#贵金属黄金与白银刷新历史高位 ⚡【Global Policy Impact Causes Cryptocurrency Market Volatility】240,000 people liquidated in one day, nearly $900 million evaporated

The start of the year has been quite intense. Bitcoin retraced from its high to around 93,000, while the altcoin army collectively weakened. The 24-hour liquidation scale directly exceeded 240,000—this number is quite shocking.

🔴 Key clues behind the sharp decline:

From external shocks, the correlation between the US stock market and the crypto market is becoming increasingly tight. Rising expectations of interest rate hikes and stronger-than-expected US economic data have completely shattered market hopes for rate cuts, causing liquidity expectations to reverse. Meanwhile, changes in trade policies are also creating risk sentiment—risk-averse capital is withdrawing massively from risk assets, and cryptocurrencies, being highly volatile, are naturally among the first to be affected.

On the regulatory front, there is a dual-sided attack. Compliance frameworks in the US and Europe are being implemented one after another, and some small to medium tokens are experiencing sell-offs during the "clean-up" process. Coupled with the death spiral effect of leveraged liquidations, short-term panic selling can easily be concentrated.

🟢 Interestingly, while the entire market is crying out in distress, one sector is actually racing against the wind—Real World Assets (RWA) are telling a completely different story.

BlackRock’s tokenized fund has gained recognition for cross-bank collateral, Ripple’s moves on the international stage are heating up, and regions like Bermuda are collaborating with compliant platforms to build on-chain economic ecosystems. The total market cap of the RWA sector has surged nearly 300% in the short term, reaching close to $20 billion.

The underlying logic behind this phenomenon is very clear: capital is voting with its feet. "Compliance" and "real asset anchoring" have become safe channels in a bear market environment. Compared to assets with purely virtual attributes, those backed by real assets and compliant with regulatory frameworks are attracting institutional funds.

📊 The choices facing each participant now are quite straightforward—do they hold onto highly volatile small coins and gamble on a rebound, or shift their positions to bet on compliant assets? How far this decline will go likely depends on whether macro liquidity can stabilize and whether regulatory expectations can become clearer.
