Odaily reports: Crypto analyst Darkfost stated that the Bitcoin market is currently dominated by realized losses, with a net realized PnL of -$191 million over the past week. Over the past 3 days, investors have realized losses of approximately $657 million to $703 million per day in Bitcoin trading, with cumulative realized losses exceeding $2 billion.

As Bitcoin once again falls below the important psychological threshold of $80,000, the loss trend has clearly accelerated. It remains uncertain whether this round of investor stop-losses and selling is nearing its end or will continue further.

Odaily: The Central Bank of Nigeria has issued regulatory rules for the operation of non-securities virtual assets, requiring that foreign currency stablecoins be issued by entities registered in Nigeria and holding the corresponding issuance license, and that they may only be offered to local users after approval by the central bank; foreign licenses cannot substitute for this. The minimum paid-in capital for issuers of naira stablecoins and foreign currency stablecoins is 10 billion naira and 15 billion naira, respectively, while other service providers require 1 billion naira. Stablecoins must be fully reserved on a 1:1 basis with an additional 2% overcollateralization, and holders must be able to redeem at par by the next business day; issuers may not pay interest or returns, and algorithmic stablecoins and fiat stablecoins backed primarily by crypto assets are prohibited. Existing operators must register with the central bank within 30 days after the rules take effect and apply for a license within 180 days; during the transition period, they may only maintain their existing business scale, and peer-to-peer trading platforms are also subject to these rules.

Odaily reports: Ahead of Friday's release of the U.S. October nonfarm payrolls report, bond traders have already bet that the U.S. Treasury market will rise further, while market expectations for the Federal Reserve to continue raising rates have continued to cool. After the U.S. midterm elections, global stock markets suffered a sell-off, driving investors toward U.S. Treasuries this week as a safe haven, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell on Thursday to its lowest level since early September.
As the stock market sell-off intensified further, the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.82% on Friday. The recent rally in the bond market has strengthened traders' confidence that yields will fall further. One options market trade bets that the 10-year Treasury yield could fall to 4.7% by the end of next week; another trade expiring on November 20 bets that the yield will fall to about 4.35%.
Gennadiy Goldberg, head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, said the data due Friday is expected to be slightly weak, but the market is still mainly focused on economic fundamentals. He noted that the U.S. economy remains quite strong and the labor market is showing a "low hiring, low layoffs" pattern, so the market has already sharply reduced rate hike expectations over the past few weeks.

Odaily reports: Former Fidelity investment fund manager George Noble warned on Thursday that Nvidia is heading down a path similar to the dot-com bubble burst by "propping up" customers who purchase its artificial intelligence (AI) hardware. In a post on social media, Noble noted that Nvidia currently accounts for about 8% of the S&P 500, double the weight Cisco held at the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000.
