VanEck predicts Bitcoin could reach $53.4 million by 2050 under a "hyper-Bitcoinization" scenario, with significant roles in global trade. Its base case estimates a price of $2.9 million, while the bear scenario sees it at $130,000.

Cardano has spent years drifting lower after its 2021 peak, frustrating long-term holders and pushing many traders to write it off. But a new high-timeframe chart shared by analyst Crypto Patel indicates ADA may finally be reaching a make-or-break moment. Based on his analysis, Cardano is now s

The Pi coin chart forecast edited by Grok predicts reaching $0.50 in 2026 (up 140%), with amplified trading volume creating a bullish visual that sparks discussion. Supporters are optimistic about the user base, while skeptics question the lack of applications and liquidity. To reach the target, listing on exchanges, clear regulations, and ecosystem implementation are needed, but the complexity of IOU trading and ecosystem delays weaken confidence.

JPMorgan Chase, a global banking giant, is pushing its blockchain ambitions to new heights. The bank plans to expand its JPM Coin deposit token from the existing Ethereum Layer 2 network Base to privacy-focused Canton Network and other blockchain platforms, aiming to build a "regulated, interoperable digital dollar" system that spans public chains and private networks. This strategy aims to provide institutional clients with near-instant, secure cross-border payment and settlement options. Meanwhile, its Kinetics digital payment network has successfully been implemented, helping multinational companies like Siemens achieve 7x24 real-time foreign exchange settlements. JPMorgan's move marks a significant step for traditional financial giants to deeply reshape the infrastructure of global capital flows in a compliant and gradual manner, establishing a key paradigm for the integration of "blockchain + finance."

Today we’re bringing @Gmail into the Gemini era, making it a

Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution Optimism's governance body, Optimism Collective, recently proposed a groundbreaking plan to allocate 50% of the total revenue of the Superchain ecosystem network for regular open market repurchases of its native token OP. This proposal is scheduled to enter governance voting on January 22, 2026. If approved, the buyback plan could be officially launched as early as February 2026, with an initial funding pool derived from 5,868 ETH (approximately $50 million) in protocol revenue accumulated over the past twelve months. This move aims to fundamentally reshape the value foundation of the OP token, aligning its value with the growth of the entire Superchain, including flagship chains like Base and World Chain. It marks OP's transition from a purely governance token to a new ecosystem asset with intrinsic value support and sustained demand.

The well-known community platform Discord has secretly submitted an initial public offering (IPO) application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), planning to go public with the support of Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. This company, which has over 200 million monthly active users and was once valued at $15 billion, rejected a $12 billion acquisition offer from Microsoft in 2021 and has now chosen to list independently. This move comes as the U.S. tech IPO market is warming up, with last year's funding more than double that of 2024. For the cryptocurrency industry, Discord's IPO is not only a business milestone but also a key signal that its status as a core infrastructure of Web3 is gaining recognition from mainstream capital markets.

Entering 2026, the long-dormant Memecoin market has made a powerful comeback at an astonishing speed. According to CryptoQuant data, the total market capitalization of this sector has surged by over $8 billion since the beginning of the year, with PEPE up 65% year-to-date, BONK increasing 49%, and FLOKI recording a 40% surge. This rebound began after the sector hit a historic low in December 2025, accounting for only 3.2% of the altcoin market, which is eerily similar to the market structure before the epic bull run at the end of 2020. Meanwhile, Jesse Pollak, founder of Coinbase's Layer 2 network Base, highly praised the value of Memecoin as a "community coordination point," with the total market cap of on-chain Memecoin rising 14% in a single day to surpass $600 million. This frenzy, driven by community culture, platform infrastructure, and market cycles, is once again testing the boundaries between "utility" and "meme" in the crypto market.

The cryptocurrency market has always been about the numbers, but what happens when those numbers reflect a separate narrative from the price chart? The predicament that Virtual Protocol’s base token (VIRTUAL) is in now fits that mold. On-chain analyst Chyan recently completed a detailed 24-hour

By 2025, public blockchains may no longer be the sexy track of grand narratives, because what users truly care about is no longer throughput, the size of funding rounds, or the豪华 backing behind them, but whether there are real users experiencing genuine growth. Are there on-chain transactions with real value? Are there developers who can stay long-term, and applications that can grow beyond the circle? During this year, some public chains have transitioned from "being discussed" to "being used," some have chosen to slow down and refine their underlying capabilities, and others have validated their long-term paths through market fluctuations. "2025 OKX Public Chain Friends" is not a review of a grand narrative, but an invitation for frontline participants to clarify what has truly been achieved this year, which judgments have been proven correct, and where further adjustments are needed—because these are the core issues that communities and users care about most. By 2025, OKX's collaborations with multiple public chains will no longer be limited to single instances.

At the beginning of 2026, the US national debt surpassed the $38.5 trillion mark, a level that was originally expected to be reached around 2030, but was broken four years early, highlighting the rapid deterioration of the US fiscal situation. Meanwhile, the global Bitcoin community celebrated the 17th anniversary of Bitcoin's Genesis Block on January 3rd, commemorating the birth of the first block in 2009. The embedded headline "Treasury Secretary is on the verge of implementing the second round of bank emergency aid" echoes across a 17-year historical span with the current massive national debt. Analysis indicates that annual debt interest payments of one trillion dollars have become the "new normal" for fiscal policy, while government efforts to increase revenue and cut costs through tariffs and institutional reforms are insufficient in the face of the enormous debt base. This stark contrast continues to reinforce Bitcoin's core narrative as an inflation hedge and a fixed supply asset.

Highlights of this Issue The weekly coverage period for this issue spans from December 19, 2025, to December 26, 2025. This week, the total on-chain RWA market capitalization steadily increased to $19.04 billion, with the number of holders surpassing 590,000, indicating sustained growth momentum; meanwhile, the total market cap of stablecoins, after approaching $300 billion, has nearly stagnated, further highlighting the contraction in active user base expansion and on-chain activity. Global regulatory frameworks continue to advance: the United States is considering providing a tax safe harbor for stablecoins, Japan plans to promote the on-chain issuance of local government bonds, and countries like China, South Korea, and Ghana are accelerating their deployment in digital currencies and stablecoins. Domestic institutions' overseas branches are gradually exploring applications such as digital renminbi and stablecoin top-ups and payments: ICBC's Singapore branch is piloting digital renminbi overseas wallet top-ups, and Ctrip's overseas version has integrated stablecoin payments, demonstrating accelerated adoption of stablecoins in cross-border settlement and travel consumption scenarios. Meanwhile, Ethereum DAT company E

Author: imToken If you often cross between Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism, you must have felt a subtle "disconnect." Although individual L2 transactions are almost instant, when you try to transfer assets from chain A to chain B, you often have to wait several minutes or even longer. This is not because L2 itself is slow, but because in traditional processes, a transaction involving cross-layer and cross-chain operations must go through a lengthy and rigorous process: L2 sequencer ordering → Submission to L1 → L1 reaching consensus and finality. In short, under the current Ethereum architecture, finality on L1 usually takes two Epochs (about 13

In 2025, Base further solidified its position as the leading Ethereum L2 across numerous data metrics. Revenue grew from $2.5 million in December 2023 to $14.7 million in December 2024, with a market share of 63%, and continued to lead in key indicators such as DeFi TVL and user numbers. In 2026, the focus will shift to Base App's layout in the creator economy. This article is adapted from a piece by Messari, compiled, edited, and written by PANews.

As the SocialFi sector in the Crypto realm declines and social and financial seem to be difficult to coexist, exchanges and emerging trading frontends are quietly embedding social features into their financial interfaces. Paramita Investment Director Tykoo pointed out that AI is reshaping the moat of trading products, and the most noteworthy track in 2026 might be the "combination of social trading and prediction markets."

Berkshire Hathaway reduced its Apple holdings by 74% while buying 17.8 million shares of Alphabet, reflecting a strategic shift towards AI, cloud, and digital ads amidst Apple's growth in revenue and installed base.

Author: AJC, Messari Enterprise Research Manager Translation: Tim, PANews By 2025, Base has further solidified its leading position as Ethereum's L2 champion across many data metrics. Among them, revenue is the most indicative of its dominance within the entire L2 ecosystem. Although the total revenue of L2 has significantly declined from its peak in 2024, Base continues to maintain a dominant position in the L2 market. In December 2023, Base's on-chain revenue was $2.5 million, accounting for only 5% of the total L2 revenue of $53.7 million. One year later, Base's on-chain revenue grew to $14.7 million, representing 63% of the total L2 revenue of $23.5 million in December 2024. This trend continued into 2025, with Base achieving $75.4 million in revenue from the beginning of the year, accounting for 62% of the total L2 revenue of $120.7 million. Base's leading advantage
