ChainCatcher news, according to Matrixport analysis, the correlation between the rise in global liquidity and the increase in Bitcoin prices has certain limitations. The global liquidity indicator, measured by the total money supply of 28 central banks (in USD terms), although visually correlated with Bitcoin price trends, has its predictive accuracy questioned due to the non-stationarity of the time series and scale differences.The analysis points out that while the growth of money supply may have a lagging effect on the Bitcoin market, this lag time lacks strong theoretical support. Furthermore, although the correlation between Bitcoin and Nasdaq has slightly increased in recent years, it remains below the 60% peak during COVID, indicating that Bitcoin trading is more driven by its own dynamics rather than acting entirely as a proxy asset for tech stocks.Matrixport believes that the broad consolidation of Bitcoin prices may continue, and solely relying on liquidity indicators to predict market trends may not be reliable enough. In contrast, focusing on native driving factors of cryptocurrencies or macro variables with direct policy impacts (such as political leaders supporting cryptocurrencies) may be more valuable. Although market perceptions may have mathematical flaws, their widespread acceptance could still have a tangible impact on market behavior.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Ray Dalio, the founder of the world's largest hedge fund Bridgewater, recently warned the Trump administration that if it does not immediately commit to reducing the deficit, the United States may face a significant debt crisis within the next three years. Dalio stated, "It's like a heart attack------you are gradually approaching danger. My guess is about three years, with a margin of error of about a year."In the face of currency devaluation risks, Dalio believes that investors must seek "alternatives with stable supply." He specifically pointed out the advantages of Bitcoin: "Unlike real estate, Bitcoin cannot be easily seized or taxed."When asked if he is more optimistic about gold than ever, he gave an affirmative answer: "The current environment indeed enhances the allocation value of gold------but I want to emphasize that no one can accurately predict the future; what investors need is to build a moderately diversified portfolio."Dalio suggested that an allocation of 10%-15% in gold in a theoretical investment portfolio falls within the "prudent" range: "A small amount of gold can provide protection and achieve diversification. The key is to avoid over-allocating to any asset."
