2026.02.20 18:31:33

On February 20, 2026, Forbes unveiled its 11th annual Fintech 50 list, forecasting that crypto market platforms Polymarket (which has raised $2.3 billion), Securitize ($425 million), Phantom ($2.68 billion), Ledn ($1.07 billion), and Hyperliquid (no funding raised) will rank among the top five cryptocurrency companies. While crypto industry valuations are viewed as more conservative than those of AI startups, the sector still boasts innovation and strong growth potential. Per CB Insights data, total fintech private funding hit $53 billion in 2025—down from $152 billion in 2021 but marking the first year of growth in four years.

Li Yihua: Short-term false breakouts are typical bull traps; the daily chart remains in an uptrend channel, with no trend reversal observed yet.

Liquid Capital founder Yilihua noted that the current crypto market is undergoing a pullback within the daily uptrend channel, not yet a full trend reversal. However, short-term false breakouts are typical bull traps, with the key pullback support level at $82,000. If $82,000 holds, the pullback will end and the uptrend will resume; if it fails to hold, a larger-scale correction may be on the horizon. A few days ago, when commenting on the pullback, Liquid Capital stated it would not chase speculative gains or try to capture the final bit of upside, instead patiently waiting for new, high-confidence opportunities.
