Greg Cipolaro, Head of Research at NYDIG, stated that Bitcoin's correlation with US stock markets (such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100) has recently risen to approximately 0.5. However, stock market factors only explain about 25% of Bitcoin's price volatility, with the remaining fluctuations primarily stemming from factors within the crypto market itself, including inflows into Bitcoin funds, changes in derivatives positions, network adoption, and changes in the regulatory environment. He believes that the current price linkage reflects more the macro liquidity and risk appetite environment than a structural bond between Bitcoin and tech stocks; therefore, Bitcoin still offers value for portfolio diversification.😳😳😳

South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), Customs Service, Credit Finance Association, and nine credit card companies have signed a "Public-Private Partnership Agreement to Block Transnational Criminal Funds." This agreement aims to cut off the funding chains for telephone scams and virtual asset crimes by analyzing overseas credit card usage details and immigration records. Under the new mechanism, the Customs Service will provide information on high-risk transactions, and the FSS will develop guidelines authorizing credit card companies to suspend transactions upon detecting anomalies. The system focuses on combating "currency exchange" activities involving using overseas credit cards to withdraw cash from ATMs abroad and laundering money through cryptocurrency.🙊🙊🙊
