Bitcoin mining activities are under severe pressure as US winter storms force several large mining companies to shut down their machines urgently, leading to a sharp decline in hash rate, output, and revenue. The total network hash rate has dropped to 970 EH/s, the lowest in nearly two years, and mining income has also hit a new low. Miners' survival space is shrinking, and more and more miners are facing losses.

The US winter storm impacts mining farms, causing Bitcoin hash rate to plummet 12% to 970 EH/s, the largest drop since China's ban on mining in 2021. Extreme cold temperatures have strained power supplies, leading many miners to limit electricity and shut down. Daily mining revenue has fallen from $45 million to $28 million, the daily production of listed mining companies has decreased from 77 coins to 28 coins, and the profit and loss index has dropped to 21, which is expected to trigger a more significant difficulty adjustment.

Tether announces the open-source Bitcoin mining system MOS, released at the El Salvador Plan ₿ Forum. The system provides end-to-end visibility across mining farms, unifying hardware, energy, and data management. CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that it makes mining more open and modular. The Mining SDK toolkit was also released simultaneously.

The number 314159 (the first six digits of Pi) has become a symbol of faith in the Pi coin community, representing unity and universality. Over 16 million users have migrated to the mainnet, forming an ecosystem of more than 200 applications. The Pi coin community calls it a "quiet revolution," emphasizing community and ongoing participation rather than hype and speculation.

Elon Musk announces the merger of SpaceX and xAI, with a valuation of $1.25 trillion, planning to deploy data centers into space to bypass Earth's power limitations and pave the way for an IPO in 2026.

Written by: Jeff Park Translated by: Block unicorn Introduction A few days ago, influenced by rumors that Kevin Woor could be nominated as Federal Reserve Chair, Bitcoin's price rapidly dropped to $82,000, then briefly fell to around $74,500. This volatile price movement made me realize that even among the most seasoned traders in the global macroeconomic field, there is always a sense of unease—an alertness to the contradictory personality of an "inflation hawk Federal Reserve Chair who wants to cut interest rates." Because this contradiction itself reflects the duality inherent in currency devaluation. The theory behind currency devaluation trading sounds simple: print money, devalue the currency, and hard assets appreciate. But this "cheap money" narrative conceals a more fundamental issue, and that issue determines the success or failure of Bitcoin: interest rates will

Trump nominates Waller to be Federal Reserve Chair, with markets expecting more aggressive rate cuts and balance sheet reduction. However, interbank liquidity has shifted from excess to tight, and forced balance sheet reduction could trigger a crisis; rate cuts need to balance relations with Trump, and with unemployment not breaking 4.5%, support is unlikely. Waller advocates for a "trend dependence" approach rather than "data dependence," and a lack of flexibility in the policy framework could amplify market volatility.

Cryptocurrency Market Overview BTC (-3.85% | Current Price 75,523 USDT): Amid a synchronized plunge in US stocks and gold/silver, BTC experienced a "sharp drop—pinning—weak rebound—low-range consolidation." Although no new systemic negative news emerged, the "1011" liquidity dispute was repeatedly mentioned, leading to a slow recovery of confidence. The price has regained the MA5/MA10 but MA30 still acts as resistance, making the rebound more like a correction within a downward channel. Watch for support at 75,000 and resistance at 80,000; if broken, it may test MicroStrategy's cost basis again and look toward support around 70,000. ETH (-9.9% | Current Price 2,197.86 USDT): ETH is significantly weaker than BTC. With risk appetite shrinking, it first experienced a volume surge and a sharp decline, with a pin at $2,220 and a limited rebound. It then shifted to sideways consolidation at low levels and moved downward with volatility. The price

MicroStrategy has signaled plans to acquire more Bitcoin despite its massive holdings hovering near its average cost basis, funded by an aggressive hike in dividends on its specialized preferred stock.

For the industry, it signifies a pivotal evolution fro

Pai Coin plummeted over the weekend to a historic low of $0.145, a more than 93% decline from the $2.98 high set after the mainnet launch in February last year. The crash was caused by a combination of overall weakness in the crypto market, escalating geopolitical risks, ongoing selling pressure, and large-scale token unlocks. Data shows that Pai Coin will unlock over 133 million tokens in February, with a total of 1.3 billion tokens set to be unlocked in the next 12 months, continuing to pressure the price due to increased supply.

Recently, the US dollar has weakened but failed to drive Bitcoin higher. JPMorgan pointed out that this is because the dollar's decline was mainly driven by market sentiment rather than changes in economic outlook, leading to Bitcoin's underperformance. Currently, Bitcoin is more like a liquidity-sensitive risk asset and needs a clear shift in monetary policy before attracting new capital into the market.
