According to Wall Street observations, the Bitcoin market is experiencing double pressure. Options market data indicates a surge in demand for put options, with traders willing to pay higher premiums to hedge downside risks. Additionally, Bitcoin miners deposited approximately 51,000 Bitcoins onto exchanges in the past week, marking a new high in months, potentially preparing for sales. Furthermore, a report stated that around 3 AM Beijing time on Thursday, the cryptocurrency market witnessed a bizarre appearance and swift disappearance of a $300 trillion stablecoin. Paxos, a crypto partner of PayPal, minted 300 trillion PayPal stablecoins (PYUSD) on the Ethereum blockchain, with a paper value corresponding to $300 trillion. Transaction records show that Paxos subsequently minted 300 million PYUSD as usual. The nature of this incident is clear: Paxos mistakenly typed 300 million (300 million) as 300 trillion (300 trillion).
