1. "Justin Sun's 8 Years in the Crypto Circle, a Cryptic Twin City Chronicle"
Jaleel Add Six, BlockBeats
Over the past few years, Justin Sun has almost become the "last survivor" in the crypto circle, whether it's regulatory crackdowns, market crashes, or successive falls of crypto tycoons, he has always navigated smoothly and stood steadily at the industry's center. Recently, his name once again became a hot topic, still full of drama. First, he crazily bought a banana for $2.7 million, and this outrageous "luxury purchase" made headlines in major mainstream media. Later, he proudly associated with the Trump family. And just yesterday, Justin Sun and Huobi founder Li Lin engaged in a public altercation, accusing him of concealing financial loopholes during the settlement process, leaving a $30 million "funding gap" that had to be filled from his pocket. Whether in a financial dispute with Li Lin or a $2.7 million banana, the essence of these stories still revolves around one core: wealth, power, and influence. This is also a microcosm of the most exciting decade in the crypto sphere, and Justin Sun has always been at the center of this grand drama.
2. "Policy Favorable and Confusing Behavior Coexist, Is Trump a True Crypto Builder or a Bigger Scythe?""
Penny, BlockBeats
Since Trump and his wife released their own meme coins $Trump and $MELANIA, attracting a huge amount of participation, the cryptocurrency market quickly fell into a state of liquidity crisis. On the other hand, the impact of the domestic AI large model DeepSeek, the cancellation of Bitcoin's legal tender status by sovereign countries, and a series of bearish news such as the U.S. imposing additional tariffs have further worsened the already sluggish market. The first major drop after the New Year was caused by Trump's imposition of tariffs.
