According to the official announcement, to meet users' diversified investment needs, Bitget's US stock token rToken has listed rJMKE (Jersey Mike's Subs). As of now, the Bitget platform supports a total of 608 US stock tokens.

According to BIT Official Chinese (@BITofficial_CN) analysis, the current crypto market faces dual pressure from the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and the slowed progress of the CLARITY Act. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh maintains a hawkish stance; the 2-year US Treasury yield has risen cumulatively by approximately 35 basis points since late January, and the Committee has seen a pattern of 9 votes to maintain interest rates and 3 votes supporting rate hikes. Regarding the CLARITY Act, prediction markets indicate a mere 32% probability of it being signed by the end of 2026, with the legislative window continuing to narrow. Meanwhile, crypto market trading volume has retreated 80% from highs, total market cap has fallen approximately 50%, and USDT and USDC have shown no significant expansion since November 2025, reflecting an overall lack of new USD liquidity in the market. Despite this, Bitcoin remains within the $62,000 to $66,000 range, correcting only about 3% over the past week. It demonstrates stronger resilience compared to most altcoins, reflecting that active position adjustment pressure has been largely released. BIT points out that if Bitcoin subsequently regains $70,000 and drives multiple indicators to turn bullish, it will further confirm that the low point of this cycle has been established.
the token is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, can be natively minted and redeemed on Celo, and can be directly used to pay on-chain gas fees via Celo's fee abstraction mechanism. USAT went live in January this year and currently has a market cap of approximately $185 million.

Odaily News: Crypto KOL Unipcs (also known as "Bonk Guy") stated that Crypto Twitter (CT) and on-chain traders are constantly rotating to chase the hot narratives of each newly launched public chain—essentially, they are continuously seeking new opportunities to lose money.Unipcs noted that two weeks ago, the market concentrated on hyping the Base ecosystem narrative due to Robinhood Chain's performance, but the trend ultimately did not last. Last week, the market began viewing Stable Chain as the next "Robinhood Chain" opportunity, and he had previously warned the community about the related risks.He stated that the highest market-cap Meme coin on Stable Chain has already dropped approximately 90%, and most Meme projects have not generated genuine market attention.Unipcs believes he is not opposed to Tether or Arc Chain—if they focus on their positioning as stablecoin infrastructure, they may still achieve growth. However, forcibly fitting every new chain into the Meme coin narrative is an unreasonable market behavior.He added that many participants do not understand Meme coin culture, which could lead to significant losses for investors' assets. For trading Meme coins, Unipcs recommends focusing on networks with existing ecosystem foundations, such as Robinhood Chain, Solana, and BNB Chain.
