November 16th, according to TheBlock, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday filed two civil forfeiture complaints seeking to seize $15.1 million worth of USDT stolen by North Korean hackers in 2023.

November 14th, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Daniel Yan expressed: "Back to the key factor determining the cryptocurrency market: the U.S. stock market. It is indeed difficult to judge whether the U.S. stock market will continue to decline or rebound. However, considering various bearish factors and the reference provided by the earnings reports of the seven U.S. stock giants, I still remain optimistic about the later stage of the U.S. stock market. This is where the difference lies; therefore, I repeatedly suggest buying the dip in spot trading, not in contracts. From an investment perspective, the upside trend has more potential than the downside."

November 14th: Under the sharp downturn in overall sentiment, Bitcoin officially fell below $100,000 on Thursday, hitting a low of $98,000, a drop of over 20% from the peak of $125,000, re-entering a technical bear market territory. BiyaPay analysts pointed out that this round of correction was jointly triggered by "Fed rate cut expectations cooling + tech stock sell-off + weak ETF inflows," causing the core support to weaken and the market sentiment to continue deteriorating.In the derivatives market, the trading volume of protective put options in the $90,000 to $95,000 range has surged, with institutions positioning for a deeper pullback risk. Analysts believe that the next key support for Bitcoin lies in the $80,000 to $85,000 range, and a break below this level will open up further downside potential.For BiyaPay users, when uncertainty is just dissipating and the market is entering an emotional recovery phase, utilizing USDT to trade U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, futures, and commission-free cryptocurrency spot contract trading can provide a more flexible approach to seize rebound opportunities as liquidity returns, achieving efficient allocation in a multi-market interconnected environment.

Always believe in your own logic in investing and trading.
