Arthur Hayes latest post directly addresses Bitcoin's weak performance in 2025 relative to gold and tech stocks, and offers a confident forecast. He believes that whether Bitcoin can regain its upward "momentum" depends entirely on the US dollar liquidity environment. Although liquidity tightening in 2025 suppresses cryptocurrencies, Hayes lists several key catalysts and firmly believes that 2026 will see a "sharp expansion" of liquidity, driving Bitcoin to new all-time highs. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of Hayes's macro logic, examine the truth behind the market divergence in 2025, and look ahead to the capital wave that could reshape the crypto market in 2026.

On January 13, a miner solo mined 3.125 BTC, approximately 300,000 USD. In December alone, they mined 22 times, with an independent miner winning roughly once every 15.6 days. The probability of a 6 TH/s miner finding a block is 1/170 million, with an expected time of about 3,000 years. The Poisson process is memoryless, and thousands of miners worldwide keep the miracle going. CKPool charges a 2% fee, with 20,950 users contributing 188 PB of hash power.

JPMorgan Chase, the world's top investment bank, paints a grand institutionalized picture of the cryptocurrency market in its latest research report. The report states that in the just-concluded 2025, the global cryptocurrency market saw a record inflow of nearly $130 billion, a surge of about one-third compared to 2024. Looking ahead to 2026, a team of analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou predicts that cryptocurrency inflows are expected to grow further, with the driving force shifting from retail investors and listed companies (DAT) to larger institutional investors. The key catalyst for this shift is expected to be the implementation of a global crypto regulatory framework, exemplified by the U.S. "Clear Act," which will clear the main compliance hurdles for large-scale entry by traditional financial institutions. Meanwhile, the report’s forecast that the Federal Reserve may "raise interest rates rather than cut them" contrasts sharply with the current optimistic outlook of the crypto market, adding a layer of macro-level uncertainty to the future outlook.

Michael Saylor in the interview dismissed the significance of short-term cycle predictions, emphasizing that success requires long-term effort, and pointed out that the core spirit of Bitcoin is low time preference. Investors should adopt a four-year cycle, while promoting the理念 requires ten years. Short-term fluctuations cannot evaluate Bitcoin's success or failure.

Bitcoin is consolidating around $96,000, with trading volume slightly recovering but still not back to the rapid surge period. Investor sentiment remains neutral, and the market exhibits a phenomenon of short-term rebound coexistence with medium-term uncertainty. Despite diminished attention and increased unrealized profits, the overall market still appears cautious.

Backtesting shows that a 3x leveraged dollar-cost averaging strategy for Bitcoin yields only 3.5% more than a 2x leverage, but the risk is nearly zero. This indicates that spot dollar-cost averaging is the optimal long-term solution. The 2x leverage is the limit; 3x is not worthwhile because its risk-reward ratio is lower. Investors who plan to hold long-term should choose the spot strategy.

On the early morning of January 15, the high-performance Layer 1 blockchain Sui Network experienced its second severe network outage in several months, with the mainnet completely halted for about 6 hours, during which no new blocks were produced. Although the core team quickly intervened and ultimately restored the network, the market reaction to the SUI token was surprisingly "calm." Against the backdrop of Bitcoin leading the overall market surge, its price remained almost unchanged, staying around $1.89. This abnormal phenomenon reveals a subtle shift in the current valuation logic of the crypto market: under strong market maker support and a narrative-driven market environment, the impact of short-term technical failures on price may be diminishing. This article will thoroughly review the entire incident, analyze its technical root causes, and explore its profound implications for the development of the Sui ecosystem and the competitive landscape of Layer 1 protocols.

Renowned investment bank TD Cowen has lowered the one-year target price for Bitcoin holdings giant Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) from $500 to $440, primarily due to its ongoing issuance of equity and preferred stock diluting the key "Bitcoin yield." However, the firm still affirms Strategy's attractiveness as a Bitcoin investment vehicle and forecasts that it will increase its Bitcoin holdings by approximately 155,000 coins in fiscal year 2026. Meanwhile, Strategy's stock price has halved over the past year, and its business model's sustainability has been questioned by Wall Street. Nonetheless, a loyal group of retail investors still regard its founder Michael Saylor as a visionary leader, firmly believing that the market has "misunderstood" the company's value. A tug-of-war over valuation logic and faith is unfolding.

MicroStrategy Board Member Carl Rickertsen purchased 5,000 shares of MSTR at $155.88 per share, totaling $779,395.

JPMorgan predicts that by 2026, crypto inflows will surpass the record high of 2025's 130 billion, with more institutional participation. The passage of the Clarity Act could trigger increased institutional adoption. In 2025, DAT contributions will reach 68 billion (MicroStrategy 23 billion + others 45 billion). ETFs will be dominated by retail investors, while CME institutional activity slows down. The Q4 de-risking trend is easing, indicating signs of stabilization.

TD Cowen lowers MicroStrategy's target price to $440, as its Bitcoin yield crashes from 22.8% to 7.1%. Weekly financing of $1.25 billion to purchase 13,627 BTC. Despite the premium disappearing, the company remains actively buying Bitcoin. Analysts forecast Bitcoin will reach $177,000 by the end of 2026.

The article's five-year backtest data shows that the difference in returns between BTC triple leverage dollar-cost averaging and double leverage is minimal, only 3.5%, while the risk increases significantly. Spot dollar-cost averaging is considered the optimal solution, with 2x leverage being the aggressive limit, and 3x leverage having a very low cost-performance ratio, making it unsuitable for long-term dollar-cost averaging. Choosing the appropriate leverage strategy and controlling risk is the wise approach.
