Shenzhou Technology "Yuan Shu Coin": The Legendary Value of Connecting Virtual and Real on the Chain
While the blockchain industry in 2023 continues to fluctuate within a concept bubble, Shenzhou Technology quietly launched the "Yuan Shu Plan." With the original intention of "technological foundation, ecological empowerment, and inclusive coexistence," the Yuan Shu Coin (SZC) was issued, writing a three-year story from technological experimentation to industry benchmark.
Dormant Period: Six Years of Technological Perseverance
Shenzhou Technology did not follow the ICO craze of 2021 but instead assembled an interdisciplinary team to deeply cultivate underlying technology. The team innovatively integrated cross-chain bridges and modular architecture to create the "Shenzhou Hub" protocol, compatible with mainstream public chains like Ethereum and Solana, reducing asset cross-chain transfer confirmation time to 8 seconds, with fees only 1/10 of the industry average.
Core technological breakthroughs focus on three points: first, adopting quantum-resistant signature algorithms to preempt future technological risks; second, developing a dynamic proof-of-stake mechanism to break the "rich get richer" Matthew effect through a behavior scoring system; third, constructing a compliant underlying framework, becoming one of the first domestic tokenization technology service providers to complete regulatory filing. Over these six years, the team iterated 18 testnet versions, rejecting short-term speculation temptations, quietly building a technological bridge connecting traditional industries and blockchain.
Explosion Period: RWA Empowering an Ecological Revolution for Real Assets
In 2025, Yuan Shu Coin reached a critical turning point — Shenzhou Technology launched the "Real Asset On-Chain Plan," first packaging core assets such as new energy charging stations and data center computing power into RWA tokens, enabling profit rights splitting and global circulation through Yuan Shu Coin. Ordinary investors can participate in asset investment with just 100 Yuan Shu Coins (equivalent to about 300 RMB), breaking the high threshold barrier of traditional real asset investments.
This innovation quickly triggered chain reactions:
The first 9,000 charging station assets went on-chain, completing 120 million RMB financing within three days, reinvesting funds into infrastructure construction, forming a positive cycle of "financing - construction - revenue";
Connected over 500,000 IoT devices, creating a "device-as-node" distributed network, with mainnet nodes surpassing one million within half a year;
Launched the "Liquidity Puzzle" model, allowing users to freely combine different asset pools, increasing capital utilization by 45% while reducing systemic risk.
Yuan Shu Coin is not merely an investment target but has also become the core credential of ecological governance. Token holders can participate in project decisions through DAO mechanisms, from asset on-chain selection to profit distribution ratios. Every major initiative is decided by community voting, truly achieving "全民共治" (全民共治).
Sublimation Period: Cross-Cycle Value Coexistence
In 2026, as cryptocurrency market volatility intensified, Yuan Shu Coin rose against the trend with solid real-world support, with a circulating market cap surpassing 5 billion USD. More commendably, its ecological radiation effect:
Attracted over 300 DApps across DeFi, supply chain traceability, digital identity, and other fields, creating thousands of jobs;
Collaborated with traditional manufacturing industries to put the entire product production, logistics, and sales process on-chain, generating unique NFT certificates to realize asset digitization and traceability;
Launched the "Ecological Growth Fund," injecting 15% of transaction fees into the fund to support small and medium developers and实体企业转型，累计支持项目超200个。
From being questioned as "idealism" to becoming a benchmark for industry digital transformation, the story of Yuan Shu Coin lies not in short-term gains but in reconstructing the connection between technology and value. It proves that the core value of tokens is not speculation but achieving efficient resource allocation and fair rights distribution through blockchain technology, so that technological dividends truly benefit every participant.

Heartbreaking Truth: Behind Silver's Surge is an Industrial Crisis, Not a Safe-Haven Rally
Family, witness history! Just last night, the traditional safe-haven asset silver staged a "high jump" that even the crypto world is ashamed of—its price plummeted over $6 from the historic peak of $83/ounce within half an hour, with a daily fluctuation of up to $9, resembling a doom party for air coins. When silver also starts playing "pin-prick trading," we have to ask: Is this truly a gift of wealth or a prelude to crisis?
1. The Horror Night of December 29: A Liquidity Kill
According to real-time data on December 29, spot silver opened with a violent surge of over 5%, firmly surpassing $83/ounce, with its market value jumping past Google to become the fourth-largest global asset, with some industry insiders boldly claiming "it will soon surpass Nvidia to become the second-largest asset worldwide." However, the rally lasted less than four hours before a high jump that saw prices drop below $75, with an intraday range of $9, finally settling around $80.
This is not just profit-taking. The thin liquidity at year-end amplified the impact of each order, but more deeply: the futures market is facing a potential liquidity crisis. Renowned financial writer John Rubino warned that Friday’s surge may have triggered massive short squeezes, "Many large shorts are facing margin calls that require huge funds, and some will be unable to bear it." Even more alarming, the Shanghai physical silver market quotes have soared to $90, creating a staggering $10 spread with Comex futures prices ($79–80), yet arbitrageurs cannot close this gap—because there simply isn't enough physical silver in the paper exchanges.
2. 57% Retail Investors Trapped in a "Generational Bubble" Illusion
Kitco surveys show that over half (57%) of retail investors firmly believe silver will break $100 next year. This frenzy is all too familiar—reminiscent of the FOMO before Dogecoin surged to $0.7 in 2021. But the cold reality is:
• Premium Bubble in Funds: The secondary market price premium of China Universal Silver Fund (LOF) once exceeded 57%. The fund company has issued multiple risk warnings and taken measures like temporary suspension and daily purchase limits of 500 yuan per account. This means you are buying silver at nearly 60% above its actual value, and switching out will face "net value decline + premium convergence" double whammy.
• Collective Bearishness Among Analysts: Katusa Macro directly states that "precious metal prices have risen to levels difficult to explain with fundamentals," predicting silver may fall back to about $42 by the end of next year, nearly halving. UBS also warns that after reaching new highs, the risk of short-term profit-taking sharply increases.
• Divergence from Gold Logic: In 2025, gold is expected to surge 65%, while silver, though rising with it, exhibits far higher volatility. When gold is stabilized by central bank gold purchases (310 tons in Q3 2025), silver’s rapid rise is more driven by speculative funds, lacking sustainable support.
Rubino hits the nail on the head: "We are at the center of a big event, and it will get bigger"—but this "big event" could be a price collapse.
3. Musk Warns: This is Not Investment, but an Industrial Disaster
Elon Musk urgently states: "The silver surge will impact many industrial processes." This is not alarmism but a real supply chain collapse happening now.
Silver’s industrial role is shifting from a "bonus" to a "death knell":
• Urgent Need in New Energy: Samsung’s new solid-state batteries require 1 kg of silver per vehicle. If they achieve 9-minute charging for 600 miles, the wealthy will scramble for these cars. Tech giants like Tesla and Apple are shifting from "just-in-time inventory" to "panic hoarding."
• Giants Entering the Market: Rubino reveals that tech giants are considering directly buying silver mines to secure supply, "Musk could even use his 'change' to buy entire silver mining operations." This is no longer just financial investment but a strategic resource race.
• Supply Chain Breakdowns: When manufacturing giants hoard physical silver, small players can't get supplies. Rubino warns: "The silver market faces an 'Unobtainium' risk—you’re willing to pay high prices, but exchange inventories are completely wiped out."
This is fundamentally different from Bitcoin: Bitcoin has no industrial demand, and even if it crashes, it’s just digital ledger entries; but a surge in silver can crush the real economy and ultimately backfire on its own price.
4. The Triple Roots of Crypto-Scale Volatility
Why do traditional assets exhibit "crypto-like" volatility? Three main drivers:
1. Year-End Liquidity Drain: During the "Ghost Week" (Christmas to New Year), Wall Street traders take collective vacations, order books are thin as cicada wings, and small funds can trigger big swings. This explains why a $9 fluctuation occurs in traditional markets rather than crypto.
2. Futures "Partial Reserve" Scam: Rubino points out that paper silver exchanges are essentially "partial reserve banks"—they hold only a small amount of physical silver but sell far more futures contracts. When everyone demands physical delivery, the exchange can only default, "pay you cash and send you home." This recalls the 2022 LME nickel short squeeze, where the exchange canceled contracts, allowing shorts to escape.
3. The Ultimate Showdown Between Retail and Institutions: 57% of retail investors are bullish on $100 silver, but the shorts may be big banks that can't hold on. When arbitrage opportunities vanish and physical delivery becomes impossible, default risks could trigger chain bankruptcies. Rubino predicts: "Some big bank might release shocking news on Monday."
5. Digital Silver vs. Physical Silver: Who Will Funds Choose?
When "digital silver" BTC and physical silver are both hot topics, who will funds favor?
The brutal answer: in the short term, both will be abandoned by institutions; in the long term, silver has real industrial demand backing it, while Bitcoin does not.
In 2025, Bitcoin may fall 6%, Ethereum 30%, while silver, despite violent shakeouts, still has industrial value anchoring it. But both share a common trait—they are no longer safe-haven assets:
• Bitcoin is the "high-beta shadow asset" of US stocks
• Silver is a "panic speculative target" for industrial metals
When US stocks decline, institutions will prioritize selling liquid Bitcoin; when industrial demand collapses, silver’s fall will be even more brutal than Bitcoin’s.
6. The Iron Rules for Ordinary Investors’ Survival
In the face of "crypto-like" traditional assets, remember these two survival rules:
Rule One: Never participate in high-premium speculation
When China Universal Silver Fund (LOF) trades at a 57% premium, it’s like paying 60% above net asset value. Remember the lesson from 2015’s split-grade funds: premiums will eventually zero out, and bubbles burst, you can’t escape.
Rule Two: Wait for "default panic" before acting
If this week’s events include exchange defaults or bank failures, silver might "bottom out" at $40–50, which is the real buying opportunity. Jumping in now is like bottom-fishing during Luna’s crash in 2022.
Rule Three: Focus on industrial signals rather than price
Rather than watching candlesticks, track Samsung’s solid-state battery production progress and Tesla’s inventory cycles. When industrial demand genuinely rebounds, silver will have long-term value; otherwise, it’s just another short squeeze game.
Conclusion: When silver learns to "pin," there’s no safe haven left
The $9 fluctuation in silver tears away the last fig leaf— in an era of alternating liquidity abundance and scarcity, no asset is truly a safe harbor. Whether it’s Bitcoin’s "US stock-like" behavior or silver’s "crypto-like" volatility, the underlying logic is the same: institutional capital rules have changed, but retail cognition remains stuck in the previous cycle.
