Odaily: Matt Cole, CEO of Bitcoin treasury company Strive, stated on X that the long-term trend of currency debasement will continue to drive the appreciation of scarce assets. As digital gold, Bitcoin is still in its early stages, and as the market gradually matures, its long-term performance is expected to surpass gold.

Cole noted that over the past 55 years, gold's compound annual growth rate has exceeded the growth rate of the U.S. M2 money supply in multiple periods. Since 1970, these rates were 9.0% and 6.7% respectively; since the global financial crisis, 9.5% and 6.3% respectively; and since the COVID-19 pandemic, 18.3% and 6.5% respectively.

Cole believes that as the debt crisis continues to worsen, the long-term excess performance of scarce assets relative to the U.S. dollar may further expand. For Strive, the key to determining whether it can outperform Bitcoin lies in maintaining a high Bitcoin exposure multiplier and sufficient liquidity, rather than simply reducing financing costs.

He emphasized that establishing and sustaining high Bitcoin exposure over the long term while avoiding financial risk is extremely challenging, and the market still underestimates Strive's competitive advantages in Bitcoin exposure amplification capability and liquidity management. Its core investment philosophy is to reduce U.S. dollar exposure and increase Bitcoin allocation over the long term.

Odaily reports that 10x Research's latest crypto market weekly report notes that the crypto market broadly suffered a sell-off last week, with altcoins declining significantly more than Bitcoin. The 141 tokens it tracks fell 14% on average, while Bitcoin dropped only 3% over the same period.

10x Research states that trading volume in the crypto market is currently declining, stablecoin supply continues to contract, and ETF fund flows have turned to net outflows, reflecting mounting pressure on market liquidity.

However, options market pricing indicates that pressure remains relatively low, while speculative positions in the CME futures market are near highs, suggesting that the derivatives market has not yet fully reflected the weak performance of the spot market.

10x Research believes that investors should focus this week on key Bitcoin technical levels, Ethereum position allocation, as well as capital flows and position changes in the altcoin market.
