Yi Lihua: Multiple Factors Cause Market Volatility, Institutions Employ Long-term Strategies with Large Funds
January 26th, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua posted on social media:
“The community is pretty confused. Trend Research is buying up large amounts, BMNR and MicroStrategy are accumulating, CZ is touting a super bullish cycle—but prices have stayed weak and volatile. What’s going on here? After all, stocks, gold, and silver have all skyrocketed. Here are the main reasons we’re seeing:
- The four-year cycle and the October 11 crash
- The Japanese yen’s interest rate hike
- US BTC strategic reserves haven’t ramped up purchases

After 5 Years, Binance Relists Tesla Stock Trading
On January 26, Binance announced it will soon launch a Tesla (TSLA) Leveraged Token (U) perpetual contract, with support for up to 5x leverage.
Notably, Binance rolled out stock token trading in April 2021—with Tesla as its first supported token, priced in BUSD back then. The product was a synthetic asset, not actual stock trading. But due to regulatory concerns, the service phased out trading by July 16, 2021.
Roughly five years later, crypto has trended toward full compliance, and tokenization is the most talked-about topic in crypto’s integration with traditional finance. Crypto users can now trade tokenized stock products again on both centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
