From last night to this morning, three things happened in the crypto world that could keep anyone up at night.



First—Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick made an official announcement: Texas has bought Bitcoin! This is the first state government in the U.S. to personally step in. He even said he will work with Trump to make Texas "the core of America's digital future." When politicians get directly involved, could the signal be any clearer?

The second thing is even more interesting. According to Federal Reserve data, U.S. banks suddenly saw nearly $100 billion in new deposits within a week. Retail investors don't have that kind of cash—this is clearly big money quietly moving around. Such large-scale "relocation" usually serves one purpose: securing a spot before the winds of change.

The third is the most mysterious—a Bitcoin address dormant for 13.1 years suddenly became active, with 1,000 BTC (about $90 million) starting to move. The last time this address was active, Bitcoin was just $11 per coin. When these "ancient whales" resurface, it has often signaled major market moves in the past.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

On the policy front, all the key players are making moves. The Fed is getting closer and closer to cutting rates, and there's a lot of money in the banking system. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice is recovering crypto assets involved in cases through "civil forfeiture procedures," having already recouped nearly $1.7 million. This is a reminder to everyone: the rules still matter, and compliance is king.

As for the market? Capital is desperately looking for an exit. When political power and capital both turn to the digital world, it's pretty clear where the money is headed. Exodus's CEO even declared: Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by 2026. Insiders are already voting with their actions—a new cycle, driven by both sovereign endorsement and decentralized belief, is on the way.
BTC-2.3%

Wow, Texas's move is really incredible. Politicians directly betting on Bitcoin? This signal is so strong that if retail investors don't act now, they'll really fall behind. Ancient whales are starting to move, transferring 90 million USD worth of BTC. Isn't this a warning sign before a major event?... Sleep quality is really gone. The Federal Reserve cutting interest rates + policy tilt + large capital shifts—this combo punch is pretty fierce. It really feels like a change is coming. A movement of 100 billion USD in bank deposits in one week... There must be a story behind this. Big players have already sensed it, right? Is $200,000 a bit exaggerated? Haha, but this cycle definitely feels like it's here. Friends are already increasing their positions, and I'm still watching. Addresses active when Bitcoin was only $11 are now moving. That's crazy. What kind of mindset does that take? Turning Texas into a Digital Future Center? The US is really embracing this whole thing. What will traditional finance do? Funds looking for an exit are heading into the crypto space. No problem, just waiting to catch this wave of benefits. With this momentum, compliance is the key. This phrase is very profound. It's time for everyone to wake up. Transferring 1,000 BTC at once—how volatile is the market now? There must be more stories to tell.

Texas directly buying Bitcoin? Now the politicians are really serious, it feels like a change is coming. I'm a bit scared. If those 1000 ancient BTC suddenly move, it would really freak me out. The transfer of 100 billion by banks... doesn't really seem like a coincidence. Large funds are rushing to secure their positions. Rules need to be followed, but profits also need to be made. How should this balance be managed? $200,000? I believe it, but I'm just afraid that there will be another set of explanations then. Is this really happening this time, or is it another "wolf comes" scenario? Political endorsement plus capital promotion, it definitely feels like a different level of energy, but it depends on how the policies are implemented. I'm nervous whenever those big wallets that haven't moved since 2013 wake up. Will history always repeat itself?

Texas officially announces buying BTC, this time it's really happening. Signals of politicians getting involved are strong. Someone should have dared to act sooner. The ancient whale awakens as the California government rushes to claim land. Is this really the serious pace? A trillion-dollar deposit moving in a week—this momentum... People are truly panicking about money. If $200,000 is really sold, how many people will regret it later? Wait, the Department of Justice is still recovering assets. Can compliance and faith really go hand in hand? This time is different. Sovereign support plus capital entering the market—things are about to change. A whale that has been dormant for 13 years appears. Is a big market still far away? No sleep at all.

The Texas government is getting involved, things are really about to change now. --- The awakening of the whales feels even scarier than an official announcement... --- $200,000? I think that's conservative, haha. --- A sudden $10 billion transfer by the bank, that's a bit too obvious. --- When ancient whales move, it's a clear signal. We've all seen these historical cycles. --- Compliance is the real key, that really hits the mark. Otherwise, profits don't matter. --- With both policy and capital surging together, it's time for retail investors to buy the dip. --- This move by Texas is brilliant—even the state government is getting into BTC. --- A dormant account from 2013 just moved. That must be worth a fortune. --- Rumors of rate cuts plus backing from the California government—I really feel this cycle has arrived. --- When capital looks for an outlet, it rushes into the digital world. Couldn't be clearer. --- Whale awakening > politician announcements. This is the real signal.

Damn, even Texas is getting directly involved now. Are they just treating us retail investors like air... Wait a minute, as soon as that whale dormant since 2013 made a move, I knew it was over. This is totally a setup to cut us down like leeks. Big money is playing the "moving game," and we're still staring at candlestick charts. We're eight blocks behind in mindset, bro. $200,000? Wake up—better hold onto your coins before you start dreaming. When politicians and capital join forces, small retail investors like me are just here to watch. Not losing is already a win.

Buying BTC in Texas? Politicians are really getting serious now, this is different. Ancient whales waking up and California politicians entering the market, it really feels like the tipping point is here. 1,000 BTC on the move? Damn, now that’s a real signal. Is $200,000 real, or is this just another way to fleece retail investors? Banks are throwing money like crazy, we have to seize this wave. What does it mean when the whales wake up? Will history repeat itself? You have to follow the rules, but you can’t miss the opportunity either. How do you find that balance? Texas’ move is brilliant. Will other states follow? Big money is shifting positions. Are we following or not, guys? Is this a real cycle this time, or are we getting fooled again? Who can say for sure?

Texas is really getting involved this time, damn, this is different. Wait, is that ancient whale really going to shake things up? After sleeping since 2013, they wake up just to move BTC—how bullish is that? A bank suddenly coming up with $100 billion is definitely suspicious... Big money is rushing in? Compliance, compliance—they keep emphasizing compliance, but the politicians are already taking action, what do you think? $200,000 sounds crazy, but who dares to say it's impossible now...
