According to PANews, the Brazilian Ministry of Culture has approved a cultural initiative named 'Música do Bitcoin.' This project aims to convert Bitcoin price fluctuations into live music performances. The approval allows organizers to raise funds through a government program supporting cultural projects. The core idea behind the project is an algorithm that tracks Bitcoin market data in real-time. As Bitcoin prices rise and fall, the system instantly translates these changes into orchestral performance instructions. Musicians will not play from a fixed score but will instead perform notes generated by the market data.

According to PANews, Yi Lihua, associated with Trend Research, announced on the X platform that the institution has increased its Ethereum (ETH) holdings by 11,520 tokens. Yi emphasized their consistent strategy of accumulating ETH, noting that since the price drop to around $3,000 following the 1011 event, they have become one of the largest ETH holders in the industry. The strategy is based on a positive outlook for the 2026 bull market, particularly in the first quarter. Yi mentioned that large positions are challenging to acquire at the lowest price points, so minor fluctuations of a few hundred dollars are not a concern. Yi also highlighted the exaggerated dominance of industry leaders, with ETH contract holdings reaching new highs and becoming a significant price driver. On some platforms, contract holdings are several times the spot supply. Additionally, the year 2026 is expected to be favorable due to financial blockchain integration, stablecoins, interest rate cuts, and supportive crypto policies. Yi stated that they will continue to purchase until the bull market arrives, with the largest position in ETH, followed by significant holdings in WLFI and allocations in BTC, BCH, and BNB.
