Research shows that mining costs are a defining feature of PoW tokens, involving significant investment in hardware and electricity. When market prices approach miners' breakeven points, miners tend to hold onto their coins in anticipation of future appreciation. This behavior reduces circulating supply, shifts the supply-demand balance, and may contribute to price increases. Regulatory clarity is also critical to the investment appeal of PoW tokens. Both BTC and LTC are classified as commodities by the U.S. SEC rather than securities, which simplifies the ETF approval process. In January 2024, the approval of the BTC spot ETF triggered significant institutional inflows. LTC is currently undergoing the ETF application process. While DOGE and KAS have not yet received formal classification, their PoW nature may position them for similar treatment. Together, these factors enhance market liquidity and attract more institutional investors.

VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe RWA (Real-World Assets) sector has been gaining significant traction in the crypto space, as it tokenizes traditional assets like real estate and bonds to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi. This process unlocks trillions of dollars in potential value, while enabling broader access to high-value investments through asset fractionalization, increased liquidity, and lower entry barriers. RWA also diversifies and stabilizes DeFi collateral options, addressing the sector's over-reliance on crypto-native assets and paving the way for large-scale adoption. With regulatory frameworks becoming clearer worldwide, the compliance advantages of RWAs are increasingly evident—drawing in institutional capital. What sets RWA projects apart is their connection to real-world income streams like rent and interest payments, offering more sustainable returns than purely speculative assets. These cash-flow-generating features appeal to investors seeking steady returns. As such, RWA is seen as a crucial step in the evolution of blockchain technology from concept to practicality. Its development potential and practical use cases make it an important sector in the crypto industry today.

- 05:17Former U.S. Treasury Secretary: U.S. Debt Decline Indicates Loss of Confidence in U.S. Policies and Financial AssetsAccording to Jinse, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has commented on Trump's tariff plans. She stated that the rationale for Trump's tariff policy is "unclear and totally unjustified." In an interview with Bloomberg, Yellen said, "The move to remove tariffs and lower tariffs is positive, but we are in a world filled with enormous uncertainty." Even as investors, governments, and consumers face various uncertainties, the U.S. economy remains strong, and she believes the Federal Reserve does not need to intervene at the moment. Yellen said, "If there is a real issue of financial stability, I believe the Fed would consider using its liquidity tools, just as it did in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. But we are not at that point yet." Regarding the soaring yields on U.S. Treasury bonds, Yellen stated, "I do not think we have seen a total dysfunction of market liquidity, but the pattern indicating loss of confidence in U.S. economic policy and the safety of fundamental financial assets is indeed very concerning."
