#数字货币市场回升 Apple's CEO Tim Cook's remarks have stirred the crypto market! When he publicly admitted to holding Bitcoin and Ethereum, the market reacted immediately—Bitcoin climbed back above the $112,000 mark, Ethereum rose over 3% to surpass $4,100, and other digital assets like Binance Coin and DOGE also increased by more than 2%. This statement undoubtedly injected a long wick candle of confidence into the entire crypto field, but it is worth pondering the stark contrast between the personal investment enthusiasm and the company's strategic calm reflected in it.
From a financial perspective, Cook's public statements convey a dual message. In terms of personal investment, he views cryptocurrency as a reasonable tool for achieving portfolio diversification, which actually reflects the general trend among executives of large global companies—statistics show that about 37% of the top 100 corporate executives hold crypto assets, a rational strategy to cope with inflation pressures and diversify investment risks. However, regarding Apple's position, Cook has been unusually cautious, clearly stating that the company's $200 billion cash reserves will not be used to purchase cryptocurrencies, nor will they consider accepting crypto payments. This is mainly because under the current GAAP accounting standards, the impairment rules for crypto assets could lead to unnecessary volatility in Apple's financial reports, which seeks to maintain stock price stability.
Market participants seem more inclined to capture "positive signals" while ignoring the inherent risk characteristics of the crypto market—data shows that over 90,000 people faced liquidation in just 24 hours, resulting in approximately $261 million in losses, with the liquidation rate for short positions nearing 70%. This phenomenon corroborates analysts' views: although the derivatives market is becoming increasingly mature and can somewhat buffer price fluctuations, the high-risk nature of the crypto market has not fundamentally changed, and even seemingly strong bullish trends can quickly reverse. From this perspective, Cook's personal investment decisions resemble a kind of "celebrity effect" rather than a guarantee of market stability.
Can Cook's position statement really become a "stabilizer" for the crypto market? In the face of such a market environment, will you follow the footsteps of the big players to enter the market, or choose to continue observing?
