🐂 CryptoQuant CEO Admits Mistake on BTC Cycle
Two months ago, CryptoQuant CEO claimed the bull cycle was over — now he admits he was wrong. 🤷
According to him, selling pressure is fading, and ETF inflows are strengthening the market. The behavior of Bitcoin whales is also changing: they no longer sell aggressively at peaks, making the market dynamics more complex than in previous cycles. 🤔

📊 CryptoQuant: Whale FOMO is real
The absolute gap between the realized price of BTC for new whales ($91,900) and old whales ($32,200) has hit $59,700 — that's a relative spread of 185% 🤯
In simple terms: new whales are entering at prices 185% higher than the old guard.

Tariff Truce Boosts Market Confidence 🤝
The U.S. and China have agreed to a 90-day mutual tariff reduction: China drops duties on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%, while the U.S. cuts Chinese tariffs from 145% to 30%. Additional U.S. tariffs imposed in April have been revoked. 🔥
The two nations will establish a permanent dialogue mechanism to address trade and economic issues, aiming to reduce the trade imbalance. However, currency matters and fentanyl remain unresolved. 👀
Officials say the breakthrough restores key communication channels and sets the stage for improved global trade relations — markets are already reacting. 🚀

🦄 Uniswap Hits $3 Trillion Milestone
Uniswap has officially become the first decentralized exchange (DEX) to surpass $3 trillion in cumulative trading volume since its launch in 2018, according to founder Hayden Adams. This marks a major milestone for the DeFi space.
📊 The platform currently sees over $3 billion in daily trading volume, placing it close to centralized competitors like Bybit ($3.8B) and ahead of PancakeSwap ($2.7B), though still behind Binance ($20B).
💧 Despite the trading surge, Uniswap’s TVL remains at $5 billion, roughly half of its 2021 peak. Meanwhile, the UNI token is still trading over 80% below its all-time high of $45 from May 2021.

CryptoQuant CEO: “Dark Stablecoins” Could Emerge in the Future 🧐
In response to increasing financial censorship, CryptoQuant’s CEO predicts the rise of “dark stablecoins” — censorship-resistant digital dollars that avoid government control. 💵
🔹 Unlike Bitcoin, which is decentralized, most stablecoins (like USDT, USDC) rely on centralized issuers and reserves.
🔹 Future regulations may include auto-taxation, wallet freezes, and ID requirements.
🔹 As a result, users may shift toward decentralized or unregulated alternatives for cross-border transfers.
🔹 Two possible paths: algorithmic stablecoins or those issued by countries ignoring censorship.
🔹 If Tether stops complying with U.S. demands, it could become a "dark" stablecoin again.
