The cryptocurrency market has experienced significant volatility recently, with Bitcoin rapidly declining, leading to substantial liquidation losses. Asset prices are highly polarized, with traditional safe-haven assets actually rising. A tech stock bubble is emerging, and soaring raw material prices are intensifying inflationary pressures. The current risk points differ from 2008; it is necessary to reduce risk exposure and review investment structures, while maintaining liquidity to cope with future challenges.

What is USDT? Why is it important to choose the right wallet
Tether (USDT), as the most mature stablecoin in the market, is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and features a stable value. This makes many traders use it as a safe haven asset, holding it temporarily during cryptocurrency volatility. Unlike other digital assets with dramatic price swings, USDT provides traders with a relatively secure store of value, and as a result, it has become one of the most traded tokens on exchanges.
However, the security of USDT ultimately depends on the type of storage tool you choose. Picking the right wallet means your assets are safer; choosing the wrong one could expose you to risks like private key leaks or phishing attacks.
Wallet Types: How to Classify Them
Based on security levels and usage scenarios, USDT storage solutions are mainly divided into the following categories:
Cold Wallets (Hardware Wallets): Fully offline storage, isolated from the internet, minimizing the risk of hacking

The article emphasizes the importance of Ethereum's token burn mechanism for its long-term value. Burn addresses permanently remove ETH from circulation, affecting the token's scarcity and market supply. A portion of transaction fees is burned, creating a deflationary effect and balancing network congestion through a self-regulating mechanism. Blockchain explorers can be used to query burn data, reflecting the network's activity level and the dynamic balance of the economic model.

When it comes to crypto assets, many people tend to confuse Tokens and Coins. In fact, these two concepts have fundamental differences, and understanding the meaning of Token in Chinese is crucial for investment decisions.
What exactly is a Token in Chinese?
In Chinese context, Token is usually translated as "令牌" (token), "通行證" (pass), or "代幣" (token), essentially representing a digital right or certificate issued on an existing blockchain. Unlike Coins that are built on their own blockchain, Tokens are attached to an existing public chain ecosystem. The most typical example is various assets issued on Ethereum. Since Ethereum launched the ERC-20 standard in 2015, anyone can quickly issue their own Token, which explains why the number of Tokens in today's market far exceeds that of Coins.
Simply put, if a Coin is a standalone digital currency, then a Token

The RMB has recently rebounded strongly against the US dollar, with offshore and onshore exchange rates rising. This is mainly influenced by the weakening of the US dollar, the central bank's guidance for appreciation, and the year-end settlement concentration effect. Multiple institutions expect the RMB to continue appreciating in 2026, attracting international capital inflows. The key factor depends on the economic dynamics between the US and China.

In stock investing, Head and Shoulders Top and Head and Shoulders Bottom are two classic technical analysis patterns. Many investors rely on these chart patterns to determine when a stock price has peaked or bottomed out, thereby deciding when to buy or sell. However, how exactly are these patterns formed? And how should they be applied in actual trading? Understanding their principles is crucial.
Head and Shoulders Top: The Key to Identifying a Top Signal
What is the Head and Shoulders Top Pattern?
The Head and Shoulders Top consists of three relatively high points—left shoulder, head, and right shoulder. This pattern indicates that the stock price has reached a peak and is about to face downward pressure. When the price fails to break through the previous high during the second rise, this pattern gradually forms.
The left shoulder is the first high point reached during the initial upward move. After reaching this point, profit-taking selling pressure emerges, causing some investors to exit. However, there are still buyers optimistic about the future market. At this time, trading volume increases, and the stock price slightly declines to the neckline—this line becomes a critical support level.

Now is a good time to exchange for Japanese Yen
The TWD to JPY exchange rate continues to rise, reaching 4.85 in December 2025. Compared to 4.46 at the beginning of the year, it has appreciated by over 8% in just one year. For investors considering capital allocation, this opportunity is worth seizing. In contrast, the volatility of MYR to TWD exchange rates is relatively stable, and the volatility of JPY has become a tool for arbitrage and hedging.
According to market observations, Taiwan's foreign currency exchange demand in the second half of the year has increased by about 25% compared to the same period last year. The driving forces come from three aspects: the recovery of travel to Japan, asset hedging strategies, and some investors' optimistic expectations of Yen appreciation.
Why choose Yen as an asset allocation?
Everyday Life Aspects
Many people exchange for Yen purely for traveling abroad. Japanese retail cash transactions still account for the majority (credit card penetration rate about 60%). If travelers to Japan want to shop easily in Tokyo Shibuya, Osaka Dotonbori, or Hokkaido snowfields,

The Japanese Yen Investment Boom Rebounds, But Is It Really Worth It?
By the end of 2025, the TWD to JPY exchange rate will reach around 4.85, up approximately 8.7% from 4.46 at the beginning of the year, sparking a new wave of yen exchange demand. However, many people are unaware that choosing the wrong exchange channels can eat up thousands of TWD in spread and fees. Instead of blindly following the trend, it's better to understand the true costs of various exchange methods before deciding on the most suitable strategy.
Why has the Japanese Yen become a new favorite among Taiwanese investors?
Multiple Daily Life Needs
The use of the yen in daily life goes far beyond expectations. When traveling to Japan, merchants in Tokyo's shopping districts and Hokkaido ski resorts still primarily use cash transactions (credit card penetration is only 60%), which means preparing sufficient yen cash is still necessary. Additionally, those purchasing Japanese cosmetics, clothing, or anime merchandise, as well as students planning long-term studies in Japan, need to plan their exchange timing in advance.

Geopolitical tensions and rising inflation have made gold the preferred safe-haven asset. Investors can choose different gold investment methods based on long-term preservation or short-term trading goals, including physical gold, paper gold, gold ETFs, futures, and CFDs. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages; the key is to find the right entry point and implement proper risk management.

Short selling stocks refers to the investment strategy of predicting a stock's decline, selling first and buying later to profit from the price difference. In Taiwan's stock market, opening a margin account is required for short selling, while CFDs offer more flexibility. When choosing a trading platform, focus on security, trading costs, and ease of use. Stocks suitable for short selling should have clear reasons for decline, and their overvaluation and potential drop should be assessed. During operation, enter at relatively high points, prefer short-term trading, ensure stop-loss settings, and allocate funds reasonably. Short selling carries higher risks, so discipline is necessary to protect capital and achieve steady growth.

Many investors who trade US stocks are unfamiliar with US stock futures but want to gain a deeper understanding of this market. This article will help you systematically grasp the core knowledge of US stock futures, from basic concepts to actual trading.
What is a futures contract? Let's start with the simplest example.
Futures, in plain terms, are a buy-sell agreement—you and the seller agree to exchange a certain asset at a price agreed upon today, on a future date.
Using oil as an example makes it easiest to understand: if you lock in the purchase of oil at $80 per barrel for three months from now, regardless of whether the oil price rises to $90 or falls to $70 at that time, you only need to transact at $80. This is the core logic of futures.
The principle of US stock futures is the same, except that the commodity is replaced with a stock index. When you trade US futures index-related contracts, you are essentially investing in the future prices of a basket of US stocks. For example, purchasing the Nasdaq 100.

Recently, the AUD/USD has performed strongly, reaching a new high of 0.6727 on December 29, with the currency appreciating by a total of 8.4%. The main reasons are the widening policy divergence between the US and Australian central banks and the strength of the commodity markets. The market is optimistic about the outlook for the Australian dollar, predicting that it may continue to appreciate in the future, especially as economic data releases and interest rate decisions in January and February will become key influencing factors.

The Bank of Japan announced last Friday a 25 basis point rate hike to 0.75%, reaching a 30-year high. This should have boosted the yen's value, but an unexpected reverse trend occurred—USD/JPY did not fall but instead rose, breaking through the 157.43 level, showcasing a classic "profit-taking" rally. Behind this is approximately 500 billion USD of open yen arbitrage positions, testing the credibility boundaries of global central bank policies.
Liquidity Dilemma: Who is Putting the "Cold Storage" on Rate Hikes?
The market's tepid response masks a "cowardly game" revolving around borrowing costs. Even though the Bank of Japan has raised rates to 0.75%, compared to over 4.5% in USD interest rates, arbitrage opportunities still exist. Data from Morgan Stanley indicates that about 500 billion USD of yen arbitrage positions remain open worldwide, with capital borrowing cheap yen to invest in US tech stocks, emerging markets, and cryptocurrencies.
