The golden statue of United States President Donald Trump, dubbed ‘Don Colossus,’ has remained uninstalled since its creation. According to reports, the 15-foot-tall gold-leafed statue of the president is presently lying on its back at a sculpture studio in Ohio due to an outstanding balance in payments. The massive bronze figure, which is expected to stand about two stories tall once installed on a 6,000-pound base, shows a defiant Trump raising his fist in the air moments after he survived an assassination attempt during a rally in July 2024. Commissioned by cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and other backers of then-candidate Trump, the $360,000 statue has waited more than a year to be erected. And this is partially because the sculptor Alan Cottrill has yet to be paid the remainder of his fees. Why is the Trump golden statue uninstalled? According to Cottrill, he would simply not sign off on the statue’s erection without payment being made. The 73-year-old Cottrill claims he is not a fool to install it without getting his balance, noting that he is still owed about $92,000. The fate of the golden Trump statue reveals the volatile nature of deals in the crypto industry. While the statue is being dreamt up as a work of art showing the crypto industry’s support for the president, it has been consigned to financial purgatory. Cottrill alleges that after he was contracted to make the sculpture, the backers went behind his back to start using the art to promote a new digital asset called $PATRIOT. $PATRIOT is a meme coin that has no intrinsic value but capitalized on a cultural moment to build its price through market speculation and the building of a big community. The token went on sale in November 2024, garnering interest among Trump fans as he swept the United States presidential election. Trump’s close ties to the crypto sector have also spar

曾警告比特幣 (BTC) 將跌至 10,000 美元的彭博分析師，如今又對 XRP 發出警告！ ——另一位分析師預測 XRP 將達到 11,000 美元！

彭博社高級商品策略師 Mike McGlone 曾多次預測比特幣 (BTC) 將達到 1 萬美元，並多次向投資者發出警告。如今，他又對 XRP 發出警告。

Mike McGlone 警告稱，XRP 的價格可能跌破關鍵支撐位。

這位知名人士發出警告之際，正值加密貨幣市場整體回檔浪潮持續。隨著此次回調，XRP 進入關鍵階段，目前在 1.82 美元的支撐位附近交易，其價格走勢成為投資者和分析師的焦點。

鑑於比特幣和山寨幣自 10 月開始的回檔趨勢仍在持續，McGlone 預測 XRP 可能面臨更大幅度的下跌。

彭博分析師Mike McGlone表示，XRP即將再次測試1.82美元的價位，並強調如果價格持續收於該價位下方，則看漲的價格預測將失效，並可能導致進一步下跌。

雖然1.82美元並非隨意設定的價位，但它具有特殊的意義，因為自2025年11月的上漲行情以來，它一直是可靠的支撐位。

在XRP的看跌情境下，1.82美元的支撐位至關重要；反之，如果價格反彈至2.06美元上方，則可能預示著短期內價格將回升至2.35-2.50美元區間。

XRP正準備迎來一波強勁的上漲行情！

與之相反，化名CryptoBull的分析師指出，XRP目前在其歷史高點附近盤整，並表示：“價格走勢正在重現之前的牛市。”

CryptoBull指出，XRP價格上漲需要更長的累積期，並預測其價格可能在2美元附近盤整一段時間，之後才會大幅上漲。

該分析師補充道：“下一波上漲行情將推動XRP價格達到11美元，最後一波上漲行情將使其達到70美元。”

截至發稿時，XRP的交易價格為1.89美元。

荷兰众议院通过对未实现加密货币和投资收益征收36%税

荷兰众议院周四通过了一项法案，该法案将从2028年1月起从根本上改变该国对投资收益（包括加密资产收益）的征税方式。

这项名为《第三类实际收益法案》（Wet werkelijk rendement box 3）的法案，对股票、加密货币和债券等大多数资产征收资本增值税。

在新框架下，居民每年将按约36%的税率对其储蓄和投资的实际收益征税，即使这些资产并未出售。这意味着不仅收入需要缴税，资产增值（包括未实现收益）也需要缴税。

房地产和初创公司股份将适用不同的规则。对于这些资产，主要在实际产生利润时征税，即资本利得税。但是，来自这些资产的收入，例如租金或股息，仍将在收到当年征税。

 新系统引发了加密货币社区成员的强烈反对，他们警告称，这可能会迫使人们在现金不足以支付的情况下缴纳税款。

价格波动是另一个关键问题，尤其对于加密资产而言，因为税后账面利润可能被抹去。

议会批准了一项修正案，将审查期从五年缩短至三年。此举旨在以便在系统推行过程中遇到问题时能够更快地进行调整。

此外，由荷兰主要政党（D66、VVD 和 CDA）组成的联盟已表示计划最终转向资本利得税模式，预计将在 2028 年预算日之前提交立法草案。在该模式下，只有在出售资产时才需缴税，这将缓解现金流压力，但也会减少政府的短期收入。

Конференция в Гонконге принесла несколько важных новостей. Связанная с Трампом компания World Liberty Financial добилась значительного прогресса за последние несколько месяцев с момента своего запуска. Фактически, несмотря на то, что в последнее время цена WLFI находится на низком уровне, ее активность растет.

Сегодня об этом сообщает один из соучредителей, Зак Фолькман, который рассказал о предстоящем развитии WLFI. Во время конференции Consensus Hong Kong Фолькман заявил, что они запустят платформу обмена валюты (FOREX) под названием World Swap.

Эта биржа будет работать в рамках проекта стейблкоина WLFI, USDI. Хотя на мероприятии в Мар-а-Лаго в этом месяце ожидаются новые объявления, ясно, что на World Liberty Finance будет введена ликвидность. Увеличение активности для стейблкоина USD1

Это событие подкрепляет рост, который USD1 демонстрирует с момента своего запуска. Всего за 10 месяцев USD1 поднялся на пятое место среди стейблкоинов по рыночной капитализации, согласно данным CoinMarketCap.

WLFI может бросить вызов признанным эмитентам. На момент написания статьи USDT от Tether по-прежнему занимал первое место по капитализации с показателем в 184,6 млрд долларов, за ним следовал USDC от Circle с 73 млрд долларов. За ним следовали USDS от Sky Protocol (SKY) и USDe от Ethena.

USD1, похоже, близок к тому, чтобы перебить USDe, разница между их капитализациями составляет всего миллиард долларов. Такое развитие событий потребует увеличения предложения USD1, что приведет к росту предложения и, соответственно, рыночной капитализации.
Капитализация ничего не значит без реального использования. Однако активность USD1 действите

The head of the No. 1 crypto exchange said that this move is a reaction to some “recent revelations.”He was likely referring to a report by CoinDesk, which accessed Alameda’s balance sheet and discovered several interesting facts:FTT made up the majority of Alameda’s assetsAlameda had $6.1 billion in FTT on its balance sheet. This is at least $1 billion more than the circulating supply of tokens.Alameda’s other significant assets included SOL tokens – $863 million locked and $292 million unlocked.This meant that the ties between Alameda and FTX were much stronger than SBF claimed. And also that Alameda had user-owned FTT on its balance sheet.However, Bankman-Fried stated that FTX does not use client funds. By that time, the price of the FTT token had lost 83%, and SBF’s net asset value had fallen to $991 million.
