics, entertainment, or social activities are prohibited, as authorities believe these contracts are more akin to gambling than financial investment. Only contracts linked to economic indicators such as inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, or commodity prices are allowed and will be subject to financial market regulation. This crackdown stems from Resolution No. 5.298 issued by the Brazilian National Monetary Council (CMN) on Friday, which will take effect in early May and significantly restrict the scope of services offered by prediction market platforms.

On April 25, Fu Peng, the newly appointed chief economist of New Fire Group, published a series of tweets on platform X, dissecting what he sees as the underlying logic of Bitcoin. Fu stated that the underlying business models of Bitcoin perpetual contracts and ETFs are essentially the same as the 'deferred fees/overnight fees' in traditional finance's gold/commodity spot exchanges. They represent a stable cash flow model where large holders maintain long positions to collect rent, while retail investors engage in leveraged buying, effectively paying rent, with platforms indirectly profiting. Large-scale spot holders are not merely speculating on price increases; they act like 'landlords': maintaining long positions and using hedging strategies to collect funding fees, continuously reducing their holding costs. As long as their positions do not shrink, the longer they hold, the lower their costs become, achieving almost 'zero or even negative costs.' 'Many people mistakenly believe that large holders are only shorting; in fact, they are the landlords collecting rent. The premiums and discounts of CME Bitcoin futures essentially reflect the market's pricing of these holding costs/rents, consistent with the logic of spot warehouse receipts, financing, and delivery from years past.' BlockBeats believes that Fu's remarks are not an endorsement or condemnation of Bitcoin, but rather a narrative from the perspective of a hedge fund manager, illustrating Bitcoin's evolutionary journey: Bitcoin has evolved from a purely sentiment-driven speculative asset into a mature asset with structural positive yields (rents/funding rates), akin to gold and commodities. Large holders and platforms are the long-term beneficiaries of this game, while the long-term leveraged enthusiasm of retail investors essentially amounts to paying rent to others.
