Analyst Murphy (@Murphychen888) posted on social media that from May 15 to 19, Bitcoin fell for five consecutive trading days. Previously, the market sentiment, which was once worried about missing out, quickly shifted, and some investors began to expect prices to fall back to the range of $40,000 to $50,000. However, from the on-chain chip structure, the attitude of large funds presents a different picture.According to the data from May 15, $66,000 and $78,000 are the two price levels with the most concentrated turnover, clearly reflecting the entry positions of large funds. It is worth noting that the chip column in the range of $80,000 to $82,000 is relatively low. Although Bitcoin's price stayed in this range for nearly a week, the turnover was sparse, indicating that after the price returned above $80,000, funds began to become cautious.By May 19, as the price fell, the chip column at $78,000 not only did not decrease but actually increased. The most significant change was at the $76,000 price level; previously, when the price broke through this position, the chips at this level were just over 200,000, but when the price fell back to this position, the chips had increased to about 380,000. Analysts believe this indicates that the funds that entered at $78,000 did not panic and flee due to breaking below their cost. When the price fell to $76,000, new funds chose to enter and support, showing a clear attitude.From the chip structure, a reasonable correction range is roughly between $78,000 and $66,000. A second retest into this range and completing the turnover is expected to give the structure stronger resilience. Although the final price low is still difficult to predict, the attitude of funds starting to act around $76,000 indicates a clear willingness to support the market below.

According to the Hunan Daily, on February 9 at around 8 PM, the public security agency in Baojing, Hunan Province, China, received a report from a victim, Mr. Liu, from another province who had been scammed. He claimed that he was defrauded while purchasing virtual currency USDT online, with a total loss of 100,000 yuan. After receiving the report, the Baojing County Public Security Bureau dispatched a team of elite officers to form a special investigation group and began investigating the case overnight.The investigating officers used various investigative methods to ultimately identify the suspect as Shi. Upon investigation, it was found that the suspect Shi had no fixed income and did not possess qualifications for virtual currency trading. To defraud others, he collected screenshots of others trading coins online, forged false profit records, and impersonated a senior "coin dealer" to gain their trust. Victim Mr. Liu believed him and transferred 100,000 yuan to the account designated by Shi. After receiving the payment, Shi did not deliver the virtual currency; instead, he used part of the funds for gambling and squandered the rest, splitting and hiding the remaining funds.The investigating officers quickly identified Shi's identity and activities by accurately analyzing the flow of funds and comprehensively securing evidence related to the case. They decisively acted on the night of the report and successfully apprehended Shi. The next day, the case was officially filed for investigation. After solving the case, the police consistently adhered to the principle of "solving the case and recovering losses equally," patiently conducted legal policy education, and actively mobilized the suspect's family to cooperate in the restitution, ultimately recovering the full amount of 100,000 yuan involved in the case. On the morning of May 14, the 100,000 yuan of fraudulently obtained funds was fully returned to victim Mr. Liu. Currently, the suspect Shi has been subjected to criminal coercive measures for suspected fraud, and the case is under further investigation.

Additionally, Lock.com integrates post-quantum cryptography architecture, including ML-DSA digital signatures and ML-KEM key encapsulation mechanisms, to enhance security in future quantum computing environments.Quantography Labs stated that the current early access phase is mainly used to collect user feedback and prepare for a subsequent full launch.

The Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security published an article titled "Beware of Online Fraud Targeting Minors," which reveals a new type of online fraud chain characterized by "game diversion + impersonating public security and judicial authorities + virtual currency money laundering." Criminals post advertisements through games and social platforms to guide minors to add friends, and use intimidation and other means to extract funds from parents' accounts. The stolen money is split and withdrawn through black and gray industry platforms to purchase virtual currencies, which are not restricted by geography and can silently flow back to overseas fraud dens, completing the "physical isolation" of cross-border funds. The Criminal Investigation Bureau reminds that public security and judicial authorities will never handle cases online, will never intimidate for deductions, and will never ask for passwords or verification codes.
