Odaily News: Crypto researcher kioto posted on X platform stating that multiple tokens on Robinhood Chain with market caps exceeding $100 million exhibit a similar market structure: after early attention and significant capital inflow, as market hype fades, these tokens typically experience a sharp pullback of around 60% to 95%, shaking out short-term traders while chips gradually concentrate among long-term holders and participants who may be accumulating for the next market move.The researcher believes that when new market demand emerges again, with reduced sell-side supply, thinner order books combined with potential catalysts could drive rapid price appreciation. Once one understands that this pattern repeats itself, it becomes possible to proactively identify tokens at similar stages. Robinhood Chain is more of a chain for holders rather than a chain for flippers.

Although these actions have compressed Afghanistan's visible crypto market, Bitcoin can still be traded via the internet, private keys, and counterparties.
Jiang Zhuoer stated in a post that on Friday, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $202 million, ending nine consecutive days of net inflows; Ethereum spot ETFs remained robust, posting further net inflows of $102 million.
