In American criminal history, if we are to choose the two most chilling and unsolvable cold cases, the 1947 Los Angeles "Black Dahlia" murder case and the 1960s to 1970s "Zodiac Killer" that shocked the entire nation are almost undisputed answers. The two cases span different eras, cities, and victim backgrounds, yet both leave behind numerous mysteries and have given rise to countless conspiracy theories, novels, and movies. The Zodiac Killer's taunting of police and media with coded letters is also a symbol of the "high IQ serial killer" in American pop culture. In 2007, the film "Zodiac," directed by David Fincher, depicted the investigators' decades-long futile pursuit in a calm and realistic style, embedding the anxiety of "truth forever missing" deep into the audience's mind. However, in 2025

AI technology is increasingly expanding into everyday devices, and the core technology leading this transformation—"heterogeneous computing"—is on the rise. This is a concept that enables units with different performances and functions, such as CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs, to work together organically within a single system, while achieving performance optimization and energy efficiency. Chris Burke, Senior Vice President of ARM's Edge AI Business Division, emphasized at CES 2026: "We are currently in a transitional period where AI is moving away from data centers and into user devices," and pointed out that such technologies are creating perceptible differentiated experiences in daily life. ARM is working with NVIDIA to enable AI-driven capabilities on various edge devices such as smartphones and wearables. Burke explained, "Smartphones containing ARM CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs are typical representatives," and "thanks to heterogeneous computing, users can experience faster, smarter AI with longer battery life."

Author: Zen, PANews Telegram recently once again came into the spotlight due to a piece of financial information directed at investors: revenue is on the rise, but net profit has turned downward. The key variable here is not user growth slowing down, but the downward price movement of TON, which has "penetrated" asset-side fluctuations into the profit and loss statement. Selling over 450 million USD worth of TON tokens has led the outside world to re-examine the利益关系与边界 of Telegram and the TON ecosystem. Due to the low price of TON, Telegram's revenue surged sharply but still resulted in net losses According to FT reports, in the first half of 2025, Telegram achieved a significant increase in revenue.

Written by: Nico Pei Translated by: Jiahui, Chaincatcher Insights from Private Credit Fixed-rate lending dominates the private credit space because borrowers need certainty, not because lenders prefer it. Borrowers—corporations, private equity, real estate sponsors—are primarily concerned with cash flow predictability. Fixed rates eliminate the risk of benchmark interest rate increases, simplify budgeting, and reduce refinancing risk. This is especially important for leveraged or long-term projects where interest rate fluctuations could threaten repayment ability. In contrast, lenders generally prefer floating rates. Lenders price loans as "benchmark rate + credit spread." The floating structure protects profit margins when interest rates rise, reduces duration risk, and allows lenders to capture upside gains when benchmark rates increase. Fixed rates are typically only advantageous for lenders when

Bridgewater (Bridgewater) founder Ray Dalio pointed out that the US political power structure has historically followed a "biennial" pattern. As inflation and living costs rise, the 2026 midterm elections could lead to a significant shift in congressional power, further weakening the policy push of the Trump administration and potentially impacting the current regulatory easing process that the crypto industry relies on. Rising inflation and living costs may shift political winds Dalio stated that, based on historical experience, US political power tends to fluctuate noticeably every two years, mainly because the ruling party often "makes too many promises during campaigns, but finds it difficult to fully deliver once in office." He highlighted that the "affordability" issue is likely to become the most critical political topic in 2026, which could be unfavorable for the Republican Party. He anticipates that the Republicans may lose control of the House of Representatives as a result, leading to a shift in the political landscape in 2027.

Ripple President Monica Long confidently stated in a Bloomberg interview that the company currently plans to remain private and has no intention of initiating an IPO. This announcement comes shortly after a massive $500 million funding round completed in November 2025, valuing the company at $40 billion. Ripple has chosen a different path from peers like Circle and BitGo, backed by a healthy balance sheet, a continuously growing $95 billion in payment processing volume, and the rapid rise of its stablecoin RLUSD, which surpassed $1 billion in market cap just seven months after launch. This marks a shift in the crypto industry’s leading players from pursuing the allure of public markets to leveraging private capital and strategic acquisitions to deepen their foothold in the next-generation global financial settlement layer.

整理 & 编译：深潮 TechFlow Guests: Mike Ippolito, Co-founder of Blockworks, Host: David Hoffman, Bankless Key Takeaways David Hoffman and Mike Ippolito discuss why 2025, despite reaching new all-time highs, appears to be exceptionally challenging, and why this tension is crucial for 2026. They believe the crypto industry is entering a phase similar to "Internet in 2002" — a period of declining speculation, increasing focus on fundamentals, and accelerated industry consolidation. The conversation covers reasons why Ethereum might experience a revival, why Bitcoin sentiment could face difficulties, predictions for the market and perpetual contracts, and how builders and investors should adapt as the crypto industry shifts from hype to genuine value creation.

Germany's flagship stock index DAX first surpassed the 25,000-point mark on January 7, 2026. This is the result of continuous record highs since the beginning of this year and is expected to serve as a positive signal for the global financial markets. According to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the DAX index opened the day up 0.55% from the previous trading day, at 25,029.64 points, and reached a new high during the session. The DAX index reflects the stock prices of the top 40 listed companies by market capitalization in Germany and is considered a key indicator of the health of the European economy. This rise in the index appears to reflect more a change in broad investor sentiment rather than short-term event-driven factors. Conus Bank market analyst pointed out that recent market expectations generally do not foresee the escalation of tensions between the US and Venezuela into military conflict, and the anticipated decline in oil prices triggered by this has had a positive impact on investment sentiment. Additionally, investment in markets outside the US, especially in European stocks, has been...

KOSPI( on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index, on January 7, 2026, was driven by a rally in U.S. tech stocks, breaking through the 4,600-point mark for the first time during trading, then fluctuating repeatedly, and finally closing at 4,551.06 points, once again setting a new record for the highest closing price.

The crypto market is set to rise in 2026, but whether this trend can continue remains uncertain.

Madman says… The market, whether in terms of sentiment or trading volume, has already reached an extremely quiet state. Mainstream coins like Bitcoin are stuck in a narrow range, sideways trading within a very small zone. This indicates that a trend reversal will occur soon (perhaps in early January). Based on the current trend, the probability of a downward spike is higher than a direct rise or fall. The strategy is to continue holding and wait for a new low to buy the dip. The significant rise in precious metals already indicates that inflation is on the way, so by 2026, the water will come. The rest is up to time. Bitcoin will continue to prove its irreplaceable value and incomparable consensus advantage.
