2. WLFI Crash: Will the Trump-Backed Cryptocurrency Rebound or Lose $8200 Million?
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens, backed by the Trump family, have experienced a significant drop in value since the beginning of October 2025. The drop in value of over 10% and the resulting outflow of approximately $82 million have raised investor concerns.
Reasons for the decline :

- Lack of market liquidity
- Increased regulatory attention
WLFI was initially pre-sold at $0.0015, but is currently trading at around $0.186. Large investors, such as Justin Sun, have also been paying attention to the purchase of 750 million tokens.

3. Impact of Rising Japanese Government Bond Yields on Bitcoin Price: A Test for $123,000
In October 2025, Japan's 17-year government bond yields are expected to rise sharply, drawing attention to their impact on Bitcoin prices.

Explanation of the mechanism :
- Rising Japanese government bond yields → Upward pressure on global interest rates
- Risk-off mood → Investment funds flow into safe assets

My Feelings, Then and Now
The second week of October 2025 was an important week in which the cryptocurrency market matured and saw significant progress in its practical application. From Ripple's award-winning cryptocurrency to Bitcoin's record high and the emergence of new financial services, the diversification and deepening of the market are clearly evident.
What is particularly noteworthy is the accelerating transition from speculative aspects to practical value. Bringin's integration into everyday infrastructure, Lava's payroll system, and Grayscale's institutionalized investment products all demonstrate the evolution of cryptocurrencies from mere investments to financial infrastructure rooted in real life.
On the other hand, the impact of the collapse of the WLFI and rising Japanese government bond yields suggests that investors need to continue to manage risk carefully.
