In the second half of 2024, according to Eastern Eight Time, a heavily invested trader on the market platform **Polymarket** with the code name **beachboy4**, was humorously referred to by the community as the "Polymarket Goddess of Stocks." In a round of heavy bets on the U.S. elections and macro events, their account equity once surged to about **3 million dollars**, but then faced a series of liquidations and failed margin calls within just a few weeks, retracting from the peak to nearly zero, becoming a notable case in this round of the "election market."

The undercurrents of liquidity, political gambles, and cyclical reconstruction will together compose a new market narrative. The financial market of 2025 will conclude amidst the soaring traditional assets and the unexpected silence of cryptocurrencies, leaving investors with a core suspense: does Bitcoin's historic annual decline a year after its halving mean that its old cyclical laws have completely failed? The lagging of "digital gold" in this round of broad asset appreciation forces the market to focus on deeper driving logic.

In the early hours of January 3, local time, the United States launched a military strike against Venezuela, and the operation quickly escalated. Trump announced the capture of President Maduro and his wife, while Venezuela declared a national state of emergency and called for armed resistance.

At the beginning of January, in East Eight Zone time, on-chain monitoring data showed that two distinctly different styles of capital were forming a hedging layout in the same arena: on one side, institutional funds represented by **Trend Research** continued to buy spot on-chain, while on the other side, large players on **Hyperliquid** perpetual contracts concentrated on opening short positions, with a nominal scale exceeding **100 million dollars**. The rapid gathering of long and short forces in the same underlying asset directly amplified market fluctuations.

After the explosive news of the U.S. military raid capturing Venezuelan President Maduro broke, the financial markets showed a mixed performance.

The day after the operation, U.S. crude oil futures opened down 1% at $56.76 per barrel, and Brent crude also fell to $60.08 per barrel. On the same day, spot gold opened significantly higher, briefly breaking through $4,370 per ounce.
