Historically, when China significantly increases its money supply to stimulate the economyβas it did in 2016 and 2020βit tends to set off a chain reaction. Central banks around the world, particularly in the U.S. and EU, often follow suit.
What usually follows is a broad rise in asset pricesβstocks, commodities, gold, and #BTC.

Binance has just introduced Alpha Points β a new points system to evaluate user activity within the Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet ecosystem.
This score will determine whether you can participate in special events like TGE (Token Generation Event) or receive Alpha Token airdrops in the future.
Itβs Binanceβs way of tracking your interaction and contribution within their ecosystem. Each day, points are calculated based on two factors:
1οΈβ£ Based on Asset Balance:
2οΈβ£ Based on Alpha Token Purchases:
Essentially, this is how Binance filters out genuinely βactiveβ users to prioritize benefits during token launches or airdrops.
If you want to βsecure a spot,β I think you should start accumulating points early β as this mechanism might become stricter over time.

Bitcoinβs price surge reflects macro-level optimism and strong short-term investor activity. However, profit-taking and cautious sentiment in the derivatives market remain key risks.
