Author: Aleks Gilbert, DL News Translation: Wu Shuo The past year, the United States experienced a crypto policy revolution. In less than a year of his second term, President Donald Trump appointed industry-friendly regulators who ended investigations into crypto companies, made it easier for banks to hold crypto assets, and also facilitated asset management firms in launching crypto-related ETFs. Under Trump's push, lawmakers passed landmark legislation on stablecoins and made significant progress in market structure legislation. After these victories became facts, it’s natural to wonder whether 2026 will still be an important year for crypto policy. The short answer is: yes. So, without further ado, here are some key dates for US crypto policy in 2026. January January is destined to be a month of events

Prince Group former HR manager applies for fund unfreezing, unexpectedly revealing details of Chen Zhi's related companies' assets in Singapore. CAD rejects the application and prepares to seize more assets, including a 3.7 million SGD check and a 200,000 USD bond. Court documents disclose that four companies hold 8 accounts with Revolut and Malayan Banking, with a total balance of over 4 million SGD.

When 2025 kicks off with a series of positive developments, the three top voices in the crypto world—Arthur Hayes, Tom Lee, and Michael Saylor—unanimously painted a grand blueprint for Bitcoin's price surge. Their forecast ranges focused on $150,000 to $250,000, firmly believing that driven by pro-crypto presidents, institutional adoption, and ETF capital inflows, Bitcoin would easily break through its October all-time high of $126,080. However, the actual trajectory was quite the opposite. By late December, Bitcoin's price had fallen about 10% year-to-date, hovering around $86,000, forming a stark contrast to all optimistic predictions. Behind this collective misjudgment are macro headwinds that were not fully priced in, investor fatigue, and a sudden shift in market risk sentiment. Reflecting on this "prophecy failure" is not only an examination of the perspectives of these three industry leaders but also a profound reflection on the driving logic of crypto asset prices: in the complex and ever-changing global financial markets, how much influence does a single industry narrative truly hold?

With the trend of listed companies allocating Bitcoin becoming more prevalent, a Nasdaq-listed company is now turning its attention to a more controversial area. Cypherpunk Technologies recently announced an increase of approximately $29 million to its holdings of 56,418.09 ZEC privacy coins, bringing its total holdings to an astonishing 290,062.67 coins, accounting for about 1.76% of the circulating supply of Zcash. Supported by Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, this company’s long-term goal is to hold 5% of the total supply of the Zcash network, elevating privacy assets to a strategic reserve level comparable to Bitcoin. This increase has sparked intense debate in the market: amid increasingly strict global regulations and urgent demands for financial privacy, can privacy-enhanced cryptocurrencies like Zcash truly replicate Bitcoin’s success path and become a new option on corporate balance sheets?

Techub News reports that, according to Florida Politics, Florida State Senator Joe Gruters has introduced legislation to authorize the state government to create and manage a cryptocurrency reserve fund, directly investing in digital assets as part of a long-term financial strategy. The proposals, SB 1038 and SB 1040, will jointly establish the Florida Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve Fund within the Office of the Chief Financial Officer and create a dedicated trust fund to hold and manage assets. SB 1040 establishes the trust fund, specifying funding sources including legislative appropriations, statutory revenues, and cryptocurrencies obtained through purchases, blockchain forks, or airdrops. Non-cryptocurrency investment income can also be deposited. The reserve aims to diversify the state's investment portfolio and adapt to the emerging digital economy. SB 1038 authorizes the current Chief Financial Officer to...

Zcash has surged over 800% in the past 12 months, while Bitcoin has declined by 5% during the same period.

The Korean cryptocurrency industry faces a turning point. According to Yonhap News Agency, the Digital Asset Basic Law, originally scheduled to be introduced this year, has been postponed to 2026 due to key regulatory disagreements. This stablecoin bill, promoted by President Lee Jae-myung, was originally seen as a milestone for Korea's crypto market, but now it has stalled over issues regarding "stablecoin issuer qualifications" and "reserve asset custody mechanisms." The power struggle between the Financial Services Commission and tech industry players over regulatory authority has put the legalization process of stablecoins in Korea on hold.

Cardano (ADA) faces bearish momentum, currently trading around $0.351 after a 7.2% decline. Support is near $0.34, while resistance is between $0.37 and $0.383. Technical indicators show a persistent downtrend, but analysts suggest potential for accumulation ahead of a breakout.

Cryptocurrency Market Overview BTC (-0.37% | Current Price 87,393 USDT): Bitcoin remains in a narrow range between $86,000 and $90,000, having been repeatedly rejected near $90,000 since mid-December. Recent price movements resemble a consolidation phase after volatility contraction rather than a trend continuation, with both bulls and bears temporarily reaching a stage of balance. Once the price effectively breaks through the critical resistance zone of $90,000–$92,000, upward momentum is expected to re-ignite. From an on-chain perspective, Bitcoin is gradually transitioning from the previous aggressive selling phase to a stabilization phase. Currently, a large number of spot buy orders, mainly from whales, are clustered around the current price level, forming a stark contrast to earlier pullbacks dominated by retail traders and a noticeable absence of large participants. The sustained involvement of spot whales typically indicates longer-term position building, especially common in low-volatility environments.

Holding 5,000 XRP today could translate into substantial gains if XRP grows to half of Bitcoin’s market cap. Bitcoin has plunged sharply from its early October peak of $126,198, a level that pushed its market cap above $2.5 trillion. However, amid the broader market downturn, the flagship

The U.S. Department of Justice has charged Russian national Aleksey Bilyuchenko with hacking into Mt. Gox in 2011 and stealing approximately 647,000 Bitcoins (worth billions of dollars today). According to recent Arkham on-chain analysis data, wallets associated with him transferred 1,300 Bitcoins (about $114 million) to unknown exchanges within the past week. The related wallets still hold about 4,100 Bitcoins, with a total of 2,300 Bitcoins previously sold. This incident has once again raised concerns about potential money laundering activities related to the historic leak that led to Mt. Gox's bankruptcy in 2014. The 43-year-old Bilyuchenko and his 29-year-old accomplice Aleksandr Verner are reportedly involved in this case since September 2011.

Author: Frank, PANews As the narrative benefits of the crypto market gradually fade, funds are searching for the next definitive exit. Recently, prediction markets have emerged as a dark horse, not only because of their independent performance amid turbulent market conditions but also due to a series of high-return "smart money" strategies that have surfaced behind them, making them widely regarded as one of the most explosive tracks by 2026. However, for most onlookers, prediction markets still seem like a black box wrapped in a blockchain exterior. Although built on smart contracts, oracles, and stablecoins, their core mechanisms differ significantly from traditional "coin trading" logic. Here, it’s not about candlestick charts, but about probabilities; not about storytelling, but about facts. For newcomers, questions arise one after another: How does this market operate efficiently? What are the fundamental differences between it and traditional crypto gameplay? What exactly does the legendary "smart money" hold that is not publicly known?

Pi coin drops over 20% to $0.192, with the head and shoulders neckline at $0.182 in imminent danger. The MFI reaching a new high indicates retail investors are buying the dip, forming a bullish divergence, but the CMF not breaking the zero line suggests large funds are watching on the sidelines. Breaking above $0.218 will lead to a 6% increase, while falling below $0.182 could crash 25% to $0.137. Can retail investors' bottom-fishing hold until big capital enters?

Original Title: Why the DeFi Lending Moat Is Bigger Than You Think Original Author: Silvio, Cryptocurrency Researcher Original Compilation: Dingdang, Odaily Planet Daily As the market share of vaults and curators in the DeFi world continues to grow, the market begins to question: Are lending protocols gradually squeezing profit margins? Is lending no longer a good business? But if we shift our perspective back to the entire on-chain credit value chain, the conclusion is quite the opposite. Lending protocols still hold the strongest moat in this value chain. We can quantify this with data. In Aave and
