Crypto.news reported that OneKey founder Yishi urged 
Bitcoin investors to avoid leverage and altcoins as the flagship cryptocurrency approached $62,000. His recommendations focused on limiting exposure during a broad decline in digital assets rather than adding to positions through borrowed funds or smaller cryptocurrencies.
The report also noted contrasting perspectives from Bitwise and Strive, although Crypto.news’ summary did not specify either organization’s precise forecast or reasoning. Their inclusion placed Yishi’s caution within a wider debate over the crypto market’s outlook while Bitcoin was undergoing a substantial weekly loss.
The warning is supported by only one outlet in the supplied coverage, with no independent reporting available to corroborate the remarks or clarify the differences between the Bitwise and Strive outlooks. The original wording and any supporting context beyond the published summary were not provided, so the attributable details remain limited to Yishi’s call to avoid leverage and altcoins. Live market data show Bitcoin at $65,523, down 2.57% over 24 hours and 13.64% over seven days. Its market capitalization stands at $1.32 trillion. The total crypto market capitalization is $2.28 trillion, and the broader market is broadly lower, with the Fear & Greed Index reading 10 on a scale that categorizes conditions as extreme fear.
The development matters because it reflects a defensive response to a market showing both substantial weekly weakness and unusually pessimistic sentiment. Market participants may watch Bitcoin’s ability to hold current levels, the pace of the broader decline, and whether Bitwise and Strive publish more detail explaining their differing market assessments.
