In addition, the "air fright" staged in the United States has attracted attention. According to CCTV news, local time1October 23rd 10, according to ABC, a flight of Alaska Airlines was diverted on the evening of 22nd due to "credible security threat". The statement said that during the flight, a pilot tried to shut down the engine of a passenger plane and crashed it, and was charged with 83 counts of attempted murder. At that time, the plane carrying 80 passengers and 4 crew members was originally scheduled to fly from Everett, Washington to San Francisco.

96,000 people exploded.
10 During the Asian trading hours of 65438+24, Bitcoin suddenly rose sharply, breaking the $35,000 mark in intraday trading, and the intraday increase once exceeded 14%. It is worth noting that this is the first time since 2022 that bitcoin spot has risen to more than $35,000/piece.
Digital currency, such as Bitcoin, suddenly rose sharply, resulting in a large number of short positions. According to public data, the digital currency contract of the whole network broke 500 million US dollars (about 3.65 billion yuan) in 24 hours; In the last 24 hours, 9607 1 overseas investors were exposed.
Stimulated by the soaring bitcoin price, digital currency concept stocks of US stocks rose sharply after hours, among which MicroStrategy rose by more than 6% and Bitcoin base rose by more than 5%.
Some analysts pointed out that this wave of bitcoin surge was mainly stimulated by the favorable expectations of spot ETF approval. It is reported that in the next few weeks, the first batch of US spot bitcoin ETFs may be approved, which will lead to speculative demand.
Cointelegraph reported this morning that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved iShares Bitcoin spot ETF. BlackRock later confirmed that the listing application of Bitcoin spot ETF is still under review by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
ETF analyst EricBalchunas said that this is a positive signal. IShares spot bitcoin ETF has the stock code IBTC and may be listed on Nasdaq. BlackRock may have obtained permission from the US Securities and Exchange Commission to list ETFs, or it is "making all the preparations".
In addition, the US court ruled that the listing application of Bitcoin ETF should be re-handed over to the SEC for trial. The US Securities and Exchange Commission was informed of the subsequent disposal of the listing plan of Gray Bitcoin ETF.
Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that once the spot bitcoin ETF is approved for listing, it will be recognized as an investable asset class to some extent and legally purchased by investors. However, Bitcoin itself lacks practical application scenarios, and it is difficult to solve the problem without the support of the underlying assets. Regulators are more cautious about spot bitcoin ETFs. Even if the spot bitcoin ETF is approved to go online, it cannot guarantee the long-term stability of the bitcoin transaction price.
Wang Peng emphasized that cryptocurrency transactions have high risks, and ordinary users should not be attracted by the appearance of short-term increase to avoid possible property loss risks. Especially when the domestic cryptocurrency transaction is completely stopped, the rights and interests of ordinary users are not protected. Users should deeply understand the risks of participating in cryptocurrency speculation, don't be tempted by the so-called high-yield words, and treat the benefits and risks rationally.
A turbulent sky
101October 24th According to CCTV news, local time1October 23rd, the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that a flight of Alaska Airlines was diverted on the evening of 22nd due to "credible security threats".
The airline said that the plane was originally scheduled to fly from Everett, Washington to San Francisco with 80 passengers and four crew members, but it was diverted to Portland due to "credible security threats".
The airline said that law enforcement agencies are investigating the incident.
According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on the 23rd, according to a statement of Alaska Airlines, a crew member of the flight was charged with 83 counts of attempted murder for trying to shut down the engine of the passenger plane and crashed in a flight on the evening of 22nd.

Airlines cut their annual profit forecast, and it is predicted that by February 2024, the capacity growth will be 3% less than that of 20 19.
"Big Bear" suddenly closed its position
A very dramatic scene happened in the U.S. Treasury bond market overnight: the yield of 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds hit the 5% mark in intraday trading and fell sharply all the way, once falling by 19 basis points.
The "fuse" that triggered this reversal was a tweet from Wall Street bosses. Bill ackman, a well-known American hedge fund tycoon and founder of Pershing Plaza, announced on the X platform (formerly "Twitter") that he had closed his long-term US debt.
Ackerman pointed out that under the current long-term interest rate, there are too many risks in continuing to short bonds. As a result, the short position of long-term debt in the United States was leveled. The economic growth rate in the United States is lower than that shown by recent data.
In early August this year, Ackerman revealed that he was shorting 30-year US Treasury bonds through options. Since the end of July, the price of 30-year US Treasury bonds has been falling sharply, and the yield has increased by nearly 100 basis point. After a record drop of 17% in 2022, the Bloomberg Global Composite Bond Index has fallen by 4.8% so far this year.
It is worth mentioning that BillGross, a legendary investor known as the "king of debt", wrote that he is buying short-term interest rate futures because the United States is expected to experience a recession before the end of the year.
Analysts pointed out that it remains to be seen whether the retreat of these two bears marks the peak of the current US debt selling. Some market observers also said that it is not impossible for the yield of US 10 government bonds to rise to 6%.
