📈 Large Crypto Holders Accumulate Amid Price Pressure

According to CryptoQuant, major holders are accumulating Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP as prices remain under pressure. This suggests the bear market is likely in its final stage, though prices may still drop further before a clear bottom is confirmed.

Analysts note that large Bitcoin holders' balances, excluding exchanges and mining pools, have risen to about 3.06 million BTC after hitting a low near 2.87 million BTC in December. Experts describe this as capital accumulation during a bear market, where strong holders absorb the weak.

A lot of smart people lack confidence because they’ve never stayed with anything long enough to become great at it.

They’re interested in everything, so choosing one thing feels like giving up ten others. Then once they finally choose, they get bored before the boring part has had enough time to turn into skill.

Eventually they start believing they have no real talent.

But talent may have never been the problem. They just keep leaving before competence has enough time to become confidence.

🤝 US-Japan Plan to Strengthen Yen Could Boost Bitcoin

Arthur Hayes outlines a US-Japan strategy to strengthen the yen, now undervalued and frustrating the US, China, and Japan. Raising rates by the Bank of Japan risks crashing Japanese bonds. Forcing Japan to sell US assets would destabilize Treasuries.

Japan’s Ministry of Finance pledges US Treasuries to the Federal Reserve via FIMA, using the dollars to buy yen—creating fresh Fed money. This requires lifting the $60 billion FIMA cap and letting GPIF join.
