The drama in prison is more exciting than the crypto world market?

The founder of FTX, who is currently serving time, has recently made the news again—not for a retrial, but for standing up for a fellow inmate. His cellmate is the former president of Honduras, who was sentenced for a drug-related case. Now SBF has come forward to say that the other party has been framed. Even more surprisingly, there are whispers from Trump’s side considering a "pardon" for this former president.

A trader from a collapsed exchange and a former head of state imprisoned for drug-related charges have formed a "brotherhood" behind bars. If this plot were written as a novel, editors would say, "It's too absurd, not realistic enough." Yet, this is reality.

What does this have to do with us? The market will not directly plummet or surge in the short term due to this news, but there are two hidden dangers worth noting:

**Lost another round in the battlefield of public opinion**
Every time SBF makes headlines, the media habitually ties "crypto assets" and "financial fraud" together. The trust that the industry has painstakingly built is about to be consumed again. For newcomers who are just wanting to enter the crypto world, this kind of negative news is a deterrent.

**The political chessboard is getting bigger and bigger**
Trump's statement is not just casual talk. This indicates that cryptocurrency is no longer just a matter for the tech world; it has been drawn into a more complex power game. Future regulatory policies may not only consider technology and the market, but also who is on stage, who is campaigning, and who needs to appease which interest groups.

It's fine to be a bystander, but don't forget the core logic: this industry is still very young, and noise will always outweigh effective information. What you should really care about is—does your holding logic stand up to scrutiny? Can your risk exposure handle unexpected situations? Those lively gossip news are just background noise.
