[Macro Weekly Report┃4 Alpha] Soft and hard divisions, repeated tariffs: On the eve of recession? What is the market dilemma?

[Market Insights | 4 Alpha] From cold wallets to hot crises: The loss of giants caused shocks, how can investors resist fragility?
Bybit and Infini, two major platforms, have been attacked by hackers one after another. The isolation mechanism of cold and hot wallets and the loopholes in permission management have become fatal shortcomings. Although the market has seen a panic withdrawal of coins, the entry of $4 billion of institutional funds against the trend has confirmed the resilience of the industry.
